add: Show your support for the fine arts with these new quirks:
add: Tagger: drawing graffiti takes half as many charges off your spraycan/crayon
add: Photographer: halves the cooldown after taking a picture
add: Musician: tune instruments to temporarily give your music beneficial effects such as clearing minor debuffs and improving mood.
These should be pretty straight forward, musician is especially interesting because you can share tuned instruments with other players, and think it has the potential for some interesting cooperation. For example, as a musician bartender you may decide to hand your tuned instrument to the mime so they can play music and have your customers not stumble around as much while also making them happier!
I don't think there's realistically any balance concerns. Most of the debuffs it clears can already be cleared by drinking tea, they're a pretty rare occurrence in a fight and are usually gone before you have the chance or need to do anything about them. At most helps you walk straight while you're drunk, really.
All these quirks make you start the shift with all the tools of the trade, to make them more worthwhile to take and make the player feel like their quirks are part of their character on a regular basis (ex. a player with the tagger quirk is more likely to make graffiti on a whim, a photographer will always have a camera to take pictures of interesting things etc. whereas they would otherwise have to round up supplies at roundstart every time)
No ingame changelog cause these are supposed to fool people.
Changes:
Hallucinations now pick from a single weighted list, instead of being separated in tiers. The more obvious a hallucinations, the less likely it is to appear.
Hallucination is now a contantly ticking down variable. 1 hallucination = 2 seconds duration. Hallucinating effects have been rebalanced to fit this.
Hallucinations have a random cooldown ranging from 10 to 60 seconds. The status will still tick down in the meantime.
The Sounds hallucinations has been split in three: realistic sounds (likely), weird sounds (rare), and station messages (i.e. the shuttle arrived, blob warning, etc.)(also rare).
The Bolts hallucination now stops you from bumping doors open. You can still click them to open them.
Removed the singulo hallucination. It's pretty much impossible to make it realistic enough, and it's too widely known to scare someone. It's an annoyance and a definite tell that you're hallucinating.
Removed the xeno attack for the same reasons. It was kept in the code to serve as a pseudotemplate for hallucination mobs.
Removed the fake attacker hallucination. Trying to replicate full attack and defense code as well as managing icon generation with blacklists and all is just not worth it. It would never be realistic enough.
RDS hallucinations have been either rolled into normal ones or removed (the OOC ones). No reason to keep them separate, aside from throwing off the hallucination odds (which has resulted in complaints about the cult victory warning being too common).
Added/edited a lot of strings for the text-based hallucinations. I could definitely use a few more for the message hallucination, i got writer's block there.
Floyd / Qustinnus (Sprites by Ausops, Some moodlets by Ike709)
add: Adds mood, which can be found by clicking on the face icon on your screen.
add: Adds various moodlets which affect your mood. Try eating your favourite food, playing an arcade game, reading a book, or petting a doggo to increase your moo. Also be sure to take care of your hunger on a regular basis, like always.
add: Adds config option to disable/enable mood.
add: Indoor area's now have a beauty var defined by the amount of cleanables in them, (We can later expand this to something like rimworld, where structures could make rooms more beautiful). These also affect mood. (Janitor now has gameplay purpose besides slipping and removing useless decals)
remove: Removes hunger slowdown, replacing it with slowdown by being depressed
imageadd: Icons for mood states and depression states
What this PR is
This PR adds a system that allows player to gain and lose moodlets based on events occuring to, and around them. These events then give the player a mood value based on what it is. For example a hug could give you +1 mood, while being stabbed in the eye with a screwdriver can give -5 mood. All these moodlets together determine the mood of your character which currently affects the following things:
Movement speed - If you are very sad you move slower. Replacing movement slow from hunger. (hunger now instead affects mood)
Screen blur - If you are sad you gain an overlay that slightly blurs the screen, increasing in severity as you get sadder.
Interaction / do after speed - If you are sad or happy your interaction speed with things such as handcuffs is changed. with a 25% longer time if you are sad, or 10% shorter time if you are extremely happy.
Hunger rate - You gain hunger slower if you are very happy.
