- Emergency shuttle call/recall announcements will say when a tracing attempt has been successful, as well as explicitly telling players how to view them
- Clarified language further on how emergency shuttle tracing is done
- Increased tracing success rate from 60% to 70%
- Removed a lot of duplicated code by moving all the priority_announce() calls to incall()
Mostly as a way to reverse the consequence of an badmin's lapse of good judgement (There's no easy way to reverse the Halloween event button.). This can also be used for an assortment of badminning.
Additionally,
-Create virus re-added to secrets menu, as it had options to specify a specific virus to create
-Blob added to One-Click-Antag with the option to set the strength of the blob (1=Weak, 2= Strong, 3=Full)
-Pressing this button will spawn up to 5 death commandos on centcom with a customizable objective
-Added a shuttle console to the ferry that, rather than moving the shuttle, will send a request to admins instead
-Deathsquaddies get an energy shield
-Deathsquad beret will no longer hide head, face, and hair
-Centcom announcement proc merged with generic priority announcement proc
-Re-added the Captain Announces accompanied by a new pleasant sound, instead of the generic priority announcement
-Captain Announcements will automatically generate a newscaster article
-Priority announcements without any defined accompanying sound will play a generic "Attention" soundbyte as an audio cue
-Communications consoles will display who is currently logged in
Fixes issue #119
Transferred all the different colours of under clothes and shoes to obj/item/clothing/under/colour/XXX and obj/item/clothing/shoes/sneakers/XXX
Added two extra options to the spawn menu of the game panel, clothing and food.
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.
Death of the istype invasion from slimes, previously every single color of slime was its own kind of mob, and every single one of those slimes also had an adult form which was a different mob.
There is now only one kind of slime, reliant on new var is_adult and old var colour to determine how it looks. All baby slimes functioned identically outside of icon and core, and all adult slimes functioned identically to each other and to the babys save for a bit higher Health and more capacity to break shit.
A nice side effect is that this solves any inheritence issues of baby slimes growing up since it's still the same mob, though it doesn't solve the same issues for adult slimes splitting.
Also fixed a few annoying but rare bugs (like getting ghosted because you got DC'd and your slime self split and you weren't around to get mind transfered)
