Just in time for the feature freeze, a big change that will introduce bugs! Yay!
Mob verb is called verb/examinate(target), which just calls target.examine(user) and face_atom(target)
For explanation why, see http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=1326139&page=2#comment8198716
Long story short, mob verbs are much faster than object verbs. The goal is to make right-click menus populate faster.
Also changes a bunch of examine() procs to always, ALWAYS call the parent. Except mobs, but you have 1 guess why I'm not touching them. Mostly this affects obj/item/examine().
And also remove a whole shitload of pointless set src in view(2) kind of crap. Also span classes.
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.
Crossed() is a byond builtin which is called automatically when two movable atoms overlap (as a side effect of Move(), but not when loc or x/y/z is changed). Previously, turf/Entered() iterated through all objects in the turf in order to tell them an object had entered; with this change, HasEntered() becomes redundant and can be eliminated.
This may reduce lag when a large number of objects are moving in a small space (singularity, mining conveyors, etc) but should cause no changes to functionality at all.
Fixes#646, #579, #863
Completely redoes the click code. Moves all click related code into code/_onclick for reference. Also moves hud datum code and all the screen object code I could find into code/_onclick/hud, as it is related. Item attack(), attackby(), afterattack(), and attack_self() have been moved into item_attack.dm for consistency.
Completely removes dummy objects and adds atom.Adjacent(user). This proc checks for border items and anything marked with throwpass for determining whether or not you can reach a given square. A turf helper, ClickCross(), was added to facilitate this.
Removes the monolithic Atom.Click() proc in favor of an overridable click handler attached to mobs. Click code no longer uses the : path operator as a consequence, and mob/lastDblClick has been moved to Client/next_click. A few end arounds were necessary (screen objects, buildmode, and spells), but this has been handled by repurposing Atom.Click(); if you have special click code, insert it in the object's Click() function and return 1 to prevent normal processing.
This update adds support for attack_ghost(); the previous "new" click handler had support for it but was never finished. I have taken the liberty of letting ghosts click portals, the gateway, and the teleporter to jump to the intended target square, and kept the previous default action of examine()ing every damn thing you click. It is to be suggested that you could do more with this proc when ghost interactions are enabled.
This update also adds support for double clicking. It is currently only used for ghosts and AIs, because the original (first) click still registers normally. For both of these, double clicking a square will jump you to it, and double clicking a mob will follow it. In the case of ghosts, double clicking bots and the singularity will also set you following it; if you double click your own corpse, you will re-enter it; this also works if your body is in a closet, sleeper, DNA scanner, etc. Default mobs ignore double clicks as normal.
-- NOTE --
There are two flags which were previously unused or misused by click code: USEDELAY and NODELAY. Ostensibly, USEDELAY would double the normal 1sec delay, and NODELAY would remove it.
Using either of these flags as intended would significantly affect the timing of the game. In particular, USEDELAY is currently applied to guns and about everything else that acts at range. I am adding USEDELAY as a half-second increase for now, but I have not put a significant amount of thought into it. I considered lowering the normal 1sec delay to .8sec to balance it, but the consequences of that on combat involve more calculations than I care to make.
NODELAY seems to never have been used, and I did not implement it, but I could do so trivially.
ghost_form is now saved with other preferences.
Public visibility of memberships is toggable and saved with other preferences.
ooc-colors for admins and members are now sanitized. Bright colours like Yellow, white and baby-blue will be darkened for the sake of legibility.
Related to above - added helper procs to convert between RGB and HSL colour models.
Admins cannot modify var/unlock_content without +DEBUG rights. unlock_content moved from client into prefs.
Player savefile version number updated - this will trigger savefile updates, no data should be lost.
Resolves an issue where whitespace in names could cause a saveslot button to wrap to the next line.
Byond members:
can colour their name using the admin ooc-colour feature.
get a icon next to their name in ooc chat.
can choose their icon_state as a ghost.
get 8 saveslots
unlock_content tracks the return of IsByondMember(). This is to allow for easier testing/debug.
*Creates new living mobtype: voices who are created inside of other living mobs. They communicate only with other voices in the same mob and the mob itself.
*Uses the new mobtype for changelings. Lings now have the option to absorb the "memories" of a target. The memories can ghost on their own accord or be forced out by a changeling to prevent spam or verbal abuse. After ghosting the former voice can re-enter the original body (now probably a husk).
*Adds an argument to the ghostize verb to have the ghost refer to a new mind. This was used to have voices be able to enter their own body. - Adds the option for a living mob with voices to talk to them using ":v". (This isn't in the current patch for some reason)]
*changeling powers can now have multiple verbs tied to them

