Topics are no longer limited to once per 2ds per client.
This massively improves responsiveness by no dropping clicks when trying to browse thru menus.
Anything that could cause lag or otherwise be limited should do that in its own topic, not blog down the rest
Please let me know if you can think of anything that should be limited in this PR otherwise, i say we find out by field testing.
- Uncommented all stuff that was commented in the last commit.
- Added a check in front of it that blocks them from showing up in the setup window if JOIN_WITH_MUTANT_HUMANS is not set.
- Included new game_options.txt as an example.
The tgstation server has never used the example game_options.txt so the new config option will not be enabled on it. Even if it did, the option starts commented out in the file.
-Putting a human on purrbation gives them cat ears and a cat tail, and sends them the message 'You suddenly feel valid.'
-Removing a human from purrbation reverses the effects, and sends them the message 'You suddenly don't feel valid anymore.'
-Renamed "Long and Smooth" tail to "Cat" tail. I wasn't kitten anyone with the old name.
-Updated changelog.
Forgot to include these two in the last commit:
-Cat ears and tail now use your hair colour instead of your mutant colour.
-Added changelog.
-You can now set which colour an accessory should use: HAIR, FACEHAIR, EYECOLOR, MUTCOLORS or its own (0). Right now only mutantparts use this.
-Consequently, humans lost their ability to change mutant colours, although the special flag MUTCOLORS_PARTSONLY still exists.
-The proc is defined as proc/qualifies_for_rank(var/rank, var/list/features), and by default defined to always return 1. You must override it locally in your species definition to set special job properties.
-Lizards will fail the check for jobs in command_positions and pass it for any other job. Just like before.
-Humans will always pass the check if they don't have ears or tails. If they do have ears or tails, they will fail the check if the job is in command_positions, engineering_positions, science_positions, medical_positions, security_positions or equal to "Quartermaster", effectively limiting their job selection to civlian, lower supply and silicon jobs.
-Added one ear and one tail accessory to these categories, obtained from the kitty ears. The ears are obviously cat ears, but the tail can pass for a monkey tail without ears.
-Humans can now also edit alien/mutant colours. They have access to the full range of colours, but if the player switches back to lizard and the colour is too dark, it'll be reset to the default.
-Renamed the original tail to tail_lizard. All references are properly updated and nothing has to be changed.
-Could not solve an annoying bug with the setup window, where a lizard tail is rendered whenever a human tail is set. This problem only exists in the setup window and does not affect the sprite in-game.
The keyword scanner (thing that adds (?) links to player names in admin helps) has been moved to its own proc.
This has been added to all admin pms.
It has been added to asays as well, with the (FLW) link removed to avoid it being distracting.
Replying to an admin help (but not other forms of admin pms nor admin pm replies) by clicking on the name of the ahelper will now send a message to all admins letting them know you are typing up a reply to it. (this should avoid mutiple people replying to the same ahelp) (It also sends a message if you escape out of the ahelp reply as well)
Random lizard bodies will finally have color!
Pushes features almost all the way to the DNA side of thing, the mob side is only needed during character creation.
Note that changes to the save file will invoke a one time per character runtime for legacy characters as the save file purges mutant_color, this is as far as I can tell harmless, has no effect on the player, and is self correcting.
Each portion individually selectable upon character creation, the number of lizard combinations is bordering on absurdist with six customizable fields.
36,864 unique combinations!
(309,237,645,312 If you count color variations)
Never feel like you can't be unique again! Have fun looking fabulous as the crew beats your special little skull in!
