- The current, file-based ban system is now a legacy system, the use of which is strongly discouraged for servers, which are constantly online.
- Added a database-based banning system, with a new baning panel, accessible through the 'banning panel' verb. Servers, which use this new banning system, will get the new panel up even if they use the old 'unban panel' or 'display job bans' verbs. These remain there for legacy support purposes. (Panel screenshot below)
- The most notable benefits of the new system are the ability to add offline bans, meaning the person does not have to be connected for a ban to be applied to their name. The second benefit is the ability to look up all previous bans that the person had.
- The major disadvantage is the complete incompatibility between the old and new system, meaning you have to either do a lot of copy-pasting or playing around in code to sync the old system with the new one. Servers upgrading to this system might want to consider a purge of all bans, if they don't want to go through this. Due to the incompatibility, there are no transition tools provided. Please contact me (errorage/rageroro) in #coderbus for help in syncing your database. The /tg/ legacy and database systems have been synced.
- The server configuration defaults to use the legacy system, as the new one requires the database to be set up. Please hash BAN_LEGACY_SYSTEM in config.txt as explained, to use the new system. If the database connection fails, the server reverts to the legacy system.
If any bugs or errors appear with either the legacy or new ban system, please let me know ASAP. The same applies if there are any syncronization problems between the legacy and new system, resulting in banned people unbanned or unbanned people banned.

- Fixed pulse rifle, energy sword, blackhole and mob spawning
- Fixed 'reload admins' not properly updating the 'admins' list, which made adminwho fail, along with some other things.
- Fixed a bug, which prevented admin from even being loaded properly in some circumstances, in the database admin system.

- Standardized the database library code
- Deleted a few unused database related files (karma and forum activation), so they won't get in my way later. They work off of no longer existent database tables.
- Made it so the server maintains a constant connection with the database, which is established on world/New() and never broken, until the server ends. If 5 consecutive database connection attempts result in no connection getting established, the server will not attempt any more connections. Made all existing database connections use the global continuous connections. Currently we need two, as we have two databases, but the old database is going to get moved into the new one.
- Fixed the spaghetti-like report in the permissions panel, which happened when someone had many permissions enabled.
- Added database connection reports to display to dream daemon on server startup.

-The firedoor wasn't updating the freelook camera. When I looked at it I couldn't figure out why it was using it's own "rebuild" code, supposedly it only updates the air that it set in the dir variable but the current map doesn't utilize it at all (firelocks with a dir of 8 which are lined horizontalally), and you would have to have two thick wide firelocks to make it effective. I've commented it out and I'll put it back in if we have problems.

All /world/ stuff that I've found is now in code/world.dm instead of being scattered throughout the code in 6-7 files.
*****IMPORTANT*****
This means that hub.dm is now part of world.dm. Server hosts using the hub will likely have to redo the hub/password variables!
Again, that stuff is now located in code/world.dm

New Borgs now sync with the AI with the fewest associated borgs. So, say there were 3 AIs and 6 borgs, each would get two each.
Cyborg cells now default to 7500 (like the transform procs do), this is so admin-spawn borgs don't end up with 1500-charge cells with a max of 1000-charge.
Default lawset is asimov rather than an empty lawset
pulsing a borg's sync wire will cause it to randomly pick an AI.

Cleaned up the files themselves.
Everything in code/game/objects should now be in proper files or places with the exception of the files in the /weapons/ sub-folder.
There's two instances of me not following the exact file structure.
- /obj/item/brain has been moved to a file in mob/living/carbon/brain
- /obj/item/clothing/mask/facehugger has been moved into mob/living/carbon/alien/special
Both of these may not make sense according to the object structure, but they do make sense logically. If it's a problem just move them.
Next up: Finish the files in the weapon folder, then start moving defines down.
My god I hope I havent broken everything.

