When a post is too long to send, reflect it back to the user in the chatbox so they can copypaste it into separate messages. Also increases the message limit from 1024 to 2048. If a message is longer than 5-messages worth, it is not reflected and a warning is sent instead to avoid easily consuming bandwidth for DDOS purposes with long messages.
I'd like to add markers in the message where the posts would have been truncated but that's... complicated.
Removes a very large amount of world loops.
Adds a macro to painlessly generate a global list, and the needed code to modify the list when an object is made or deleted automatically.
Cleans up some commented out code.
Adds toolspeed var, which is a multiplier on how 'fast' the tool works. 0.5 means it goes twice as fast.
Adds usesound var, which determines what sound is used when a tool is being used.
Changes a lot of code to use those two vars instead.
Adds 'ayyy' tools, which are ported from /tg/'s abductor gamemode. They're currently admin only but I might make them obtainable by xenoarch later.
Adds powertools, also from /tg/. CE starts with them in a new toolbelt that spawns in their locker, ported from (you guessed it) /tg/.
Changes welder sprites to look nicer, ported yet again from /tg/. Modified the blue welder slightly so it can be the electric welder sprite.
Adds various sounds from /tg/, for tools and welders.
Southern Cross shuttles one and two can now launch.
Adds missing areas for shuttles 1 and 2.
Shuttles warming up, moving, or stopping now make a nice sound, ported from /tg/.
Rearranges shuttle datum/computer definitions to make it easier to read.
Removes cloaking abilities for most multi-shuttles.
Lowers transit time for multi-shuttles. Can be raised later if desired.
Making a list just... 'be 10 long' is bad. Like update_icons layers and various other things, if you add more, it will compile fine and then you get runtimes later, which is a little annoying. Having places you just have to 'know' to update elsewhere in the code is meh.
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.
No mechanical changes come of this change, only the ability to have an antagonist faction, as well as having specified visbility for the affiliation itself.
Also adds Skrell home system to the home system list.
Removes limitation of being unable to join different colors of cable
Allows merging of different kinds of cable
Adjusts the color changing proc to be nicer as per Baystation12/Baystation#11645
Makes several custom color definitions, utilized by the floor painter, floor tiles, decals, etc.
Colored floor turfs now use a white icon state and applies a color, similar to the corresponding decals. This ensures they have the same color tone (was slightly off previously).
Colored floor tiles also use a white icon state and color application.
Removes now unused item states.
