Blob spores that pass over the dead will now couple with the corpses to create blob zombies that are stronger and more resiliant than the spore alone. Should the blob zombie fall the original corpse is recovered and just as cloneable as it was before infection. These are simple animals not under the control of anyone.
Blob zombies will occur automatically if a blob finds a corpse under it and it's not already a zombie. Blob zombies have a base 80 health (normal blobs have 40) and gain additional health if the host body is wearing armor. They don't however actually gain the normal benefits of wearing the armor.
Blob zombies attack for 10 to 15 damage per strike, as opposed to the paltry 2 to 4 a hostless spore does.
Why this is good for the overmind:
The overmind cannot directly command the creation of zombies but can rally spores to a corpse's location to largely assure it will happen by itself. Blob zombies still follow rally spore commands and still count towards a factory blobs spore limit. As previously shown they're far more robust than spores and also deny the crew the ability to clone the victim until the zombie is defeated.
Why this is good for the crew:
Remember when the warden kamakazied the blob at the start of the round only to be engulfed and killed with the entire armory in his backpack? You can get those guns back now, because the warden's corpse will soon be moving to a very recoverable location! This also promotes not letting people die pointlessly to the blob or at least dragging corpses away from the blob (and hopefully to genetics) so they can't be infected.

Removed a lot of old and unused turf sprites.
Removed some old botany sprites (fucking cocoa pods).
Replaces the lava turf sprite with a good one.
Adds a lot of Ausops' snow sprites. Defines for these coming soon.
I might have been overzealous with the turf removal, so if anything was actually used, feel free to just revert, or add back the sprites.

Cleaned up some computer defines.
The detective's cabinet is now a secure cabinet.
Most of the secure closets cleaned up a bit.
The captain no longer spawns with an ID box in his backpack.
RD's locker got its flash back.
Added the blob node sprites.
Removed the 2% laser resist that normal jumpsuits gave. Normal clothing should not be blocking lasers. Left the 10% special block on each department.

You no longer have to be naked to be put into cryo or the cloning machine. This should make genetics slightly less messy.

Blob mode updated slightly
Wizard smoke from his smoke spell will partly block lasers that go through it.
Going to try and test a diff way for the singularity to "del" items, might cause less lag, it will also eat absorb other singularities.
RD lost tech storage access, see http://nanotrasen.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=5991 for details

Synaptizine once again helps with stuns however it is slightly toxic to humans and might give you some toxloss every time it ticks to balance the unstun.
Actually removed the logged say file this time.
Cargo main now merged into one area as it's was literally the same room with two areas.
Hydro East cam now is on the SS13 net and the prison station cam comp is actually on the prison station network.
The table in sec lost its two lower parts allowing officers to actually walk around without pushing people.
Added a wrench to the armory for the Warden's portable flashers.
Medical maintenance doors access levels fixed.
Medical is a bit less of a clusterfuck of pipes, I only did most of the west half and the tunnel. The east and tox still have to be done.
Medical Hallway to foyer, internal medhallway, and cryo doors were removed with permission from the head coders.

The rev icons bug might be fixed now.
Removed the old logged say file as it is no longer used and contained questionable material.
People should no longer spawn on the wizard station for a second at round start.
Removed the old intercept vars as they have not been used in a good while.
Blob is more or less back to its old state but still has the lava sprite, can we please get some new sprites for it.
Fixed the door on the prison station, it can now actually be used again.
