Cores can now be locked and unlocked by a verb. Locked cores cannot be removed by anyone. Cores automatically unlock if the wearer dies or otherwise stops existing for some reason.
Healing spells now induce a flat instability cost on the healer instead of it being split between healer and healed. The amount healed is greatly increased if used on someone besides the healer.
Mend Organs is now called Great Mend Wounds, and now heals broken bones, IB, eye damage, and blood loss in addition to internal organs.
Radiating instability (the purple glow) now gives a warning to people afflicted.
Instability discounts should start applying correctly for specific cores.
Instability now affects all living mobs and not just humans. This includes borgs and simple animals.
Phase shift now adds ongoing instability while hiding inside the rift.
Projectile spells should be logged now.
Wards last forever, and should not die in vacuum now.
Restoration aura is now green colored and not blue.
Simple mobs and cyborgs are now harmed by lightning.
Malf is a terrible gamemode, the code is unmaintained, and it's not very fun for the crew or the AI. The AI can still be evil, and more effectively, as a traitor. At some point I plan to give traitorAIs some malf powers, but the malf mode needs to go, and I meant to do this literally a year ago.
Ninja will no longer be votable, because one ninja cannot carry the round. The age of solo-antags is coming to an end, because solo-antagonists have been proven to be ineffective, and place massive pressure on the person playing the antag. It also makes it difficult to balance one person to be able to fight the whole station without it being shit for the station or shit for the antag. To fix that, Ninja is no longer a solo-antag. The other ninja modes like Intrigue and Visitors remain, as the ninja should have more breathing room, since other baddies exist.
A lot of new defines are now in inventory_sizes.dm, which contains;
All the size identifiers (the thing that tells the game if something is bulky, or w/e).
Storage costs for all the sizes, which are exponents of two, as previously.
A few constants for inventory size.
Also changes all storage item's capacity definitions by basing it off of how many 'normal slots' exist for it. This allows one to change the definition for all of the defines in the file, and everything will follow along without needing to change 500 files. In testing, I made all ITEMSIZE_COST_* defines doubled, and nothing had broke.
The benefit of doing all of this is that it makes adding new weight classes in the future much simpler, and makes knowing how much space a container has easier, as seeing ITEMSIZE_COST_NORMAL * 7 means it can hold seven normal items.
Cost for various spells and equipment adjusted greatly. In general, things are cheaper, and everything should now be in multiples of 25, so no points are wasted.
The default jumpsuit for Technomancers is now heavily insulated, protecting them from tasers, batons, and perhaps unfortunate lightning strikes.
Instability between 31 and 50 made less harsh.
Wards made with a scepter of enhancement will break the cloak of anyone invisible that it can see.
Fire aura buffed, increased rate of heating as well as temperature cap for both non-scepter and scepter effects.
Reflect spell made more forgiving for the Technomancer, lasting longer before expiring.
Projectile spells should be able to hit people more reliably.
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.
Adds ability to sort the spells section of the catalog into categories. The categories available are 'All', 'Offensive', 'Defensive', 'Utility', and 'Support'.
Removes preset section on catalog as it was unused.
Projectile spells now have a sound when fired.
Haste lasts five seconds instead of three.
Repel Missiles lasts for five minutes instead of two.
All healing spells work five times as fast, healing in five seconds instead of twenty five seconds. The amount of instability and healing done has been multiplied to remain consistent.
Passwall can now be used on more than just walls, if there's something dense on the same tile.
Force Missile is now 25% cheaper to cast, and has a cooldown of .5 seconds instead of one second, and does 5 more damage.
Beam's damage is increased by 10, and energy cost decreased by 25%.
Lightning's warm-up time is now one second instead of two.
Overload now costs 10% of total energy instead of 15%, and damage scaled with 4% of their current energy reserves, and 5% with the Scepter, instead of 3%/4%. Additionally, instability per shot is lowered to 12 from 15.
Track now costs 25 points instead of 30 in the catalog, because roundness.
Fire Aura should look more impressive without a Scepter.
Fixes bug where shooting Lightning made you motionless for twenty seconds.
Unstable Aura will no longer do a hundred times its intended damage.
Gambit should no longer give base spell templates.
Wards should die properly now.
Track will no longer list the user as a valid option.
Shields should now stop projectile effects like stunning, if blocked.
Adds cores and other belongings to the tracking list for Track.
Cores worn or held by nontechnomancers cause instability buildup.
Frost Aura glow is now blue and not red.
Illusions can now do emotes as well as talk.
Illusion talking shouldn't be ruined due to double sanitize.
Phase Shift should work properly now.
Freedom and explosive implants can be bought in the catalog.
Moves spell HUD so it doesn't cover instability warning.
Makes Instability radiate out towards other humans at sufficently high amounts. People radiating instability will glow purple light. It is adviced to keep your distance or you will get instability as well.
Mark can no longer be cast on the admin z-level.
Adds Gambit, a spell which will randomly give you (almost) any spell that exists.
Shield now causes a bit of instability when blocking.
Recall will bring anyone who is grabbed along for the ride when cast.
Disposable Teleporters now function correctly.
Instability decays faster.
