Misc:
+Fixes unreported issue with initializing lighting on a specific zlevel
+Fixes two similar issues with moveElement and moveRange. Where fromIndex or toIndex could be adjusted incorrectly in certain conditions. Potentially causing bad-sorts, or out of bound errors.
+Rewrites listclearnulls(list/L) to no longer iterate through L.len elements for every null in the list (plus 1). i.e. went from L.len*(number_of_nulls+1) list-element reads (best-case), to L.len list-element reads (worst-case)
+New proc/getElementByVar(list/L, varname, value) which finds the first datum in a list, with a variable named varname, which equals value. You can also feed it atoms instead of lists due to the way the in operator functions.
+Fixes an unreported issue with Yota's list2text rewrite. Under certain conditions, the first element would not be converted into a string. Causing type-mismatch runtimes.
+New global map_ready variable. This is not fully implemented yet, but will be used to avoid duplicate calls to initialize() for map objects.
+All turfs now maintain references to all lights currently illuminating them. This will mean higher memory use unfortunately, due to the huge number of turfs. However, it will speed up updateAffectingLights significantly. I've used list husbandry to reduce baseline memory usage, so it shouldn't be any worse than some past atmos modifications memory-wise.
-Removed 'quadratic lighting', can add this back at some point. Sorry.
+modified the way lum() works slightly, to allow turfs to have overridden delta-lumen. i.e. space cannot be illuminated more than its default ambiance. This allowed removal of some iffy special-snowflake lighting areas implemented by somebody else.
+Lighting images in the dmi can now use arbitrary naming schemes. It is reliant on order now. This allows the dmi to be replaced by simply dropping in a new dmi.
-Removed all subtypes of /area/shuttle. Shuttles now create duplicate 'rooms' of /area/shuttle. (More on this later). This will conflict with most maps. Guide on how to fix to follow.
+All verbs/tools relating to world.tick_lag were refactored to use world.fps. However old config text for setting tick_lag will still work (it converts the value to fps for you)
+MC stats improved using smoothing. They now have their own tab so they dont get in the way when you're playing as an admin.
-removed the push_mob_back stuff due to conflicting changes. Sorry Giacom.
_OK, NOW THE ACTUAL INTERESTING STUFF_
Following systems moved over to subsystem datums:
air_master
garbage_manager
lighting_controller
process_mobs (aka Life())
nanomanager
power
sun
pipenets
AFK kick loops
shuttle_controller (aka emergency shuttle/pods), supply_shuttle and other shuttles
voting
bots
radio
diseases
events
jobs
objects
ticker
Subsystems hooks and variables should be commented fairly in-depth. If anything isn't particularly clear, please make an issue.
Many system-specific global variables have been refactored into
All tickers which previously used world.timeofday now use world.time
some subsystems can iterate before round start. this resolves the issue with votes not working pregame
Converts the nearly useless List Free Slots command to Manage Free Slots
From here you can painlessly add and remove job slots to your hearts content because the HoP is Dead/Shit/AFK/In Hiding
It can't be used before round start to make rounds with only clowns because of jobs.txt being applied at round start. Alas.
- Emergency shuttle call/recall announcements will say when a tracing attempt has been successful, as well as explicitly telling players how to view them
- Clarified language further on how emergency shuttle tracing is done
- Increased tracing success rate from 60% to 70%
- Removed a lot of duplicated code by moving all the priority_announce() calls to incall()
-Centcom announcement proc merged with generic priority announcement proc
-Re-added the Captain Announces accompanied by a new pleasant sound, instead of the generic priority announcement
-Captain Announcements will automatically generate a newscaster article
-Priority announcements without any defined accompanying sound will play a generic "Attention" soundbyte as an audio cue
-Communications consoles will display who is currently logged in
Works pretty well. If it can't GC something, it'll just del() it and be done.
Speed is amazing, holy shit.
New procs you should be aware of:
qdel(atom/movable) - sets up an object for garbage collection. Call this rather than del(atom/movable).
atom/movable/Destroy() - called right before the object is GC'd, so it still has a loc. Also called if the object is del()'d.
new controller - garbage.dm has all the details on this. Basically it nulls all references on GC'd objects and force del() them if necessary.
Generally speaking, objects should use Destroy() for behavior prior to deletion rather than Del(). You should also always call the parent so the object gets the right gc_destroyed var set.
ISSUES:
Tries to GC mobs atm. This actually works for new players, not so much for humans/monkies/simple_animals/anything. I'm guessing it needs to clear out their mind and HUD and maybe other things.
