Added a new mob, Scel, created by Kira72.
Comes in 5 different colours. This mob is relatively rare in random mob spawners. It's a retaliate mob with a detailed belly. It looks like a snake-like creature with black flesh and neon liquid visible beneath patches of it. When attacking, it has a 50/50 chance of using a special attack of either a tongue grab or lunge. Added to the maint pred options too.
Fixed a missing item in Rain City.
Added a new admin spawn map which is literally just the Rascal's Pass shuttle in space.
Removed the great wolf catalogue entry from the crypt drake.
Added raptor vore mobs. They're retaliate mobs with a digestion focus. They have weight gain sprites and get a little chunkier after at least partially digesting someone (or otherwise gaining nutrition).
Added the raptors and bats to the maint pred list.
Added the raptors, bats, vampires and succubi to the semirandom vore mob list.
Adjusts some types to tidy up the mob list. Put some of the mobs that can vore under the vore tab, removed the clown mobs from /mobs_monsters because they were the only thing in there, so there wasn't really any point in hiding them a level deeper, and generally looked for subtypes that didn't have anything in them, and commented those out. Did you know that telesci is supposed to have a chance to spawn hostile mobs if you mess up? It's true! I may or may not have fixed it, I don't play telesci, but it uses a path that actually has mobs in it now.
Fixes unreported bug where survivor pods would not send a query.
This was caused due to imperfect fix to inability to opt out from it for the round.
tweak(survivorpod): Makes it clear when the pod was clicked on
Does this by making a visible_message when clicked and changing its description
Replacing the ghetto snowflake xenomorph egg with a ghost pod, for ease of use and for streamlining purposes. Tweaks a few xenomorph things in the process.
The mob cooldown thing from upstream made everything with a positive number in the variable be ultra slow. I'm not sure how it was that the variable was broken previously considering that the higher the number was the slower things went, but now it's ultra slow or nothing! cringe.
Adjusts some of the mobs I've made that are supposed to not be slow to still not be slow, as well as touches up a couple of things with squirrels
The announcement only really encourages people to go hunting for it, and usually not in the good way, which can in general ruin the surprise that these roles can employ.
So! I think it would be better if we just didn't announce them publicly, since they aren't a thing we ever want people to go and respond to mechanically, and, I think that announcements like these ought to be reserved for things we want people responding to.
There are some mobs you can play as now that are PRETTY ABUSABLE, and there's some players who play fine normally, but get into trouble and take things too far when you put them in special roles, SO! Rather than just flat banning those people from the server, it would be cool if we could just, ban them from playing those roles.
This should help with that.
What's there doesn't really give any hints about what's allowed or expected, so, I added some, since there's been some understandable misunderstandings.
