Adds Regenerating + Hatch thrown alerts, similar to stunned/weakened/buckled, and clicking will show the remaining time to revive, or allow you to hatch.
Defibrillators will now apply halloss to Xenochimera and set them feral on revive.
Defibrillators will now apply halloss (pain) to everyone on revive.
Medscanners will now display if a Xenochimera is regenerating or needs more protein, and if a 'chimera is dead, will warn that they require sedation.
Reconstitution cooldown reduced from 1 hour to 10 minutes.
Regeneration will no longer handle ferality in the middle of it, preventing edge-case *twitches while clearly regenerating.
Regeneration will now have an audible + visible cue that plays on a 2% chance.
Xenochimera have gained the Lick Wounds Verb.
Lick Wounds has been modified to allow treating self-injuries, and injuries of the mob next to you. Given how limited the use is and how often bandages + chems are just flat-out better, this shouldn't be a huge balance issue, IMO.
Fixed a bug where a micro player could pick themselves up out of storage items if they used alt+click to open it. This would free them, but create an invisible, empty holder item in their hands which could then be placed in storages.
Added the ability for micros (size 25%) and observer mice (size 100% or lower) to drag their sprite over storage items in order to climb inside. Same as if a player were to pick them up and store them.
Fixes zaddat survival lunchbox adding extra glucose hypos on all survival lunchboxes, or more specifically just overriding the loadout survival lunchbox.
adds what is effectively a rebalanced sword.
instead of being in sword family it's in two handed, and allows some tricks.
Like most two handed weapons it gains a damage boost if wield. At 0.3 sharpness it will be as powerful as machete of similar material. Minus the cleave effect. If held with something in your other hand it does 0.1 sharpness, a third of the machete.
Also the parry ability ONLY works if wielded. So you can't use it with a shield or a second parry item. You can't even parry if you have a gun or pen in the other hand.
so pros
can parry
cons
needs an empty hand to parry
if used one handed is 1/3 as powerful as stock gear
starts out as steel and needs mats to upgrade
So, I am not sure how much this will help or hurt.
We have noticed that, there is a lot of lag that happens under heavy radio use, and Ascian noted that the playsound proc was seriously overloaded during those times.
Notably, presently every radio in the game uses playsound to play the radio sound any time anything sends a radio message, even if the radio in question doesn't have the channel the message was sent to.
And if you are unaware, playsound figures out who's in range of every source of sound and their distance from its source to adjust the sounds so that it sounds like it's coming from the right place in the world.
Problem is, if the server's decently busy, that's possibly a hundred things doing that work every time any message comes over a radio.
I thought it would be better if, since the radio systems are ALREADY doing the work of figuring out who can see the radio message, that playsound doesn't actually need to do that work again for tons of different sources.
ADDITIONALLY, the thing to determine if the sound should be played based on preferences is also a part of playsound, meaning that it STILL RUNS PLAYSOUND EVEN IF THE PREFERENCE IS OFF
So! I used byond's direct sound thing which, I THINK just makes your client play the sound and ought to use next to no extra server resources for it.
The only downside is that we lose pitch shifting on the radio sounds, and we lose the sense of 'audio presence' for the sounds in the world.
In short, this means that the radio sound will just, always sound the same no matter where it is in relation to your character. If you receive a radio message, the sound will play on your client.
The sound should also only ever play once for you per message, rather than stacking like it does when lots of people/radios are in the same place.
ASSUMING THIS WORKS HOW I THINK IT DOES, this should reduce a lot of computer work for playsound on busy shifts. (And ideally, increase performance)
This change does also use and respect the same preference that already exists for radio sounds, so there will be no change in how that works.
The item bank doesn't store what such things are made out of, and so, such things will not be correct when retrieved.
This does not block things from being stored when made from the common crafting menu though, since those things spawn a defined item type instead of setting up material properties.
