Ghosts should be able to hear things once more.
The big bold NEW NEWS notice should remember if one has already seen the news, as the hash was not actually being saved. It's being saved now.
Adds ability for admins with R_SERVER perms to be able to set a persistant 'news' announcement that works similarly to admin memos, but for the public. This is ideal for telling the public things such as when an event is scheduled, directing people to a forum thread, new lore changes, new policies, etc.
The news window allows to define a title, and the body of the text, using an admin verb. The author and date are added automatically.
Any players can read the news window in the lobby. The button will bold itself, and display (NEW!), if the player has not seen the news before. This is done by comparing a hash of the body that the client remembers verses a hash the current news body.
The short naming of central command has been really inconsistent across
the game's files. This has always annoyed the shit out of me.
CentComm and Centcomm and Centcom are now all CentCom, specifically with
that capitalization. Why one M instead of two M's? Because Comm with two
'M's = Communications. Hence, Telecomms, NOT Telecoms. Telecoms is
incorrect. CentCom was also chosen because CentCom with one M and this
casing is most found throughout the game's files.
Speaking of Telecomms, I corrected one instance in the game where it's
Telecom. Like I said, this is not correct. There was only one
inconsistency.
Likewise, Nanotrasen has been changed to NanoTrasen. Nanotrasen only
appears 20 times, where NanoTrasen appears 62. NanoTrasen is clearly the
preferred, correct naming.
Someone had already added a 'return-only' override for hear_say for new_player mobs to keep their ghostears from working in the lobby, however ghostsight/eyes/whateveritscalled has not worked as it should and it seems like nobody thought to add a show_message block for emotes.
While I consider Polaris' character setup screen to be mechanically better
than most others, it wasn't prettier. Well. It was a bit. But now it's
more pretty-er.
Used the fake NanoUI 'browser' datum to render the pages for the New
Player panel and the Character Setup screen.
