Links many map-specific details such as the station name, z-level information, and allowed jobs from global vars to map datum vars, which should help us maintain multiple maps at once in the future, which will be needed for the future Southern Cross.
Note that a config change will be needed to change GENERATE_ASTEROID to GENERATE_MAP, otherwise no changes should be required to continue normal map usage.
To change to a different map, it's suggested to tick the file that ticks all the other needed files, which for the Northern Star is called northern_star.dm.
Admins can now:
Pause event start countdown.
Add/Remove events to rotation.
Affect the likelihood of events occurring.
Allow one shot events to fire again.
Previously missed Z-level checks in the form "z != X". Utilized this regex which hopefully has cought most of them [zZ](\s?)(!?)=(\s?)(\d+).
Adds more Z-level configuration, admin levels.
Alters the event controller based on http://baystation12.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=10706.
Exception is that there is always some start time variance to prevent metagaming.
Mundane, moderate, and major events run on their own timers and start and run independantly of each other.
Multiple events of the same severity degree can run at the same time. However, currently only one instance of the same event can be active at a time.
It now opens up maintenance access to all people upon start. Furthermore,
one minute after ending (and with a warning), it will return maintenance
requirements to how they were before the event. In addition to this, it
has been buffed to closer to the original amount of damage for the event.
= Giant Spiders =
- Nurses spin webs which impede progress, bundle items and mobs up in cocoons, lay eggs to create spiderlings
- Nurses are slow and weak, but their bite has a chance to paralyse the victim
- Spiderlings skitter about and eventually grow into giant spiders.
- Spiderlings will ventcrawl, so they can spread over the station pretty fast.
- Hunters are fast, have decent health and the most effective poison
- Guards are medium speed but the health and direct damage
- The poison of hunters and guards can cause hallucinations if they bite you
= Farm animals =
- Cows can be milked or butchered for a large supply of meat. Sadists can also tip them over (with intent_help).
- Goats can also be milked, but have a nasty temperament.
- Chicks grow up to be chickens, who lay eggs and continue the cycle. But where did it start? (they're very noisy).
- All three are orderable via QM.
My changes:
- Added a spider infestation event.
- Optimized code with spiders and simple_animals.
- Made a /hostile/retaliate type which will only fight back when hurt. Based on Cael's code.
- Added some farm animals on the map.
- Changed events, added a setup() proc which can let you setup variables or the event. Made the event only kill itself when it has called, announce(), start() and end().
- Brainrot will only need alkysine as a cure.
- Communication blackout will always be silent.
- Changed some admin buttons to use the new event system.
- Added a forceEvent proc which you can use when you enable debug verbs.

The old one still exists, mainly so the associated admin buttons still work.
At some point I'll add a nice little panel for event stuff and remove the old procs.
event.dm is pretty well commented, and it should be pretty easy to figure it out.
Casualties of the change are space dust (which should probably be implemented separately if we want it back), the black hole event (which was awful), space ninjas (which didn't turn up), ionstorms (the non-admin ones sucked anyway) and CLANG, which I will probably add at some point, if no one else does first.
Also, I removed pierott's throat from the disease outbreak list. f that s.
Thanks to Sukasa and BS12, as my system is loosely based off of theirs.
Thanks Giacom for help with structuring and especially commenting this.
