Malf overhaul, take two!
Waaaay back in the old days, I made it so malf AIs had to hack APCs to win, instead of just sit AFK for 45 minutes. Now I'm taking some more drastic action, to see what happens.
THE MALF AI NO LONGER SPAWNS ON THE AI SAT.
Instead of sitting in the AI sat hoping nobody notices your blatantly obvious hacking, at which point the 3 people lucky enough to have looted EVA get to have all the fun, you can now shunt your core processes into an APC you have hacked, and hacked APCs are only moderately obvious.
While shunted into an APC, the AI draws power from that APC instead of the one in their main core. If the APC loses power, the AI loses power as normal. If the APC they are in is damaged or destroyed, they are forced back into their main core. If the main core is inoperative at that time, they die. The AI is also capable of willingly going back to their main core. As long as the AI's main core is intact, the AI speaks out of its core, regardless of its current location.
I have tested as much of this as I could to make sure it is functional, but thanks to the game mode overhaul, I have been unable to run actual malf rounds on my test server, so I have had to cheat and set things to work in any mode for testing. As for actual round balance, there's no real way to predict how that shit'll change.
This is just the base overhaul, more changes will be forthcoming as malf rounds provide data on how the change performs.

Rewrote the job selection system to use bitflags and the jobs are now objects.
Fixed a path conflict with effect which caused a few things to be unable to be clicked on.
Commented out the job.txt, Urist if you still want it to load from the .txt give me a yell and I can update it to work with the job objects.
Fixed up the bits that were missing the slightly updated mob organ attack code.
Moved the traps file into unused.

/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.
git-svn-id: http://tgstation13.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2324 316c924e-a436-60f5-8080-3fe189b3f50e
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.

-Right click commands "Make robot/alien/ai/monkey" moved to "edit player" screen.
-Right click commands "Make traitor/cultist/changeling/etc" moved to "edit mind" screen.
-- note: currently the only way to humanize monkey is to use "edit mind" screen.
-Added right click commands showing "edit player" and "edit memory" screens.
In light of an incoming tournament on ss13.ru I have added "Select equipment" right click command. It allows to instantly dress mob as you wish. Coders, feel free to add more dress packs, like "centcom inspector", "space pirate" and so on.
A strange command "list_occ" now called "List free slots" and shows unoccupied jobs.
Added golden cup, sprite belongs to Farart.
You can now take a power cell from charger even if there is no power.

I have done lots of work to make selecting players for special roles be fair.
- New options preferences: "be traitor", "be changeling" and so on for all special roles.
- Now you can have job of AI/cyborg in preferences and do not lower your chances to become wizard/changeling/etc. And vice-versa: you do not have to select AI in your preferences to have non zero chance to play malf.
- Jobban from syndicate bans player from any special role (including malf AI, cult, etc).
- Fixed bug with changeling round not ending sometimes.
- All special roles were tuned to work better as admin-driven event.
-- All adminmade special characters will be listed at the end of round of any type.
-- All adminmade special characters are fully functional with following exceptions:
--- The ending conditions are determined at round start, i.e. you cannot end revolution by killing wizards and malf AIs (however, with nuke you can end anything).
--- The cultists cannot get their special objectives.
--- The malf AI can hack the APCs but without any profit.
--- The syndicate operatives must obtain the nuke/working code from admins.
--- As before, nuclear explosion ends round. Even if nuke was used in wrong place.
- Fixed thingy like "Not enough players for revolution game mode. Restarting world in 5 seconds."
- Changeling wont get objective "absorb X genomes" when there are less that X players in game.
- proc/equip_if_possible now has return value, procs like equip_revolutionary (giving a flash) should be more reliable.
- There are no fake wizards anymore. The research staff have to kill ALL wizards on order to win, even adminspawned ones. ("give spell" verb works as before, not making a spellcaster to actually be wizard).
- The semi-new game mode: traitor+changeling. Just like regular traitor mode plus one changeling. Round ends when the shuttle reaches centcom. Option for config.txt: "PROBABILITY TRAITORCHAN".
- Successful malf AI now have 60 seconds to choose to explode the station or not (some players still have to rejoin game to have their new verbs shown in Malfunction tab).
- Monkeys mode fixed, monkeys wouldn't randomly cure anymore.
For admins:
- New powerful mind editor oriented to mixed rounds.
-- Setting someone as special character (like wizard) does not equip him/her automatically. You have to do it it next step. Note, that in case of wizards and nuke operatives their old dress will be deleted! If you do not want it you shall use "undress" link.
-- Only operatives, head revs and cultists have their objectives set immediately.
-- You can unemad borgs!
-- You cannot unemag borgs because calling mind editor for nonhumans is blocked atm.
-- many other useful features.
-- you can fix burned out flashes from mind editor.
-- first assign the new malf AI/wizard then demalf/dewizard old one or round will immediately end.
- if delete the nuke bomb during its downcounting round will stuck. Using "edit ticker variables" set ticker.mode.explosion_in_progress = 0.
For coders:
- /datum/game_mode/malfunction/AI_Module renamed to /datum/AI_Module. Reason: What. The. Fuck.
Unrelated fixes:
- Blueprints can create areas up to 300 tiles (was 100).
- Cyborgs wont leave backpacks at spawn point anymore.
- Fixed bug in preferences causing preferences files to be huge.
- Diseases can infect again.
- The option "SQL_ENABLED 0" now works in config.txt.
- fixed critical bug on assassinate objective.
Bugs:
- We have a bug with job distribution for people who haven't any available jobs in their preferences. Players tends to group by jobs.
- For example, if we have 3 players they with hight chances will got same jobs. And probability of having one engineer and one medic _exactly_ equals _zero_.
- I am not sure if my changes made that bug worse. Anyway I MUST do this commit. Bug will be fixed eventually. Maybe.

