Fixed meteor spawning so all the meteors that are set to spawn actually hit, but noticed that 50 meteors every 5 seconds proved itself to be way too laggy when all of them actually spawned properly and aren't deleted at soon as they're created due to being on the map's edge. Instead I lowered it to 6 per second.

Soul Stones can now capture Shades (which heals them)
Soul Stones capturing a soul will now be imprinted with that shade, and be unable to capture new souls/other shades
Added ectoplasm object/sprites. As of now it has no uses.
Shades now delete on death and leave ectoplasm behind.
Soulstones can be bought with the wizards spellbook (as a set of six) and from the cultist supply talisman.
The Chaplain has a single soulstone in his office (mostly for testing/so it will get used often and I can get feedback)
Speaking of items on the map for testing, Reactive Teleport Armour no longer spawns in the RD's office (because Urist will murder me if I have to retarded test items out at once)
Removed some no longer needed code regarding soulstones from the suicide verb.
Updated the changelog

Malf overhaul, take two!
Waaaay back in the old days, I made it so malf AIs had to hack APCs to win, instead of just sit AFK for 45 minutes. Now I'm taking some more drastic action, to see what happens.
THE MALF AI NO LONGER SPAWNS ON THE AI SAT.
Instead of sitting in the AI sat hoping nobody notices your blatantly obvious hacking, at which point the 3 people lucky enough to have looted EVA get to have all the fun, you can now shunt your core processes into an APC you have hacked, and hacked APCs are only moderately obvious.
While shunted into an APC, the AI draws power from that APC instead of the one in their main core. If the APC loses power, the AI loses power as normal. If the APC they are in is damaged or destroyed, they are forced back into their main core. If the main core is inoperative at that time, they die. The AI is also capable of willingly going back to their main core. As long as the AI's main core is intact, the AI speaks out of its core, regardless of its current location.
I have tested as much of this as I could to make sure it is functional, but thanks to the game mode overhaul, I have been unable to run actual malf rounds on my test server, so I have had to cheat and set things to work in any mode for testing. As for actual round balance, there's no real way to predict how that shit'll change.
This is just the base overhaul, more changes will be forthcoming as malf rounds provide data on how the change performs.

◦ Metroids can now be observed by ghosts.
◦ Saved User Interface preferences ("Old UI" & "New UI") now correctly get transferred to clones.
◦ Captain announcements now require the player to be next to the console. (Issue 220)
◦ Radio headsets no longer sometimes fail to deliver the messages (Issue 221)
◦ Some other insignificant back-end shenanigans.
◦ The pregame lobby now has title music. The gameticker chooses between two .ogg files on game start and plays that for everyone who joins. The music stops when create_character() gets called though.
◦ Gave some critters, namely "creature" and "blob" some attack sounds.

Right now you can't do anything them other than capture people (and talk to them if you're near the stone)
Added a new belt variety that can only hold shards. Still needs its own sprites.
They currently do not spawn anywhere/are admin only.

Fixed issue 270
- Changelings now have an "isabsorbing" var to prevent spamming absorb for free chems.

Fixed a missing tile on the salvage shuttle.
Reverted it back to cultists getting one random word each because I broke something apparently.

Captains can't be traitors anymore. This is a placeholder, friday I'll redo that a bit - probably so that captains don't get any traitor equipment (they already have all the everything else for that) and that they can't get steal objectives (re: they already have everything).

The blue version functions as wizard robes and spawns on the wizard's shuttle, the red versions replace the old cultist robe sprites.
Cultists now each start with join/blood/self instead of one random word each.
Cultist supply talisman now has five uses and can spawn armor talismans.

Instead, the spellbook simply starts with an extra use. This will save you the trouble of re-memorizing if you do not want to take ethereal jaunt.
Put an Ion Rifle on the nuke ops shuttle which will hopefully help with nuke teams getting routinely destroyed by sec borgs.
Fixed a wizard spawn message which referred to a no longer existing item (it mentioned "two" artifacts in your pockets,though you no longer spawn with a scrying gem)
Added Magus Helm sprites/object, which as of now does not spawn and is just an alternative wizard hat (counts for spell requirements).

The Wizard Spellbook has a new subsection: Artefacts. Artefacts are items with special properties that the wizard can purchase as an alternative to spells (one artefact costs as much as one spell)
Currently the only Artefact is the Staff of Change, more to follow.
Updated the changelog.
