As above.
Traits now have an unlimited amount for negatives, given they are intended to harm you.
Positives have a cap of 6 total.
Prior to this, one could do 6 positives and two extremely expensive negatives, but no other 'fun' negatives.
Now, one can still do 6 strong positives, but as many negatives as they like.
IDEALLY this will allow for custom setups with a lot of small-cost negatives for higher cost positives.
Assuming Tankiness PR comes in before this, it will need adjusting to account for this, but, assuming one powergames to get the ABSOLUTE best traits possible (using the tankiness PR):
Positive:
High Endurance - 3
Burn Resist, Major - 3
Brute Resist, Major - 3
Increased Pain Tolerance - 2
Extreme Hardy - 3
Sharp Melee - 1
Traits Left: 0
Points Left: -15
Negative:
Reduced Biocompatability, Major - -8
Conductive Major - -3
Haemophilia - -2
Extreme Photosensitivity - -2
Points Left: 0
Extremely low healing (30% effective heals, meaning a heal for 10 will only heal 3)
Double incoming taser/electrical damage
Bleed 2x as fast
Flashes stun 2x as long. (This trait in particular is badly in need of an overhaul so it's not free points on 99% of rounds).
Refactors ore eating to facilitate the ethical consumption of refined materials, easily obtainable on station. Suggested by the kobolds.
Also fixes the material name of Plastitanium glass throughout the codebase.
* Since the transcore has a ticker process, it really should be a subsystem. Converted it over. However, because its ticker is so fast, I did not bother implementing MC_TICK_CHECK into it. Therefore it has the SS_NO_TICK_CHECK flag.
* Because its a subsystem, the global variable is now SStranscore instead of transcore.
* Because subsystems are so easy to debug, I removed the "TC" debugging variable from the machines that used it.
* Organized a few files. The transcore subsystem is in the subsystems folder. Defines had to be moved to defines folder so they are included first.
This replaces the mystical messages of things like Command Reports, the 'All hands' message when a CD joins, and head announcements with a PA system that behaves more reasonably than pushing all the messages out of the chat box. Nothing about the systems changed, just the way they show up. They still make the sound, too.
Now you can start with them in loadout. They are no longer SUNglasses though, so they won't protect you from flashes.
There are several models, the loadout ones are the civilian ones.
- Civilian: Displays job ID icon based on the person's ID, and shows a health bar only if they are injured.
- Medical: Same as civlian, but displays advanced status (virus, borer, etc) along with backup implant status, and allows medical records access.
- Security: Same as civilian, but displays warrant and arrest status, and will automatically darken (electrochromic) in response to flashes, making the wearer immune, plus security records access.
- Engineering: Same as civilian, but will automatically darken to protect one's eyes during welding.
- Research: Same as civilian, but has a trendy goggle form factor for SCIENCE reasons.
- Omni: Has the combined features of all of the above. The only pair available spawns in the CD's office. (CC officers also)
