- Cameras work properly even without power now.
- Reason for this is that:
1. Cameras were sometimes on space tiles, which had no power. Hacky fix (placing areas on space tiles) had to be used. However constructed cameras won't work.
2. Simply turning off APC power cuts AI's sight of that room. Harpy presumed this is always due to cell being drained (which would make the AI useless) but someone can also turn it off manually
3. If larger power failure (powersink?) occurs, AI is effectively blind. This technically kicks it from the round, as only thing it can do is stare on dark screen unless power is restored. Combined with problems caused by unstable power generation and excessive power usage which are currently on master, this is large issue.
Cycling the outpost airlocks should no longer take forever.
Connects one of the airlocks to a near empty air-canisters instead of the local air supply, should ensure the vents have to work less.
This solution not available for the station itself. Requires too much power.
- Explode verb is now available from round start. This ensures it works properly and won't disappear during 60 second time limit.
- Checks are moved into explode verb itself, so it works exactly as it used to work (read: It won't let you blow up station unless done within that 60s limit after takeover)
- Changed self destruct notifications a little. They now use radio messages instead of "world <<" which was ugly.
- If AI is killed within 10 second self-destruct countdown it is aborted. (Good luck)
Adds phase jaunt for a cost of 250 energy, compared to phase shift which costs 400E.
Randomly jumps the ninja 5-9 tiles straight ahead.
Cell use is now redacted directly in the ninjacost() proc.
Some cleanup of ninja verb-add/removal.
A ninja now uses proper glasses instead of using its own hack.
Fixed a bug that would override the old ninja-night vision unless one also wore additional glasses in the glasses-inventory slot.
Adds overlays to thermals and mesons as well. Slightly reduces the intensity of the night vision overlay.
-Supply and scrubber pipes can be run in parallel without connecting to each other
-Supply pipes will only connect to supply pipes, vents and Universal Pipe Adapters(UPAs)
-Scrubber pipes will only connect to scrubber pipes, scrubbers and UPAs
-Supply and scrubber pipes are offset along the x and y axes to prevent sprite overlap
-UPAs will connect to regular, scrubber and supply pipes, as well as anything else that connects to a regular pipe. UPAs will be used to interface between the supply/scrubber loops and atmos
There is potential for breaking out all the special stuff for laser code but for now I'm happy to simply have a shared codebase.
I imagine pathfinding/patrolling may be sharable with bots in general as well.
