New lighting system is needed to handle updating literally 14k+ tiles whenever the sun moves. The straight port seems to have had no adverse effects from what I could see. Don't know if it's more performant but it doesn't seem to be less.
I didn't expect the latter would be needed for the former.
Pink Slime Aura and Mend Synthetic (technomancer) should now fix FBPs again.
Adds procs to get the 'real' number of damage from humans, including limb damage on prosthetic limbs.
Slime following made a bit more robust, slimes (and other simple animals) stop wandering when following.
Slimes following a leader that passes the can_command() check will refrain from attacking things if not attacked first.
Slime kill command implemented, requires the slime to be in your faction or be the slime's friend, and not just obedient. This can be accomplished with end-game slime agents.
Slimes require three 'free' tiles to split, which should prevent super overcrowed cells and by extension avoid Amber Tide from crashing the mob controller.
Dark Blue Cold Aura now properly adjusts temperature based on protection gradually instead of instantly setting to the lowest value.
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.
Southern Cross shuttles one and two can now launch.
Adds missing areas for shuttles 1 and 2.
Shuttles warming up, moving, or stopping now make a nice sound, ported from /tg/.
Rearranges shuttle datum/computer definitions to make it easier to read.
Removes cloaking abilities for most multi-shuttles.
Lowers transit time for multi-shuttles. Can be raised later if desired.
* Based on https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/25386
* Create macro for defining new subsystem types.
* Create PreInit proc to handle setup that needs to be done before the map loads
* Rename garbage_controller subsystem to garbage so it matches its global SSgarbage variable name.
* Settings for specific z-levels are defined in datum types, allowing the lists of Z levels to be automatically configured. This solves the problem of being unable to use the z-level #defines in associative lists.
* Converted the example and northern star maps to use the new system.
Makes new clones receive a substantial malus on combat ability, which will last between 25 to 40 minutes.
This time can be reduced by upgrading the cloner. A fully upgraded cloner can reduce the time to 5 to 8 minutes.
Also makes new clones receive a 'cloned' modifier, which doesn't actually do anything besides act as a sort of counter for how many times they've been cloned that only admins can see at the moment.
Makes modifiers with the 'genetic' flag get copied to cloned mobs.
Adds admin utility/testing/badmin verb to give any modifier to any living mob.
Adds a fairly simple system that allows adjusting various numbers like max health, incoming damage, outgoing melee damage, etc. The nice part is that changing certain variables this way (like max health) is a lot safer than manually setting the max health var directly.
Changes a lot of short lines of code to point towards a variable's getter or setter helper instead of reading the var directly so the modifiers can work.
Endoarmor, delayed toxin sting, Enfeebling sting, and recursive adrenaline overdose now use the modifier system.
Enfeebling sting now only lasts two minutes, from five minutes, however it now also reduces the victim's melee damage by 25%/50%, and increases the damage they suffer by 10%/35%, for normal and recursive respectively.
Delayed Toxin Sting's effects are now felt all at once instead of over the course of a few minutes.
Controller with deferrals and SCHECKs to be specific. Won't lag while updating the sun, weather, or temperature.
Also moved some vars around. Namely the planet walls are stored on the planet, not in the weather_holder.
Planets now have their own turfs, the controller 'gives' them to the planets each cycle if there are any unallocated turfs in the global lists, to avoid iterating over other planets' turfs if you have more than one, then cuts the lists if you were crazy and some turf added some invalid type. This saves us type-checking in the for() loops later to make them crunch faster. The former operation should only happen once at the start of the game (and maybe very rarely when turfs are added/removed from a map during the game).
With regards to the temperature updates, rebuilding the zone entirely is an intensive operation. Instead we can use this new cheaty proc to do it from over here. ZAS code outside ZAS oh noooo. Well, the option is to snowflake this case into ZAS which is maybe worse?
Only downside to all this is that if you manually set weather and time it might take between 1-60 seconds for the controller to get around to checking if you wanted to update it. That's not that big a deal. If you really want you can now debug that controller and call doWork on it.
The previous client-side optimization made lighting overlays go fully
opaque when it was dark, making it so species darksight didn't let you see
anything. This fixes that by making a dark_soft icon state that has
opacity matching the LIGHTING_SOFT_THRESHOLD.
* Merge two not-really conflicts
Thanks git, that whitespace conflict was super important?
* DME merge
* Added defines for mobs used by simple animals.
* Lost a slime along the way
* Disable debug settings
* HONK!!!
* Remove redundant hostile decls
* Replace loc= with forceMove in old SA code
I guess I should think of the children.
