- Ports TSA Newmalf code.
- Complete overhaul of Malfunction. New modular abilities, 12 of which are in game by default.
- Adds AI hardware. AI may have only one piece and it gives unique boost in certain area (turrets strength, secondary power supply, etc.)
- Adds hardware drivers - these abilities control AI's hardware such as the APU power supply or self destruct explosives.
- Station overtake was changed to "hack all APCs" ability instead. When completed self-destruct is unlocked. Timer for station self destruct increased to 2 minutes. AI may activate/deactivate the self destruct at will.
Please bear in mind this is only INITIAL COMMIT. More commits are to follow. Minimal player count is now set to 1 but will be 2 when finished.
Because single line of text is so easy to miss in spammed chat. Now it automatically shows output of show-laws verb which is significantly harder to miss.
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.
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.
We discovered that most of the problems were were having was because of BYOND passing lists (e.g. SE and UI) by-ref instead of the assumed by-val.
This commit adds dna.Clone() and (UI|SE).Copy() where needed. These should be used where DNA or SE/UI lists are COPIED, otherwise changes made in the reference will affect the real strand.
This change also messes with the gene activation logic.

DNA now stores blocks internally as numbers and only makes the uni_identity and struc_enzymes strings when something has changed. This is vastly more efficient.
In addition, the API for using it has been simplified. Common tasks, such as setting a sub-block, or getting a value from the block, are handled entirely by the DNA datum with simple, easy-to-use procs.
Tested on local server, but may need balancing and additional look-over since the code is from our server (/vg/) and I likely broke or forgot something.
