(cherry picked from commit e40246e9dfc9feb28b8c5a0a7ce765fd063c4f7e)
Most likely also fixes the hickup where BYOND still rending lights are blobs of light despite having hardware acceleration enabled.
Ports https://github.com/ParadiseSS13/Paradise/pull/1690. Fixes#10147 as much as it can be fixed I believe.
Before: When a client is created it's player_age variable is set to "Requires Database", then a select query is ran against the database to see if they have been seen before if they have logged in before this will have a row for them and it will set player age. However if there is no row for them it doesn't change player_age from default.
After: Before we check for an entry in the database we set their player_age to zero, we already checked we have a database connection so we know we will be able to pull this information and if we can't then it means they are a new player. Set their player_age to zero and be done with it.
What this does: Brand new players will no longer be able to bypass the jobs minimal age limit.
* NanoUI now finds and sends it's assets to the client (css, images, javascript and templates).
Part of my effort to make creating NanoUIs as simple as possible. This removes the need to add new NanoUI assets (such as templates) to the client send_resources proc.
Creates NanoUI for the PDA and Syndicate Uplink.
New features:
Crew manifest now sorted with department heads at the top.
Can select individual conversations and delete individual conversations among PDA's
Powernet Monitor much more simple now and easier to read.
Janitorial supplies locator now includes Janicart.
Items will actually refresh if you click "Refresh"
Some other changes:
Captain's PDA cartridge now has all access (added janitor access and quartermaster access)
With the conversation change I had to change how tnote (the variable that holds PDA messages works.
Setup the message server to use the new methods.
Removed procs that will no longer be used (UI generation procs from old UI methods)
Commented everything the best I can.
Created HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE lists. But it's pretty much required because that's how nanoUI rolls.
Created a variable on the uplink called NanoUI items, this list is created upon creation of the
uplink.
I included the functionality for Mimes and Clowns for our downstream servers that have those.
