Adds a proc that prints the variable type, optionally with some extra info like text/list length, types, etc. Mostly useful for debugging. In this journey I found out that there are some types that are simply "undetectable"... Like filters, procs/callables, etc.
Uses this in Varedit to make it slightly more clear which var is which. I played a lot with how it's displayed and it's kind of hard to make it visible enough but not distracting or taking up too much space. In the end I opted for a simple approach that just shows the short type and keeps varedit mostly untouched otherwise:
'NOFALL' is now a status flag instead of being a var specific to BSTechs. It allows the mob to move between Z-levels and through empty space; even to 'fly up' against gravity. However the tech can no longer use this to 'phase into' matter if there is something above them.
...for that you want to use Ruin-Everything instead: incorporeal movement now has an additional type that's (still) just like a ninja's, but it also allows you to move between Z-levels.
Adds the anti-gravity verb to the Bluespace Robot preset and starts them with 'NOFALL' on.
When using 'GODMODE' you will no longer take damage when you fall; instead a cool message will be shown and a quiet thump will be played.
'GODMODE' now protects you from the awful effects of running - you can run indefinitely and won't take damage from it.
Thanks to the above changes the BST is now self-contained in a single file (well except for the robot preset).
To facilitate the above changes several godmode and incorporeal checks have been added (mostly to movement procs). It cuts on some extra proc overrides and type checks. Also results in a more 'natural' experience when using NOFALL, GODMODE or incorporeal movement.
Changed incorporeal values to defines.
Added a "darkvision" mode for the BST goggles.
I also updated some of the BST verbs to be more descriptive.
PDAs are dead, long live PDAs. All trace of old PDAs has been scoured from the codebase, and in its place are modular computer PDAs that are feature-equivalent. Essentially every PDA function except the Syndicate detonation feature and Notepad has been ported over, and battery life for handheld computers has been boosted alongside the addition of charging cables to make things easier.
Varedit now remembers what was in the 'search' field when you click the 'refresh' link. This makes our miserable lives a little less miserable.
Tweaked varedit styles ever so slightly: it will now likely use a "better" monospace font depending on what's on your system. Var names are now bold and also monospace.
The window spawns a tiny bit bigger.
Adds a admin verb to force a specific away mission.
(So there is no need to dig around the the SSpersist_config controller)

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."
update_icons(), UpdateIcon() and updateicon() are now changed to be update_icon().
Many interactions expect a target to have an update_icon(), so they should all be the same.
Also fixed some stuff that was using relative pathing, along the way.
Reconnecting as a borg will now display you with the correct module on your HUD.
Being reset by an admin as a borg will now show you the right 'nomod' module on your HUD.
Scientific grippers can now grip enough stuff to be able to build mechs.
Science borgs now get cable coils, an experimental welding tool, and wirecutters.
Science borgs now get a fancy new module sprite, sprited by myself, with love.
Added an admin verb that ends the round smoothly, displaying the end round card.
Wizard learned spells are now properly displayed at round.
Antags added to gamemodes they don't belong in, now properly update the gamemode's antag template, allowing their things to be displayed at round end.
Fixed a typo in the apprentice pebble spawn-in calling it an 'artificer pebble' in deadchat.
