Lets admins set temporary notices that will last until the end of the round.
* All players that join the server will see this notice.
* Anyone can check it using the Adminnotice verb
* Also adds the motd verb that can be used to check the server's message of the day
The intention of this is to make it easier for admins and server hosts to run special events.
Adds anomalies, special effects which tie into the event system.
Ports bholes into an anomaly, cleans up their code.
Adds new gravitational anomalies. Imagine a trampoline.
Flux event is now an anomaly.
Adds a new pyro anomaly.
Using the dropdown menu / changing health / names of people in view variables now actually requires +VAREDIT.
Shuttle moving moved from +FUN to +ADMIN for convenience sake.
+ADMIN now required to view antagonists / law changes, before it was only required to check antags via verbs, which you could get around through the secrets menu.
+ADMIN Also now required to view all of the special information given about players in who menu (like antagonist status), but all admins can still see stealth keyed admins.
- The admins now have the ability to kick all or just afk clients from the lobby
- When admins use this action, a list of kicked clients is sent to admins and into the log.
- Added a confirmation message to the admin command.
Blob Gamemode Revamp
Blob gamemode is back and better than ever.
The blob is selected from be_alien candidates and is controled like a real time strategy game.
Re-introduced the concept of a player controlling the blob in an RTS fashion, expanding the blob and building structures such as nodes and factories.
All blobs will try to find ghosts, with the BE_ALIEN flag, to be the blob overmind. Even random event blobs will try to get players to play as the overmind.
Added a /mob/camera that is now being used by the AI eye and the blob overmind. It is a mob that isn't dead but acts as a camera for the player, to be controlled by something like the AI or the blob.
There are now a resource currency for the blob to spend it's points on blob expansion and upgrades.
Added a small blob_act to mechs.
Made all camera mobs max invisibility. Because of this I removed the AI best friend button as it would be not working.
Blob mode will send a normal intercept report.
Makes the "coder secrets" in secrets panel become general secrets for all admins. Adding myself to admins.txt for test server purposes, in case I ever forget to change it again.
Reasons:
It's very helpful to use the admin log for a quick glance to see who spawned the mateba for the clown, rather than open the serverlog to check.
Plus I see no reason why it should be restricted to coders, considering it's not really at all able to affect the game by admins seeing it.
Testing force overwrite
Cheridan broke my git the first time, here's try #2!

-Added traitor_scaling_coeff and changeling_scaling_coeff to server configuration files, allowing server operators to adjust the values to their preference.
-Updated changelog
-Adds a humanize() proc
-Changes monkeyize() proc to a child of mob/living/carbon (not implemented or tested with anything beside humans, though)
-Adds various options for monkeyize and humanize as binary flags
-Removed all instances of monkey transformation code being copy pasted (dna, changeling, adminverbs) and replaced them with monkeyize(). This fixed various issues with admin-verbs where mobs would ghost after transformation due to invalid use of transfer_to (mind transfer proc).
-Humans will now retain their old name if turned into a monkey and back provided their UE are unchanged
-Transformation from monkey into human will now deal the same amount of damage as human to monkey.

- Adds two new types of bans: admin tempbans and admin permabans. These ban types are in reaction to the rising number of banworthy admin issues. The original intent was to make admins unbannable ingame, so players could not spoof admin computer ids to get admins banned, with the assumption that admin issues will be rare and a big deal when they happen. They have however started becoming ever more common, so some tools are required to allow for admin self-policing.
- Each admin can have a maximum of one active admin ban (temporary or permanent) logged to their name. This is to prevent rogue admins from just banning everyone who could ban them. These bans are also not intended to be 'permanent-permanent'. They are intended to serve as a temporary fix, to get rid of rogue admins until the server host or another admin with rdp access (or +PERMISSIONS if you use DB_Admin) can deal with the rogue admin's removal. Once that is done, a normal permaban or tempban can be applied, and the admin permaban/tempban removed, restoring the banning admin's 1 allowed admin ban.
- Admin bans are considered a big deal, so they also send a message to irc, when they are applied.
- NOTE: Admin bans only check the connecting person's ckey. The risk of computer id spoofing still exists, so it's better not to have them check ips and computer ids. The admin abilities are given based on ckey anyway, so a ckey ban should be enough in most cases.
Other changes to bans
- Added a few variables to the funciton that adds a ban: maxadminbanchec (which is for admin bans and checks how many bans the admin can still apply); announceinirc and blockselfban (which prevents admins from applying the ban type on themselves. Currently applied for permaban, tempban, admin permaban, admin tempban)
- Changed the appearance ban database constant from APPEARANCE_BAN to APPEARANCE_PERMABAN, to make it more compatible with the ban log at http://www.ss13.eu/tgdb/banoverview.php
- Added a missing sanity check to topic.dm for appearance bans
- Renamed appearance bans to identity bans in admin panels (as per Pete's request)
Since tag replaces the output of the \ref[] macro, this means that menus which use hrefs with \ref[mob] will no longer be able to accidentally link to the wrong mob.
The tags are of the form "mob_475" etc
Admin_pms now use ckey instead of client-reference. This means that PMs will no longer accidentally get sent to the wrong people.
There is no risk of players using hrefs to send adminhelps to known admin ckeys to see if they are online (as I'd already changed the PM system to not tell non-admin users whom received their message).
key_name() now accepts text input (key or ckey) - it is slightly more efficient to feed it a client or mob however!
This functionality is provided to allow certain admintools to become more robust when we want to talk about e.g. a griefer whom has just DCed whom no-longer has a corpse (no client/mob...just a ckey reference).
key_name() now reports DCed players properly.
All usage of it on silicons is replaced by is_special_character()
is_special_character moved from admin.dm to mob_helpers.dm
Also fixed a runtime having to do with objectives.
Removed the administration shuttle and the stupid alien dinghy.
Removed the beach (hey, it's an away mission now).
Removed syndicate deathsquads on account of them being stupid and redundant.
Temporarily removed regular deathsquads- search for "DEATH SQUADS" to find the locations to uncomment. Additional code is in unused/specops.dm and unused/specops_shuttle.dm.
Added a single tile fake window for unsim windows.

