* Creating new objects is cheap, in fact comparable to the cost of getting it out of the pool, so it doesn't help there.
* Placing items in the pool is far more expensive than letting them garbage collect due to the resetting of vars and such.
While I was rooting around in hydroponics code, I saw that a list was being regenerated with UI interaction, so I threw the list into the plant controller.
No proper sprites for the Floral Somatoray's new mode yet, but it uses the gun sprite from mutate mode, and the projectile sprite from yield mode.
Adds a fairly simple system that allows adjusting various numbers like max health, incoming damage, outgoing melee damage, etc. The nice part is that changing certain variables this way (like max health) is a lot safer than manually setting the max health var directly.
Changes a lot of short lines of code to point towards a variable's getter or setter helper instead of reading the var directly so the modifiers can work.
Endoarmor, delayed toxin sting, Enfeebling sting, and recursive adrenaline overdose now use the modifier system.
Enfeebling sting now only lasts two minutes, from five minutes, however it now also reduces the victim's melee damage by 25%/50%, and increases the damage they suffer by 10%/35%, for normal and recursive respectively.
Delayed Toxin Sting's effects are now felt all at once instead of over the course of a few minutes.
Dual mode stun-beam and net launcher, craftable in R&D. Would be legal for security to have on green since it's non-lethal. The stun beam has 10 shots like the taser, and the net launcher has 2 (uses the same energy). So basically 5 stun+1 net, or 2 nets, or 10 stuns.
Uses a new overlay system for updating it's icon rather than the "have one state for every possible combination" to prevent a huge mess of iconstates. Maybe Joan could look at this and use it sometime.
* Added happy friend time mechanics working properly for fox and cat.
* Added vore mechanics and vore overrides
* No longer enable vore on simple animals by creating a "/vore" subtype. Instead we simply enable vore on the main type. Consensus being we don't need a type for non-vore versions of stuff.
* This allowed us to revert many path references throughout the codebase to the original non-vorestation back to their original values. In these cases the "Vorestation Edit" comment is removed.
* Moved the vore overrides for upstream simple animals into its own file zz_vore_overrides.dm
Hand-held flashes now do 30 halloss per flash, if the person lacks flash protection.
Hand-held flashes now can be used 10 times per minute instead of five, due to needing ~4 flashes to down someone.
Flash rounds do 20 halloss if the mob hit lacks flash protection.
* Voremob tweaks, bellies now escapable
Also disabled all the non-vore variants in the code to avoid confusion,
excluding aliens for now, since other stuff is handled there.
* comment removal
* Zoo.dmm hotfix
Makes the snakes play nice.
* Travis stop being a cunt
* Minor Tweak
