-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.
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!
Instances where the game would give special treatment to MODE players will instead check to see if a player's assigned_role (job) matches their special_role (antag status). All antags that start off station (as well as ninjas for some weird reason) were affected.
Fixes#8743
Fixes an unreported bug where all the lizardpeople were horrifying on the character preview because it wasn't rendering their tains and noses. Incidentally the proc for character previews is horrifying.
Only relevent appearence settings will appear on the appearence screen for each race.
Moves the skin tones selector to the relevent appearence settings area for humans.
Any (non-silicon) job can now be set to be an unlimited slot job from Manage Job Slots
People will be allowed to join as assistant if no other jobs are availible
Removes a redundant sanity check from AssignRole()
There are three "levels" of popcaps, and you can use them in any assortment you like:
The "soft" cap produces a message on join, and takes no action.
The "hard" cap disallows joining whilst too many other people are alive and playing in game, but allows observing.
The "extreme" cap prevents people from joining the server at all while the cap is exceeded. It won't kick out people who failed to qualify during roundstart, but if they leave they won't be able to get back in.
In each case a customizable message config option has been given. Admins are also immune to most population caps (they still are hit by the ones in job shuffling, but can late join as normal afterwards)
Misc:
+Fixes unreported issue with initializing lighting on a specific zlevel
+Fixes two similar issues with moveElement and moveRange. Where fromIndex or toIndex could be adjusted incorrectly in certain conditions. Potentially causing bad-sorts, or out of bound errors.
+Rewrites listclearnulls(list/L) to no longer iterate through L.len elements for every null in the list (plus 1). i.e. went from L.len*(number_of_nulls+1) list-element reads (best-case), to L.len list-element reads (worst-case)
+New proc/getElementByVar(list/L, varname, value) which finds the first datum in a list, with a variable named varname, which equals value. You can also feed it atoms instead of lists due to the way the in operator functions.
+Fixes an unreported issue with Yota's list2text rewrite. Under certain conditions, the first element would not be converted into a string. Causing type-mismatch runtimes.
+New global map_ready variable. This is not fully implemented yet, but will be used to avoid duplicate calls to initialize() for map objects.
+All turfs now maintain references to all lights currently illuminating them. This will mean higher memory use unfortunately, due to the huge number of turfs. However, it will speed up updateAffectingLights significantly. I've used list husbandry to reduce baseline memory usage, so it shouldn't be any worse than some past atmos modifications memory-wise.
-Removed 'quadratic lighting', can add this back at some point. Sorry.
+modified the way lum() works slightly, to allow turfs to have overridden delta-lumen. i.e. space cannot be illuminated more than its default ambiance. This allowed removal of some iffy special-snowflake lighting areas implemented by somebody else.
+Lighting images in the dmi can now use arbitrary naming schemes. It is reliant on order now. This allows the dmi to be replaced by simply dropping in a new dmi.
-Removed all subtypes of /area/shuttle. Shuttles now create duplicate 'rooms' of /area/shuttle. (More on this later). This will conflict with most maps. Guide on how to fix to follow.
+All verbs/tools relating to world.tick_lag were refactored to use world.fps. However old config text for setting tick_lag will still work (it converts the value to fps for you)
+MC stats improved using smoothing. They now have their own tab so they dont get in the way when you're playing as an admin.
-removed the push_mob_back stuff due to conflicting changes. Sorry Giacom.
_OK, NOW THE ACTUAL INTERESTING STUFF_
Following systems moved over to subsystem datums:
air_master
garbage_manager
lighting_controller
process_mobs (aka Life())
nanomanager
power
sun
pipenets
AFK kick loops
shuttle_controller (aka emergency shuttle/pods), supply_shuttle and other shuttles
voting
bots
radio
diseases
events
jobs
objects
ticker
Subsystems hooks and variables should be commented fairly in-depth. If anything isn't particularly clear, please make an issue.
Many system-specific global variables have been refactored into
All tickers which previously used world.timeofday now use world.time
some subsystems can iterate before round start. this resolves the issue with votes not working pregame
