Instability should now feel more responsive and less sluggish to go away. Instead of it being removed at a semi-random and slow rate, it now has a semi-defined half life of about 46 seconds (IE 100 instability will be around 50 in 46 seconds). The radiate pulse now occurs every Life() tick as well, and by extension the light radius update, so you should be able to see your purple halo adjust faster.
This unfortunately necessitated tweaking to the strength of instability events. Instability events should happen more often to compensate for it going away faster. It may need to be tweaked further.
Instability Glow (IE radiating) now radiates the instability decayed in the Life() tick instead of a third of the current instability. This means people have more time to get out of the purple light before they start glowing themselves. Two glowing people tend to equalize their instability if adjacent for awhile, while a third person can cause runaway instability, as normal.
Glowing now starts at 10 instability instead of 30.
Technomancer cores show the instability delta in their stat panel.
Message for standing in purple made bigger and purple-er.
Fixes bug with certain spells which waited for the effect to go off before qdeling the hand item.
Fixes leftover Xenobio tests in example map defines.
* Sound Improvements
Ported some sounds from TG. I was getting sick of the current pistol
sound. Didn't sound meaty enough so I changed it.
I also didn't like the default gun firing sound so I changed that too.
I also brought in a couple more sound files from TG just in case those
ever get used. No use for them currently.
While I was at it, I fixed the incorrect naming of some sound files in
audible_deception.dm for Technomancers because I was editing the file
anyway and a separate PR would make conflicts.
* I forgot to press save on this one
I tend to do that a lot
* Laser sound too.
* Adds back commented out code because reasons
Adds toolspeed var, which is a multiplier on how 'fast' the tool works. 0.5 means it goes twice as fast.
Adds usesound var, which determines what sound is used when a tool is being used.
Changes a lot of code to use those two vars instead.
Adds 'ayyy' tools, which are ported from /tg/'s abductor gamemode. They're currently admin only but I might make them obtainable by xenoarch later.
Adds powertools, also from /tg/. CE starts with them in a new toolbelt that spawns in their locker, ported from (you guessed it) /tg/.
Changes welder sprites to look nicer, ported yet again from /tg/. Modified the blue welder slightly so it can be the electric welder sprite.
Adds various sounds from /tg/, for tools and welders.
* A preface to my madness
Travis failed one of my PR's because I copied old code
that used /red /blue /green.
Because of this, I am going to find and replace every
instance of it that I find.
Also this is a test commit to make sure I'm comitting
to the correct branch.
* /blue /green /red replacements
Dear god.
A slow and painful death from acid is more fun than this.
I wouldn't wish this torture on my worst enemy.
And this is only the beginning
* Replace part 2.
Time to fix the human error.
* Fixes mismatches
* Sets macro count to 220
One above the current number of macros in the code.
* Fixes last of the mismatches.
* Removes spaces, replaces \black
Removes spaces
Replaces \black in a few areas where seen
Replaces \bold with <B> </B> where seen
* Updating macro count again
* More fixes!
* Issues fixed! For real this time!
I swear!
* Fixing all the merge conflict files.
Sprites replaced with a black box that could conceivably contain a brain, while obscuring the details. Complete with screen and convenient handle.
Usage text modified to make sense for MMIs/posibrains, instead of just drone brains (e.g. downloaded → transferred).
Description added to the new intelliCores. Made into normal-sized item, similar to MMIs/posibrains.
This is an alternative to either changing lore to allow for brain uploading, or changing code to allow for choosing multiple AI brain types.
Changes the name to make it more obvious to players what the gamemode is, as I'm told that it might be confusing and make people think it's ninja+traitor.
* Okay evidently walk_to(A, B) doesn't stop when A reaches B, but keeps running in the background forever until it is manually canceled! Therefore in order to be garbage collected, we must cancel walking on any object that might have initiated it.
* Fixes this on chemsmoke and spiders.
* The same story applies to walk_towards; fixed for dust, meteors and immovablerod, and also to walk_away; fixed for flashbangs.
* Also fixed chemsmoke actually getting qdeled at the right time.
* Hooks up informing Master the gameticker actually starts and stops the round subsystems will actually fire! What ho!
* We should convert the gameticker as an MC subsystem someday, and probably completely rewrite it while we are at it becuase it is crazy. But this should bridge the gap until then.
* Creating new objects is cheap, in fact comparable to the cost of getting it out of the pool, so it doesn't help there.
* Placing items in the pool is far more expensive than letting them garbage collect due to the resetting of vars and such.
