This was probably bound to happen either way the previous version was based upon a faulty understanding of how the areas worked this is much more robust and only messes with the master areas
and master areas needing power updates call power updates for the each of it's child areas. Also added where messing with SMESes called for an update on all areas power consumption, probably
not required but doing so either way.
We also rebuild the active_areas list every 5 minutes, if you get a engineer that wants to build a new area off of the station with APC's set rebuild_all_areas in the master controller and it will
update instantly, otherwise wait 5 minutes. The only downside to this 5 minutes is you might get free energy until that area becomes active.
We no longer run auto_use_power() on every machine every tick.
We now have a global list of areas, and areas that have an APC in them (all_areas and active_areas) no more looping through world bullshit.
A bunch of snowflakey as fuck machines won't use_power() in their process, you get two options, active and idle, use them!
This means a lot of machines won't double dip on power as well so power usage for the station has dropped about 20%
Because everything is snowflakey as fuck we're going to have some machines that don't force an update on their power usage. Fuck them.
We should catch them with the root obj/machine/proc's forcing updates.
Before: If you turned off the breaker and fiddled with on/off states and turned on the breaker it wouldn't update the overlay because the check_updates wasn't doing an if(operating) check and would think it didn't need to update the overlays once you turned on the breaker.
After: Check_update() is doing a check for the breaker being on or off and taking that into account with the update_overlay flags and will update the overlays properly.
Thanks Razharas from /tg/ #coderbus for bringing this to my attention.
- Added a debugger device that can figure out when an object has been hacked/emagged
- Hacked APCs no longer display blue screen
- You can now disassemble emagged airlocks, they will yield a fried airlock electronic.
-Added a solars_list. The sun will use this list instead of the machines list. I made a proc which decided on whether to use this list or the powernet nodes list depending on what is smallest. I replaced some loops to use this proc.
-The sun will reference this list for debugging purposes. The sun will also remove solar equipment in the list which are not connected to a powernet.
-Cut down on some duplicated code.
-Fixed an issue with solar panels not updating their direction correctly.
-Changed the proc updateicon()'s name to update_icon()

General work to advance diseases.
-Changed the possible cures to a list which is ordered from easiest to cure to -hardest to cure.
-Some tweak valuables to symptoms.
-Air alarms will update their window when you cut/pulse wires.
-Re-added analysers to mechanical (blue) toolboxes.

-New wraith sprites by TankNut!
-Decreased flare duration, again(!)
-Made a based interact proc and changed the updateDialog to call that instead of attack_hand. This caused issues with the APC and getting the power cell out of it. I then changed all machines that had their own defined proc (that was everywhere)

-Atmos delay is now based on active players, to help fight lag for massive player rounds.
-Changed some for(blah in world) loops to use the correct lists.

Fixed the failsafe misreporting how long the MC has been dead.
Lighting initialization no longer 'interrupts' the master_controller setup().
Added updated powernet debugging tools. They're in my WIP folder. They are sexy c: It draws the powernet onto the map so you can see what's going on during debugging.
Added tachyon-doppler arrays. They're gonna be something for scientists to measure their bombs with rather than praying for the figures. Nothing spectacular.
Commented out switches, they aren't used and I've been fixing/testing powernets all day. Sorry. If you need them back just PM me and I'll fix them.
Known issues: the merging procs behave silly at intersections. I really tried to fix it but I think I'll make more progress just working on some powernet improvements.

Comments for lighting:
Like sd_DAL (what we used to use), it changes the shading overlays of areas by splitting each type of area into sub-areas
by using the var/tag variable and moving turfs into the contents list of the correct sub-area.
Unlike sd_DAL however it uses a queueing system. Everytime we call a change to opacity or luminosity
(through SetOpacity() or SetLuminosity()) we are simply updating variables and scheduling certain lights/turfs for an
update. Actual updates are handled periodically by the lighting_controller. This carries additional overheads, however it
means that each thing is changed only once per lighting_controller.processing_interval ticks. Allowing for greater control
over how much priority we'd like lighting updates to have. It also makes it possible for us to simply delay updates by
setting lighting_controller.processing = 0 at say, the start of a large explosion, waiting for it to finish, and then
turning it back on with lighting_controller.processing = 1.
Unlike our old system there is a hardcoded maximum luminosity. This is to discourage coders using large luminosity values
for dynamic lighting, as the cost of lighting grows rapidly at large luminosity levels (especially when changing opacity
at runtime)
Also, in order for the queueing system to work, each light remembers the effect it casts on each turf. This is going to
have larger memory requirements than our previous system but hopefully it's worth the hassle for the greater control we
gain. Besides, there are far far worse uses of needless lists in the game, it'd be worth pruning some of them to offset
costs.
Known Issues/TODO:
admin-spawned turfs will have broken lumcounts. Not willing to fix it at this moment
mob luminosity will be lower than expected when one of multiple light sources is dropped after exceeding the maximum luminosity
Shuttles still do not have support for dynamic lighting (I hope to fix this at some point)
No directional lighting support. Fairly easy to add this and the code is ready.
When opening airlocks etc, lighting does not always update to account for the change in opacity.
Explosions now cause lighting to cease processing temporarily.
Moved controller datums to the code/controllers directory. I plan on standardising them.
"Master","Ticker","Lighting","Air","Jobs","Sun","Radio","Supply Shuttle","Emergency Shuttle","Configuration","pAI" controller datums can be accessed via the debug controller verb (used to be the debug master controller verb)
Supply shuttle now uses a controller datum. Shuttles tend to arrive up to 30 seconds late, this is not a bug.

-I've added some cameras to rooms that should have cameras but were previously depending on other camera's using their X-Ray vision in order to see into a room.
-AIs have a multitool in their contents that they can use to interact with the telecommunication machines.
-Added "Follow" for observers. Works the same as AI tracking without checking if they can track.
-Added a range to how far Cyborgs can interact with machines. This is to stop Cyborgs from interacting with machines through cameras, which could be used to easily disable the AI.

All credits to the author for this handy little script.
I Committed the modified python script to tool directory. Although it needs to be in the root folder of your repo to work.
To notice the improved compile times, in dreammaker go to Build > Preferences > and untick "automatically set file_dir for subfolders"
If this commit inteferes with any large projects just revert it, do your thing, then rerun the script. Easy-peasy.
