## About The Pull Request We currently have 2 types of xenos in the codebase, simple animal and carbon. I'd like to unite them both under basic, and I thought I should go for simple animal first since it's more of a conversion than a remake. This helps set a base for a future basic-only xeno, which would require the following: - Basic mobs (or just anything than Carbon) to have Organs, which we can then use for things like referring to their plasma sac for egg-laying, etc. - All xeno types having a basic mob variant, preferably with an AI so they would work without a player. - Something be done about larva, either we'd split basic xenos into "larva" and "adult" (like carbon) or have it be a separate path that can also have organs so they can still have hivemind. Everything else seems to have been done overtime as simple animals have been converted to basic (HUDs and holding things now seem possible, etc.) Even if this doesn't work out, at least this cuts off a good chunk of the remaining simple animals to convert to basic. Sprites used (for mapping helpers): Fire medkit Toxin medkit Oingo Boingo punch face (i tried to shrink it down) ## Why It's Good For The Game This helps advance us move away from simple animals, and helps move carbon xenos to basic mob later too if that's what we want to go for. ## Changelog 🆑 refactor: Xenomorphs (Lavaland & Oldstation ones) are now basic mobs. /🆑
The code in this module originally evolved from dmm_suite and has since been specialized for SS13 and otherwise tweaked to fit /tg/station's needs. dmm_suite version 1.0 Released January 30th, 2011. NOTE: Map saving functionality removed defines the object /dmm_suite - Provides the proc load_map() - Loads the specified map file onto the specified z-level. - provides the proc write_map() - Returns a text string of the map in dmm format ready for output to a file. - provides the proc save_map() - Returns a .dmm file if map is saved - Returns FALSE if map fails to save The dmm_suite provides saving and loading of map files in BYOND's native DMM map format. It approximates the map saving and loading processes of the Dream Maker and Dream Seeker programs so as to allow editing, saving, and loading of maps at runtime. ------------------------ To save a map at runtime, create an instance of /dmm_suite, and then call write_map(), which accepts three arguments: - A turf representing one corner of a three dimensional grid (Required). - Another turf representing the other corner of the same grid (Required). - Any, or a combination, of several bit flags (Optional, see documentation). The order in which the turfs are supplied does not matter, the /dmm_writer will determine the grid containing both, in much the same way as DM's block() function. write_map() will then return a string representing the saved map in dmm format; this string can then be saved to a file, or used for any other purose. ------------------------ To load a map at runtime, create an instance of /dmm_suite, and then call load_map(), which accepts two arguments: - A .dmm file to load (Required). - A number representing the z-level on which to start loading the map (Optional). The /dmm_suite will load the map file starting on the specified z-level. If no z-level was specified, world.maxz will be increased so as to fit the map. Note that if you wish to load a map onto a z-level that already has objects on it, you will have to handle the removal of those objects. Otherwise the new map will simply load the new objects on top of the old ones. Also note that all type paths specified in the .dmm file must exist in the world's code, and that the /dmm_reader trusts that files to be loaded are in fact valid .dmm files. Errors in the .dmm format will cause runtime errors.
