When a post is too long to send, reflect it back to the user in the chatbox so they can copypaste it into separate messages. Also increases the message limit from 1024 to 2048. If a message is longer than 5-messages worth, it is not reflected and a warning is sent instead to avoid easily consuming bandwidth for DDOS purposes with long messages.
I'd like to add markers in the message where the posts would have been truncated but that's... complicated.
-Choose Sprite: Ability to pick a sprite from a list, found in icons/mob/ghost.dmi
-When manifested: Spectral Whisper: The ghost whispers into the mind of a target in sight-range. Works through walls.
When a ghost is made visible by adminnery or cult, their emotes become visible to anyone who has sight of them. If they become invisible somehow (By toggling or adminnery) they will return to using normal ghost emotes in deadchat.
Transmission of emotes, visible_message() and say() refactored. All three use get_mobs_or_objects_in_view() to find objects and mobs in containers
Storage objects and closets no longer transfer hear_talk(), see_emote() or show_message() to contents, as this is already covered by the above changes
Holopads can receive and send emotes.
The AI, when using 'me', will check if a holopad is being used. If so, the holopad will output the emote. If not, it's outputted from the core.
The AI will hear emotes from near an active holopad.
There is a new obj verb called 'see_emote()', that works similarly to hear_talk().
custom_emote() modified to have 'seeing_obj' list. May be resource-intensive, not sure.
pAIs can now hear emotes, without issue.
Carded AIs can hear emotes, but they hear themselves twice.
Mechs do not hear emotes correctly at this time.
* Both admins and regular players can toggle deadchat off
* Having deadchat on still requires you to be a ghost or an admin/mod to be able to /see/ deadchat
* Added a proc to be called whenever a ghost emotes something
* Added emote_dead, which displays the *fancy* emote text to admins, mods, and those with M.stat DEAD
