Admins can now:
Pause event start countdown.
Add/Remove events to rotation.
Affect the likelihood of events occurring.
Allow one shot events to fire again.
Previously missed Z-level checks in the form "z != X". Utilized this regex which hopefully has cought most of them [zZ](\s?)(!?)=(\s?)(\d+).
Adds more Z-level configuration, admin levels.
We discovered that most of the problems were were having was because of BYOND passing lists (e.g. SE and UI) by-ref instead of the assumed by-val.
This commit adds dna.Clone() and (UI|SE).Copy() where needed. These should be used where DNA or SE/UI lists are COPIED, otherwise changes made in the reference will affect the real strand.
This change also messes with the gene activation logic.
DNA now stores blocks internally as numbers and only makes the uni_identity and struc_enzymes strings when something has changed. This is vastly more efficient.
In addition, the API for using it has been simplified. Common tasks, such as setting a sub-block, or getting a value from the block, are handled entirely by the DNA datum with simple, easy-to-use procs.
Tested on local server, but may need balancing and additional look-over since the code is from our server (/vg/) and I likely broke or forgot something.
= Giant Spiders =
- Nurses spin webs which impede progress, bundle items and mobs up in cocoons, lay eggs to create spiderlings
- Nurses are slow and weak, but their bite has a chance to paralyse the victim
- Spiderlings skitter about and eventually grow into giant spiders.
- Spiderlings will ventcrawl, so they can spread over the station pretty fast.
- Hunters are fast, have decent health and the most effective poison
- Guards are medium speed but the health and direct damage
- The poison of hunters and guards can cause hallucinations if they bite you
= Farm animals =
- Cows can be milked or butchered for a large supply of meat. Sadists can also tip them over (with intent_help).
- Goats can also be milked, but have a nasty temperament.
- Chicks grow up to be chickens, who lay eggs and continue the cycle. But where did it start? (they're very noisy).
- All three are orderable via QM.
My changes:
- Added a spider infestation event.
- Optimized code with spiders and simple_animals.
- Made a /hostile/retaliate type which will only fight back when hurt. Based on Cael's code.
- Added some farm animals on the map.
- Changed events, added a setup() proc which can let you setup variables or the event. Made the event only kill itself when it has called, announce(), start() and end().
- Brainrot will only need alkysine as a cure.
- Communication blackout will always be silent.
- Changed some admin buttons to use the new event system.
- Added a forceEvent proc which you can use when you enable debug verbs.

The old one still exists, mainly so the associated admin buttons still work.
At some point I'll add a nice little panel for event stuff and remove the old procs.
event.dm is pretty well commented, and it should be pretty easy to figure it out.
Casualties of the change are space dust (which should probably be implemented separately if we want it back), the black hole event (which was awful), space ninjas (which didn't turn up), ionstorms (the non-admin ones sucked anyway) and CLANG, which I will probably add at some point, if no one else does first.
Also, I removed pierott's throat from the disease outbreak list. f that s.
Thanks to Sukasa and BS12, as my system is loosely based off of theirs.
Thanks Giacom for help with structuring and especially commenting this.
