Goonchat will use the asset cache, you now have to specify who to send the icons too.
Goonchat will now load icons in the background, displaying them once they load. this prevents the message from being delayed while the icons are sent.
Icons that aren't preloaded using the asset cache system will not render on ie8 clients. This is because of a ie8 bug that prevents changes on runtime created images from rendering.
Badmins: Buildmode map generators have names in the list to select them, instead of paths.
Also, a new map generator has been added, repair/reload station. Use it VERY sparingly, it deletes the block of the map and reloads it to roundstart. THIS CAN CAUSE ISSUES WITH MACHINES AND ATMOSPHERICS, SO DO NOT USE IT UNLESS YOU ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO!
The reload station one tagged DO NOT USE shouldn't be used as it doesn't delete anything before loading, so if you use it you'll have two copies of things. That can result in a LOT of issues, so don't use it unless you're a codermin and know what you're doing/abusing!
Click catcher now supports mousemove/mousedrag. Basically, mouse location can now be captured even if the user isn't mousing over a visible location
Added procs to allow for projectiles to be fired with just an angle for pixel projectiles, instead of requiring a target turf and pixel x/y
Added procs to get angle of user's mouse from their viewpoint (Time to rework gang machine guns again!)
Beam rifles now have different zoom modes
Free directional zooms out and tracks the angle of your mouse from the center of the screen. However, you can't target with very good accuracy on this (Shots can't be properly aimed on non dense objects/lying down mobs.)
Locked directional zooms like free directional but doesn't automatically turn if your aim changes.
Center view, just increases your view in all directions (2x weaker)
No zoom mode, in which you just retain your normal view.
You can select beam rifle zooming rates to be instant or stepped.
Stepped zooming rates zoom out 5 tiles per second. This will likely help with people not being able to use it without lagging because their computers aren't as beefy!
Beam rifles no longer require zoom to be fired
Beam rifle aiming beams now instantly update instead of on process
Beam rifle aiming beams are now one object instead of 150. This'll help with the lag caused by it during gameplay that I've observed.
Angular penalty reduced by 0.1 for a nice even number.
Instances of client.view = have been replaced with client.change_view() as that'll properly update the click catcher
Hopefully shooting yourself in the face when you hit a blob tile or whatnot is fixed with the new and improved code..
In light of the change of Bump to Collide, this should also be done
as it will make it less confusing for devs in the future
I also ended up changing a bunch of the code in the CollidedWith procs,
things that were assuming types, doing bad loc changes and so forth
* Adds locations to speech and related communications
Refactors how logging is handled for these.
* changes
* ahhhhh
* preemptive merge conflict undoing maybe?
* Let's not delay this further
