Ghosts now have a verb "Join Into Soulcatcher" that lists all players, and they can pick one to ask them if they can join into their SC. If they don't have one, it notifies the ghost (this is less expensive than trying to crunch who has a soulcatcher and shortening the list. You can just deal with it okay??). You cannot get backed up if you joined this way, like there's no way to move from being a ghost to being in someone's head to being in a mob. You'd need to ghost and respawn normally. (This is intentional... no sneaky no-manifest people getting in).
And various other SC QOL things:
- Adds NMe and NSay verbs when you get a soulcatcher installed so you can use them in the text parser at the bottom of the window or click them in the verb list like a crazy person. The older emotes also still work.
- Prevents 'loop of madness' where both pred and prey have soulcatchers and it floods your log as it tries to decide who catches who
- Removes minds if the client is disconnected for a long time, or if the player ghosts out of the NIF
From https://github.com/Baystation12/Baystation12/pull/19390 . Ghosts now have a check radiation verb they can use to see the radiation level of where they're standing, similar to geiger counters. Tested in every scenario involving radiation I could think of, and it works just fine.
-The verb causes available empty pAI devices to briefly flash an alert on their screens.
-Didn't add the sound part due to spam protections failing for the sake of annoyance prevention. Just gotta hope someone walks right past when ya do it.
-You can now indicate the things might actually be of use for once without having to resort to metabegging.
* A preface to my madness
Travis failed one of my PR's because I copied old code
that used /red /blue /green.
Because of this, I am going to find and replace every
instance of it that I find.
Also this is a test commit to make sure I'm comitting
to the correct branch.
* /blue /green /red replacements
Dear god.
A slow and painful death from acid is more fun than this.
I wouldn't wish this torture on my worst enemy.
And this is only the beginning
* Replace part 2.
Time to fix the human error.
* Fixes mismatches
* Sets macro count to 220
One above the current number of macros in the code.
* Fixes last of the mismatches.
* Removes spaces, replaces \black
Removes spaces
Replaces \black in a few areas where seen
Replaces \bold with <B> </B> where seen
* Updating macro count again
* More fixes!
* Issues fixed! For real this time!
I swear!
* Fixing all the merge conflict files.
* Since the transcore has a ticker process, it really should be a subsystem. Converted it over. However, because its ticker is so fast, I did not bother implementing MC_TICK_CHECK into it. Therefore it has the SS_NO_TICK_CHECK flag.
* Because its a subsystem, the global variable is now SStranscore instead of transcore.
* Because subsystems are so easy to debug, I removed the "TC" debugging variable from the machines that used it.
* Organized a few files. The transcore subsystem is in the subsystems folder. Defines had to be moved to defines folder so they are included first.
This verb frees your job slot, removes you from the manifest, and removes your mind/body records so you can't be resleeved (if you do this sooner than 15 minutes, medical will not be nodified of your demise). This prevents you from respawning as that character (you can play any other character if you want).
**People should start using this**, it's really helpful to people who want to play your job if you're not coming back. Just use it if you're done for the day, or want to switch characters, or whatever.
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.
Ghosts should be able to hear things once more.
The big bold NEW NEWS notice should remember if one has already seen the news, as the hash was not actually being saved. It's being saved now.
