This stops AI corpses showing up in the end of round report. It also
means that a ghosted (whether after death or by going catatonic) AI or
borg will now have its player shown at the end of the round.
Weapons that do no damage play a tap sound, except for the bike horn and banhammer.
Adds a different attack message for forceless attacks. It says tapped or
patted on instead of attacked in.
Adds force zero check to armour before attempting to block attacks.
Adds hitsounds to the welder, lighter, matches, cigarettes, energy sword and energy axe for when they're on and off.
Adds 5 force to the lighter when it's lit. Same as when you accidentally burn yourself lighting it. Adds a hitsound and the correct damage type to the lighter.
Adds hitsound volume scaling based on the weapon's force and its weight class. Adds tap sound scaling based on a weapon's weight class.
Removes boldness from item attack messages on non-human mobs. The attack is still bolded for the player
controlling the mob.
Adds a force check to blood spurts when attacking non-human mobs. If the weapon doesn't have a force, no blood will come out.
Adds adminhelp.ogg as the banhammer's hitsound with Cheridan's permission.
Adds a much needed period to the catatonic human examine message.
Makes the activation and deactivation sounds of toy swords, energy swords and energy shields quieter. What an earsore.
Makes description, item_state and name of matches that have burned out on their own consistent with those put out by the player. Changes match, cigarette and lighter attack verbs and forces based on whether they're lit or not.
Fixes a bug that allowed players to light cigarettes with burnt matches.
Names lit cigarettes and children of cigarettes lit [name].
Fixes a bug with the energy blade that kept it at weight class 5 after it was deactivated.
Changes the welder out of fuel message slightly to be less fragmented.
Removes dead air from most of the weapon sound effects used in this pull to make them more responsive. In other words, the fire extinguisher sound will play a lot sooner after you click than before. Equalised their peak volumes to all be -0.1dB and in an attempt to make altering volumes based on force more consistent.
Thank you @YotaXP for help with the item_attack.dm attack messages.
Thank you @optimumtact for help with code for testing item_attack volumes.
Thank you @Giacom for help with the code for scaling hitsound and tap sound volume by hitforce.
Thank you @Tastyfish for telling me why my proc wasn't working.
Thank you to anyone else on #coderbus who helped me who I've forgotten to mention.
Blob spores that pass over the dead will now couple with the corpses to create blob zombies that are stronger and more resiliant than the spore alone. Should the blob zombie fall the original corpse is recovered and just as cloneable as it was before infection. These are simple animals not under the control of anyone.
Blob zombies will occur automatically if a blob finds a corpse under it and it's not already a zombie. Blob zombies have a base 80 health (normal blobs have 40) and gain additional health if the host body is wearing armor. They don't however actually gain the normal benefits of wearing the armor.
Blob zombies attack for 10 to 15 damage per strike, as opposed to the paltry 2 to 4 a hostless spore does.
Why this is good for the overmind:
The overmind cannot directly command the creation of zombies but can rally spores to a corpse's location to largely assure it will happen by itself. Blob zombies still follow rally spore commands and still count towards a factory blobs spore limit. As previously shown they're far more robust than spores and also deny the crew the ability to clone the victim until the zombie is defeated.
Why this is good for the crew:
Remember when the warden kamakazied the blob at the start of the round only to be engulfed and killed with the entire armory in his backpack? You can get those guns back now, because the warden's corpse will soon be moving to a very recoverable location! This also promotes not letting people die pointlessly to the blob or at least dragging corpses away from the blob (and hopefully to genetics) so they can't be infected.
-Syndicate Borgs will no longer synch to AI
-Syndicate Borgs can no longer emag themselves
-Syndicate Borgs will get the proper faction assigned to them,
preventing viscerators from tearing them apart.
Refactored some of the code into procs.
Small feature: bombs tick louder when they are 10 seconds or less left, nuclear bombs were given the same treatment but with 20 seconds.
Fixed a bug with the syndicate bomb wire datum not using the CanUse().
