MC:
No longer tracks a subsystem's cpu usage. This was basically worthless and took up space on the stat panel
Can calculate wait down to a tenth of a decisecond to make it fps/world.ticklag agnostic
Now allows subsystems to have a dynamic wait, that is based on a ratio of how long that subsystem has been taking to process(cost). (This system allows for upper and lower bounds, and an changeable cost delta for each subsystem)
MC can now be told to init a zlevel
All Subsystems:
Stats panel now allows child subsystems to pass it a message to add to its stats entry. All subsystems have been moved over to this system - This should cut down on subsystems having to copy and paste the stats proc in order to add to it
All subsystems now properlly handle being given a zlevel in their init proc
Subsystem changes:
Air:
Added air to the dynamic wait subsystem. upper bound: 50, lower bound: 5, cost delta: 3 times process cost
Air now fires 4 times faster when it can do so without lagging things up
Pipenet has been merged into air
Atmos machinery now processes with process_atmos(), ticked by air, not machinery.
Hotspots (the fire object) are now object pooled
Pipenet:
Deleted, added to air
Machinery:
Moved all atmos calcualtions in all objects's process() to process_atmos().
Lighting:
Added Lighting to the dynamic wait subsystem. upper bound: 20, lower bound: 5, cost delta: 3 times process cost
Ticker:
Fixed ticker not updating the lobby panel when game start delayed
Fixed the game start timer updating rapidly from queued fires when game start delay is removed
Garbage/qdel:
qdel will now limit its process time to 2ds a fire.
qdel can now be given hints as a return to Destroy() as to what should be done with the object.
the options are:
queue: (default) this is the normal behavior.
letmelive: old default to non-null/zero. does nothing with the object
iwillgc: functionally the same as above, mainly to let people working with objects know that the object will not be queued for GC checking
harddel: this will queue the object to be deleted without storing a soft reference, mainly to save locate() processing time.
harddel_now: this will del() the object. To allow for a clean removal of every del() not in qdel
All objects have been updated to the new system, harddel and iwillgc was not added to any new objects.
Fixed some objects not GCing because they didn't properlly clear references in Destory()
Fixed some objects getting qdel'ed preventing other objects from getting GCed because they did not null their reference to that object.
-SPRITES SPRITES SPRITES
-Hopefully fixes create_antag and team problems
-Fixes the Inactive Eye on follow list
-Removes redundant and adds needed checks
-Neater adv camera code
-Minor balance tweaks
-Fixes instant first activation of glands
-Adds 3 mostly negative glands
-Adds anti-tracking helmet to agent equipment
-Makes experimental dissection ignore clothes
-Way out for trapped humans : Mash random buttons
-Abductors now virus immune (also golems and skeletons)
-File cleanup
-Teleporter functionality for camera
sets every instance of race changes to use hardset_dna instead of directly replacing the datum (needs more testing to be sure I didn't break shit)
removes the invisible man race (aka the generic) and shadowlings from the new green slime mutation toxin while I'm in the area
**Major Changes**
- Increased win condition to require 66%
- Added a switchblade. A relatively cheap and decently robust melee weapon for gangsters.
- Capped how much influence you can get every income at 50
- Limited gang spraycan use to 15
- Pistol cost increased to 30 Influence
- Promotion cost now scales to how many bosses you already have. The more bosses, the more expensive it will be. It starts off cheap at 20 influence now.
**Minor Changes**
- Tagging a territory now tells you what territory you actually tagged!
- Added an option to silence the verbose territorial updates you get from gangtools
- Capped how much influence you can get every income at 50
- Updated Centcom report on gangs
- Spraycans always show their inhands now, instead of only when uncapped
- Antag panel now shows how much influence each gang has
- Cleaned up gang code in the traitor panel
- Fixed non-gangers getting gang messages when trying to spray on an invalid territory
The coding isn't done yet, but the design is. So comment on the design while I smooth out the code.
tldr; Gang mode rewrite to follow my original vision: Slower and longer rounds with less deathmatching, and a resource both teams have to fight over
NEW OBJECTIVE: CLAIM HALF THE STATION AS TERRITORY
- Gang bosses can spawn special spray cans that can be used to tag areas
- Any gang member can tag areas.
- Gang tags must be removed before another one is placed in the same area
- Game mode no longer automatically ends when the boss dies. It now ends when either the station evacs, or one gang claims more than 50% of the station areas
- Boss can promote gangers into his lieutenants, which basically means adding more bosses
- Lieutenants can do anything bosses can except promote others to lieutenant
NEW RECRUITMENT TOOL: PENS
- Recruitment pens replace flashes
- Looks exactly like a pen. Stab people to recruit them.
- Recruitment is silent but obvious to the perceptive (Causes a brief seizure)
- Cooldown between uses that gets longer as the gang gets larger
NEW TOOL: GANGTOOL
- Replaces the recaller device. Can still recall the shuttle.
- Provides overview information about the gang (membership size, income amount and time)
- Can spawn pistols and ammo
- Can spawn additional recruitment pens
- Can spawn additional gangtools (For personal use, or promoting a single ganger to lieutenant)
NEW CURRENCY SYSTEM: NAME IS WIP
- Gangtools purchase items with new currency with the placeholder name "Supply Points (SP)"
- Supply points are collected every 5 minutes. The more territory a gang has claimed, the more points they get.
- Supply points are accumulated per-gang. Having more gangtools does not intrinsically give you more points to use.

Assuming the user has a modern version of IE installed, this allows access to supported CSS 3 elements that we currently can't use. Visually everything seems to remain the same.
Tried doing this with nano and it stopped working for me. Since I know jack all about how nano works, it stays as-is for now.
This excludes certain uplink items that can be purchased during gang mode. Most notably emags (OP with borgs), space suits (No hiding), chameleon projector (No hiding), the singularity beacon and certain spy-like weapons (Not appropriate).
But this also allows gang bosses to purchase items that were formerly only available to nuke ops, such as their weapons.