Minds part2 - Carn loses her mind.
The way datum/mind stuff works has been changed a lot. I really can't explain everything. If you have any questions it'd just be easier if you leave a comment or ask me in coderbus.
Generally, minds now represent IC characters rather than following a client around constantly. Minds can change owners, mobs, (names WIP).
Technical babble:
The var/current and var/original variables of the mind datum must always be of type mob/living (or null). Please do not mind.transfer_to(ghost_mob). If you want to ghost somebody use ghostize()! It will do all the technical stuff for you.
mob/dead/observer/var/corpse was removed. mob/dead/observer/var/mind is now used as a reference to the last mind the player had (so respawning code has something to reference), but also because mind.current is a far more useful way of tracking a corpse. If somebody triggers a mind.transfer_to() call on your corpse, your mind will be tranfered to another mob/living or something...that will then be considered your corpse. This could allow for more interesting mind_transfers. For instance, the "raise corpse" rune ghostizes any player in the corpse to be raised and selectes a random dead player to take possesion of their character! The person possesing them will have all of their memories, objectives, etc. The poor guy who was originally the owner cannot re-enter body if there is another player in his body...but if that player is ghosted he can once again return. Exorcisms anybody?
Changes to cloning and hydroponics. I will likely have to rework these later as they're hacky as hell right now.
A lot of stuff is now handled by Login/Logout rather than in hundreds of different places. One such example, mind datums get their variables updated at Login and Logout.
Fixed a few minor bugs. I'll update the issues manually in a bit because I literally cannot think atm.
TL;DR guide:
-If you want to make somebody a ghost use ghostize(). Or you will need to find a doctor to stitch your bits back on. :)
-You don't have to worry about making minds. Simply doing key="carnwennan" or whatever will either: A) make a new mind and initialise it if there isn't one or B) take possession of the mind currently attached to the mob.
-It's safe to transfer a mind even if a key isn't in-body (e.g. they are ghosted/admin-observing etc!) Minds have an active variable which tracks whether they are currently synced with a key. This is to avoid dragging ghosts back into their bodies when say, a wizard mind_transfers them.
-Transferring a mind whilst var/active=1 will cause the following: mob.key = mind.key. So no need to do that separately (in fact you'll lag things if you do, so don't)
-If you do want to initialize a mind manually, say if you don't have a client to login to the mob yet, simply do new_mob.mind_initialize(). Simple! When someody is logged into that mob they will take ownership of the mind and it will sync up.
NOTE: a lot is probably broken since this is a pretty massive change. Please let me know asap (with actual info! Shouting at me, "IT BORKED HALP", doesn't help)

This part focuses on:
-structuring the way silicon mobs initialise upon login (there was some hideous copypasta in Login() and New() which used spawn() to change the order of the calls so it was all jumbled up. I think I've got it sorted now.
-Borgs var/real_name was not initialising as "Cyborg". Meaning the name checks were kind of borked.
-Ghosts are now deleted at logout if they no longer have a key. This will stop unneeded ghosts being left lying around. It will not delete ghosts with keys assigned (so people can't respawn or anything). Removed all the del(ghost_ref) stuff I could find. Generally movign the key from a ghost should be the last thing you do as the ghost will be deleted by Logout. However I've put it in a spawn() to hopefully avoid coders accisentally using it in a way which causes runtimes.
-Fixed clone-plants spawning dud potato-people left, right and centre. They'll now dump seeds if it fails for whatever reason.
-Cultist and Rev status are removed at mob/living/silicon/Login() rather than having to be called on a special-case basis everywhere. This may not be necessary when this stuff is finished.
-Removed a bunch of :
-Commented mob/living/Login() with the rest of the antag-indicator code from cloning.dm and hydroponics.dm for any coders whom feel brave/suicidal to fix the related issues
Next on the agenda, replacing mob/var/original_name with datum/mind/var/name to fix the ticker runtimes
Then, fixing mind/proc/transfer_to(mob) once and for all. (There are issues with duplicate minds, role updates, inconsistent initialisation etc etc *yawn*
There's probably a few obscure bugs in there somewhere. Might want to hold off on the updates for a bit. Coderbus will likely spot them all by the end of the week.

There were no checks in re-enter corpse for anyone currently controlling the corpse. Meaning any attached client was left mobless and hence garbage collected (DCed).

- Hopefully addressed the concerns about the ultra-darkness. Night vision, mesons, thermals and material scanners now make you see through darkness. (Lighting code does not affect you)
- Ghosts get a "toggle darkness" verb, which changes their see_invisibility. When the toggle is enabled, ghosts cannot see other ghosts. This is due to invisibility.

The main problem is: if a mind is transferred to a ghost, objectives that have that mind as a target will treat the ghost as the target mob. Which is clearly a problem. This should fix exploits where people could force people to win/lose objectives via ghosting, gibbing, etc.
It should also eliminate any other weird bugs like the one Nodrak fixed a while ago where pais would keep their mind....meaning they were like, a cultist pai or something and could rat antags out to its owner using the HUD.
Removed some conditions from objectives (like those pertaining to the thunderdome) as they were bait for meta. >ghost >teleport to thunderdome >antag fails the objective she completed

-Almost every instance of 'for(mob in world)' has been killed. Because GODDAMN was it being run a bunch. Instead, a series of global lists have been made, and they are all handled auto-magically through New()'s, Del()'s, Login()'s, death()'s, etc...
Lists are as follows:
-mob_list : Contains all atom/mobs by ref
-player_list : Like mob_list, but only contains mobs with clients attached
-admin_list : Like player_list, but holds all mobs with clients attached and admin status
-living_mob_list : Contains all mobs that ARE alive, regardless of client status
-dead_mob_list : Contains all mobs that are dead, which comes down to corpses and ghosts
-cable_list : A list containing every obj/structure/cable in existence
Note: There is an object (/obj/item/debuglist) that you can use to check the contents of each of the lists except for cables (Since getting a message saying "a cable," x9001 isn't very helpful)
These lists have been tested as much as I could on my own, and have been mostly implemented. There are still places where they could be used, but for now it's important that the core is working. If this all checks out I would really like to implement it into the MC as well, simply so it doesn't check call Life() on every mob by checking for all the ones in world every damn tick.
Just testing locally I was able to notice improvements with certain aspects, like admin verbs being MUCH more responsive (They checked for every mob in the world every time they were clicked), many sources of needless lag were cut out (Like Adminwho and Who checking every single mob when clicked), and due to the cable_list powernet rebuilding is MUCH more efficient, because instead of checking for every cable in the world every time a powernet was broken (read: A cable was deleted), it runs though the pre-made list, and even with a singulo tearing all the way across the station, the powernet load was VERY small compared to pretty much everything else.
If you want to know how any of this works, check global_lists.dm, there I have it rigorously commented, and it should provide an understanding of what's going on.