Comments for lighting:
Like sd_DAL (what we used to use), it changes the shading overlays of areas by splitting each type of area into sub-areas
by using the var/tag variable and moving turfs into the contents list of the correct sub-area.
Unlike sd_DAL however it uses a queueing system. Everytime we call a change to opacity or luminosity
(through SetOpacity() or SetLuminosity()) we are simply updating variables and scheduling certain lights/turfs for an
update. Actual updates are handled periodically by the lighting_controller. This carries additional overheads, however it
means that each thing is changed only once per lighting_controller.processing_interval ticks. Allowing for greater control
over how much priority we'd like lighting updates to have. It also makes it possible for us to simply delay updates by
setting lighting_controller.processing = 0 at say, the start of a large explosion, waiting for it to finish, and then
turning it back on with lighting_controller.processing = 1.
Unlike our old system there is a hardcoded maximum luminosity. This is to discourage coders using large luminosity values
for dynamic lighting, as the cost of lighting grows rapidly at large luminosity levels (especially when changing opacity
at runtime)
Also, in order for the queueing system to work, each light remembers the effect it casts on each turf. This is going to
have larger memory requirements than our previous system but hopefully it's worth the hassle for the greater control we
gain. Besides, there are far far worse uses of needless lists in the game, it'd be worth pruning some of them to offset
costs.
Known Issues/TODO:
admin-spawned turfs will have broken lumcounts. Not willing to fix it at this moment
mob luminosity will be lower than expected when one of multiple light sources is dropped after exceeding the maximum luminosity
Shuttles still do not have support for dynamic lighting (I hope to fix this at some point)
No directional lighting support. Fairly easy to add this and the code is ready.
When opening airlocks etc, lighting does not always update to account for the change in opacity.
Explosions now cause lighting to cease processing temporarily.
Moved controller datums to the code/controllers directory. I plan on standardising them.
"Master","Ticker","Lighting","Air","Jobs","Sun","Radio","Supply Shuttle","Emergency Shuttle","Configuration","pAI" controller datums can be accessed via the debug controller verb (used to be the debug master controller verb)
Supply shuttle now uses a controller datum. Shuttles tend to arrive up to 30 seconds late, this is not a bug.

-I've added some cameras to rooms that should have cameras but were previously depending on other camera's using their X-Ray vision in order to see into a room.
-AIs have a multitool in their contents that they can use to interact with the telecommunication machines.
-Added "Follow" for observers. Works the same as AI tracking without checking if they can track.
-Added a range to how far Cyborgs can interact with machines. This is to stop Cyborgs from interacting with machines through cameras, which could be used to easily disable the AI.

-TCommsat machines no longer use their Z level to check if they can receive the signal or not. Instead, they use listening_level. It defaults to 0 for machines that don't change the value. If it is 0 when the telecomms machine's New() is called it will set itself to it's Z level.
-This allows you to manually change the value to other Z levels. I call this an off-site relay. I've added an off-site relay on the satelitte for the station and removed the one in the communications room.
-Players can create an offsite relay with two receivers, two broadcasters and, if necessary, a relay. Why two receivers and broadcasters? Otherwise any player can go to the Ruskie/Mining relays and turn them into off-site relays for the station! It would harm the TCommsat's usefulness. Instead, you will have to setup another broadcaster and receiver if you want to do that. Though it may be pointless, if someone sabotages the Commsat they would have destroyed/depowered the other machines there too.
-About the option to have an offsite relay, there is only a single Z level that you can lock onto at the moment and that's the station. Gameplay wise, the TCommsat is orbiting the station and if we do get the away missions then it would not make sense for the TCommsat's broadcaster/receiver signal to be able to pickup there. More sense if the Receivers and Broadcasters from there
are sent here... maybe. I don't know, seems more fun this way.
-Fixed an issue that doesn't let the Engineer Borg (or Borgs with multitools) be able to link machines with their multitool module.
-All-In-Ones do not have a Z level restriction. They can pick up ALL signals and send ALL signals (to Z levels 1-10)
-Fixed an issue with the player being unable to remove frequencies from the filter.
-Added support for additional interaction options for certain machines. To use it, create a new Options_Menu() and Options_Topic(href, href_list) for your machine.
-Added EMP_ACT to Telecommunication Machines. I've also added an event called "telecommunications_blackout()", it will loop through all telecomm machines, in telecomms_list, and EMP_ACT them. The EMP will last 2 minutes. Currently only admins can use it.
-Fixed issue 831
-Changed the map. The station no longer has the station relay, it is now on the Satellite. There's an empty room now, it should be used for something after the feature freeze.

There are many files, folders and chunks of code in areas that make absolutely no sense and thanks to the defines being located mostly in a completely separate file, it can be damn-near impossible to find something. Before moving defines to where the rest of their code is located; I'm going to move some code around into places that actually make sense to begin with. I'll mainly be focusing on the code/game/objects folder.
This commit mainly lays the groundwork for the work I'll be doing by adding in the effects, structures, decals and turfs folders. I'll slowly be moving appropriate files and code into these folders. I may end up moving machinery into 'objects' and mech stuff into its own module folder but I'll ask for some opinions on coderbus before doing that.
I've also gotten rid of the /magic/ folder. I've moved the library stuff into its own folder in modules/library, the cult stuff is now in gamemode/cult with the rest of it and musician.dm is now in objects/structures since the piano is a structure apparently.
I think I've got the hang of how DM and SVN handles folders and files but it's quite possible that something will break simply by svn committing it oddly. Please let me know if that's the case!
Remember to clean compile.

