Replaced the hivebot sprites (Thanks to Kyres1) as suggested in this thread. https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/11610-hivebotspace-bear-resprite/
Hivebot beacons now spawn in as one of three different variants, their only difference right now is the type of defensive weaponry they use. (Rapid firing taser, Radioactive/toxic beam or an incendiary beam)
Hivebot beacons keep track of their spawned bots, halting further spawns if the number of existing bots becomes that of the max allowed.
Added a red variant of the hivebot sprite, to easily differentiate between the melee and ranged variants
Hivebots are now affected by emps.
The timer now works properly, the hivebots will all not spawn at once.
New: Added a snoozing var, that if set to 1 will not allow the beacon to spawn bots until it has spotted an enemy. Will possibly be used in future mapping stuff related to dungeons and the like.
The balancing is something I'm torn on and will likely tinker with further in the future, pending feedback.
Implements various changes at the behest of lore-dev BygoneHero, namely:
Vaurca can now wear specially modified softsuits.
Vaurca now have their own special rigsuit a la the breacher: the combat exoskeleton. It comes with various special modules, including a boring laser that allows them to dig below themselves rapidly, a vaurca variant of the combat injector which includes phoron and k'ois paste, and a neural lattice which reduces halloss by sharing it with everyone else wearing a neural lattice.
Vaurca also have received various other currently unavailable event items, including a variant of the tactical mask that filters out nitrogen and allows the Vaurca wearing it to eat, tachyon rifles and carbines which penetrate up to three layers of walls and possess other fringe benefits, the gauss rifle which is a semi-automatic variant of the crossbow with greater power and a 6 rod magazine, the energy zweihander, commando armor and scout armor.
Introduces a general climbing mechanic. Climbing can be initiated by clicking on a wall or an open turf, and it is a percentage chance that is modified by the amount of stable/large items beneath you, and decreased by the amount of unstable/small items. Vaurca are naturally proficient and always succeed at climbing.
Changes Vaurca to see in blue-green vision. Their vision is generally brighter and reddish colors are converted to a blue-green color.
Adds the Sedantis flag, an interhive flag that celebrates the universal longing for Sedantis and is a symbol of the Vaurca diaspora.
This PR implements a system for manipulating a client's color safely and also ports a prioritization system for sorting client color from /tg/. Currently this PR also implements client coloration in the form of color blindness, namely:
Monochromacy
Deuteranopia
Tritanopia
Protanopia
DTP are mild brain traumas, whereas monocrhomacy is a severe brain trauma.
Furthermore, this PR removes the Needs Glasses prompt in character creation, and replaces it with a disability selector, allowing people to more closely refine their special little snowflakes.
Current disabilities available:
Nervousness
Nearsightedness
Deuteranopia
Tritanopia
Protanopia
Deafness
Muteness
Projectile hitscan effects moved to /effects/projectiles folder.
Most of projectile firing code and some of impact code refactored, and projectile hitscan effects refactored with ported TGcode (which is mostly TGcode I wrote anyways 😎)
Projectiles can now be fired at any angle, instead of just at the center of turfs!
Projectiles are now [in theory] 100% accurate down to 0.001 of a pixel.
