Poojawa cf59ac1c3d 12/21 modernizations from TG live (#103)
* sync (#3)

* shuttle auto call

* Merge /vore into /master (#39)

* progress

* Compile errors fixed

No idea if it's test worthy tho as conflicts with race overhaul and
narky removal.

* Update admins.txt

* efforts continue

Fuck grab code, seriously

* grab code is cancer

* Execute the Narkism

Do not hesitate.

Show no mercy.

* holy shit grab code is awful

* have I bitched about grab code

My bitching, let me show you it

* código de agarre es una mierda

No really it is

* yeah I don't even know anymore.

* Lolnope. Fuck grab code

* I'm not even sure what to fix anymore

* Self eating is not an acceptable fate

* Taste the void, son.

* My code doesn't pass it's own sanity check.

Maybe it's a sign of things to come.

* uncommented and notes

* It Works and I Don't Know Why (#38)

* shuttle auto call

* it works and I don't know why

* Subsystem 12/21

Most Recent TG subsystem folder

* globalvars 12/21

Tossed out the flavor_misc and parallax files

* Onclick 12/21

as well as .dme updates

* _defines 12/21

ommited old _MC.dm

* _HELPERS 12/21

Preserved snowflake placement of furry sprites

* _defeines/genetics

reapplied narkism holdover for snowflake races.

* Oops forgot mutant colors

* modules porting 12/21 + Sounds/icons

Admin, Client and most of mob life files ommitted

* enviroment file

* Admin optimizations

ahelp log system kept

* Mob ports 12/21

Flavor text preserved

* datums ported 12/21

* Game ported 12/21

* batch of duplicate fixes/dogborg work

#Modular computer programs
Ok. so a quick rundown on how to make a program. This is kind of a shitty documentation, but oh well I was asked to.
## Base setup
This is how the base program is setup. the rest is mostly tgui stuff. I'll use the ntnetmonitor as a base
```DM
/datum/computer_file/program/ntnetmonitor
filename = "ntmonitor" //This is obviously the name of the file itself. not much to be said
filedesc = "NTNet Diagnostics and Monitoring" // This is sort of the official name. it's what shows up on the main menu
program_icon_state = "comm_monitor" // This is what the screen will look like when the program is active
extended_desc = "This program is a dummy. // This is a sort of a description, visible when looking on the ntnet
size = 12 // size of the program. Big programs need more hard drive space. Don't make it too big though.
requires_ntnet = 1 // If this is set, the program will not run without an ntnet connection, and will close if the connection is lost. Mainly for primarily online programs.
required_access = access_network //This is access required to run the program itself. ONLY SET THIS FOR SUPER SECURE SHIT. This also acts as transfer_access as well.
transfer_access = access_change_ids // This is the access needed to download from ntnet or host on the ptp program. This is what you want to use most of the time.
available_on_ntnet = 1 //If it's available to download on ntnet. pretty self explanatory.
available_on_syndinet = 0 // ditto but on emagged syndie net. Use this for antag programs
usage_flags = PROGRAM_ALL // Bitflags (PROGRAM_CONSOLE, PROGRAM_LAPTOP, PROGRAM_TABLET combination) or PROGRAM_ALL
//^^- The comment above sorta explains it. Use this to limit what kind of machines can run the program. For example, comms program should be limited to consoles and laptops.
var/ui_header = "downloader_finished.gif" //This one is kinda cool. If you have the program minimized, this will show up in the header of the computer screen.
//you can even have the program change what the header is based on the situation! see alarm.dm for an example.
```
##Preinstalls
Now. for pre-installing stuff.
Primarily done for consoles, there's an install_programs() proc in the console presets file in the machines folder.
for example, the command console one.
```DM
/obj/machinery/modular_computer/console/preset/command/install_programs()
cpu.hard_drive.store_file(new/datum/computer_file/program/chatclient())
cpu.hard_drive.store_file(new/datum/computer_file/program/card_mod())
```
Basically, you want to do cpu.hard_drive.store_file(new/*program path here*()) and put it in the subtype's install_programs().
Probably pretty self explanatory, but just in case.
Will probably be expanded when new features come around or I get asked to mention something.
