"bun" is flatter, has an antenna that blinks in agony
add: Amount of goliath plates is now shown in examine for explorer suits and mining hardsuits.
I was peeved by being unable to tell whether the armour is upgraded or not except by trying to stick more plates on it.
I think a more correct way would be to add a plate amount var to these items similarly to APLU plating and then have description mention their amount and, for added transparency, that it's possible to improve it if there's 0 plates.
Please point the errors/wrongs in it, since "current armour value minus constant divided by value each plate adds" is rather clunky code.
The total number of assets to be sent has been reduced from 1532 to 76, with time between first asset and last going from about 112s to about 7s (a 93% reduction) by my measure. The following assets have been coalesced:
705 pipe images (used by RPD) -> 1 spritesheet + css
595 research design icons (used by R&D console) -> 3 spritesheets + css
116 OOC emoji + 15 language icons -> 1 spritesheet + css
27 PDA icons -> 1 spritesheet + css
11 paperwork stamps -> 1 spritesheet + css
No ingame changelog cause these are supposed to fool people.
Changes:
Hallucinations now pick from a single weighted list, instead of being separated in tiers. The more obvious a hallucinations, the less likely it is to appear.
Hallucination is now a contantly ticking down variable. 1 hallucination = 2 seconds duration. Hallucinating effects have been rebalanced to fit this.
Hallucinations have a random cooldown ranging from 10 to 60 seconds. The status will still tick down in the meantime.
The Sounds hallucinations has been split in three: realistic sounds (likely), weird sounds (rare), and station messages (i.e. the shuttle arrived, blob warning, etc.)(also rare).
The Bolts hallucination now stops you from bumping doors open. You can still click them to open them.
Removed the singulo hallucination. It's pretty much impossible to make it realistic enough, and it's too widely known to scare someone. It's an annoyance and a definite tell that you're hallucinating.
Removed the xeno attack for the same reasons. It was kept in the code to serve as a pseudotemplate for hallucination mobs.
Removed the fake attacker hallucination. Trying to replicate full attack and defense code as well as managing icon generation with blacklists and all is just not worth it. It would never be realistic enough.
RDS hallucinations have been either rolled into normal ones or removed (the OOC ones). No reason to keep them separate, aside from throwing off the hallucination odds (which has resulted in complaints about the cult victory warning being too common).
Added/edited a lot of strings for the text-based hallucinations. I could definitely use a few more for the message hallucination, i got writer's block there.
This is very similar to the Italian Moustache, but it's a beret. This will be part of a series of language items. Happy to entertain suggestions as to whether it should be a roundstart item or randomly scattered about maint/cargo crate restricted. In the spirit of atomizing PRs, this one will just be for the French Beret.
Ready for merge.
Why: Anomaly cores have few uses, science could use something combat related as a bribe for RnD now that they dont get any guns, and I want to see engineering pushing the engine towards near meltdown to try and harvest anomalies (would obviously need a way to make those capturable though).
I dont know where to put the node in the "web" really, so suggestions are welcome.
The reactive armour shell accepts anomaly cores to build various armours as follows
Flux - Tesla armour
Pyro - Fire armour
Gravity - Repulse armour (new in this PR)
Bluespace - Teleport Armour
Everything else - Defaults to stealth armour as a fallback
