Refactors the Server Greeting datum to do majority of the processing clientside. No longer will we be holding massive spans of text in memory, and looking over them for shits and giggles.
A number of bugfixes and under-the-hood tweaks. Nothing here needs changelog, and shouldn't really be noticed by players:
Fixes vehicles using stamina or moving faster when in sprint mode.
Fixes getting footstep sounds when driving a vehicle.
Changes cargo trains to use forceMove instead of move, for towing cars behind them. This fixes an issue where the train would become disconnected if the engine moved too fast.
Completely divorces vehicles from using mob speed vars at all, speed is defined on a per-vehicle basis.
Removes knockdown from sprinting exhaustion. Characters will now stop sprinting before they collapse.
changes:
rscadd: "Added a button on APCs to set the area lights to a 'night-mode' which is dimmer and saves energy."
rscadd: "Added an automated system to turn 'night-mode' on in hallways between 6pm and 7am in station time."
New feature! Toolboxes that are full of tools hit much harder, stun, and make a satisfying thunk. But they'll spill their contents everywhere, it's a one-shot thing
Fixes unathi being able to spam devour, and eat through faceplates
Slightly buffs IPC sprinting as requested by cake
Adds directional audio for explosions and fixes a variety of sound issues with them.
Adds screenshaking for explosions
Tweaks volumes and adds missing sounds for several window/airlock interactions.
Also fixes some runtime errors here and there which were discovered during testing, mostly just adding safeties
Things done:
Created several random objects, that can be used to randomize loot in the maint or other places. Several items, some rare things and other random useful or not objects.
Added a svd gun with its own snowflakness, to replace the heister's lwap, but, they will get an extra energy gun to compesate.
Added tracksuits, stunrod, new sprite for the rapier, a new sword flavor and the old cane sword.
Changed the heister ship armory; two random melee weapons, the dragunov with an extra mag and a random energy gun.
Changed the chances of ghetto guns going bad.
Replaced the carbines in the ert area with energy pistols, so, they can make use of the holsters.
Clumsy people may have trouble with glowsticks now.
This PR is intended to make working in cargo more interesting, and more like a real warehouse experience. IE, the place is an aladdin's cave full of wierd knicknaks and useful oddifies.

Preferences Helpers
So we have an easier way of keeping track who's represented where and how.
Add aggressive objectives and remove passive ones.
-Makes a lot of unsuitable events excluded from faking. Some of them could do with reworking to make them function, like the infestation and prison breaks, but for now i just had to exclude them
-Adds an In-character/descriptive name, used for the announcement apologising for the mistake
-Fixes an issue where using debug Trigger Event verb would fill the events list with empty severe events and cause runtime errors
A notable omission when i added bear events, that a few people have asked for.
Harvesting a dead bear now also makes a bearpelt for wearing. Trophies for the lizards
Fixes#1018
Fixes diona not recieving any light in space - initialises light amount to the max light value, so that is used in tiles where there is no lighting overlay. ie, space
Fixes dionastats organ references not updating when organs are lost or regrown
Fixes some spamming from lightmessages when a diona recovers after almost dying in the dark.
Adds a new light sensing message to the check light verb, if the response node is damaged or missing
Fixes synthetics speaking in a null language, by initialising their default language to basic. This should fix nymphs being unable to understand them.
Also fixes three runtime errors with finding types and devouring
Fills in some strange holes in cyborg functionality, fixing several borgs that were not quite fit at doing their jobs:
-Adds rolling pin and knife to service borgs; should allow them to cook a full range of foods. I've been getting regular nagging about this one from the community
-Adds the ability to pick up assemblies for engineering/research borgs, allowing them to construct some complex devices, notably bots and motionsensing cameras.
-Several items added to research borg: Dropper and reagent scanner, for chemistry, pen for renaming bots and writing research notes, and a plant bag for working in xenoflora
-Added altclick functionality for setting transfer rates on beakers. Essential for chemistry and cooking, since borgs can't use rightclick verbs on gripped items.
