It probably works. I mean it's hard to sit there for 8 hours and test it. But it seems to work okay. At worst if it doesn't you'll have weather that doesn't make sense. ;v
As a demonstration of the partials inclusion feature, the HTML for the atmospheric scan screen (which was nearly identical between PDAs and Communicators) was moved into a separate file and then transcluded into both pda.tmpl and communicator.tmpl
Also added a README.dm with the very basics of nanoui and template transclusion, and fixed comments in nano_state.js
Jams the three devices that I'm aware of that use subspace communications: Headsets, PDAs, and Communicators.
All three will be unable to communicate if in range of a jammer. The default range is 7 turfs, the battery that comes in the jammer is a weapon cell (just to make it a little harder to find replacements) and lasts 60 seconds. The range and power use are variables.
Speaking through a headset will produce 'soft' or 'loud' static depending on how far you are, allowing you to sort of dead-reckon your way to a placed jammer. You can just carry them, otherwise.
I've got no experience with adding tator items so I'll leave that sort of thing up to you guys.
A lot of new defines are now in inventory_sizes.dm, which contains;
All the size identifiers (the thing that tells the game if something is bulky, or w/e).
Storage costs for all the sizes, which are exponents of two, as previously.
A few constants for inventory size.
Also changes all storage item's capacity definitions by basing it off of how many 'normal slots' exist for it. This allows one to change the definition for all of the defines in the file, and everything will follow along without needing to change 500 files. In testing, I made all ITEMSIZE_COST_* defines doubled, and nothing had broke.
The benefit of doing all of this is that it makes adding new weight classes in the future much simpler, and makes knowing how much space a container has easier, as seeing ITEMSIZE_COST_NORMAL * 7 means it can hold seven normal items.
Ghosts can now text communicators in round, and can be texted by those back.
This is obviously logged, just in-case funny business occurs.
Adds verbs to display a log of messages that a ghost has sent and received, as well as a verb to send a message to a communicator of their choice.
'chu heard me. S'what it does. When you're on a call, there's a "Start Video" button next to each person. When you click it, you actually look through their thing, like a ghost might if they ghostcalled. You have to stay within 1 tile of a video showing communicator to see it.
Multiple people can share one communicator video stream by setting it on a table or whatever, and examining it. There's a message like "It appears to be showing a video: [view]" and you can click view and you can all look at the video. COLLABORATION. SYNERGY. OTHER BUZZWORDS.
I also added the feature of DECLINING requests from people.
Also communicators show up on a special camera list on security consoles, but the same EPv2 network visibility turns this off as well if you wanna be all hidey. This does mean that people with the visiblity on serve as sort of roaming AI cameras for the AI as well. So the AI can watch you repair the outside of the station or whatever if you want.
``/mob/dead/observer`` -> ``/mob/observer/dead``
``/mob/eye`` -> ``/mob/observer/eye``
Reason being that they are similar in that they both don't interact with
the world in any way. Some procs were shared, some checks as well, and
it overall makes more sense this way. Plus, there were no ``/mob/dead``
mobs.
Fixes exonet node research pattern being wrong.
Makes communicators showing up on the ghost communicator list have stricter checks for being able to receive a request.
