replaces all mentions of bodypart_robotic with is_robotic_limb() where possible, adds BODYPART_HYBRID, adds helpers for organic / robotic limbs (is_robotic_limb() / is_organic_limb(), with a arg to override it accepting hybrid limbs) Also makes the the surgery to heal robotic limbs work if the torso isn't a robot, but rather if there are robotic bodyparts, makes the IPC brain repair.. only accept IPC brains (obviously), makes the damage threshholds for robo-limbs vars instead of a fix 25 with hybrid ones predefined at 25 / 15 (trigger / mindamage), adds an error message to fixing them if already at theshhold, etc. Now just for replacing BODYPART_ORGANIC with is_organic_limb aswell where applicable.. also actual values for the other robo limbs. Fun!
Datum Component System (DCS)
Concept
Loosely adapted from /vg/. This is an entity component system for adding behaviours to datums when inheritance doesn't quite cut it. By using signals and events instead of direct inheritance, you can inject behaviours without hacky overloads. It requires a different method of thinking, but is not hard to use correctly. If a behaviour can have application across more than one thing. Make it generic, make it a component. Atom/mob/obj event? Give it a signal, and forward it's arguments with a SendSignal() call. Now every component that want's to can also know about this happening.
See this thread for an introduction to the system as a whole.
