This is being done to help facilitate the transfer to TGUI. These
commcards are part of a project that never really got finished, and the
majority of them do not even function in their current implementation,
with only barebone templates and half-made integration.
While it would be neat to have these function one day, I believe it
would be for the best to remove their current implementation wholesale
as this commit does, and allow them to be reintegrated at a later time
when communicators have been converted to TGUI and NanoUI has been
eliminated.
- Existing consoles remain for now, only refactored to use a shared nano_module. Included by default on engineering consoles, downloadable by anyone with basic engineering access.
- Tidies up the UI a bit, prevents manual toggling of valves when they are in Auto mode (as it would immediately toggle back)
- Please fasten your seatbelts, this will be a long one as it joins few older Bay PRs into one.
1. Ports https://github.com/Baystation12/Baystation12/pull/12626
- SMES units may now be damaged and destroyed. Charged SMES units fail quite violently. Damage can be fixed by welding tool.
- PSUs completely refactored, ghetto variant no longer exists.
- Cell rack PSUs now can be considered a hybrid between large battery charger and a SMES. They actually use the cells to store power (so you can hot-swap the cells to get more juice simply via the UI without deconstructing the whole machine), but in comparison to SMES have poor throughput and capacity in general (cells are simply too small). They are also somewhat limited in configuration options (lacks the precision electronics of a SMES). Better matter bin lets you put in more cells, up to 9.
- Cell rack PSU also has a mode that allows charge-balancing all inserted batteries (moves energy around so each battery has the same charge %)
2. Ports https://github.com/Baystation12/Baystation12/pull/11977
- SMES units now have full load balancing capability, getting rid of that annoying "One SMES charges at full, other SMES gets nothing" problem. If insufficient power is available on input, all inputting SMESes will now charge at same percentage. If more SMESes power a single output, they will all output equal percentage of their setting.
- This appears to have a pleasant side effect of fixing the issue where SMESes could starve APCs of energy. SMESes are ALWAYS last to input power on a powernet.
- This also appears to have fixed weird values displayed in SMES output/input load readings in the UI. By weird values i mostly mean inputs/outputs actually higher than the SMES is set to have.
3. Ports https://github.com/Baystation12/Baystation12/pull/18137
- SMES units (and subtypes, therefore effectively also PSUs from previous entry) can now have more than one terminal. This effectively allows a setup where two (or more) sources feed a single SMES, which then feeds the output. SMESes can not exceed input setting even with multiple terminals.
- Typical example of use in practice would be SMES that runs something important (for example an AI, telecomms, pick whatever you want). It could have one input from the power grid, and second input from a PACMAN generator set up nearby as a backup. Before the generator would have to be wired into main grid, therefore main grid would siphon off power from it. Now the generator can be separate and dedicated for whatever use you want.
Instead of having a page for each category which you have to
exhaustively click through to find what you want, items now show on the
main screen in a little box that updates whenever you change categories.
- Ports the overmap, ships, sectors, and "landable" ships from baystation.
- Ports necessary computers to control ships and overmap shuttles.
- Shims missing machine and computer functionality pending future enhancements.
- Includes required new sprites and sounds.
Largely ported from the work done at Baystation in Baystation12#17460 and later commits.
- Shuttles no longer require a separate area for each location they jump to.
Instead destinations are indicated by landmark objects, which are not necessarily exclusive to that shuttle.
This means that more than one shuttle could use the same docking port (not at the same time of course).
- Enhanced shuttle control computers to use nanoui if they didn't.
- Organizes shuttle datum code a bit better so there is less re-inventing the wheel in subtypes.
- Allows the possibility of shuttles (or destinations) that start on late-loaded maps.
- Deprecate the "extra" shuttle areas that are no longer needed and update shuttle areas in unit tests
This all required a bit of infrastructure improvements.
- ChangeArea proc, for changing the area of a turf.
- Fixed lighting overlays actually being able to be destroyed.
- Added a few utility macros and procs.
- Added "turf translation" procs which are like move_contents_to but more flexible.
(cherry picked from commit c837078105)
* Somewhat cleans up a piece of job code, makes new ID computers not be awful.
* Changes ROLE_ defines to DEPARTMENT_ to be clearer. Backports the new ID computer's assignment section of its UI to the old ID computer.
* Swaps back to southern cross map.
* Removes a block of commented code.
* Fixes communicator newsfeed app.
Fixes non-terminal while loop in get_latest_news(), helper.dm
Newscaster posts now have a world.time-esque timestamp number, so they can be (almost) uniquely identified
* whoopsie
* Grey scale pills and colored pillbottles
Baystation ports of PR #19714 and PR #21578
Known issue: The Chem master's pill selection does not properly show the grey scale pills, unfortunately. There is a 'close enough' approximation, however.
* Minor oversights
* Another oversight
* Programming language confusion
* Corrects some code
