Works pretty well. If it can't GC something, it'll just del() it and be done.
Speed is amazing, holy shit.
New procs you should be aware of:
qdel(atom/movable) - sets up an object for garbage collection. Call this rather than del(atom/movable).
atom/movable/Destroy() - called right before the object is GC'd, so it still has a loc. Also called if the object is del()'d.
new controller - garbage.dm has all the details on this. Basically it nulls all references on GC'd objects and force del() them if necessary.
Generally speaking, objects should use Destroy() for behavior prior to deletion rather than Del(). You should also always call the parent so the object gets the right gc_destroyed var set.
ISSUES:
Tries to GC mobs atm. This actually works for new players, not so much for humans/monkies/simple_animals/anything. I'm guessing it needs to clear out their mind and HUD and maybe other things.
Gibbing is really bugged. It works, but the overlays just sit there for awhile and ugh. I'm very tempted just to del() mob/living and mob/camera and call it a day.
qdel() equipment doesn't unequip the item.
Pipes don't generally GC correctly. Debugging suggests they get referenced in many pipenets and that isn't cleared properly. However some do work fine. Need assistance here.
Bots don't GC, probably in the radio controller.
Lots of other shit doesn't GC but it's hard to find them because of the pipe spam.
I think I'm calling Destroy() twice by accident.
Explosion game log now has epicenter coords
Powersink placement and explosion notifications
C4 notifications and logs
Logging singulo munchies and death
All SMES interactions now logged, because any of them can mess stuff up
Telesci logs what was teleported
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.
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.
Changes the time the shuttle comes with a nar-sie to 3 minutes, as Centcom
is probably rushing anyway because there is a giant unidentified god
running around the station.
Checking a collector's last power output via analyzers has been moved to multitools, because that actually made sense (betcha didn't know this existed, I know I didn't)
Analyzers can now be used to check the gas level of the tank in a loaded radiation collector (yay no more crowbars)
You can also use them on pipes to check gas levels (yay no more pipe meters)
Codewise, the several inconsistant instances of the analyzer code have been moved to a single proc. The following have been converted to use this:
-Pipes (they didn't have this before. Also changed the attackby code to be less dumb...)
-Pipe tanks (you know those big ones in maint everyone forgets about)
-Portable Atmospherics (canisters, air pumps, scrubbers)
-Flamethrower
-Tanks
-And now collectors
Changed atom's bullet_act to call the projectile's on_hit, and changed
most bullet_acts to call on_hit as well. Removed some now-unnecessary
snowflake code.
These changes will make projectiles which should effect non-mobs, such
as the gyrojet and the ion rifle, work properly. Inanimate objects can
now be empulsed with the ion rifle, whose projectiles used to dissipate
on hitting anything but a mob. Gyrojets now explode on most objects, as
opposed to just on walls and mobs, and the snowflake code that made them
work on walls is no longer necessary. The code for pulse rifles'
breaking walls has been moved from a check in turf to a check in pulse
beams, and has been expanded to include structures, allowing them to
(slowly) break girders. For coders, it means that on_hit is a reliable
proc for the effect of a bullet's hitting an object.
