Vaurca hivemind language added.
Vaurca appropriate name generator added.
Tied Vaurca language to their neural socket organ.
Added a method for non-Vaurca to intercept the Vaurca hivenet so long as they construct the correct item.
Sprites for Vaurca organs.
Neutered all Vaurca.
Cutting open a Vaurca for surgery now requires heavier equipment.
Injecting a Vaurca with a syringe now will take time.
Adds various Vaurca cosmetic items available via loadout.
Adds a few new burst-fire weapons exploiting the burstfire fix - obtainable via research or adminbus.
Ports the ability to stick heads on spears from Paradise-code.
Added an error message when trying to bite someone before the cooldown expires.
Removed spoken Vaurca language.
Heavily nerfed K'ois' properties.
Halved the nutrition value of nutriment, returning it to old-code state.
Nerfed the damage dealt by bite, while reducing the cooldown.
Fixed burstfire weapons spamming attack messages when fired, allowing for more automatic weapons.
Fixed Vaurca player ability to select coloured eyes.
Rewrite's Mahzel's SQL character and preference saving.
Introduces easy config switching between the new and old system, with no troubles at all.
Also introduces better logging for DBQuery/proc/parseArguments(), should something go wrong. And classes SQL query errors as full on error snow, as opposed to debug data.
sqllogging depracted in favour of config.sql_enabled. Database loading is done through /hook/startup/proc/load_databases, with initialize_database_object() being a generalized proc to read any generic database config file. (TODO: config examples in relaiton to last remark.)
Both procs are now generalized, and accept a DBConnection object as an argument. Due to this generalization, all instances of `establish_db_connection()` must be renamed to `establish_db_connection(dbcon)`.
Also added variable `failed_connections` to the definition of DBConnection.
Renames the variables of the DBConnection object to make differentiating them easier.
Reworks the `DBConnection/New()` and `Connect()` methods to allow for the automatic creation of the dbi handler string. Adds a con_database variable to DBConnection to enable this. DBConnection objects now also house the current database they're using for this purpose.
Moves the constructor for dbcon under `/hook/startup/proc/connectDB()`, as it needs to be called after the SQL config has been read by `datum/global_init/New()`
- oxygen_agent_b wasn't used at all, except for filters which, for some reason filtered it in addition to phoron
- volatile_fuel was only used in two chemistry reactions as reaction result, it was replaced with gaseous phoron.
Corrects a number of places where New() did not call ..(), and implements similar changes to attempt to ensure New()/initialize() complete running before qdel() runs.
Cuts down on the number of created items during server start.
Because of the limitations of BYOND's bitwise operators (which affect both the old and new implementations of num2hex()), you cannot use numbers larger than 2^16 with that proc.
Manual port of https://github.com/PolarisSS13/Polaris/pull/430.
Clothes now have a flash protection and tint level. If one is wearing multiple items with these modifiers they do stack.
Glasses also have a number of additional additions such as sight flags, see_invis level, and so forth.
Flash protection comes in 4 levels: Reduced, none, moderate, major.
Reduced protection, for example, means the user takes increased damaged from welding.
Moderate protection safeguards mobs from flashes, flash grenades, projectors, etc.
Major protection protects from the above as well as welding.
Tint also comes in 4 levels: None, moderate, heavy, blind
Moderate tint will apply the nearsighted overlay.
Major tint will apply the welding overlay.
Blind will apply the blindness overlay.
The end result is an attempt of less type checking. Any set of glasses may now also contain HUD glasses.
This should make a future rewrite of HUD glasses easier (could have the HUD functionality be a datum rather than separate item).
