elly1989@rocketmail.com 73e5c38a56 Preparations for reducing the number of processing machines at round-start. There are currently 8000 or so at round start, this was already pruned to 2800ish by doohl's stuff.
machine.process() now uses a return value to remove itself from the processing machines list. This is more efficient and will help reduce costs especially at round start where some 5000+ machines were removed from the list using first-find. Now there is no searching involved. Instead of machines.Remove(src) just do .=PROCESS_KILL that will return the flag to the proc which called it (the MC) and trigger its removal from the list. If you're deleting something don't even bother removing it from the machines list, there is no need to.

Simplified the last_processed stuff for the MC. It's now a single variable rather than 3. It is simply a typepath rather than a reference to an object (this is so it works even if said object is deleted)

MC stats in admin status_panels now show the length of the processing lists (indicated by #). I've just realised I forgot to mention what the abbreviations are:
The less obvious ones are: Dis=diseases; Net=pipes; Pnet=powernets; Mch=Machines; Tick=the game-mode ticker.

Beach-water now uses an overlay image rather than a separate object.

Fixed a typo in the shuttle console.

Hydroponics trays no longer use first-find within their process() for checking the plant is in the tray (why is that even there anyway? talk about lazy)

Removed some junk/placeholder procs like organ/proc/process() return

Removed newscasters from the processing machines lists.

tgstation13 v1.0 - 6 October 2010

Website: http://nanotrasen.com
Code: http://code.google.com/p/tgstation13/
IRC: irc://irc.rizon.net/tgstation13

================================================================================
INSTALLATION
================================================================================

First-time installation should be fairly straightforward.  First, you'll need
BYOND installed.  You can get it from http://www.byond.com/.  Once you've done 
that, extract the game files to wherever you want to keep them.  This is a
sourcecode-only release, so the next step is to compile the server files.
Open tgstation.dme by double-clicking it, open the Build menu, and click
compile.  This'll take a little while, and if everything's done right you'll get
a message like this:

saving tgstation.dmb (DEBUG mode)

tgstation.dmb - 0 errors, 0 warnings

If you see any errors or warnings, something has gone wrong - possibly a corrupt
download or the files extracted wrong.

Once that's done, open up the config folder.  You'll want to edit config.txt to
set the probabilities for different gamemodes in Secret and to set your server
location so that all your players don't get disconnected at the end of each
round.  It's recommended you don't turn on the gamemodes with probability 0, 
except Extended, as they have various issues and aren't currently being tested,
so they may have unknown and bizarre bugs.  Extended is essentially no mode, and
isn't in the Secret rotation by default as it's just not very fun.

You'll also want to edit admins.txt to remove the default admins and add your
own.  "Game Master" is the highest level of access, and the other recommended admin
levels for now are "Game Admin" (a little below host) and "Moderator".  The format is

byondkey - Rank

where the BYOND key must be in lowercase and the admin rank must be properly
capitalised.  There are a bunch more admin ranks, but these three should be
enough for most servers, assuming you have trustworthy admins.

Finally, to start the server, run Dream Daemon and enter the path to your
compiled tgstation.dmb file.  Make sure to set the port to the one you 
specified in the config.txt, and set the Security box to 'Safe'.  Then press GO
and the server should start up and be ready to join.

================================================================================
UPDATING
================================================================================

To update an existing installation, first back up your /config and /data folders
as these store your server configuration, player preferences and banlist.

Then, extract the new files (preferably into a clean directory, but updating in
place should work fine), copy your /config and /data folders back into the new
install, overwriting when prompted except if we've specified otherwise, and
recompile the game.  Once you start the server up again, you should be running
the new version.

================================================================================
SQL Setup
================================================================================

The SQL backend for the library and stats tracking requires a 
MySQL server.  Your server details go in /config/dbconfig.txt, and the SQL 
schema is in /SQL/tgstation_schema.sql.  More detailed setup instructions are
coming soon, for now ask in our IRC channel.

================================================================================
IRC Bot Setup
================================================================================

Included in the SVN is an IRC bot capable of relaying adminhelps to a specified IRC channel/server (thanks to Skibiliano)
Instructions for bot setup are included in the /bot/ folder along with the bot/relay script itself
