Error found by Cadyn. We're using a database to keep track of admins, so we are using the database system, but the database system does not load from the admin_ranks file, so no admin ranks are being loaded at all.
Decided to move it out of the legacy system if statement and just force it to load before deciding if its legacy or database.
Adds a config option MENTORS which sets the variable config.mods_are_mentors
Adds a rights level of R_MENTOR which gets msay, private message, aghost, notes, and a new proc for checking for new players (requires database support).
If the confic option for mentors is set then
the ckeys listed in moderators.txt file will instead be set as mentors, you can still make moderators by adding them in admins.txt
staffwho will show Mentors instead of Moderators as the heading above the listing of non-admins.
Also: Players now get a message gently reminding them to click the name of the staff member to reply instead of ahelping over and over.
CR+LF added to new lines, created a global variable log_end that can be used
on newlines
log_misc("blahblah...[log_end]\nMoreblahblah[log_end]")
put [log_end] prior to any \n and it will show up correctly in windows.
Also created log_misc() proc to log to diary, and removed a bunch of
diary << stuff all over the place.
Current hooks are "startup", "roundstart", and "roundend".
Most stuff in world/New() has been moved over to the startup hook.
Roundstart and roundend have no hooks yet.
Removed the unused "newbanjob.dm" file and associated verbs/topics.
Bumped RECOMMENDED_VERSION up to 501.

Player panel (for an individual mob) is available to all admins regardless of rights (like above, each link on the page has its own rights requirements)
Essentially, with no rights you can see these panels, but you cannot use most of the tools they link to. Additional rights increase your access to corresponding tools.
Removed some duplicate code in /datum/admins/Topic for subtle messages, traitor panel and a few others. There's a lot more to do in this regard but it can wait for now.
We're near the end of the disruption now. I sort of have a clear idea what I'm meant to be doing so work will speed up. Full documentation describing exactly what can and can't be done with each flag will be available soon.

Moved fun (admin-event stuff) up to badmin rank.
deadchat visibility defaults to on
removed update_admin()
fixed associate so it won't accidentally add people to the admins list multiple times.
toggling ooc on/off is now available to any admin regardless of rights.
mass deletion is now restricted to DEBUG or SERVER flags
ADMIN, SERVER, DEBUG can all use the delete verb

- Fixed pulse rifle, energy sword, blackhole and mob spawning
- Fixed 'reload admins' not properly updating the 'admins' list, which made adminwho fail, along with some other things.
- Fixed a bug, which prevented admin from even being loaded properly in some circumstances, in the database admin system.

- Standardized the database library code
- Deleted a few unused database related files (karma and forum activation), so they won't get in my way later. They work off of no longer existent database tables.
- Made it so the server maintains a constant connection with the database, which is established on world/New() and never broken, until the server ends. If 5 consecutive database connection attempts result in no connection getting established, the server will not attempt any more connections. Made all existing database connections use the global continuous connections. Currently we need two, as we have two databases, but the old database is going to get moved into the new one.
- Fixed the spaghetti-like report in the permissions panel, which happened when someone had many permissions enabled.
- Added database connection reports to display to dream daemon on server startup.

- Moved 'reload admins' into the SERVER permission. It already had a check for R_SERVER when it was run, so it being in the debug list was likely a typo. There should probably be an ADVANCEDADMIN permission type or something, that contains the admin-related tools that you don't want all admins to have access to. A 'game masters only' list of verbs, so to speak.
- Edited admin_ranks.txt and the other dm files accordingly.
- Standardized diagnostics.dm
PS: I really love permission based admin verb assignment. So much easier to work with!

SERVER HOSTS:
This commit replaces the existing admin-rank system. It is now more customizable.
Admin.txt essentially works the same as it always has. Each line should look like:
ckey - admin rank
There is now however, an admin_ranks.txt. This textfile allows you to define ranks like so:
admin rank +ADMIN +FUN +BUILD
the +KEYWORD are flags adding permissions to that rank. There are brief descriptions in the text-file explaining what they do.
You can now name the ranks anything you like, and give them the permissions you want them to have. This allows, for instance, ranks like:
Game Admin on disciplinary +ADMIN +BAN
This would give that game admin only the tools they need to admin. They would not have access to 'fun' verbs which control events and antags.
There's lots of things you can do. For instance, a coder rank whom can debug stuff but cannot do admin tasks:
Codermin +DEBUG +VAREDIT +SERVER
There's lots you can do. As it evolves it will hopefully become more flexible.
admin_ranks.txt defaults to use the old admin rank names.
Apologies in advance as there will be a lot of anomalies, such as ranks losing verbs they once had. Please let me know about any problems. I can fix them quite easily simply by moving verbs between the lists or splitting the lists up into new flags.
CODERS:
There is now a check_rights(flags) proc.
It check is usr is and admin and has -at least one of- the rights specified.
It checks > usr < not src, so keep that in mind!
If you need to check if something other than usr has specific tights, you can do if(holder.rights & R_ADMIN) etc.
KNOWN ISSUES:
+FUN probably needs to be split up into +MOBS and +EVENTS
In-game promotion/demotion is currently disabled. It will be readded after everything else works ok.
Erro's sql rights changes stuff is currently commented out. It will be re-added.
There are still many many verbs which need updating.
Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.
