spawns have a high overhead.
I only went for easy targets, almost every spawn could be removed with a few subsystems in place to handle delays or cooldowns
obj/effect/effect is now renamed obj/effect/particle_effect for better usability.
datum/effect/system and /datum/effect/effect/system are now both /datum/effect_system.
Fixes a bug where wall mounted igniters (and other spark producing objects) didn't produce sparks sometimes.
Moved explosion_particles.dm into the effect_system folder, because it has effect_systems code.
Fixes many machines and a few structure not having a cooldown when attacked with an item.
Fixes not being able to eat or be facehugged when wearing riot helmet with visor up.
Fixes not being able to use child of the tool type for craft recipes requiring tools.
Tablecrafting failure message now tells you what caused the failure (missing tool, missing component)
Fixes fuego plasma burrito recipe.
Fixes being able to grab cups from water cooler with telekinesis, putting the cup directly in your hand.
Fixes golem appearing with their old human name for a split second.
Some changes to make code more OOP (take_damage() proc for barricade, shieldgen, etc)
Some tweaks to light tube building code.
Fixes NOCLONE and CLUMSY being in both disabilities and mutations. they're now only disabilities.
Fixes minttoxin not gibbing people with the fat disabilities.
Fixes some runtimes, replacing usr by user in some places.
Fixes mutation overlays being removed when updating overlays.
Remove the now unused mob/var/list/mutations and human/var/blood_type
Fixed some formatting in preferences.dm
Heart attack: Moved heart attack var (and changed related code accordingly) from carbon to human since non humans have no use for it. I also added some feedback message when you recover from a heart attack.
Added a click cooldown on touching a light fixture.
burning yourself with a lighter now burns only the arm holding the lighter.
Fixes incorrect message when defibbing heart attack patient.
atom/movable/Destroy() in atoms_movable.dm now calls ..() to fix#8063
Light strength and light radius are no longer a single concept, although right now all lights are max strength for their radius
Updated the comment intro for _DynamicAreaLighting_TG.dm to account for modern fact and not talk so much about the old system(s)
And a changelog for all this lighting shit, not that anybody could possibly miss it
Uses actual objects on each non-space, dynamically lit turf. Light levels are switched back and forth via animate() and the object's alpha. Supporting colors shouldn't be too hard. Some hacky efficiency improvements means it isn't that much more expensive than current (I think, needs testing). Most of the lighting ss's cost is in checking all the lights and doing big loops, not anything actually in the loops themselves.
Start PDA flashlights on. This was to speed up testing but frankly I think it's a good change in general.
Added a Moved() proc. Called after a successful move.
In the future I hope to move off the luminosity var entirely but that was too slow in testing for me. That's what all that "for(area in sortedAreas) area.luminosity = 1" stuff in the lighting ss is, tests on removing luminosity outright.
Moving do_attack_animation() proc to mob/living
Fixing the pixel offset issue from beds especially rollerbed.
Fixing the nograv bouncing stopping because of another animation being used.(lying down, jittering, attack animation)
This commit removes lights from the process list, about 500 of them on the current map.
The purpose of this is to reduce lag from the master controller ticker.
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.