Gibbing is really bugged. It works, but the overlays just sit there for awhile and ugh. I'm very tempted just to del() mob/living and mob/camera and call it a day.
qdel() equipment doesn't unequip the item.
Pipes don't generally GC correctly. Debugging suggests they get referenced in many pipenets and that isn't cleared properly. However some do work fine. Need assistance here.
Bots don't GC, probably in the radio controller.
Lots of other shit doesn't GC but it's hard to find them because of the pipe spam.
I think I'm calling Destroy() twice by accident.
Adds a cap for flame_range in global.dm
Added a flame_range for syndibombs, syndieminibombs, Wizard's fireball, fuel tank explosions, and meteors.
Adds firesuit level temperature protection to the wizard hardsuit for safety from your own fireballs setting you ablaze
Adds ExtinguishMob() for Ethereal Jaunt to make wizards a little less vulnerable to fire
It will search list/L for a /datum/data/record with fields[field] == value, and return it.
This removes a vast amount of copypasta (there's still so much left in there though). It also removes all the locate(\ref[record]) I could find, which were normal used with topic(), meaning it was susceptible to abuse.
Secbots, ed209s and turrets are now smarter with their record-checks. They now prefer to use our face-name rather than id-name. ICly, this is the bot using facial recognition. This fixes an issue where it'd try to use the name variable which could be in the format "Unknown (as their id name)" when they were disfigured, etc. causing record-lookup to fail.
Additionally, these bots will treat those without a valid record in the security database, to be treated like criminals.
-Turns out there was already a Gaussian PRNG proc already, used by mechs and turrets. I've replaced it with my one as mine has almost half the cost. (currently broken! still waiting for fixes to be pulled!)
-replaced between(min, val, max) with Clamp(val, min, max)
-get_turf(thing) now uses var/list/locs to locate its turf, rather than iterating up through loc of its loc of its loc...etc
-sign(num) moved to maths.dm
-InRange(val, min, max) replaced with IsInRange(val, min, max) (they were identical)
-Removed ismultitool() iswrench() iscoil() iswire() iswelder() iscrowbar() etc
-removed modulus(num) as abs() performs the same task! *roll-eyes*
-removed get_mob_with_client_list() as it is no longer needed (we have var/list/player_list now)
-removed get_turf_or_move() as it simply called get_turf
-removed get_turf_loc() as it was identical to get_turf()
*Additions:*
-The "Declare Ready" link in the lobby will automatically become "Join Game" if the round starts before you declare ready, so you don't have to click it twice
DNA modification uses normally distributed random numbers. Radiation strength dictates the standard deviation of the change in the hex character which is hit (higher output means greater chance for a large change) . Similarly, radiation duration dictates how likely we are to hit the hex-character we clicked on (longer duration means more likely to hit). Irradiation is strength*duration. All balancing is done via multiplier defines so you can rebalance it easily.
DNA blocks and structuring all use defines. Making modification/expansion easier. I'll likely expand this into a datum-based system to allow more interesting features, reduce code further and allow admins to interact with the way dna strings behave.
DNA strings can be spliced together using merge_text().
e.g. string 1: "Hello World"
string 2: "Seeya______"
result: "Seeya World"
This isn't used except for admin-spawnable SE injectors at the moment.
r_hair, g_hair, b_hair, r_facial, g_facial, b_facial, r_eyes, g_eyes, b_eyes were removed and made into 3 short hex-colors.
Skin tones now support colours other than shades of brown. I've had to restrict it heavily until other stuff is done. Skin tones include Albino Caucasian, Oriental, Mediterranean, etc.
Data disks and DNA injectors were reworked to use associative lists so transferring data is just a matter of doing list.Copy()
var/dna is now defined at /mob/living/carbon level. Only monkeys and humans may have dna currently. Support is there for all carbon-based lifeforms to have dna.
DNA modifier console has almost all controls on one screen.
UIs and UEs can be injected separately (appearance and name, respectively)
dna helper procs like ready_dna() and such were changed to make them more versatile. There is now a hardset_dna() proc as an alternative to ready_dna which can initialize dna with properties passed into it or update an existing dna string (useful for cloning and antag spawning)
Every block of SEs are in randomised positions.
Disabled automatic logging of world.log, as it produced undesirable behaviour.
Mr Muggles and God Emperor of Mankind disks removed.
Floor() removed. (it was completely uneccesary, that is what round() is).
Fixed spelling mistakes in modularchangling.dm (thanks tenebrosity)
Tanning removed from beaches (again)
Experimental: monkeys and humans do not have dna until first attempt to read dna (using check_dna_integrity(mob))
This is mainly due to the way everything is hardcoded into New().
Changelog.html updated

