Malf is a terrible gamemode, the code is unmaintained, and it's not very fun for the crew or the AI. The AI can still be evil, and more effectively, as a traitor. At some point I plan to give traitorAIs some malf powers, but the malf mode needs to go, and I meant to do this literally a year ago.
Ninja will no longer be votable, because one ninja cannot carry the round. The age of solo-antags is coming to an end, because solo-antagonists have been proven to be ineffective, and place massive pressure on the person playing the antag. It also makes it difficult to balance one person to be able to fight the whole station without it being shit for the station or shit for the antag. To fix that, Ninja is no longer a solo-antag. The other ninja modes like Intrigue and Visitors remain, as the ninja should have more breathing room, since other baddies exist.
Adds what I hope to be able to make a sort of intelligent system that in the future will be able to decide what event would be the best to choose at any given moment. A lot of this will probably get rewritten later.
You can use the new debug verb Show GM Status to have it show some data about itself, such as player activity across the whole server.
Currently, the system cannot actually run any events, as they don't exist and it's been disabled. The plan is to have the events themselves do most of the heavy lifting for stuff like set-up and weights.
When the overarching system is more refined, a lot of new events will be madem and most of our old ones will be ported, and improved upon too.
For now, adding this lets me see what the system thinks about a round that has people playing on it and not just me on a test server.
Changes some magic numbers to be bigger magic numbers, in the hopes that more stuff happens during a low-pop round, and that some rare events like drones and meteors will fire more often.
Adds a new type of turf, which is a cracked asteroid floor. It is functionally a space tile, which means air can escape through the cracks and into the void. These cracks can be plugged by building a floor over them using rods and tiles. The cracks are generated randomly along with the asteroid whenever a floor is placed, with a 1 in 10 chance of it being a cracked floor.
