Removes the unused (and abused) set-player-OOC-colour verb.
Adds definitions for each rank to the stylesheet, moving it from the OOC file.
Updates the OOC-text-color verb accordingly.
Made the custom OOC text color resetable.
Cleaned up hardcoded values, old code and comments.
Synthetics can no longer magically print color images on a black-and-white photocopier.
No longer possible for organics to acquire a synth-image by un-attaching it from a newscaster.
News articles now come with a timestamp and photo captions, if anything was penned on an attached photo.
Reception-checks no longer unconditionally sleeps the thread. Was causing havoc with NanoUI.
Misc. code refactoring.
Previously missed Z-level checks in the form "z != X". Utilized this regex which hopefully has cought most of them [zZ](\s?)(!?)=(\s?)(\d+).
Adds more Z-level configuration, admin levels.
Now possible to configure 3 different kind of Z-levels.
Station levels: Which Z-levels the station exists on.
Contact levels: Which Z-levels are typically affected by, for example, Code Red which alters the visual state of fire alarms.
Player levels: Which Z-levels a character can typically reach.
One can one access and view newsfeeds from the comfort of one's PDA.
Possible to change and disable the newsmessage beep.
Known issues:
Unlike browse() NanoUI does not appear to wait for browse_rsc(), the method which to transfers image to the client's cache, to finish.
This often results in newsfeeds not always displaying their images the first time they are viewed.
Since the telebaton nerf, the vox lost their ability for stuns so this should give them the ability to whack folks and take prisoners again. As well, the telebaton was pretty worthless as a weapon.
First pass on major conversion of xenomorphs to a human subspecies. Additional condensing of various redundant mob verbs.
Converted larva and diona to their own class, collapsed the rest of xenomorphs into a human species, other stuff.
Completely removed attack_alien(). Still have to reimplement some of the lost behavior for human/alien.
Reapplies lost attack_alien() functionality other than tackling/caressing.
Further alien/humanoid cleanup and xenospawn fix-ups. Also uncommented caste verbs.
Removed half-finished abilities system since species.dm handles it.
All xenomorphs functionality should be working now, other than the HUD, tackling and the xenomorph balance issues.
Added icons for xenomorph castes, moved broadcast languages into datums, removed alien_talk and robot_talk vars.
Merged with organ removal code.
Reapplied verbs to simple_animals/slimes. Updated species definitions to have appropriate organs.
Readded tackle as a human verb.
Borer changes regarding brain removal.
Working on moving the human HUD to the species datum a bit. Mixed results.
Moved Cortical Link to a language, added borer husks.
Tidied up the HUD stuff. Still need to make it rebuild properly when species is changed, but this will do for no
Compile fix, forgot the DME.
Fixed up ventcrawl, added new organ mechanics for dionaea.
Fixed up some overlooked sections causing mobs without brains to die immediately.
Fixed up plasma generation for queens, bugs with organs, force_organ issues with set_species().
Replaces magic numbers across the code base with proper constants.
Prepares for the ability to have more than one antag channel in the future.
Corrects a lie.
Docking ports still don't use filters though, as it would mess with the
docking ports that are also airlocks. Docking is infrequent though so it
should be fine.
