Fixes#89445 (well, technically. It fixes the bug associated but these
`say`s should really be emotes.)
Three things:
1. Reworks how language translation works.
Rather than scrambling a sentence into a language entirely, sentences
are now scrambled on a per-word basis.
Additionally, the 1000 most common words of a language are *never*
re-scrambled across the duration of a round. Once it's set it's set in
stone.
Example: (Sample / Old / New)
This allows for a number of things:
- More consistent translations, making it (more) viable to actually
"teach" someone words for something
- Maintaining emphasis such as caps (but not `||`, `++`, or `__` - at
least not yet)
- The following:
2. Adds partial language understanding
Some languages can understand portions of other languages.
This pr adds the following:
- Those who understand Beachtongue can understand 50% of Common and 33%
of Uncommon words.
- Those who understand Common can understand 33% of Beachtongue and 20%
of Uncommon words.
- Those who understand Uncommon can understand 20% of Common and 20% of
Beachtongue words.
3. Bilingual quirk has been expanded to accomodate these changes.
There are now two more preferences:
- Language Speakable
- You can toggle this, so you only understand the language, rather than
understand AND speak.
- Language Skill
- If you choose to be unable to speak the language, you can set how much
of the language you can understand, down to 10%.
Playing around languages is fun, but due to the way our translation
works, ALL context is immediately lost for what the other person may be
saying.
If the other person is shouting in all caps? Output language is normal
chatting. This is lame!
Even if someone is unable to understand you, there's a LOT you can
convey just by how you speak, and getting that across in game is quite
difficult when all translations get mauled so badly.
So this changes that.
- Emphasis like caps lock is maintained, so you see someone shouting in
caps in a foreign language you can probably intuit something is wrong
(but not what is wrong!)
- Some languages can gleam bits of other languages, so you MIGHT be able
to pick out context if you pay close attention
- "Brother" languages will now feel more like "brothers" and not
completely divergent
- You can even "teach" someone words in your language - at least the
most common words! (Until next round)
🆑 Melbert
add: Languages can now have partial understanding of other languages.
More common English words are more likely to be mutually understood.
add: Those who understand Beachtongue can understand 50% of Common and
33% of Uncommon words.
add: Those who understand Common can understand 33% of Beachtongue and
20% of Uncommon words.
add: Those who understand Uncommon can understand 20% of Common and 20%
of Beachtongue words.
add: Bilingual quirk: You can now choose between being able to speak or
not speak the language
add: Bilingual quirk: You can now choose to have partial understanding
of your language, rather than full.
qol: If you speak in ALL CAPS in a foreign language, the translated
words will also be ALL CAPS.
qol: Many more forms of punctuation are now conveyed across
translations.
qol: The 1000 most common English words will now never be scrambled when
translating into other languages for the duration of the round. This
means you can actually "learn" some words if you are especially
attentive! (Until the next round at least)
refactor: Refactored language translations. Report if you see any super
odd looking translations.
fix: Force-says forcing you to speak common (such as cult invocations)
will now correctly force you to speak common (even if you don't know
common)

* Rebalances space loot and space exploration
Co-authored-by: Timberpoes <silent_insomnia_pp@hotmail.co.uk>
* Unicode support Part 2 -- copytext()
This is the transition of all copytext() calls to be unicode aware and also some nearby calls in the same functions. Most things are just replacing copytext() with copytext_char() as a terrible character limiter but a few others were slightly more involved.
I replaced a ton of
````
var/something = sanitize(input())
something = copytext(something, 1, MAX_MESSAGE_LEN)
````
with a single stripped_input() call. stripped_input() already calls html_encode(), trim(), and some other sanitization so there shouldn't be any major issues there.
This is still VERY rough btw; DNA is a mess, the status displays are complete ass, there's a copytext() in code\datums\shuttles.dm that I'm not sure what to do with, and I didn't touch anything in the tools folder. I haven't tested this much at all yet, I only got it to compile earlier this morning. There's also likely to be weird bugs until I get around to fixing length(), findtext(), and the rest of the string procs.
* Makes the code functional
* Assume color hex strings are always # followed by ascii.
Properly encodes and decodes the stuff in mob_helpers.dm which fixes some issues there.
* Removes ninjaspeak since it's unused
* Reverts italics-span back to no color.
* Cleans up many extra spaces and indents.
* Adds 'hear' span class.
* Replaces all 'italics' used in heard messages with 'hear'.
About The Pull Request
Converts every single usage of playsound's vary parameter to use the boolean define instead of 1 or 0. I'm tired of people copypasting the incorrect usage.
Also changes a couple of places where a list was picked from instead of using get_sfx internal calls
This was done via regex:
(playsound\(.+,.+,.+, ?)1( ?\)| ?,.+\)) to match 1
(playsound\(.+,.+,.+, ?)0( ?\)| ?,.+\)) to match 0
full sed commands:
/(playsound\(.+,.+,.+, ?)1( ?\)| ?,.+\))/\1TRUE\2/ 1 to TRUE
/(playsound\(.+,.+,.+, ?)0( ?\)| ?,.+\))/\1FALSE\2/ 0 to FALSE
I'm not very good with regex and these could probably be optimized, but they worked.
Why It's Good For The Game
Code usability
🆑 coiax
add: Syndicate agents can purchase a "codespeak manual", that teaches
them a language that sounds like a series of codewords. You can also hit
other people with the manual to teach them. One use per manual.
add: Nuclear operatives have access to a deluxe manual that is more
expensive but has unlimited uses.
/🆑
- DNM until we have language icons
- Syndicate codespeak only displays the language icon if you KNOW the
language, so you cannot tell the difference between someone just
shouting random codewords on the radio, and someone actually using the
language.
- Modifies generate_code_phrase to optionally return a list of words,
rather than a preformatted string.
- Codespeak manuals turn into random books after being used.
