Minds part2 - Carn loses her mind.
The way datum/mind stuff works has been changed a lot. I really can't explain everything. If you have any questions it'd just be easier if you leave a comment or ask me in coderbus.
Generally, minds now represent IC characters rather than following a client around constantly. Minds can change owners, mobs, (names WIP).
Technical babble:
The var/current and var/original variables of the mind datum must always be of type mob/living (or null). Please do not mind.transfer_to(ghost_mob). If you want to ghost somebody use ghostize()! It will do all the technical stuff for you.
mob/dead/observer/var/corpse was removed. mob/dead/observer/var/mind is now used as a reference to the last mind the player had (so respawning code has something to reference), but also because mind.current is a far more useful way of tracking a corpse. If somebody triggers a mind.transfer_to() call on your corpse, your mind will be tranfered to another mob/living or something...that will then be considered your corpse. This could allow for more interesting mind_transfers. For instance, the "raise corpse" rune ghostizes any player in the corpse to be raised and selectes a random dead player to take possesion of their character! The person possesing them will have all of their memories, objectives, etc. The poor guy who was originally the owner cannot re-enter body if there is another player in his body...but if that player is ghosted he can once again return. Exorcisms anybody?
Changes to cloning and hydroponics. I will likely have to rework these later as they're hacky as hell right now.
A lot of stuff is now handled by Login/Logout rather than in hundreds of different places. One such example, mind datums get their variables updated at Login and Logout.
Fixed a few minor bugs. I'll update the issues manually in a bit because I literally cannot think atm.
TL;DR guide:
-If you want to make somebody a ghost use ghostize(). Or you will need to find a doctor to stitch your bits back on. :)
-You don't have to worry about making minds. Simply doing key="carnwennan" or whatever will either: A) make a new mind and initialise it if there isn't one or B) take possession of the mind currently attached to the mob.
-It's safe to transfer a mind even if a key isn't in-body (e.g. they are ghosted/admin-observing etc!) Minds have an active variable which tracks whether they are currently synced with a key. This is to avoid dragging ghosts back into their bodies when say, a wizard mind_transfers them.
-Transferring a mind whilst var/active=1 will cause the following: mob.key = mind.key. So no need to do that separately (in fact you'll lag things if you do, so don't)
-If you do want to initialize a mind manually, say if you don't have a client to login to the mob yet, simply do new_mob.mind_initialize(). Simple! When someody is logged into that mob they will take ownership of the mind and it will sync up.
NOTE: a lot is probably broken since this is a pretty massive change. Please let me know asap (with actual info! Shouting at me, "IT BORKED HALP", doesn't help)

/obj/effects is now /obj/effect.
/obj/station_objects is now /obj/structure.
Did a bit of minor blob work.
The Bay 12 body bags were replaced with closets because having two sets of code that do almost the same thing is silly.
Changed back a few of the last jobproc edits as the remove from list before assign was a check to see if the mob was fucked up and if it was remove it so we did not check it again as it would still be fucked up.
The medbay/tox monkeys names are random once more. More random name monkeys will help with changeling and clean up the observe/mob menus.

Two new categories were made: station_objects and effects. station_objects, which I'm sure someone will want renamed to 'structures' contains the objects which don't need process() or power code.
Effects contains objects which are either landmarks, triggers, spawners or decal.

I didn't notice any bugs, but with a revision editing 276 files of byond code, you never know.

EI NATH will once again gib the target.
Head Revs will get a failure message if they are unable to convert a human they flashed.
Syndie suits taken out of the station, EVA now has 6 Grey, Engineering gets two RIGs, Mining still has 3.
Engineering Rad suits also protect vs biological hazards a bit
Fixed a cult convert bug I made a few commits ago.
Steal a RIG objective removed.
SecSunglasses now have the hud built in.
Added more sprites for Kor

Explosions will delay a bit longer before allowing powernet rebuilds.
Removed the Ionstorm Command reports at Urist's request, he said he would add something later.
Added dust storms to meteor mode.
Fixed most of the runtimes in the latest log.
Wizards mind_transfer now needs his robes, this prevents the constant body swap mess.
Z 1 lost all of its areas sometime in the last two revs. I think I got everything back in place but would not mind if a mapper took a look.

Revisions to CentCom. CentCom now has its own access levels set, and a unique ID changing computer.
Added nasa void suit and captain armor to item steal list.
Fixed some run time errors for hand-tele from my previous commit.
Removed the remove poo and urine button from secrets.
Decoy AIs can now say stuff like regular AIs. This is useful if you need a non-player announcer for something, while taking into account talk_understand and the like. I use it for deathsquad shuttle announcements. I've placed A.L.I.C.E. on CentCom for such reasons.

Fixed teleporting randomly on clown planet z level (with hand tele). Probably won't work on extended but who cares.
Some misc improvements to code words.
Cut down on the amount of chloralhydrate in the sleepypen since it was fatal, apparently.
Fixed observing. Entry shuttle starts with less sleepers than before.
Some more wip stuff.

#Added a Halogen Counter function for engineering PDAs. Measures radiation of a mob.
#Brain/MMI code overhaul. Brains/MMIs should no longer screw up when the brain is deleted. MMIs should now properly eject from cyborgs if they are blown up, among other changes. Brains no longer die when transferred between containers but won't be able to speak without a container.
#Added a research MMI that comes with a radio built in. The brain can toggle the radio functions on or off via verb panel (MMI).
#Traitor code words will now use the crew roster for name generation 70% of the time.
#Ghostize() is now a lot more robust. If you need to throw someone into a ghost if they are killed/whatever, use it.
#Deleting a mob will now spawn a ghost for it through ghostize(), if it has a key, so you don't need to worry about that. You can null key people if you want to kick them out of the game.
#Ghost verbs are now in their own panel (Ghost). ghost() is the proc/verb that mobs get to turn into ghosts. ghostize() is now a proc only used through other procs.
#Changed how ninjas get their verbs. Long story short, wizards are now able to mind swap with ninjas. Stay hidden Snake! Also, more code improvements and additions to ninjas, including more fun for the AI.

Added a direction finding algorithm for target, get_dir_to(). Mostly useful for positioning sprites in relation to a target. Such as energy beams, lines, and so on.
Changes to ninjas. Fixed a bunch of bugs and finished content. It is now possible to drag people with you when phase jaunting/shifting. Jaunting/shifting should also kill livestock, huggers, and damage mechs.
Renamed /obj/spell path to obj/proc_holder/spell in order to have a generic proc_holder category. For now it only works for the AI but can be expanded to other mobs.

Added trigger spell, which basically activates two or more spells at once. Used that to fix fireball and blind to what they were pre-change (not code-wise, but the same for the end user).
Projectiles aren't limited to default spells now.
All spells now use a user argument (=usr by default) instead of usr.

Completely revamped the classes, it's even more streamlined now. Got a few bugs and tweaks (namely, blind doesn't work, fireball got buffed up as compensation for not dealing additional damage to the target), but it's okay, since nobody uses those anyway.
Fixed the bug with emagged borg laws.
