Changes the rock texture to hopefully be a bit better. It's a recolored version of /tg/'s lavaland rock, and modified slightly to look less repetitive.
Ports the lavaland rock tile sprite entirely for future away missions.
Adds tree chopping down feature. All trees now have health, and hitting it with things will reduce it. Generally you need something sharp to have a chance of actually felling the tree.
Adds log material, which is obtained from chopping trees. Hitting these with a sharp weapon converts them into two planks per log. Can be used to build log walls but otherwise can't be used to craft, at the moment.
Ports /tg/ tree sprites. Might have a use for them in away missions, who knows.
Makes crystals start anchored and glow.
Shoveling snow checks toolspeed now.
* Cigarette Grammar + Lorefixes
The grammar in the original was a little wonky and we all know how I feel about wonky grammar. Also made Jerichos a SAARE thing since Heph doesn't really _use_ their guns and brought fashionable menswear to the masses.
* woops made an error as I was trying not to make an error
* forgot menthols
Adds toolspeed var, which is a multiplier on how 'fast' the tool works. 0.5 means it goes twice as fast.
Adds usesound var, which determines what sound is used when a tool is being used.
Changes a lot of code to use those two vars instead.
Adds 'ayyy' tools, which are ported from /tg/'s abductor gamemode. They're currently admin only but I might make them obtainable by xenoarch later.
Adds powertools, also from /tg/. CE starts with them in a new toolbelt that spawns in their locker, ported from (you guessed it) /tg/.
Changes welder sprites to look nicer, ported yet again from /tg/. Modified the blue welder slightly so it can be the electric welder sprite.
Adds various sounds from /tg/, for tools and welders.
Links many map-specific details such as the station name, z-level information, and allowed jobs from global vars to map datum vars, which should help us maintain multiple maps at once in the future, which will be needed for the future Southern Cross.
Note that a config change will be needed to change GENERATE_ASTEROID to GENERATE_MAP, otherwise no changes should be required to continue normal map usage.
To change to a different map, it's suggested to tick the file that ticks all the other needed files, which for the Northern Star is called northern_star.dm.
The short naming of central command has been really inconsistent across
the game's files. This has always annoyed the shit out of me.
CentComm and Centcomm and Centcom are now all CentCom, specifically with
that capitalization. Why one M instead of two M's? Because Comm with two
'M's = Communications. Hence, Telecomms, NOT Telecoms. Telecoms is
incorrect. CentCom was also chosen because CentCom with one M and this
casing is most found throughout the game's files.
Speaking of Telecomms, I corrected one instance in the game where it's
Telecom. Like I said, this is not correct. There was only one
inconsistency.
Likewise, Nanotrasen has been changed to NanoTrasen. Nanotrasen only
appears 20 times, where NanoTrasen appears 62. NanoTrasen is clearly the
preferred, correct naming.
Changes layout of the AI core, see picture in PR.
Moves APCs for core and upload to the backs of the rooms.
Critical APCs can somewhat resist EMP now.
Gives turrets a ten second timeout until they go underneath the turret covers, unless turned off manually or if they lose power.
Adds a new type of turret specifically for the AI upload/core. This type has more health, has a 1/3 chance to ignore EMP, and fires xray lasers, to counter ablative armor.
A new material called Durasteel has been added. It is made from Plasteel and diamonds, and boasts more toughness than Plasteel alone, as well as reflectivity. The inner walls of the AI core are made out of this new material, which makes emitters less helpful.
Emitters can be damaged by projectiles, and will explode if too much damage is sustained. Shooting a Durasteel wall will likely cause you to lose the emitter.
New AI core turrets turn green when on lethal, to show that xray is coming.
Makes the name of the starsystem and station generic such that it can be modified in global.dm and replace the strings where it is used. This won't have an effect on Polaris itself, but makes changing the name much more simple for forks. Using string concat constants on the advice of Psi.
- Replaces the creation of throwaway items from New() with initial() calls for all chameleon items.
- Unfortunately throwaway items could not be removed when switch appearance, as initial() does not work very will with list vars.
- Makes chameleon item name cache lists global.
- Makes chameleon guns a subtype of energy guns, removes chameleon magazines.
- Moves chameleon.dm to clothing module root
- Items without icon or icon_state are no longer selectable as chameleon appearances.
- Chameleon verbs go in their own panel.
Fixes issues introduced with the examine tab system by decoupling the
examine() proc from the code that updates a mob's description holders.
Puts a few things in more logical places.
