-Fixed #2005 (for sure!)
-Fixed the stacking of brightness. Now the most bright item turned ON will be the one where the user gets its luminosity of.
-Cleaned the code a bit. Now only one var controls the on/off switch of light, and another holds the value of brightness when on.
Once again, Only crates may be sold on the supply shuttle.
Changed adminverb updates to be called by Login if holder.state changes. This is so we don't have to mess around with it elsewhere and we don't have to call it as often.
Added some missing verbs to the clearadminverbs proc
Fixed a icon reference not using the fullpath (Goddamn stop doing that)
Going catatonic makes you fall down
All mobs with the resting variable can now unrest (god damn what were you doing).
"Lay down / Get up" was renamed to "Rest".
Rest now uses src rather than usr (again, wtf)
Added some ugly fatty fat hacky code to make admin-ghosted mobs appear braindead rather than catatonic
Admin-ghosting (set-observe and set-play) merged into one verb named "Aghost" (short for admin ghost, same convention as asay)

Fixed a problem where TG was using this sequential master_controller but I had removed a spawn where master_controller.process() was called because I was working with the default master_controller. This problem was causing the master_controller to prevent the lighting_controller.process() ever running properly because it was hogging the current thread (thread isn't the right word there, not sure what you call it....stack?)
Added debugging to both the lighting_controller and master_controller. http://filesmelt.com/dl/debugging.png
Both lighting_controller and master_controller may be deleted to terminate their processes (this is done via the restart controller verb. This allows for clean restarts without 'doubling up' (where, for instance, the master_controller would be running more than one instance).
lighting_controller has a prototype recovery proc which is called by the "restart controller - lighting" verb. It's basically an overly paranoid version of process() which will only transfer light_sources to the replacement controller if they don't runtime. It's not needed at the moment as the process() has yet to runtime.
master_controller has the beginnings of self pruning lists. This method using list.Cut(index,index+1) is faster than doing list.Remove(thing) all over the place (the latter iterates through the list to find the thing).
Added more detailed time-measurements for the master_controller. It now displays the processing costs (in real-world seconds) of each part of the master_controller's cycle.
The stat panel only updates for mobs actually -looking- at the stat panel.
Explosion debugging is now hidden behind a if(Debug2). To have it print that data to world.log just click the DebugGame verb
debug controller and restart controller verbs are now both GameAdmin rank. Not sure how they got split up.
Fixed another cause of dark splotchy space turfs. (turf/wall/ex_act was replacing the turf with space and then deleting that new space turf)

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.
