I personally like to imagine we live in a world where 'eject' is not a synonym for 'annihilate'.
Just makes the sound the railguns play when empty be a var, and makes them ACTUALLY eject the magazine instead of just deleting it (copypaste error probably, from the magnetic type, which does that).
Ghosts now have a verb "Join Into Soulcatcher" that lists all players, and they can pick one to ask them if they can join into their SC. If they don't have one, it notifies the ghost (this is less expensive than trying to crunch who has a soulcatcher and shortening the list. You can just deal with it okay??). You cannot get backed up if you joined this way, like there's no way to move from being a ghost to being in someone's head to being in a mob. You'd need to ghost and respawn normally. (This is intentional... no sneaky no-manifest people getting in).
And various other SC QOL things:
- Adds NMe and NSay verbs when you get a soulcatcher installed so you can use them in the text parser at the bottom of the window or click them in the verb list like a crazy person. The older emotes also still work.
- Prevents 'loop of madness' where both pred and prey have soulcatchers and it floods your log as it tries to decide who catches who
- Removes minds if the client is disconnected for a long time, or if the player ghosts out of the NIF
* Adds defines for world.tick_usage
* This provides no useful benefit whatsoever, but /tg and Baystation12 have done it, so it will make porting future code easier if we do too. No real harm done either.
This improves the issue of player mobs using excessive CPU every Life() tick.
* Testing determined the worst performance was actually the manipulation of the "healths" HUD doll's overlays.
* Switching to using a mutable_appearance helps quite a bit for little effort.
Wow, this ran out super fast. You get like 2 minutes of use, jeez. This makes it much longer. You also get a % heat sunk thing next to it in the NIF menu so you can see how far along you are.
Or how Woodrat spent too long on something that was supposed to be simple.
- Addition of a Explorer Radio Channel and headsets.
- Explorers and Search and Rescue job slots added
- Adjustments to the pilot job including getting rid of the flatcap
- Map fixes, adjustments, (including signs pointing to cryo) planetside side map additions splitting up of the wilderness into two area sections
- Disabled lighting on the arrivals shuttle area once it is docked with the station, should help with the whole issue of lighting bugging out and having dark space
- Fixed EMS jacket missing icons
- Fixed Research signs being missing for some reason, addition of directional signs for cryo
- Addition of a Search and Rescue Winter coat
- Probably a dozen other small bug fixes I forgot, and bug additions
Tested, seems fine. At least in short tests.
