Testing has revealed that it reduces the sluggishness of the game, though it will spike from lag when the singularity is loose. Thanks to ChuckTheSheep for suggesting it.
Server owners who want to keep set background enabled can do so by changing the define.
* Refactored the code used in the ui_interact procs to be neater and easy to understand (also less code duplication). Updated all existing ui_interact procs to match.
* Rebuilt (and simplified) template rendering system, removed data-linking (the use of carets "^" in templates) and the need to send the full data structure every update (just send whatever you want now, it's fully dynamic). Updated all existing templates to match.
* Restructured HTML and JavaScript to increase compatibility with IE (this fixes "blank uis" for many users).
* Increased the number of error messages to help diagnose issues.
* Multiple performance improvements, especially when updating an open ui.
* Added the ability to update a ui for an individual user (nanomanager update_user_uis proc, used for things like realtime messages in Bay's PDA).
* Added a "Loading..." notice to the UI. If this stays then your JavaScript isn't enabled.
* Removed redundant wip apc.tmpl file.
* Added a link to the online docs in TemplatesGuide.txt.
*TABLEPASS was already totally obsolete.
FPRINT was used, but it was on virtually everything anyway.
Removes those flags from every instance where they were used. Also assigned and removed other flags where it made sense.
If it is desired, I can revive the flag as NOFPRINT, which would retain the original functionality, though inverted. That way it would be be used only where it was intentional (holodeck items could use this for example).
DNA scanner:
Laser quality lessens the irradiation
Manipulator quality drastically improves the precision(9 times with best
part)
Scanner quality allows to scan suiciders/ling husks, best part enables
cloner's autoprocess button, making it scan people in the scanner
automatically
Clone pod:
Manipulator quality improves the speed of cloning
Scanning module quality affects with how much health people will be
ejected, will they get negative mutation/no mutations/clean of all
mutations/random good mutation, at best quality will enable clone
console's autoprocess button and will try to clone all the dead people
in records automatically, together with best DNA scanner parts cloning
console will be able to work in full automatic regime autoscanning
people and autocloning them
Borg recharger:
Capacitors' quality and powercell max charge affect the speed at which
borgs recharge
Manipulator quality allows borg to be slowly repaired while inside the
recharges, best manipulator allows even fire damage to be slowly
repaired
Portable power generators:
Capacitors' quality produce more power
Better lasers consume less fuel and reduce heat production
PACMAN with best parts can keep whole station powered with about sheet
of plamsa per minute(approximately, wasnt potent enough to test)
Protolathe:
Manipulators quality affects the cost of things(they will also have less
m_amt and g_amt to prevent production of infinity metal), best
manipulators reduces the cost 5 times (!)
Imprinter:
Manipulator quality affects the cost, best manipulator reduce cost(acid
insluded) 4 times, i.e. 20 boards per 100 units of acid
Destructive analyzer:
Better parts allow items with less reliability in
Redone how reliability is handled, you now see item reliability in the
deconstruction menu and deconstructing items that has same or one point
less research type level will rise the reliability of all known designs
that has one or more research type requarements as the deconstructed
item
Designs of the same type raise in reliability more
Removed reliability_base and reliability_mod completely because they
served no purpose
Critically broken things rise reliability of the design drastically
Whole reliability system is not used a lot but now at least on the R&D
part it finally matters
Didnt touch telecomms machinery, R&D code is messy but tcomms is just
another level, im not high enough to touch it yet
Most of things except for pacman are tested ingame, no bugs/runtimes
detected
- Added more span tags
- using cable now uses use()
- fixed use() to correctly return 1 when it succeeds
- checked that there were no checks that would’ve been previously
borked. For testing purposes I renamed use to use_cable (‘use’ is kinda
bad for a proc name, but use_cable is hardly better), but left that out
of the commit because it would’ve inflated the pr.
AI can now anchor/unanchor itself. Goes with Malf AI pinpointer tracking once it activates Delta for balance reasons. Please review/merge if satisfying enough.
Pinpointer now points in the malf AI direction (so it won't track
innocent AIs), and follow it through shunting, or if it goes back to its
core after shunting.
Bloody hell was it a pain to just test that.
Added superclass invoke for the arcane tome
Added superclass invoke to light switches, removed it's (unused) description.
FLightswitch description repetition derp
examine superclass invoke for gas flow meter, space heater, fire extinguishers, grenades/IEDs, fancy boxes and welder. Changed description for welder and fire extinguisher to show their content in a similar style.
Fixed tank, linen bins and janicart description, and added welder of previous commit (forgot to commit it)
REMOVED icon in mop_bucket description (now provided by item class).
REMOVED unused examine() override in clothing/gloves
REMOVED custom examine() for glass/rag
CHANGED using examine superclass on paperwork/paperbin, removed redundant description code
CHANGED examine superclass for power/apc
ADDED universal maxcharge readout for all the powercell types.
CHANGED using examine superclass on machinery/light, removed redundant description code
FIXED weapon/virusdish use a description field.
TWEAK lowercased some of the portable generators.
Fixed improperness of pacman names
Diseases now have a requires and a required_limb variable
if requires is 1 then it will run a check for required_limb (WHICH USES TYPEPATHS)
Reverts a turret change that git through into the pull for some reason
added some feedback messages in certain places
removed the hulk-like snowflake check that was really crappy anyways
Reworked a part of surgery/surgery_step.dm to use a switch
Hey @Cheridan NO ISTYPES! :D
Ugh.. I mean "Removes" 10 totally unnecessary istypes
Fixes the healing of robotic limbs so that the message actually doesn't display now.
Credit to ACCount12 for digging around and finding some nifty code
that my brain never thought of
Functionality
========
*Cables can now be placed across each other and not connect, just like cables placed in the map editor.
*Alternately by leaving a "node" or "dot" in both cables you can have these cables connect
Bugs Fixed
=======
*Unconnected cable networks which share the same powernet and power are no longer created when adding cable to nodes or removing nodes on top of smooth cable
Code changes:
==========
*Adds denode proc that should be called when a wire is added to causing it to no longer be a "node" (i.e. terminates in the centre of the turf)
*Adds propagate_network proc that traverses the graph adding every cable to a new network while removing the old one
*Adds call to denode in the cable_join proc
*Fixes mergeConnectedNetworksOnTurf() to only connect cables that are both nodes
*Adds a get_marked_connections() proc to cable which finds all edges connected to it's endpoints regardless of whether they have a powernet(as opposed to get_connections())
Cybernetic limbs
Multi-location operations
Limbs have sprites now (They never dropped before so it was irrelevant)
No Organic healing of Robotic limbs (But the message is still there, fixing soon)
No "organic" diseases in Robotic areas
No more operations in robotic areas - Cheer's Pete for the surgery system being so nice
Healing Robotic limbs with welders (brute) and cable (burn)
Probably other things I forget
Field generators, that are active, will now shock you; they did before but it was because of the containment field near it.
Changed the type path of the field generator and containment field:
/obj/machinery/field_generator -> /obj/machinery/field/generator
/obj/machinery/containment_field -> /obj/machinery/field/containment
Changed the map to have the new type paths.
The containment field will now shock you when it is created.
The containment field layer is a little above objects, so objects going through are under the field icon.
Cleaned up a bit of the code.
