- Creates new advanced shield generators, designed to replace old hull and bubble shield generators.
- Upgrades the floor mounted and handheld shield diffusers.
- Makes underfloor shield diffusers actually constructable.
- Handheld diffusers orderable via uplink.
- Removes supply packs and research datums for the old generators, but leaves their code in place for maps that still use them.
- Integrates with the meteor and electrical storm events.
- Integrates with mob AI (they know how to attack it)
Keeps the same "bold if changed" functionality added in recent QoL improvements, but replaces the one-datum-instance per hint per device with a two number vars per device.
* Makes hacking window consider all hands instead of just the active one.
* Makes bottom indicators in hacking window go bold if they changed since the last refresh.
* Changelog
* Adds "typecache" utility functions. A fast way to filter lists by type.
Ported from TG
* Ports the "orbit" feature and subsystem from TG
* Adds a feature that allows mobs and objs to "orbit" around some atom. They literally are moved around in circles. See the `orbit` proc in orbit.dm.
* Adds a subsystem that processes the actual movement of orbiting items.
* Adds utility methods for common machinery behavior.
* Adds default_unfasten_wrench which handles the standard anchor/unanchor behavior of wrenches being used on machines. Together with the other default_x_tool machinery procs we can eliminate having that code duplicated in dozens of places!
* Adds is_wire_tool proc to easily detect when a machine is hit with a tool that should open its wires UI (if it has one).
Based on ideas from Paradise, with improvements for us.
* Implements the Tesla Engine
Ported from a mixture of TG and Paradise code and assets: Edison's Bane
Includes the tesla energy ball itself, the generator that makes it, tesla coils, grounding rods, the circuits and frames to build them.
* Switch dusting to zapping on impact and spin better
Ported /tg SpinAnimation which supports more than triangles.
Added four extra hacking wires to the jukebox for Play, Stop, Next, and Prev. The main purpose is to allow attaching of singallers for remote controlling the jukebox.
Separates the 'count and assess everything' stuff to it's own datum, called the metric datum, which I plan to add on to in the future to make counting and metrics easier.
Makes decision process a bit more weight-based, will probably continue tweaking later.
Makes the admin debug UI have links to change settings easily.
Adds replacement for grid check event, which works similar to the old one, but is now based on a physical machine in the game world, that Engineering can hack to make the event end faster, if so desired. Note that the machine is not mapped in, and won't be mapped in until the event system is ready for launch.
Adds grid_check variables to SMESes and APCs to make them stop doing work without draining the battery.
Grid checks in the new system are caused by a "power spike" which originates from the engine and will cause bad things, should no grid checker machine be connected to the power-net. These power spikes occur when the GM decides that a grid check is a good event to have.
The grid checker can be built and deconstructed using the standard machine construction methods.
