Adds a full resprite of mercenary gear to be less excessively saturated. As well, this adds unique freelancer sprites and gives the freelancers a decent new RIG labelled the "Rhino Hardsuit," one that's actually equipped. It has slightly more bullet resist and less laser resist than the merc hardsuit.
Ports (and adjusts) Baystation12/Baystation12#12521 et al. Essentially brings our visualnet code up to the standard of three years ago, rather than five.
Side effects of merging may include but are not limited to loss of AI vision, helmet camera failure, garbage collection implosion, infinite turf loops, and unintended layer shenanigans.
High-level changes:
Overall, visualnet/chunk procs have been renamed and refactored to be clear as to their function.
Fix some layering issues related to magic numbers, these have been set to constants.
Visualnets now track source movement rather than overriding individual mob/obj procs.
Adds obfuscation underlay to complicate memory fudging to remove camera static.
Cameras now only add themselves to the cameranet if they're on open (non-restricted) networks.
Helmet cameras now use cameras themselves rather than network defines.
Adds a sorted object list insertion helper.
The Camera MIU (presently unused) should now function properly.
Unused cultnet / cult mask deleted because refactoring that would likely kill the few brain cells I have left
Turns the z-level restriction procs into macros
Changes z-level restrictions to use the macros
Use contact_levels for announcements (instead of player_levels)
Restricts the teleporter to station_levels instead of player_levels
Restricts AI tracking to station_levels instead of player_levels
Mechs only get tracking beacons if they are on station_levels (instead of player_levels)
Construction Drones gib if they enter a station level
Mining Drones gib if they leave the station levels
Removes the mining equipment vendor from the scrapheap
Replaced all the snowflakey shuttle turfs with either /turf/simulated/wall/shuttle or /turf/simulated/floor/shuttle where I could, meaning shuttles are no longer indestructible but they can still take a lot of punishment.
Added a few unsimulated turf variants to use on the cc z-level rather than having to use their simulated counterparts.
Added smooth dark shuttle wall icons and a few more shuttle floor variants by AmoryBlaine.
Fixed the dark shuttle corner blocks from looking weird after transit.
A side effect of removing these shuttle turf types, conjure spells will now work inside of shuttles that used these removed turfs. Could perhaps be readded using areas if needed.
This is part 1 of the stuff from #5771 which will be split up and added in smaller batches beginning with adding the turf types with this pr.
"The ninja uplink now gives proper access to the infiltrator store."
"The powersink now drains more power."
"The cooldown for the emergency power generator has been reduced to 2 minutes from 5."
"The power generator now generates 3500 units of power."
Added a ninja frequency to radios which ninjas spawn with to collaborate.
Two ninjas now spawn instead of just one.
Gave the ninja better spawning gear, a syndicate uniform, a belt with some tools and a pAI card.
The ninja suit now has new lights, and its shoes are now magboots.
Added a doorhack RIG module. Functions the same as the normal doorhack, but the user can move around after initiating the hack, as well as hack multiple airlocks at once.
Added new advanced combat belt, can hold various gear that a ninja would usually come across.
Gave the ninja teleporter a 5 second cooldown between uses.
Buffed the ninja's RIG armour values slightly. Still requires feedback, if ninjas die too quickly, it will be buffed more.
Added an additional toolbox, chair, suitcooling unit and ninja spawn point to the ninja shuttle on the centcomm level.
Gave the ninja a new uniform + gloves.
Tweaked Emergency Power Generator to give 2500 energy, but take 5 minutes to recharge. In the past, they took 24 seconds to recharge and gave 1500 energy, which made all other sources of energy regeneration useless.
Xenomorphs are pretty much badly done and don't really fit at all. This pr fully removes the human type ones, alongside with the infection, eggs and facehuggers.
balance: "Medical borg's are now able to handle tanks, breath mask's and organs with chem gripper."
tweak: "Renames Hunter Killers to Military Frames."
Adds a bit of what is related here: https://forums.aurorastation.org/topic/11941-antagonist-rework-20/
Pretty much, adds a couple of gear crates that mercenary teams, seeking to do a lore related gimmick, can buy by pooling their crystals. Right now, it is just adds a couple of human related factions, such as eridani, sol alliance, elyra and the frontier.
Update details
-Stealth suit is half as expensive to maintain, but costs 750 power to activate, to encourage it being used for actual stealth instead of cheesing by attacking and repeatedly re-cloaking.
-Power sink draws power twice as fast now. It is possible to use this while stealthed and have positive energy gain (about 100 every couple seconds, kind of like the reverse of the speed stealth used to drain power). This makes it better for use with the stealth module than the emergency power module, because using it doesn't decloak you. However, it still does make a lot of noise and sparks. There is a tradeoff for everything.
-Deactivating stealth is now a lot quieter, and should not be nearly as audible over long distances, reducing meta.
-Interacting with mobs deactivates the stealth field.
-Leg actuators no longer are disruptive and do not deactivate stealth.
Per #6429, someone mapped in a hazard suit into the pirate ship with a modified (and invalid) newlist access value that ATLAS could not understand.
To fix this, I have created a new pirate-only subtype of the hazard rig that can be accessed with the pirate's syndicate IDs. I also removed its ability to be viewed through station cameras at the same time, as an added bonus.