#Added a locked list to datacore in order to track character spawn, particularly for respawn_character(). May be useful in the future.
#Added a proc to randomize appearance for any human mob, randomize_appearance_for(mob). It will not take into account gender as you will have to provide it. Names and so on are also randomized but that can be overwritten in the code following.
#Added AI holopads around the station. To use as the AI: click on the pad to center view on it. Click again to activate the hologram. Move it with the directional keys. You can still interact with objects normally. To remove it, either move it too far out or click the pad again. Use robot talk to directly speak through the holopad (and only the holopad, unlike regular robot speak). Could be added on to (like different images for different AIs) but it's basically finished.
#Fixed a bugged message on changeling transformation sting. It will no longer give away your identity.
#Made law datum a silicon define. var/datum/ai_laws/laws.
#A few more ninja adjustments. Added a new view mode for the ninja mask, allowing to see special roles and a few other things.

Fixed PDA flashlight.
To clarify, you can still use the PDA when you are stunned/weakened. This was always the case, apparently. You cannot use the PDA when knocked out or dead.
You can now stick an ID card into a PDA without clicking 400 times (click on PDA with card in hand).
Changed how the ninja suit functions in relation to energy. It will now hold a power cell as APCs/Borgs/etc.
Ninjas can now replace their starting power cell (reduced to high capacity/10000) with larger capacities. Drain the cell as normal to do it. On that note, hyper-capacity (30k) cells added to research.
Can now drain energy from a recharger. Much like draining from wire.
Added cooldown to certain ninja abilities. It is a global cooldown; meaning, most abilities will be unusable until it finishes. Usually a second.
Some icon changes for ninjas.

Reworked energy charging to where it's probably bug free and much easier to edit.
Reworked PDA code so it's much faster and easier to use. Might have some bugs left over.

Code cleanup on some ninja+misc stuff.
Slightly faster energy recharge rate for ninjas.
Likely fixed the wizard/nuke operatives/MODE appearing in the Cent Com report.
Added a trio of hidden functions to ninja suit. Use with care!
I'm also removing myself as a committer.

Consequences:
- They cannot enter eachother's office (Except for HoP's office, which retains heads/bridge access)
- They cannot steal eachother's stuff so easily
- The borg blowing console is safe from the HoP's ugly fingers
- The hypospray is also safe from the HoP's fingers. (Both only until he grants himself full access, obviously)
- Commit includes commented out ion storm code and not-commented-out ion_act procs.

Added sanitize() to naming the buffers in DNA machine and to alien whispering.
Added 0.5 sec timeout for BANG BANG.
Added drinking glasses to the Dinnerware vending machine.
Update from Nikie:
Verb Reload Admins rereads admins.txt
Parameter sql_enabled in config. Prevents spam when sql is not installed.
NOTE FOR HOSTERS: it is currently ON in code (i.e. behavior is unchanged yet), you have to add SQL_ENABLED to your config.txt during next week. Thanks for your attention.
Fixed "Delay" command.
Messages for help intent are gender-aware now.

Added a new reagent proc (trans_id_to) to transfer a specific reagent from a list to the target.
Finished SpiderOS. If anyone plans to revise PDA code, or maybe do something similar, I highly recommend looking at the SpiderOS verb first.
Ninjas may now drain energy from exposed wires, ala a powersink. It takes longer than APCs to begin charging and drains slower.
Misc bug fixes and improvements.