-Made a variation of hasvar(), creatively named has_var(), intended for objects versus datums, and the var name is case sensitive
-Clean up mech fabricator code considerably, the terrible switches are all gone, and I was able to make it more robust at the same time. Now, if a junk item is added to the mech fab then it will remove it in 1 of 2 places, either when you call for the queue to be displayed (Will throw it out then rebuild the queue) or when it is processing the queue (Will throw it out then reprocess the building), so now you won't even see the shit that finds its way in there.
-Made the add_part_to_set() useful, now instead of dumping everything in the "Exosuit Equipment" category, it checks if the design's category matches one of the part sets, then adds it to said set if it does (All others get dumped into "Misc"). Right now there isn't much through, mostly just moving MMIs, cells, etc... to the "Misc" set, but this would be easy to use with any other system that handles designs
-Little bit of OCD here, but I noticed that the cells on the map were all 'crap' cells, even though they had 1.5x the charge of a high-capacity cell, so I changed them all to high-capacity cells with the added capacity

I then changed the get_mobs_in_view() to use this proc for gathering mobs and radios.
The old system would loop through lists for a total of 5000 per function call, in an empty server. This new system will loop at around 1000 in an empty server.
I made get_mobs_in_radio_ranges() use a level parameter to help make it more effecient by only bothering with the mobs that are in the Z level that are getting the radio message.

Minds part2 - Carn loses her mind.
The way datum/mind stuff works has been changed a lot. I really can't explain everything. If you have any questions it'd just be easier if you leave a comment or ask me in coderbus.
Generally, minds now represent IC characters rather than following a client around constantly. Minds can change owners, mobs, (names WIP).
Technical babble:
The var/current and var/original variables of the mind datum must always be of type mob/living (or null). Please do not mind.transfer_to(ghost_mob). If you want to ghost somebody use ghostize()! It will do all the technical stuff for you.
mob/dead/observer/var/corpse was removed. mob/dead/observer/var/mind is now used as a reference to the last mind the player had (so respawning code has something to reference), but also because mind.current is a far more useful way of tracking a corpse. If somebody triggers a mind.transfer_to() call on your corpse, your mind will be tranfered to another mob/living or something...that will then be considered your corpse. This could allow for more interesting mind_transfers. For instance, the "raise corpse" rune ghostizes any player in the corpse to be raised and selectes a random dead player to take possesion of their character! The person possesing them will have all of their memories, objectives, etc. The poor guy who was originally the owner cannot re-enter body if there is another player in his body...but if that player is ghosted he can once again return. Exorcisms anybody?
Changes to cloning and hydroponics. I will likely have to rework these later as they're hacky as hell right now.
A lot of stuff is now handled by Login/Logout rather than in hundreds of different places. One such example, mind datums get their variables updated at Login and Logout.
Fixed a few minor bugs. I'll update the issues manually in a bit because I literally cannot think atm.
TL;DR guide:
-If you want to make somebody a ghost use ghostize(). Or you will need to find a doctor to stitch your bits back on. :)
-You don't have to worry about making minds. Simply doing key="carnwennan" or whatever will either: A) make a new mind and initialise it if there isn't one or B) take possession of the mind currently attached to the mob.
-It's safe to transfer a mind even if a key isn't in-body (e.g. they are ghosted/admin-observing etc!) Minds have an active variable which tracks whether they are currently synced with a key. This is to avoid dragging ghosts back into their bodies when say, a wizard mind_transfers them.
-Transferring a mind whilst var/active=1 will cause the following: mob.key = mind.key. So no need to do that separately (in fact you'll lag things if you do, so don't)
-If you do want to initialize a mind manually, say if you don't have a client to login to the mob yet, simply do new_mob.mind_initialize(). Simple! When someody is logged into that mob they will take ownership of the mind and it will sync up.
NOTE: a lot is probably broken since this is a pretty massive change. Please let me know asap (with actual info! Shouting at me, "IT BORKED HALP", doesn't help)

Split a bunch of procs in helpers.dm into new files:
-helper_list
-helper_text
-helper_type2type
These files are sorted into groups internally. Hopefully people will make it easier for people to find useful procs.
I've added comments to a good chunk of these procs as well explaining what they do.
I've removed a few unused or unnecessary procs and fixed up a couple that were not working as intended.
I've also moved a mob proc 'get_equipped_items()' into mob/inventory.
All of the non-helper.dm files (besides mob/inventory.dm) are the result of fixing duplicate procs. It seems that there used to be text searching procs where one was case sensitive and one was not, and at some point someone removed the case-sensitivity of the case sensitive procs. I've re-added the case-sensitivity and as a result, I've had to go through extra files and ensure that they were calling the proper proc.
