spawns have a high overhead.
I only went for easy targets, almost every spawn could be removed with a few subsystems in place to handle delays or cooldowns
We now write frontend code in Coffeescript, alongside our LESS.
PostCSS adds hacks to make CSS work on old versions of IE.
Bower is used to manage dependencies.
Gulp is used to build the code.
Images are dropped in favor of SVG or CSS effects.
NanoUI is now a 'simple' asset in the asset_cache
Cult is awful, so let's try to improve it. Idea by KorPhaeron. I also
took some inspiration from adrix89's sacrifice cult, so credits to him.
Also thanks a lot specially to MrPerson and Iamgoofball for helping
me brainstorm this, and Joan for the sprites for the summoning orb,
the large nar-sie shell, and the new cult antag hud.
Basically, we remove conversion, and turn cult into a magic version of
nuke, with a small team of stealth elite cultists that have to build a
base in the station and sacrifice people in order to build an army of
constructs and get materials to eventually summon Nar-Sie.
Stun talismans and conversion are gone. Nar-Sie is now the only
objective. Sacrifice runes now provide summoning orbs, which you can use
to drop a large shell. Insert enough orbs in the shell and you trigger a
Delta. Defend the shell for 3 minutes and Nar-sie will arise. This shell
is bombproof and singularityproof. It may be summoned up to three times
if destroyed, but you will have to start from the beginning sac-wise.
Runes are now RNG. Each cultist only gets 50% of the runes. Inspiration
is basically The Binding of Isaac here (thank you MrPerson for this!).
Furthermore, many old runes were merged/removed and other new ones were
added. Almost all were massively rebalanced. Cult now also has a
stealthy ritual dagger with high bleeding and throw effects.
Clients now cache their jobbans to save on DB queries.
Legacy jobbans and "new" (savefile) jobbans have been removed.
These are old cruft that has been unused for years, and since we require
a DB for notes anyway we might as well just get rid of the legacy stuff.
I considered removing legacy bans as well, but I was unsure if that
would go way beyond the scope of this PR (my main goal here is making
jobban_isbanned not awful).
Also note that this was basically untested, as I do not have a test
database. Any help testing this would be much appreciated.
