Added the blob to the check antagonists, displaying how many blobs are left to win and being able to show the player panel for the blob.
Gave overminds mind datums which will initialize to give the overmind a blob special role.
Re-worded the BE ALIEN candidate so that it is more abstract and could mean becoming a blob.
Added another message for when the infected crew is about to burst into a blob.
EMPs will now hurt the blob.
Fixed blob spores blocking the blob from expanding.
Nodes will also slowly recharge their health.
Gave a little bit of health to normal blobs so that lasers don't one shot them anymore, barely.
*the statue's attackby has been relaxed so any item can whack it without checks
*The mimic's check for mobs from lapsed flesh to stone spells has been simplified
*The reason this check works is because when a statue runs out of time it locs its contents, so if the statue was inside something else (in this case a mimic) they end up in the mimic's contents.
*the targeting for the spell has been reworked so there's no chance of people in the same loc getting stoned instead of your intended victim. As a result of this improvement, wizards can now cast the spell on other wizards with reckless abandon
*Flesh to Stone and the Staff of Animation play nicer with each other now, no more mobs getting trapped in item mimics after escaping the statue.
*Minor tweaks to the monkey statue, which looked dumb
Fixes the grab timer; there will now be a delay between grab upgrades.
Fixes grab process so you no longer have to spam click before it disables itself. Fixes issue #577
Fixes issue #253:
Prevents grab and throw when the affected mob is buckled.
Prevents tabling a mob when that mob is buckled.
Prevents you from dropping scythes on a table or rack if there is a space vine in that square; it will now auto-attack the vine instead. Also auto-attacks vines if you click the floor under them.
* Increased players per blob and decreased blob count to win.
* Changed the health value of the blob spores.
* Blob gamemode will give the blob core a resource rate of 2, random event blob cores will get 1.
* Raised the amount of time that has to pass before the blob event occurs.
* Increased the difficulty of expanding into space.
* Added a player limit to the blob gamemode.
* Removed density from shield and other variables which are set in the abstract blob.
* Deleted spores after they die.
* Reset the brute resistance.
* Disabled random blobs in the blob gamemode.
* Double'd the blob spore's health.
* Blobs can expand into space again but it will be harder to do than on a space tile.
* Dead robots will be gibbed in their blob_act() as their bodies will block the blob.
* Reduced the damage the blob takes from explosions, and increased the brute resistance. Blobs main weakness is fire, not force.
* Fixed multiple bugs with the cameras and the malf powers. All malf powers should be in working order now.
* Added a new power that creates an automatic cyborg machine that will allow the AI's minions to put living humans through it to build a cyborg army. This power will cost all their malf points and will stop them from being able to shunt, to balance it.
Blob Gamemode Revamp
Blob gamemode is back and better than ever.
The blob is selected from be_alien candidates and is controled like a real time strategy game.
Changeling Regeneration now has two steps, so that changelings can decide when to use it rather than popping up after a timer.
Fixed an issue with the chem UI indicator showing up for non-lings.
Re-introduced the concept of a player controlling the blob in an RTS fashion, expanding the blob and building structures such as nodes and factories.
All blobs will try to find ghosts, with the BE_ALIEN flag, to be the blob overmind. Even random event blobs will try to get players to play as the overmind.
Added a /mob/camera that is now being used by the AI eye and the blob overmind. It is a mob that isn't dead but acts as a camera for the player, to be controlled by something like the AI or the blob.
There are now a resource currency for the blob to spend it's points on blob expansion and upgrades.
Added a small blob_act to mechs.
Made all camera mobs max invisibility. Because of this I removed the AI best friend button as it would be not working.
Blob mode will send a normal intercept report.
