Comments for lighting:
Like sd_DAL (what we used to use), it changes the shading overlays of areas by splitting each type of area into sub-areas
by using the var/tag variable and moving turfs into the contents list of the correct sub-area.
Unlike sd_DAL however it uses a queueing system. Everytime we call a change to opacity or luminosity
(through SetOpacity() or SetLuminosity()) we are simply updating variables and scheduling certain lights/turfs for an
update. Actual updates are handled periodically by the lighting_controller. This carries additional overheads, however it
means that each thing is changed only once per lighting_controller.processing_interval ticks. Allowing for greater control
over how much priority we'd like lighting updates to have. It also makes it possible for us to simply delay updates by
setting lighting_controller.processing = 0 at say, the start of a large explosion, waiting for it to finish, and then
turning it back on with lighting_controller.processing = 1.
Unlike our old system there is a hardcoded maximum luminosity. This is to discourage coders using large luminosity values
for dynamic lighting, as the cost of lighting grows rapidly at large luminosity levels (especially when changing opacity
at runtime)
Also, in order for the queueing system to work, each light remembers the effect it casts on each turf. This is going to
have larger memory requirements than our previous system but hopefully it's worth the hassle for the greater control we
gain. Besides, there are far far worse uses of needless lists in the game, it'd be worth pruning some of them to offset
costs.
Known Issues/TODO:
admin-spawned turfs will have broken lumcounts. Not willing to fix it at this moment
mob luminosity will be lower than expected when one of multiple light sources is dropped after exceeding the maximum luminosity
Shuttles still do not have support for dynamic lighting (I hope to fix this at some point)
No directional lighting support. Fairly easy to add this and the code is ready.
When opening airlocks etc, lighting does not always update to account for the change in opacity.
Explosions now cause lighting to cease processing temporarily.
Moved controller datums to the code/controllers directory. I plan on standardising them.
"Master","Ticker","Lighting","Air","Jobs","Sun","Radio","Supply Shuttle","Emergency Shuttle","Configuration","pAI" controller datums can be accessed via the debug controller verb (used to be the debug master controller verb)
Supply shuttle now uses a controller datum. Shuttles tend to arrive up to 30 seconds late, this is not a bug.

I added a check to meteor and space dust Bump() directly because changing ex_act() on the machines themselves would make the machines immune to bombs and C4.
Hopefully fixes issue 716.
light/process() was added back in causing lights to use power as they were meant to. Recently lights have been made brighter causing more power to be drained. As a result the engineering APC would not last very long. The station using a lot of power is a good thing since the singularity produces an incredible amount of power, so to keep this higher power demand but still give engineers a fighting chance to set up the singularity, I've bumped up the engineering APC's starting battery power.

-Redid icons to be more optimized at compile by setting icon = 'icons/folder/icon.dmi' instead of just icon = 'icon.dmi', meaning that Dream Maker doesn't have to search through every single file for every single .dmi. This shouldn't lead to any errors because of how I went about it, plus the fact that Dream Maker would have freaked out if I screwed something up. Also moved around 2 icons that weren't sorted well.

Added a cooldown to the containment field shocking players
- If a containment field was set up in a small room, it was possible to crash the server by jumping into the field with no way to escape it. This was likely due to the hundreds of spark effects being generated every second, on top of all the other calls it had to make.
Used the existing parent proc to check for proximity, canmove and death on:
- Atmos pumps
- Atmos mixers
- Canisters. (This should finish off issue 397.)
- Crew monitering computer (This one probably didn't need it but it shouldn't change the way it works.)
Added admin checks to:
- datum/mind
- tensioner
If either of these fail an admin check an admin log will be entered into the server logs and a message will be displayed to admins.

Rewrote the job selection system to use bitflags and the jobs are now objects.
Fixed a path conflict with effect which caused a few things to be unable to be clicked on.
Commented out the job.txt, Urist if you still want it to load from the .txt give me a yell and I can update it to work with the job objects.
Fixed up the bits that were missing the slightly updated mob organ attack code.
Moved the traps file into unused.

/obj/effects is now /obj/effect.
/obj/station_objects is now /obj/structure.
Did a bit of minor blob work.
The Bay 12 body bags were replaced with closets because having two sets of code that do almost the same thing is silly.
Changed back a few of the last jobproc edits as the remove from list before assign was a check to see if the mob was fucked up and if it was remove it so we did not check it again as it would still be fucked up.
The medbay/tox monkeys names are random once more. More random name monkeys will help with changeling and clean up the observe/mob menus.

Note for coders: in order to help with seaching of health-related bugs I have moved many procs from /mob/ under /mob/living/.
Also, done some clean up and rearranging.
Results:
-admin rejuvenating now works again;
-people screams if getting creamated while still alive;
-diseases actually loose your health;
-monkeys wearing masks receive protection from acids as humans did;
-and other minor fixes and improvements.
Bugfix for imbuing a talisman.
RD now spawns with only 2 pens instead of 3.
Audible emotions can be heard by people outside of locker/other container.

North solars expanded slightly
Cargo can now order engine parts
Power computer wont update every second so you can actually use the thing now
Rotate verb for the emitters and Particle Accelerator
Solar tracker does not use "in world" anymore

Singularity Engine
-Recoded some parts, still works mostly the same
Welders
-Recoded, it works mostly the same but is easier to use in code
-Cyborgs have a larger fuel tank
-Brought most if not all of the areas that use welders upto spec
Moved the changeling chem recharge code into the human life proc
New players who log out before spawning in are now deleted
New minor Common event
Machines around the station use more power, system might need some changes later
Likely few other minor changes that I just cant think of atm
