Adds a config option MENTORS which sets the variable config.mods_are_mentors
Adds a rights level of R_MENTOR which gets msay, private message, aghost, notes, and a new proc for checking for new players (requires database support).
If the confic option for mentors is set then
the ckeys listed in moderators.txt file will instead be set as mentors, you can still make moderators by adding them in admins.txt
staffwho will show Mentors instead of Moderators as the heading above the listing of non-admins.
Also: Players now get a message gently reminding them to click the name of the staff member to reply instead of ahelping over and over.
CR+LF added to new lines, created a global variable log_end that can be used
on newlines
log_misc("blahblah...[log_end]\nMoreblahblah[log_end]")
put [log_end] prior to any \n and it will show up correctly in windows.
Also created log_misc() proc to log to diary, and removed a bunch of
diary << stuff all over the place.
Also fixed some grammar in the station blueprint code.

Current hooks are "startup", "roundstart", and "roundend".
Most stuff in world/New() has been moved over to the startup hook.
Roundstart and roundend have no hooks yet.
Removed the unused "newbanjob.dm" file and associated verbs/topics.
Bumped RECOMMENDED_VERSION up to 501.

Added in code to debug ZAS tile interactions, currently in the unchecked "Debug" file.
The blasted FloodFill proc now works properly, and zones are connecting right (Should finally fix that damn part of medbay not connecting to the hallway)
Plasma can contaminate again.
The master controller and world startup code has been reworked for faster server boots.
Fixed a runtime originating from a Away Mission map trying to create objects of type "null"
fixed giveruntimelog getruntimelog and getserverlog
Any admin with ADMIN rights can give anybody permission to view runtimes simply by typing .giveruntimelog The person given permission can then type .getruntimelog
Admins can type .getruntimelog without giving themselves permissions first
Moved a lot of the copypasta code into helper procs in __HELPERS/files.dm. There is one which allows a client to browse through folders on the server (in this case to look for logfiles). You can now also return to the directory you started at.
Note, for some weird reason, runtimes will no longer show in dreamdeamon. If this is a massive problem I can make it a compile option or something (or you can comment out the line if you're a coder). I know this is a massive pain but it sort of removes much of the effort in getting runtimes from other servers, since they all now have their runtimes saved in a way coders can easily access. It also sort of means we don't have to rely on people remembering to log runtimes and such. And all logs will be organised by month.

Improvements to Telecomms. I wasn't happy with my relays and having telecomms send several messages on different Z levels was not effecient. I decided to overcome this by removing the need to attach Broadcasters and Transmitters to relays. Then I made relays just add to the signal data which z levels the message will be broadcasted on, instead of sending the message several times. It's a bit hard to explain but basically it should be better then ever, and adding more relays will not create serious performance issues. Since you can't control whether the Z level could only receive messages or only send them, I added options on the relay itself so you can set it. I then made an additional feature, which Nodrak gave me the idea for, which is that busses can change the frequency of a signal. It's an option on the Bus and you can set it to change the signal's frequency, which can create hilarious situations such as the command channel being redirected to the general channel. No way to duplicate a signal with a different frequency at the moment.
Since relays earlier depended on a stupid system in order to become a off-site relay, I instead just made it limited to the satellite Z level, which makes more sense.
Broadcasters and Receivers are linked to the HUB, but it's still possible to create a simple telecommunication system with a "Receiver -> Bus -> Processer -> Broadcaster" (though it will be slow)
OTHER
Smartfridge limit was lowered to 999, just below the infinite loop check limit. This is to prevent further issues that may occure.
Moved creating some icon datums above the SQL procs, just to make sure that the SQL itself isn't sleeping and causing issues with the datums being used before being loaded.

I did find that your be special preferences, i.e: be alien, be traitor, be changeling and etc, are shared between preferences. I'll ask if this is intentional or not.
-Some minor stuff.

