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.
git-svn-id: http://tgstation13.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2668 316c924e-a436-60f5-8080-3fe189b3f50e
Reworked the code to use a new "plasma" var instead of toxloss for their powers.
Facehuggers are now active for 30 to 60 instead of 3 to 5 seconds.
Aliens can see whether facehuggers are active without needing to examine them.
Changelings:
Ranged sting is now 2 squares-ranged instead of 3 squares.
Space:
Reverted the randomly accessible z-levels back to how they were (derelict and ai sat).

◦ The kitchen and booze vending machines have some changed commodity values. Most importantly, kitchen has more eating utensils and trays.
◦ Changed the afterattack() and DblClick() to have the (location,control,params) parameters.
◦ Added a new radio filter, "RADIO_MAGNETS".
◦ Mucked around with /datum/signal. Just an extra variable and another comment.
◦ Guns' afterattack() proc now carries location,control,params.
◦ Projectiles now track exactly where the player clicked on a tile. Pretty neat, huh?
New stuff:
◦ A new machine has been added: magnetic generators. They fit under floor tiles and can create dyanmic magnetic fields by directing ionized proton/electron beams to another tile.
◦ Another machine/computer was added that can control these magnetic generators. These machines come with their own pseudo-scripting engine for directing the magnetic beams magnetic modules create. They're not really complete yet, but they work for the firing range. I plan on expanding on this maybe sometime in the future, creating more applications for magnets elsewhere.
◦ Firing range things have been added, including target stakes and targets (both sprited by Veyveyr). You can mount targets onto target stakes and shoot them. Pixel-precision aiming has been applied to the targets (ONLY THE TARGETS!) so that you can see where you shot it and whatnot. You can literally blow holes through the targets until they collapse on themselves.
◦ Added a small little manual to the firing range on how to use the new stuff. It hopefully isn't too complicated to use.

Changed the shotgun pump proc a bit, should work better now and not teleport old shells around.
Added a config option for the jobs to be loaded from the jobs.txt rather than use the defaults.
Loyalty implanter removed. The Limplanter was designed to be on the prison station as it took more time and was a pain to get people up there to implant them. No prison station, no Limplanter.
Implanter lockbox moved to the armory from the HoS' locker.
Security room's table once again shrunk so people can walk around in there.
Brig lockers are now anchored to the inside of the cells and once again have their IDs set.
Warden's locker moved to his office.
Cell controls Names/IDs/Access fixed as well as once again working with the brig lockers.
Removed a few of the blast doors from the inside of the brig.
The three secure cells have blast doors controlled from a button outside of the cell.
The play admin midis toggle should be working properly now.
Morgue trays will no longer teleport anything from anywhere.

- The player panel now has a Compelte mute option, which mutes everything including adminhelps and admin pm-s.
- A person who is muted will now be informed he is whenever they try to speak/OOC/etc.

◦ As a result of the previous change, a substantial overhaul of the order in which clothing and hairs are displayed has been put into effect. From what I've playtested, it works mostly fine. Keep an eye out for small little oddities, though.
◦ Masks and head wear have been given a new flag, BLOCKHAIR. If turned on, this flag will force to the hair to not display. Intended for space suits, rig helmets, etc.
◦ (Committed for Zudrag) Added in the circuit boards for clone pods and cloning scanners and making them produceable from the circuit imprinter.

Rewrote the job selection system to use bitflags and the jobs are now objects.
Fixed a path conflict with effect which caused a few things to be unable to be clicked on.
Commented out the job.txt, Urist if you still want it to load from the .txt give me a yell and I can update it to work with the job objects.
Fixed up the bits that were missing the slightly updated mob organ attack code.
Moved the traps file into unused.
git-svn-id: http://tgstation13.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2340 316c924e-a436-60f5-8080-3fe189b3f50e
Moved into their own folder and got split into three files.
Damage zones have been regrouped slightly to make it easier to deal with them. Currently the organ groups are head, l/r leg, l/r arm, and head.
Attacking:
Armor is properly checked.
Currently aiming for the chest gives a higher chance to stun whereas the head will stun for longer.
Stungloves/Disarm now show up in the attack log.
Stungloves ignore intent.
Silicon:
AI units can now move between cams that are not on the ss13 network.
Cyborg's alert screen should not longer pop up every time they get an alert if they have opened it once during the round.
Robot vision now uses the standard amount of energy.
Gamemodes:
Added Deuryn's unrev message.
Runes can only be examined if you are close to them.
Moved the Loyalty implants to the HoS' locker at the request of HerpA.
Nuke agents now come with explosive implants that will activate upon death.
Projectiles:
Once again went though the gun code and cleaned things up, it is much better now.
Bullet_act fixed up and most mobs now use the one in living, just overload it if they need to do something diff.
Freeze /caplaser/xbow no longer have an infinite loop.
Shotguns have to be pumped manually.
Went though the latest runtime log.
Power cells now use return on their give/use procs
Assemblies have been reworked and are nearly finished, just need to finish up the special assembly code, redo the signalers, and add one or two new assembly items.
Laying down will now only take 3 ticks to get up, from 5.
You can no longer punch people on the spawn screen.
This is a big one and was cleared by two heads, TK will only allow you to pick up items. If you have an item in your hand it will act normal.
This revision got much larger than originally intended my tests show everything is working fine, but you never know. Ill likely do more mob teaks in the next few days.

/obj/effects is now /obj/effect.
/obj/station_objects is now /obj/structure.
Did a bit of minor blob work.
The Bay 12 body bags were replaced with closets because having two sets of code that do almost the same thing is silly.
Changed back a few of the last jobproc edits as the remove from list before assign was a check to see if the mob was fucked up and if it was remove it so we did not check it again as it would still be fucked up.
The medbay/tox monkeys names are random once more. More random name monkeys will help with changeling and clean up the observe/mob menus.
git-svn-id: http://tgstation13.googlecode.com/svn/trunk@2324 316c924e-a436-60f5-8080-3fe189b3f50e
Two new categories were made: station_objects and effects. station_objects, which I'm sure someone will want renamed to 'structures' contains the objects which don't need process() or power code.
Effects contains objects which are either landmarks, triggers, spawners or decal.

I didn't notice any bugs, but with a revision editing 276 files of byond code, you never know.

◦ Fixed job assignments. Hopefully this should stop the massive amount of assistants spawning at round start!
My changes:
◦ Fixed some Metroid-related bugs. Had stuff to do with draining life out of things and being able to move at the same time. Also some stuff with the way Metroids' speech is handled.
◦ Removed some unnecessary, commented-out code from the say() proc.
◦ Removed the chat bubble preference from the character creation screen.
◦ Added some more chat bubble themes, in the event someone wants to continue that. I've lost all motivation to continue the project because, no matter what I do, it just looks butt-ugly and laggy as hell.
