* Moves spawners and decals to a different init/delete scheme Rather then fully creating and then immediately deleting these things, we instead do the bare minimum. This is faster, if in theory more fragile. We should be safe since any errors should be caught in compile since this is very close to a "static" action. It does mean these atoms cannot use signals, etc. * Potentially saves init time, mostly cleans up a silly pattern We use sleeps and INVOKE_ASYNC to ensure that handing back turfs doesn't block a space reservation, but this by nature consumes up to the threshold and a bit more of whatever working block we were in. This is silly. Should just be a subsystem, so I made it one, with support for awaiting its finish if you want to * Optimizes garbage/proc/Queue slightly Queue takes about 1.6 seconds to process 26k items right now. The MASSIVE majority of this time is spent on using \ref This is because \ref returns a string, and that string requires being inserted into the global cache of strings we store What I'm doing is caching the result of ANY \ref on the datum it's applied to. This ensures previous uses will never decay from the string tree. This saves about 0.2 seconds of init
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.