Renamed "Toggle station artificial gravity" to "Trigger a gravity-failure event" to better describe what the button does.
Removed the following buttons:
- Make all items look like guns
- Japanese Animes Mode (Resolves issue 1024.)
- Remove 'internal' clothing
- Remove ALL clothing
- Remove firesuits, grilles and pods
- Toggle Prison Shuttle Status(Use with S/R)
- Send Prison Shuttle
- Return Prison Shuttle
- Warp all Players to Prison
- Ghost mode
The first five are just plain dumb, made worse by the fact that they apparently haven't worked in ages.
The next four, prison station buttons, are being removed because we have no prison station!
Ghost mode was removed for being horribly coded, laggy and has the potential to break some of our other code.

Ported all the random events to Pete/Gia's event system:
>Event system now supports weighting. default is 10. a weight of 5 is half as likely as default, 20 twice as likely....etc.
>Increased the frequency of events (dust happens over 60% of the time though)
>tidied up some ninja code: ninjas now get ~5 objectives. So they are hardmode.
>made the gravity toggle into a random event
>event system now supports round-start events
>event system now supports holiday events
>event system now supports events which can only happen after the round has lasted a certain number of ticks
>event system now supports max_occurrences for events. Setting any event's max_occurrences to 0 will stop it randomly occurring
>events now support being fed associative lists inside new(). This allows you to override their variables easily.
>wormhole events no longer cause loads of lag. They are extremely deadly. wormholes should be avoided
Other:
>replaced the procs for fetching candidates for ninjas and aliums with /proc/get_candidates(be_special_flag), it returns a list of active clients with that be_special preference enabled.
>minor fixes to minds
>your memories are displayed to you at Login()
>removed aliens_allowed
>removed ninjas_allowed
>pick_n_take() is now more efficient (uses Cut() rather than Remove()
Things I added:
- Made the pandemic call ..() instead of doing the checks itself.
- Made the staff of animation use more charge.

- Made goats/cows not give infinite milk but instead slowly generate milk in their udder for collecting.
- Lowered speak chance for chickens and added a limit for how many chickens can be bred.
- Lowered the chances of an egg to be a chicken hatching egg.
- If you put an egg in your pocket it won't be a chicken hatching egg anymore.
- Chickens won't spawn inside you anymore.
- Added some abstract classes to the list of things that shouldn't spawn with slime cores.
- Increased the time between events.
- Added a spawn spiders button for admins.

-Permission from Erro to remove the "redeem a mech by colllecting all the toys" feature. Removed the description from the mech toys too.
-Fixed a possible exploit with ghost following to create more than one follow loop.
-Re-added send mob to the player panel.

This should remove the half second delay that admins experience whenever they right click. The delay goes up as server load increases. I couldn't test this on an empty server tho, obviously.

You can now modify specialrole candidacy mid-round and it will save changes to your savefile.
Added a BE_NINJA flag. Doesn't do anything yet. If somebody wants to implement it, go for it.
Moved prefrences stuff from new_player to the folder /code/modules/client/
Renamed toggles so they appear in a nice order.

Toggling these preferences in-game will update your savefile. Meaning that your preferences will persist between rounds.
Added some savefile_version updating stuff. It's pretty crude. If you're changing any of the savefile stuff just ask and I can change it/help.
Removed some unused client vars
Ghosts no longer hear ambience. Simplified ambience code.
Simplified lobby music code. It will no longer cause a massive queue of events (which would eventually balloon in memory use)
Moved ooccolor and sound_adminhelp back to prefs. It's easier and allowed me to remove the setupclient() stuff completely.
