First pass on major conversion of xenomorphs to a human subspecies. Additional condensing of various redundant mob verbs.
Converted larva and diona to their own class, collapsed the rest of xenomorphs into a human species, other stuff.
Completely removed attack_alien(). Still have to reimplement some of the lost behavior for human/alien.
Reapplies lost attack_alien() functionality other than tackling/caressing.
Further alien/humanoid cleanup and xenospawn fix-ups. Also uncommented caste verbs.
Removed half-finished abilities system since species.dm handles it.
All xenomorphs functionality should be working now, other than the HUD, tackling and the xenomorph balance issues.
Added icons for xenomorph castes, moved broadcast languages into datums, removed alien_talk and robot_talk vars.
Merged with organ removal code.
Reapplied verbs to simple_animals/slimes. Updated species definitions to have appropriate organs.
Readded tackle as a human verb.
Borer changes regarding brain removal.
Working on moving the human HUD to the species datum a bit. Mixed results.
Moved Cortical Link to a language, added borer husks.
Tidied up the HUD stuff. Still need to make it rebuild properly when species is changed, but this will do for no
Compile fix, forgot the DME.
Fixed up ventcrawl, added new organ mechanics for dionaea.
Fixed up some overlooked sections causing mobs without brains to die immediately.
Fixed up plasma generation for queens, bugs with organs, force_organ issues with set_species().
Created a helper proc /proc/is_mentor(client) use this when determining if someone is a mentor and they aren't the usr of the proc (rights_check uses usr)
Mentors will no longer hear ghosts while playing
Mentors will no longer see orange text around names in check_player_age panel if they have special_roles
Mentors will no longer be able to tell players with special roles through the use of player_panel
Mentors will no longer be able to aghost, use antagHUD, then return to their bodies.
They include such procs as sanitize_integer(num, min, max, default) which will check num is a number, round num to make it an integer, then check if it is between min and max (inclusive). If it fails the bound-checks it will return default. There are others, have a look.
PERSISTENT PREFERENCES: Every ckey which connects to the game gets its own persistent /datum/preferences datum.
It is archived in var/list/preferences_datums = list("ckey" = datum)
At connect it is automatically associated with the client defines.dm (or a new one is created if it can't find an archived prefs datum). This means clients will ALWAYS have a var/datum/preferences/prefs which references this datum. So you can use it without checking if(client.prefs)
This has simplified only a few bits of code. It will however, allow us to make preferences like see_deadchat ghost_ears etc, persistent. So they will not reset when you DC.
SAVEFILES: Changed the player savefile code a lot. Hopefully I've not fucked it up too much. Every single variable loaded from saves is now sanity checked using the new sanity procs. This should help prevent savefiles becomming obsolete by sanitizing input to meet current requirements, without deleting all the ok variables and making you start from scratch >_> NOTE: I still need to sort out the savefile version stuff. I'll probably figure it out before the server updates anyway. It sees to be fine without it.
You can no longer choose your blood type. It is randomised (with each bloodtype having a realistic probability of occuring). This is to make blood analysis (detective/medical) less pointless. It is chosen as soon as you connect. It remains persistent throughout each round so you won't be able to change it by logging in/out over and over.
Replaces some copypasta code with is_afk() (still a fair bit to do)
There are new hyperlink shortcut things. _src_=vars will direct your hyperlink to viewvars. _src_=prefs to your preferences datum. (These are the only way to access those bits of code via links). This means that the overall amount of operations in almost every Topic has pretty much halved and is much prettier.
Replaced and removed adminplayervars from datum/admins/Topic. It was superfluous. They now all point directly to the viewvars code using _src_=vars
Removed the changelog popup at round start. Instead a button on your game-window will glow white if there are new updates. To peruse at your convenience. This will speed up connect times.
Removed the AFK_THRESHOLD define. It is integrated into is_afk() now.
TODO: remove the prefs stuff from mobs and clients and update code to use client.prefs to access that info.

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.

>dd_replacetext and dd_replacetext_case are now replacetext and replacetextEx respectively.
>replacetext and replacetextEx works using strings only; it doesn't convert it into a list and then back into a string.
Fixes some dumb-dumbs in textlist and text2listEx
> "<" where there should be a "<="
> no else case for when the separator is longer than the text (causing empty lists to be returned)

/obj/admins is now /datum/admins because that's what datums are for you silly people
Moved var/datum/marked_datum from /obj/ to /datum/admins
admin datums are persistent throughout the round. They are stored in the var/list/admins rather than the ranks. This is so admin preferences may be moved into the datum to have them persist even after Login/Logout/Disconnects.
