* Laser pointers
Adds laser pointers, ported from tg/oldaurora (but heavily modified). They can be found in the loadout, as well as made by science. Science can also upgrade them, which makes them occasionally useful for blinding people, too.
The bugfixes which make several of the features work properly will come in a separate commit.
* Three fixes
Cats now have resting sprites for all 4 directions, instead of just east. This was needed to make cats look like they're pouncing on the laser dot.
Cameras can now be EMPed more than once, and EMPs actually are able to disable them now. This was needed for the shining lasers into cameras feature.
Flash_eyes() now actually displays a flashing animation on your screen when you get flashed (except for silicons, who for some reason are excluded from this unless EMPed). This was needed for laser pointers to have a temporary "blinding" effect when shone into someone's eyes.
(removes errant debug message too, whoops)
* Nerf
Reduced chances of laser pointers doing anything useful on silicons.
Also, fixes a duplicated proc, oops.
* Requested changes
Minor changes as requested - 'cell' to 'diode', view() to viewers(), range() to viewers().
Stops buckled or dead cats from reacting to laser pointers. Zombie cats are fun, but no.
Also, does another small nerf to the effects on silicons.
Positronic brains are already printable, so why not electronic brains? Requires a bit less research to make than posibrains, and uses no phoron or diamonds.
Mostly because the old radio-enabled MMIs were almost never used. Changes all MMIs and their subtypes (posi and drone brains) to have a radio inside of them, which can only be used when the brain is outside of a body. This radio can be used to talk over the common channel, in case you get left on a table somewhere by an absent-minded roboticist. However, the radio can also be disabled, in case an antag has you and doesn't want to to scream for help.
Since this makes the old radio-enabled MMIs obsolete, they're no longer printable(although it's still defined in the code so I don't have to touch the map file). Also fixes a telecomms runtime with brains talking over the radio.
- Added the hand drill and jaws of life to the protolathe
- Removed titanium from the hand drill and jaws of life
- Syndicate toolbox now comes with power tools
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.
Circuits generate a research design datum when the game starts up instead of me having to manually define them every time I make a new circuit. Hopefully this reduces missing circuits due to mistakes. The circuit box also spawns specific circuits using a similar method for similar reasons.
Other things this does:
Splits the reagent related manipulation circuits to their own category, which cleans up a few repeated New()s.
