Engines will now be randomly placed on mapload, maintainers will need to update the server config to enable the system.
Add this to Config:
\# Control which submaps are loaded for the Dynamic Engine system
ENGINE_MAP Supermatter Engine,Edison's Bane
This will load either Supermatter or Tesla based on randomization. If you'd prefer to just stick with SM, remove "Edison's Bane" from the config file and leave in Supermatter Engine.
The way this is done DOES require the engine load system to be used, but it should pave the way for more modular engines in the future!
This also allows older maps to be loaded with hard-coded engines, if you comment out the line in config to disable it, it will skip engine loading.
If there's any issues, refer to the relevant submaps to tweak 'em. <3
TL;DR - Supermatter is now changed to on-mapload, Tesla added as option for mapload engine start. Remove the "Edison's Bane" from config and put the entire line into your config to make the engine work now. :blep:
Please merge this quickly, it will produce conflicts.
- Fixes Paper and font tags stacking across rounds, as shown in: 
- Fixes Persistence being always-on because of if("persistence_enabled") config.persistence_enabled = 1. As explained:
> it's on by default, which means config.txt will be read and if it's not there it stays at 1. If it is there,it gets set to 1. There is no way to disable it
- Adds config options to enable/disable **Persistence for Maploaded objects**, as well as a verb to toggle such.
- Adds Persistence to config.
Currently IGNORE_MAPLOAD for Persistance is **Disabled.**
Maploaded objects/dirt/etc will be saved by persistence, preserving current behavior.
You will need to update config.txt with the following lines:
\## Uncomment this to DISABLE persistence
\#PERSISTENCE_DISABLED
\## Uncomment this to DISABLE maploaded trash/paper/etc from being saved by the persistence system.
\#PERSISTENCE_IGNORE_MAPLOAD
Adds a HUD for observers
Adds a HUD for rigs and mechs
Adds up/down buttons for AI hud
Add more tg style alerts
Fix some bugs with the tg alerts
Improve icon_states usage by caching it
Redo how respawning works, add a button to ghost hud for it
- Replace changes from 8c7371c5d4
- Removed debugging prints in skybox generation
- Reverted change to GetConnnectedZLevels to avoid the chicken-or-egg initialization issue of find_z_levels() requiring knowledge of a sector's z-levels during the attempt to determine a sector's z-levels.
- Make find_z_levels() always called again so that lazy open space initialization works on landable ships again.
- Instead, allow static configuration of sector map_z to override the default behavior of calling GetConnectedZLevels()
- Instead of using auto_use_power to re-tally up machinery's power usage every cycle, track the steady "static" load separately from the transient "oneoff" usage. Machines then only need to inform the area when they use oneoff power or *change* their steady usage.
- Remove auto_use_power and stop SSmachines from calling it.
- Add vars to track "static" usage for each of the three power channels to /area
- Rename the existing three vars to "oneoff" so its clear what they mean (and to catch people accidentally updating them directly)
- Update area power procs and APCs to use the new variables.
- Rename /area/proc/use_power() to use_power_oneoff() to make it clear what it is doing.
- Deprecate /obj/machinery/use_power() in favor of use_power_oneoff() but don't delete yet. Can transition gradually.
- Add logic to the update_power procs on machines to calculate the deltas and update static area power whenever their usage changes.
- Add logic to machines to update area power when they are created, destroyed, or move.
- Moved /obj/machinery procs related to area power usage into machinery_power.dm to make them easier to find.
- Added or updated comments in several places to explain what is going on and how to use it.
