They include such procs as sanitize_integer(num, min, max, default) which will check num is a number, round num to make it an integer, then check if it is between min and max (inclusive). If it fails the bound-checks it will return default. There are others, have a look.
PERSISTENT PREFERENCES: Every ckey which connects to the game gets its own persistent /datum/preferences datum.
It is archived in var/list/preferences_datums = list("ckey" = datum)
At connect it is automatically associated with the client defines.dm (or a new one is created if it can't find an archived prefs datum). This means clients will ALWAYS have a var/datum/preferences/prefs which references this datum. So you can use it without checking if(client.prefs)
This has simplified only a few bits of code. It will however, allow us to make preferences like see_deadchat ghost_ears etc, persistent. So they will not reset when you DC.
SAVEFILES: Changed the player savefile code a lot. Hopefully I've not fucked it up too much. Every single variable loaded from saves is now sanity checked using the new sanity procs. This should help prevent savefiles becomming obsolete by sanitizing input to meet current requirements, without deleting all the ok variables and making you start from scratch >_> NOTE: I still need to sort out the savefile version stuff. I'll probably figure it out before the server updates anyway. It sees to be fine without it.
You can no longer choose your blood type. It is randomised (with each bloodtype having a realistic probability of occuring). This is to make blood analysis (detective/medical) less pointless. It is chosen as soon as you connect. It remains persistent throughout each round so you won't be able to change it by logging in/out over and over.
Replaces some copypasta code with is_afk() (still a fair bit to do)
There are new hyperlink shortcut things. _src_=vars will direct your hyperlink to viewvars. _src_=prefs to your preferences datum. (These are the only way to access those bits of code via links). This means that the overall amount of operations in almost every Topic has pretty much halved and is much prettier.
Replaced and removed adminplayervars from datum/admins/Topic. It was superfluous. They now all point directly to the viewvars code using _src_=vars
Removed the changelog popup at round start. Instead a button on your game-window will glow white if there are new updates. To peruse at your convenience. This will speed up connect times.
Removed the AFK_THRESHOLD define. It is integrated into is_afk() now.
TODO: remove the prefs stuff from mobs and clients and update code to use client.prefs to access that info.

Before, when making a link to an admin tool, you done this:
<a href='?src=\ref[C.holder];parameter=1;>link</a>
Now, we do not need to use a reference to direct it to places like usr or usr.client.holder (or client, but you never needed src for that anyway)
usr: <a href='?_src_=usr;parameter=1;>link</a>
holder: <a href='?_src_=holder;parameter=1;>link</a>
This basically allows us to move a LOT of code outside of loops as we no longer have to create a \ref for every recipient of the message. They can all be sent identical links. A simple example of this would be in pray.dm Although it's most noticeable in the adminhelp code which is vastly simplified.
Adminhelp name spotting code thingy...whatever... looks for ckey matches first, then surnames, then forenames. This is to stop it possibly weirding out if there is a station full of "Ed"s of "Sarah"s
Prayer code no longer loads a new icon into memory every time a prayer is sent. Use image() not icon()!
key_name() no longer needs a reference for it's admin_link argument.
message_admin() pretty much doesn't need those extra arguments for finding and replacing %holder_ref%. I've got to go through all the code to check before I remove it though.

Integrated the sql and standard admin_rank stuff a little. Still needs some work.
Permissions Panel has a sexy floating search bar. The scripts and stylesheets are external files which will be sent to every client at connect, so they can be used in any panel you wish with no additional overheads.
If there are any bugs with the permissions panel (particularly the search bar) please let me know. thanks.
rights2text now has a seperator argument. It defaults to "", but can be any string, for instance "<br>"

-Fixes Issue 1085 - Artificers creating turfs with buggy lighting
-Spells now will use the proper proc to create turfs
Due to the amount of files changed, this is just the 'part one'. The merging in turf.dm is not finished, mineral walls and buildmode are still using the old system. The creation of turfs on the game panel is not using the proper procs yet. Stay tuned for this changes, but now, sleep.

Fixed advance diseases using the same reference in mobs.
Fixed advance diseases referencing other advance diseases' symptoms, instead of just copying it.
I tested it more thoroughly this time and I can't find any issues but if you do please add them to the bug tracker and or contact me on #coderbus.
Added a new reaction which will remove symptoms from a disease. Needs blood and synaptizine.
Added a new symptom, shivering will make you cold.
Tweaked and balanced some symptoms.
Removed the "flex" emote that hulks will do randomly.
Reduced the change to speak for hulks and brain damaged mobs. ( 7% -> 3% chance)
Please let me know if anything is out of place or wrong.

