PDAs are dead, long live PDAs. All trace of old PDAs has been scoured from the codebase, and in its place are modular computer PDAs that are feature-equivalent. Essentially every PDA function except the Syndicate detonation feature and Notepad has been ported over, and battery life for handheld computers has been boosted alongside the addition of charging cables to make things easier.
changes:
rscadd: "Ported a new chat system, Goonchat, that allows for cool things like changing font style, size, spacing, highlighting up to 5 strings in the chat, and DARK MODE."
rscadd: "Repeated chat messages can now get compacted. You can disable this in goonchat settings."
rscadd: "You can change icon style to any font on your system."
tweak: "The game window has been altered a bit to adjust for this."
rscdel: "Removed skin style prefs as they are no longer used."
update_icons(), UpdateIcon() and updateicon() are now changed to be update_icon().
Many interactions expect a target to have an update_icon(), so they should all be the same.
Also fixed some stuff that was using relative pathing, along the way.
pAI can now be put into modular computers to control them. When a pAI is inserted, a new service will be unlocked, which can disable their access to the computer.
The VueUI change wasn't tested, but finding and replacing should leave the functionality unchanged.
- rscadd: "Incompatible applications are no longer downloaded via the presets."
- tweak: "Reduced/Adapted the size of various applications."
- tweak: "The investigations / generic wristbounds are now enrolled aswell."
- tweak: "Selecting a unenrolled device in the loadout no longer gives you the advanced version of it."
- tweak: "Adapts the modular computer news browser to work with our news system"
#8005 just revived.
Tasks to acomplish while here:
Fix merge conflicts
Add ntIRC direct messaging
Things I migth consider adding in future PR:
Porting IRC to VueUI
Porting File Manager to VueUI.
First, cycle speed of all NTSL2+ programs has been increased by a factor of, on average 10. Cycles are much faster than I gave them credit for in my original pull.
Secondly, a bug in which programs could bug out and appear on multiple computers should have been squashed.
Thirdly and most importantly, NTSL2+ can now talk to Integrated Electronics via the Subspace Transmitter Part.
when net.subscribe("channel"){print(message)} and net.message("channel", "contents") can be used for this.