Removed overriding of event values via feeding in an associative list into datum/round_event/New(). Instead you can do basic initializations (i.e. feed it constants) by doing new /datum/round_event{variablename=5;}(). This method is handled well by the compiler (it's the same method the maps use), so it will detect unrecognized variablenames etc.
More complex initializations for post setup() stuff can be done by accessing variables directly Event.variablename = whatever;
round_events now have a processing variable, which effectively pauses them.
People may select any underwear (regardless of gender) at a dresser, but not in preferences.
random_underwear(gender) will return a random pair of underwear suitable for your gender.
Removed an unused variable in sprite_accessory
The new_player preferences screen now randomizes character slots for which there is no data (so no more bald, fat, white guys in diapers greeting new players)
datum/preferences character settings are randomised at New().
replaced /datum/preferences/proc/randomize_appearance_for(human/H) with /datum/preferences/proc/random_character(), it does the same stuff without the copying to a mob. Basically, now when you want to make a random character you just do var/datum/preferences/A = new(); A.copy_to(human_mob), randomisation of appearance and name will already be done. Easy.
Reworked the savefile updating/versioning code to make it easier to work with. I've used it to update underwear preferences to the new system as an example.

Removed the administration shuttle and the stupid alien dinghy.
Removed the beach (hey, it's an away mission now).
Removed syndicate deathsquads on account of them being stupid and redundant.
Temporarily removed regular deathsquads- search for "DEATH SQUADS" to find the locations to uncomment. Additional code is in unused/specops.dm and unused/specops_shuttle.dm.
Added a single tile fake window for unsim windows.

Ported all the random events to Pete/Gia's event system:
>Event system now supports weighting. default is 10. a weight of 5 is half as likely as default, 20 twice as likely....etc.
>Increased the frequency of events (dust happens over 60% of the time though)
>tidied up some ninja code: ninjas now get ~5 objectives. So they are hardmode.
>made the gravity toggle into a random event
>event system now supports round-start events
>event system now supports holiday events
>event system now supports events which can only happen after the round has lasted a certain number of ticks
>event system now supports max_occurrences for events. Setting any event's max_occurrences to 0 will stop it randomly occurring
>events now support being fed associative lists inside new(). This allows you to override their variables easily.
>wormhole events no longer cause loads of lag. They are extremely deadly. wormholes should be avoided
Other:
>replaced the procs for fetching candidates for ninjas and aliums with /proc/get_candidates(be_special_flag), it returns a list of active clients with that be_special preference enabled.
>minor fixes to minds
>your memories are displayed to you at Login()
>removed aliens_allowed
>removed ninjas_allowed
>pick_n_take() is now more efficient (uses Cut() rather than Remove()
Things I added:
- Made the pandemic call ..() instead of doing the checks itself.
- Made the staff of animation use more charge.

Removed var/constant/Pi It's already defined in setup.dm
Moved a bunch of global_lists to global_lists.dm
Fixed hair randomisation. (still bits to do)
Moved a lot of preferences_setup.dm stuff into __HELPERS/mobs.dm They'll be FAR more helpful as generic procs, rather than something tied to preferences.
Merged mob/var/nopush into status_flags with the CANPUSH flag
Merged mob/var/nodamage into status_flags with the GODMODE flag
Removed mob/var/be_syndicate and mob/var/be_random_name as they are not used.
Added /proc/ui_style2icon(ui_style) proc. It converts a string like "Midnight" into its corresponding dmi file. The code fore creating a new hud uses it.

Likewise, removed the spawn_xeno verb and made an equivalent bit of code in the FUN section of the secrets panel.
Fixed the create_xeno proc. It was supposed to ask you which type of alien to spawn but it was sending the popup to src, which should have been usr.
Create_xeno can now spawn queens and larva.
Create_xeno is fed a ckey (optional) rather than a ghost mob. Which will make it more versatile and reliable should clients log out during popups and such.
Created an client.is_afk(duration) proc. If the client has been inactive for duration frames (11 frames is roughly 1 second), it will return the number of frames it has been inactive. Otherwise it returns 0. If no duration value is given it defults to 3000 which is roughly 5 minutes. There's a bunch of code I need to replace with this which I will do after I've got the rest of the admin rank stuff finished as that takes priority.
