There is now a PRELOAD_RSC define in code/_compile_options.dm. Setting it to 0 will allow you to use on-the-fly rsc downloads, or the new remote rsc features.
Normally (PRELOAD_RSC == 1) the game will send you all the resources for the game that existed at compile time, this is the long-delay before joining the game...but it means that the game isn't sluggish later on due to trying to download icons and such. Which is good, but uses a lot of bandwidth.
On-the-fly behaviour (PRELOAD_RSC == 0) is when the game only downloads icons when you see something for the first time...this is often responsible for things being briefly invisible on slow connections.
Remote RSC behaviour (PRELOAD_RSC == 0 and some urls defined in config/external_rsc_urls.txt), is a mixture of the two above behaviours. It allows you to connect without downloading lots of resources immediately. However, once you connect it will select a url from a list of urls which hold zipped up copies of the tgstation.rsc. This allows the load of downloading those large files to be distributed across a few cheap web-servers or free upload sites...whilst the main game-server is freed up for other stuff. Should preloading from a remote url fail, behavior will revert to on-the-fly.
ghost_form is now saved with other preferences.
Public visibility of memberships is toggable and saved with other preferences.
ooc-colors for admins and members are now sanitized. Bright colours like Yellow, white and baby-blue will be darkened for the sake of legibility.
Related to above - added helper procs to convert between RGB and HSL colour models.
Admins cannot modify var/unlock_content without +DEBUG rights. unlock_content moved from client into prefs.
Player savefile version number updated - this will trigger savefile updates, no data should be lost.
Resolves an issue where whitespace in names could cause a saveslot button to wrap to the next line.
Byond members:
can colour their name using the admin ooc-colour feature.
get a icon next to their name in ooc chat.
can choose their icon_state as a ghost.
get 8 saveslots
unlock_content tracks the return of IsByondMember(). This is to allow for easier testing/debug.
Toggling these preferences in-game will update your savefile. Meaning that your preferences will persist between rounds.
Added some savefile_version updating stuff. It's pretty crude. If you're changing any of the savefile stuff just ask and I can change it/help.
Removed some unused client vars
Ghosts no longer hear ambience. Simplified ambience code.
Simplified lobby music code. It will no longer cause a massive queue of events (which would eventually balloon in memory use)
Moved ooccolor and sound_adminhelp back to prefs. It's easier and allowed me to remove the setupclient() stuff completely.

The number of strikes a person gets is a define so hosts can modify it to their liking (I should probably move this to a config option but I can't be bothered to test it again). It defaults to 3 strikes, on the third strike you're out. It'll autoban you for 10 minutes.

They include such procs as sanitize_integer(num, min, max, default) which will check num is a number, round num to make it an integer, then check if it is between min and max (inclusive). If it fails the bound-checks it will return default. There are others, have a look.
PERSISTENT PREFERENCES: Every ckey which connects to the game gets its own persistent /datum/preferences datum.
It is archived in var/list/preferences_datums = list("ckey" = datum)
At connect it is automatically associated with the client defines.dm (or a new one is created if it can't find an archived prefs datum). This means clients will ALWAYS have a var/datum/preferences/prefs which references this datum. So you can use it without checking if(client.prefs)
This has simplified only a few bits of code. It will however, allow us to make preferences like see_deadchat ghost_ears etc, persistent. So they will not reset when you DC.
SAVEFILES: Changed the player savefile code a lot. Hopefully I've not fucked it up too much. Every single variable loaded from saves is now sanity checked using the new sanity procs. This should help prevent savefiles becomming obsolete by sanitizing input to meet current requirements, without deleting all the ok variables and making you start from scratch >_> NOTE: I still need to sort out the savefile version stuff. I'll probably figure it out before the server updates anyway. It sees to be fine without it.
You can no longer choose your blood type. It is randomised (with each bloodtype having a realistic probability of occuring). This is to make blood analysis (detective/medical) less pointless. It is chosen as soon as you connect. It remains persistent throughout each round so you won't be able to change it by logging in/out over and over.
Replaces some copypasta code with is_afk() (still a fair bit to do)
There are new hyperlink shortcut things. _src_=vars will direct your hyperlink to viewvars. _src_=prefs to your preferences datum. (These are the only way to access those bits of code via links). This means that the overall amount of operations in almost every Topic has pretty much halved and is much prettier.
Replaced and removed adminplayervars from datum/admins/Topic. It was superfluous. They now all point directly to the viewvars code using _src_=vars
Removed the changelog popup at round start. Instead a button on your game-window will glow white if there are new updates. To peruse at your convenience. This will speed up connect times.
Removed the AFK_THRESHOLD define. It is integrated into is_afk() now.
TODO: remove the prefs stuff from mobs and clients and update code to use client.prefs to access that info.

Moved fun (admin-event stuff) up to badmin rank.
deadchat visibility defaults to on
removed update_admin()
fixed associate so it won't accidentally add people to the admins list multiple times.
toggling ooc on/off is now available to any admin regardless of rights.
mass deletion is now restricted to DEBUG or SERVER flags
ADMIN, SERVER, DEBUG can all use the delete verb

- Fixed pulse rifle, energy sword, blackhole and mob spawning
- Fixed 'reload admins' not properly updating the 'admins' list, which made adminwho fail, along with some other things.
- Fixed a bug, which prevented admin from even being loaded properly in some circumstances, in the database admin system.

Added a activate held item hotkey
Added intent hotkeys to 1 2 3 and 4 keys.
hotkeys-help for details.

Added a config option config.automute_on It toggles automuting.
Admins cannot be muted.
Made the proc/cmd_admin_mute code shorter.
Automuting defaults to off

/obj/admins is now /datum/admins because that's what datums are for you silly people
Moved var/datum/marked_datum from /obj/ to /datum/admins
admin datums are persistent throughout the round. They are stored in the var/list/admins rather than the ranks. This is so admin preferences may be moved into the datum to have them persist even after Login/Logout/Disconnects.

Removed all the voting-related adminverbs. It's all built into ooc vote verb.
Admins can now make custom votes for literally anything.
If a vote draws it will pick one of the winners at random.

Since the preference files are now numbered and named differently I made it detect old saves, when a player loads a save file, so it can rename it. Basically, everything should be saved still.
Character Setup UI change. I changed the layout of the character screen to not require scrolling.

I've made the limit variable in the All-In-One grinder actually do something.

- Added channel-specific admin muting. Admins can now mute someone from IC (say, me and whisper), OOC, PRAY, ADMINHELP (adminhelp, admin pm and asay) and DEADCHAT (say while dead and dsay)
- Added a (?) to adminhelps and prayers which displays the same quick overview that all the other (?)-s show, but for the person adminhelping or praying.

Tidied up the Login and Logout procs for mobs. Moved the sandbox buildmode stuff to mob/living/login.dm so you shouldn't have to log-out and back in to enable build mode.
Removed the logged_in variable for mobs as it was the most pointless thing ever.
Made the multikeying checks a separate proc. People are checked the second they get a new_player mob. Its notices are also less spammy.
Changed AllowUpload from the default. It now restricts uploads of over 1Mb to prevent admins uploading massive .Oggs and lagging the server to hell whilst it sends the ogg to 40+ players. Feel free to change the limit.
Moved some of the core client procs into one folder; they should really be together and not in /modules/mob/mob.dm and various other places. I will be giving the client stuff a belated spring-clean over the next few commits, just got to iron out some of the kinks.