#Private lockers can now be sliced open with the ninja sword.
#Added a SpiderOS verb to the ninja suit when initialized. It acts as a lite PDA with some unique features. If I had more time, I would revise the existing PDA system to follow the format of SpiderOS which would make the former run a lot faster.
#Added an adrenaline boost ability for the ninja suit. It will near instantly remove paralysis/stun/etc but has only three uses.
#Added ninja stars ability. Ranged projectiles, the user randomly picks a target from nearby living enemies. Projectile itself is wip.
#Maximum charge for the suit is 30000, or 300%.
#More names for ninja name gen.

#As an added bonus, voice-changers will protect from flash. Can be easily removed if needed.
#Added more recharge locations for ninjas: cells, smes, and cyborgs.
#Recharge changed so that it takes less time but recharges for less.
#Adamantine sprites per request.
#Updated Ripley sprites per request(?).

#Most ninja suit abilities will not be available unless the suit is initialized (such as stealth and the alike).
#Ninja suit now comes with a basic energy system. It begins with 10000 and depletes 5 energy/tick. Having an energy blade depeletes +20 energy. Having stealth active depelets +25 energy.
#Ninjas start with 10 smoke bombs. When used they are gone forever.
#Other abilities now require and use energy.
#Recovering energy is possible by clicking on APCs with an empty hand, ~1000e/5 seconds. There is no battery energy limit. Plan to add more ways to get energy later.

Welders that are on but not in use use fuel more slowly than before, when actively welding, fuel use rate increases to roughly 4 times what the previous rate was. This allows for an average of 4 regular walls to be cut through before refueling is needed, based on my testing. Shorter-length welding tasks will allow for more uses between refuels.
Also cleaned up a few things that still used the "click welder at thing, lose x units of fuel" code.

electrocution:
while breaking a light: chance quartered, damage quartered
vendomats and autolathe: damage reduced by 30%
hacking an apc: chance reduced
In general electrocution was nerfed a bit. Now you shouldn't be instacrited by grille/airlock unless someone wired engine directly to the power grid.

- New "empulse" proc. Works similarly to "explode" proc. It triggers the "emp_act" proc on everything within range. emp_act are effects similar or identical to the effects of the emp grenade. Any major changes to emp effects listed below. Note: EMPs now affect items in your backpack.
- New admin right-click command: EM Pulse. You can create an empulse at the desired location with a size you choose. Similar to Explosion command.
- disable device spell, emp grenade, and disable tech rune all use empulse now.
- New "disable device" spell datum added.
- EMP'ed gas canisters no longer drain the station of power.
- When a borg is EMP'ed, all objects in their module get their emp_act proc triggered.

My updates:
-Alert Computer ( as seen in CE's office and bridge) renamed to Station Alert Computer. Object path altered to reflect this change (formerly computer/atmospherics/alerts, now computer/station_alert)
-Circuit board changed to reflect above alteration. Renamed as well (also easier to figure out what it goes to with the new name)
-Alert Computer added to atmospherics.
-Alert computer will now report on power failures on the station.
-Alert computer will now flash red (similar to atmos alert computer) when an alert is present.
-General Alert computer renamed to Atmospheric Alert Computer. Same as changes to alert computer, however there was no circuit board to fix.
-Fixed bug in which APCs were not properly clearing power alerts for the AI and alert computers.
-Fixed a bug in which atmos alert computers were not properly updating icon_state-wise on a power change (they would just vanish). This bug also affected the updated station alert computer, but as I said this has been resolved.
I think that's it on my updates.
Errorage's updates are to the mining station and construction area. He vanished on IRC so I can't get him to cough up more details and I need sleep, so he can comment on this if he wants.

If you look at your PDA window, there should be an option to stick an ID in, like with some computers.
While carrying an ID, a PDA can be used for almost everything an ID can.
While ID scanners can read cards through a PDA, it is difficult to shove a PDA into the ID slot on some computers.
It is possible I missed some functions, but I was quite thorough in my sweep through the code.
In the event of PDA destruction, any inserted ID is ejected unharmed.
It is now possible to stick PDAs in your jumpsuit's ID slot.
Since PDAs are named, you can disguise yourself as someone else using one.
Beepsky/ED-209 can see through a PDA disguise if you stick your real ID in for access.

Machine Overload and Reactivate Camera now only work on the appropriate items. Making the verb only show up on the proper items is a far more intensive (if even possible) effort.
The Blackout module is now more likely to hit areas that previous attempts failed to overload. (30% chance first attempt, 60% chance second attempt, 90% chance third attempt, 120% chance forth attempt, etc)
Moved the module picker verb to the Malfunction tab.

The AI now has to actually do stuff to win!
Malf AIs now have the ability to hack APCs.
The timer does not start until at least one station APC is hacked.
The hack takes 60 seconds (give or take lag), and the AI is unable to interact with other objects during the process.
The more APCs you hack, the faster the timer goes.
This change is very much experimental, and subject to change/being erased from the annals of time.
