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."
Mech UIs can no longer be moved via click-drag.
The lower left mech UI has received a make-over.
You can now use a cyborg analyzer on a mech to get its diagnostics report.
Mecha movement and equipment usage cooldowns have been decoupled. You can now move directly after using your equipment, which makes them MUCH less clunky to use.
Mecha hardpoint UI elements will now get tinted red during their cooldowns, which will turn back to normal once the equipment can be used again.
Mecha UI text have been overhauled to look much prettier.
The charge level for mechs is now displayed as a percentage value, and actually fits on the screen.
Fixes mech mounted autolathes.
Adds a hand-mounted toolset that has: a wrench, a crowbar, and a screwdriver setting.
Replaces the AI mech's drill with a hand-mounted toolset.
I need icon and on-mech sprites for the back-mounted autolathe and the hand-mounted toolset. Neither have to have any special animations or anything, static images are fine. Toolset sprite doesn't have to change with tool change.
The AI can now remotely control mechs in its network. It has one mapped in near its core.
Messages received by your old body will now reach your VR body (does not affect Skrell Srom).
Exosuit pilots can now interact with elevator panels without having to get out.
Robotics and RnD can now create remote controlled mechs. The control centre is in the protolathe, while the exosuit upgrade is in the circuit imprinter.
Mechs can no longer be dismantled if it has a pilot in it.
Dismantling a mech now takes a while.
Ports Baystation12/Baystation12#19992 and Baystation12/Baystation12#27266.
Added a personal shield device to the traitor tools uplink.
Added a radiant shielding aura spell to Battlemage and Cleric.
Added an exosuit shield drone to the mechfab.
This works, but I'm not entirely happy with the sprites. The personal shield has no on-mob shimmer, it uses a mindbatterer grenade as an icon sprite. The wizard radiant spell uses a pretty big and janky sprite as an on-mob, and the exosuit's shield sprite doesn't follow the dir the mech faces, but that one I can maybe fix on my own. If anyone knows about that last one, lemme know, Bay had code for it that we do not.
Walking over someone lying on the floor with mechs will now hurt them. Damage is based on the legs.
Also, removed some baylore references to the mech parts, and made so that mechs can push mobs around.
sounadd: "Added sounds to mech's punch. They are different for each mech arms type and volume depends on damage of arms."
tweak: "Ripley's arms damage was increased to 40 damage."
Spent lots of time and lots of changes to fix issues:
bugfix: "Mechs no longer runtime during destroy call."
bugfix: "Turrets and NPCS no longer target empty mechs."
bugfix: "Mechs no longer runtime during armor check. Mechs now use their armor and values for it. Before it would ignore them entirely and deal 100% damage."
Added ismech() define and also QDEL_NULL_LIST() define from TG. Matt's suggestion
renamed any armour references in mech code to armor to keep it consistent
