- Replacing some "for(var/mob/o in viewers()) show_message()" by "visible_message()".
- Replacing some "show_message()" by " << "..." " instead.
- Fixes being able to see the results of the health and slime analyzers while blind.

Adds crew monitor to the asset cache system
Adds paper to the asset cache system
Added a way to send files to the client slowly without clogging up the queue. (This isn't technically "safe", but the client would only have issues if they didn't have that file already (rare), and only if they used a window that needed that asset (currently only nanoui windows) within the first 15 to 90 seconds of connecting (depending on ping))
Makes NanoUI use this slow send system to blindly send it's asset files. (Once bay's nanoui is ported, i'll improve this so that nanoui fully implements asset cache checking)
Makes asset cache use this system to send all registered asset files, so that ui windows don't have to wait for them if the client's been connected a while.
Byond will queue all browse(), browse_rsc(), and winset() calls to the client, to ensure they load in order, and ensure any resources from a browse_rsc call (css/html/js) are already at the client by the time any html windows loads.
How ever, each file is processed separately, and byond will wait for the reply from the client before it will send the next file.
Our current system sends all of these html resource files to the client at once when they connect, this is the sole cause of the lag when a client connects. Byond will not send the client a file it already has, but it has to ask the client first, and it does so one file at a time, waiting for a reply from the client before sending the next one down the pipe.
This system fixes that.
Basically it works like this:
Client connects: nothing happens, no massive queuing of browse_rsc() calls, so no interface delay
Client opens a asset_cache controlled html based interface
Asset cache gets notified by the html based interface what assets the client needs to have.
Asset cache checks to see if it's sent that client those files.
Asset cache sends the missing ones, adding them to the list of assets the client has.
This basically spreads out the delay to when you first open a window that uses resources, where it is much more manageable.
I've kinda done a halfass port without too much thought, I see some room for improvement to better fit /tg/'s coding style and make the system more flexible. I'm PRing this because if I don't, it will never get finished.
PDAs and html_interface has been imported in to the new system lazily to test. at 100ms connection start interface lag went from 35 seconds to 16 seconds. Nanoui hasn't been imported, and once it is, that should drop down to almost nothing.
I'll work on this some more after some sleep.
changed the values so the equipment effect stays the same. Remove global_iterator datum.
- fiddled with equip_ready procs of mech tools.
- removed mecha/proc/do_after and /enter_after() procs.
- Renamed mech sleeper occupant var to "patient" to avoid confusion with the occupant of the mech.
- all non instant tool (drill) now show a progbar when drilling etc..
- action cooldown now use do_after_cooldown() (that itself uses do_after) and start_cooldown (for instantaneous actions).
- Removed mecha_equipment's destroy proc, it's now all in Destroy(). No confusion.
- modified mecha_equipment/proc/can_attach() to not check istype(mecha) b/c it can't not be. (so the child only have one istype check.
- Removed diamonddrill/can_attach() , all done at drill level.
- armor booster now only for combat mech, instead of all except honkmech.
- Removed dynhitby, dynbulletdamage, dynattackby, dynusepower(), dyngetcharge(), dynabsorbdamage()
- I split the tools.dm file into smaller ones: work tools, mining tools, other tools.
- I split mecha.dm into mecha.dm, mecha_topic.dm and mecha_defense.dm
- refactored mech weapon ballistic/launcher, new proj_init proc, more OOP.
- Moving consumes energy! Lights consumes energy. Fixes#9425.
- Fixed#7354 xeno not bursting if host is inside a mech.
- Added action buttons to mech. Moved toggle lights, internal tank, eject, view stats from verbs to action buttons, these can now only
be done via these buttons (removed them from the big stats window).
- Removed port connect verbs b/C it's automated now.
- regular hud is no longer hidden when inside a mech (doesn't matter b/c you can't interact with most stuff in it while in a mecha). Fixes issue 10387
- can't walk when shooting projectiles. Makes walking on your projectile a bit harder. Helps against issue 10315 (but doesn't fix it).
- also made into action buttons: the special abilities of certain combat mechs.
- Added thrown alerts for mech charge and integrity.
- Fixes teleporting occupant out not properly removing it from the mech. Fixes issue 10330
- fixes ballistic mech weapons spinning when launched. proc/throw_at() now has a spin argument instead of using var/allow_spin that was added to all atoms just for that.
- added a update_action_buttons() to ai/life() to handle ai mech.