Likewise, removed the spawn_xeno verb and made an equivalent bit of code in the FUN section of the secrets panel.
Fixed the create_xeno proc. It was supposed to ask you which type of alien to spawn but it was sending the popup to src, which should have been usr.
Create_xeno can now spawn queens and larva.
Create_xeno is fed a ckey (optional) rather than a ghost mob. Which will make it more versatile and reliable should clients log out during popups and such.
Created an client.is_afk(duration) proc. If the client has been inactive for duration frames (11 frames is roughly 1 second), it will return the number of frames it has been inactive. Otherwise it returns 0. If no duration value is given it defults to 3000 which is roughly 5 minutes. There's a bunch of code I need to replace with this which I will do after I've got the rest of the admin rank stuff finished as that takes priority.

Moved fun (admin-event stuff) up to badmin rank.
deadchat visibility defaults to on
removed update_admin()

- Moved 'reload admins' into the SERVER permission. It already had a check for R_SERVER when it was run, so it being in the debug list was likely a typo. There should probably be an ADVANCEDADMIN permission type or something, that contains the admin-related tools that you don't want all admins to have access to. A 'game masters only' list of verbs, so to speak.
- Edited admin_ranks.txt and the other dm files accordingly.
- Standardized diagnostics.dm
PS: I really love permission based admin verb assignment. So much easier to work with!

SERVER HOSTS:
This commit replaces the existing admin-rank system. It is now more customizable.
Admin.txt essentially works the same as it always has. Each line should look like:
ckey - admin rank
There is now however, an admin_ranks.txt. This textfile allows you to define ranks like so:
admin rank +ADMIN +FUN +BUILD
the +KEYWORD are flags adding permissions to that rank. There are brief descriptions in the text-file explaining what they do.
You can now name the ranks anything you like, and give them the permissions you want them to have. This allows, for instance, ranks like:
Game Admin on disciplinary +ADMIN +BAN
This would give that game admin only the tools they need to admin. They would not have access to 'fun' verbs which control events and antags.
There's lots of things you can do. For instance, a coder rank whom can debug stuff but cannot do admin tasks:
Codermin +DEBUG +VAREDIT +SERVER
There's lots you can do. As it evolves it will hopefully become more flexible.
admin_ranks.txt defaults to use the old admin rank names.
Apologies in advance as there will be a lot of anomalies, such as ranks losing verbs they once had. Please let me know about any problems. I can fix them quite easily simply by moving verbs between the lists or splitting the lists up into new flags.
CODERS:
There is now a check_rights(flags) proc.
It check is usr is and admin and has -at least one of- the rights specified.
It checks > usr < not src, so keep that in mind!
If you need to check if something other than usr has specific tights, you can do if(holder.rights & R_ADMIN) etc.
KNOWN ISSUES:
+FUN probably needs to be split up into +MOBS and +EVENTS
In-game promotion/demotion is currently disabled. It will be readded after everything else works ok.
Erro's sql rights changes stuff is currently commented out. It will be re-added.
There are still many many verbs which need updating.
Apologies in advance for any inconvenience.

>tried to make the comments less confusing.
>Removed the procs for rebuilding the lists (they weren't meant to be used and half were broken anyway).
>added a directory. It maps ckey to client like so directory[ckey] = client. It could be used for PMs, banning, and various other admin tools rather than using \ref[]
>var/list/admins is now a list of clients whom are admins.
>var/list/admin_datums is what var/list/admins used to be. A map from ckey -> admin datum
Most of this is so I can add modular admin ranks in a non-horrendous way and fix some existing issues.
>var/list/client_list is now var/list/clients (laziness sorry)

-Made a proc which will select active candidates.
BALANCE STUFF
-Acid is less random.
-Humans being disarmed by Aliens is no longer a random duration, instead it is a constant 10, instead of the random 10 to 15.
-Facehugger throw range was reduced to 5.
-Laying eggs costs 75 plasma (from 50) and secreting resin costs 75 plasma (from 100).
-Reduced stun duration of Alien disarm to Cyborgs. From 10 to 7.