They include such procs as sanitize_integer(num, min, max, default) which will check num is a number, round num to make it an integer, then check if it is between min and max (inclusive). If it fails the bound-checks it will return default. There are others, have a look.
PERSISTENT PREFERENCES: Every ckey which connects to the game gets its own persistent /datum/preferences datum.
It is archived in var/list/preferences_datums = list("ckey" = datum)
At connect it is automatically associated with the client defines.dm (or a new one is created if it can't find an archived prefs datum). This means clients will ALWAYS have a var/datum/preferences/prefs which references this datum. So you can use it without checking if(client.prefs)
This has simplified only a few bits of code. It will however, allow us to make preferences like see_deadchat ghost_ears etc, persistent. So they will not reset when you DC.
SAVEFILES: Changed the player savefile code a lot. Hopefully I've not fucked it up too much. Every single variable loaded from saves is now sanity checked using the new sanity procs. This should help prevent savefiles becomming obsolete by sanitizing input to meet current requirements, without deleting all the ok variables and making you start from scratch >_> NOTE: I still need to sort out the savefile version stuff. I'll probably figure it out before the server updates anyway. It sees to be fine without it.
You can no longer choose your blood type. It is randomised (with each bloodtype having a realistic probability of occuring). This is to make blood analysis (detective/medical) less pointless. It is chosen as soon as you connect. It remains persistent throughout each round so you won't be able to change it by logging in/out over and over.
Replaces some copypasta code with is_afk() (still a fair bit to do)
There are new hyperlink shortcut things. _src_=vars will direct your hyperlink to viewvars. _src_=prefs to your preferences datum. (These are the only way to access those bits of code via links). This means that the overall amount of operations in almost every Topic has pretty much halved and is much prettier.
Replaced and removed adminplayervars from datum/admins/Topic. It was superfluous. They now all point directly to the viewvars code using _src_=vars
Removed the changelog popup at round start. Instead a button on your game-window will glow white if there are new updates. To peruse at your convenience. This will speed up connect times.
Removed the AFK_THRESHOLD define. It is integrated into is_afk() now.
TODO: remove the prefs stuff from mobs and clients and update code to use client.prefs to access that info.

- Standardized the database library code
- Deleted a few unused database related files (karma and forum activation), so they won't get in my way later. They work off of no longer existent database tables.
- Made it so the server maintains a constant connection with the database, which is established on world/New() and never broken, until the server ends. If 5 consecutive database connection attempts result in no connection getting established, the server will not attempt any more connections. Made all existing database connections use the global continuous connections. Currently we need two, as we have two databases, but the old database is going to get moved into the new one.
- Fixed the spaghetti-like report in the permissions panel, which happened when someone had many permissions enabled.
- Added database connection reports to display to dream daemon on server startup.

SERVER HOSTS:
This commit replaces the existing admin-rank system. It is now more customizable.
Admin.txt essentially works the same as it always has. Each line should look like:
ckey - admin rank
There is now however, an admin_ranks.txt. This textfile allows you to define ranks like so:
admin rank +ADMIN +FUN +BUILD
the +KEYWORD are flags adding permissions to that rank. There are brief descriptions in the text-file explaining what they do.
You can now name the ranks anything you like, and give them the permissions you want them to have. This allows, for instance, ranks like:
Game Admin on disciplinary +ADMIN +BAN
This would give that game admin only the tools they need to admin. They would not have access to 'fun' verbs which control events and antags.
There's lots of things you can do. For instance, a coder rank whom can debug stuff but cannot do admin tasks:
Codermin +DEBUG +VAREDIT +SERVER
There's lots you can do. As it evolves it will hopefully become more flexible.
admin_ranks.txt defaults to use the old admin rank names.
Apologies in advance as there will be a lot of anomalies, such as ranks losing verbs they once had. Please let me know about any problems. I can fix them quite easily simply by moving verbs between the lists or splitting the lists up into new flags.
CODERS:
There is now a check_rights(flags) proc.
It check is usr is and admin and has -at least one of- the rights specified.
It checks > usr < not src, so keep that in mind!
If you need to check if something other than usr has specific tights, you can do if(holder.rights & R_ADMIN) etc.
KNOWN ISSUES:
+FUN probably needs to be split up into +MOBS and +EVENTS
In-game promotion/demotion is currently disabled. It will be readded after everything else works ok.
Erro's sql rights changes stuff is currently commented out. It will be re-added.
There are still many many verbs which need updating.
Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.

>tried to make the comments less confusing.
>Removed the procs for rebuilding the lists (they weren't meant to be used and half were broken anyway).
>added a directory. It maps ckey to client like so directory[ckey] = client. It could be used for PMs, banning, and various other admin tools rather than using \ref[]
>var/list/admins is now a list of clients whom are admins.
>var/list/admin_datums is what var/list/admins used to be. A map from ckey -> admin datum
Most of this is so I can add modular admin ranks in a non-horrendous way and fix some existing issues.
>var/list/client_list is now var/list/clients (laziness sorry)
>removed some needless loops and stuff.

>Replaced dd_text2list, dd_text2listcase, tg_text2listcase and tg_text2list with text2list and text2listEx. text2list will return a list of each and every character in the string if you set separator=""
>added return_file_text(filepath) which returns text from a file after doing some checks: does the file exist? is the file empty? It prints helpful error messages to the world.log if it runs into problems
>Replaced dd_file2list(filepath, seperator) with file2list(filepath, seperator). It just calls text2list(return_file_text(filepath), seperator). rather than copypasta
>Replaced time_stamp() so it's not as retarded
>Lots of the world setup stuff uses file2list now, rather than file2text -> sanity -> text2list
>Added error() warning() testing() procs. These print messages to world.log with a prefix. e.g. ## ERROR: msg.
