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.
* Makes the paper shredder constructable and deconstructable.
* Switches to some new sprites which are animated!
* Machine now requires power, icons respond to power on/off etc.
The Exonet Node now has a log window, showing all successful message transmissions that pass through it. Each line contains information about the origin address, target address, the message type, and the contents of the message.
Changes the documentation for some procs to be more clear on what they're actually doing.
- Whole scale port of clothing items from bay.
- Solgov armor vests, as well as a 'tactical vest' (None avail. in game)
- Alternate atmos, engineering, mining, medical, and security suits. (Due to their stats, only available through cargo).
- Three new hazard vest colors, blue, green, white. (Load out option)
- 'Service jackets' Black and Green (Load out option).
- Solgov fleet dress uniforms, surgical apron, marshal jacket (None avail. in game, may change with the surgical apron in the future.)
- As a side change the Construction, HAZMAT, Biohazard, and EMT voidsuits are also now available from cargo. HAZMAT and Biohzard come with slightly adjusted stats to sort of reflect what they are designed for.
Separates the 'count and assess everything' stuff to it's own datum, called the metric datum, which I plan to add on to in the future to make counting and metrics easier.
Makes decision process a bit more weight-based, will probably continue tweaking later.
Makes the admin debug UI have links to change settings easily.
Adds replacement for grid check event, which works similar to the old one, but is now based on a physical machine in the game world, that Engineering can hack to make the event end faster, if so desired. Note that the machine is not mapped in, and won't be mapped in until the event system is ready for launch.
Adds grid_check variables to SMESes and APCs to make them stop doing work without draining the battery.
Grid checks in the new system are caused by a "power spike" which originates from the engine and will cause bad things, should no grid checker machine be connected to the power-net. These power spikes occur when the GM decides that a grid check is a good event to have.
The grid checker can be built and deconstructed using the standard machine construction methods.
