About The Pull Request
I made a machine board for the PDA message server and added it to the telecomms techweb node. To keep the usefulness of the machine's password, a player built message server won't work until 15 minutes after construction. I've also converted a lot of magic numbers to defines, and changed the departmentType var on request consoles into a bitflag.
I'm open to ideas other than a time gate when it comes to keeping the server password's usefulness.
Why It's Good For The Game
You can't build a Message Server right now. If it's destroyed, PDAs may be knocked out for the rest of the round.
Changelog
cl JJRcop
add: You can now build a new PDA messaging server if you lose it.
tweak: Requests console messages no longer work if the messaging server is offline. Emergency alerts will still function in that case as long as the rest of telecomms is online.

* Scope locate calls which are immediately checked against a list
* Remove silly use of locate from bible Topic
* Scope various locate calls (needs testing)
* More WIP
* Buff up lightswitches while we're here

* Refactor radio message broadcasting in a major way
Broacast_Message and everywhere that uses it, including radio talk_into
and the telecomms broadcaster and allinone. Other telecomms machinery
has had dead code excised.
Functionality should be roughly the same as before, but:
- CentCom headsets are only magic when using the CentCom frequency
- Syndicate frequency speech on the station no longer double-talks
- Talking directly into an intercom or radio which also has its
microphone on no longer double-talks.

* Convert it to a controller
* Eh, fuck this option
* Revert controllerization Ill do it some other time
* Fix
* Working controllerization
* FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST PROTECT THE LOGS
* Protect admins and deadmins
* Use the inbuilt proc
* - I rearranged X_defense.dm mob files, more damage_procs.dm.Here's what's inside:
* X_defense.dm: is for the procs of attacks onto the mob, all the XXX_act() proc (things happening to the mob), as well as protection check and get procs (armor, ear prot, projectile dismemberment)
* damage_procs.dm: actual damage procs like adjustBruteLoss() getfireloss, any proc that handles damaging.
- some bugfixes with gibspawner effects.
- monkey's bodyparts can be dismembered and are used to create its icon.
- brains are no longer carbons.
- all carbon have bodyparts that can be dropped when the mob is gibbed.
- adminspawned bodyparts now have a default icon.
- robotic parts are now a child of bodyparts.
- health analyzer on alien/monkey shows damage on each limb
- added admin option to add/remove bodyparts for all carbon (instead of just remove on humans)
- Fixes keycheck message spam for janicart and all when trying to move.
- Fixes bug with buckling to a scooter while limbless.
- removed arg "hit_zone" in proj's on_hit() because we can already use the def_zone var (where hit_zone got its value)
- Fixes mob not getting any damage when hit by a projectile on their missing limb, despite a hit message shown). carbon/apply_damage() now when we specify a def_zone and the corresponding BP is missing we default to the chest instead of stopping the proc. Consistently with how human/attacked_by() default to its attack to chest if missing limb.
- Fixes mini uzi icon when empty and no mag (typo).
- I renamed and changed a bit check_eye_prot and ear prot
- renamed flash_eyes to flash_act()
- I made a soundbang_act() similar to flash_act but for loud bangs.
- added a gib and dust animation to larva.
- husked monkeys
- no damage overlay for husk or skeleton.
- damage overlay for robotic limb now.
- no damage overlay when organic bodypart husked.
- one handed human with a bloody hand still get a bloody single hand overlay.
- fix admin heal being unable to heal robotic bodyparts.
- slightly touched robotic bodypart sprites (head one pixel too high)
- Fixes 18532 "beheaded husk has hair".
- Fixes 18584 "Ling stasis appearance bug"
- no more eyes or lipstick on husks.
- can remove flashes/wires/cells from robot chest and head with crowbar.
- Fixes not being able to surgically amputate robotic arm/leg.
* More merge conflict fixes and adding the new files I forgot to add.
* of course I forgot birdstation
* More typos and stuff I forgot to undo.
* Fixing a typo in examine.dm
Removing an unnecessary check.
Making admin heal regenerate limbs on all carbons.
Monkey-human transformation now transfer missing limbs info and presence of a cavity implant.
NODISMEMBER species can still lack a limb if the mob lacked a limb and changed into that new species.
Changeling Regenerate ability now also regenerate limbs when in monkey form. (and remove some cryptic useless code)
* Fixing more conflicts with remie's multihands PR.
* Fixes runtime with hud when calling build_hand_slots().
Fixes lightgeist healing not working.
Fixes null.handle_fall() runtimes with pirate mobs.
Fixes typo in has_left_hadn() and has_right_hand().
* Derp, forgot to remove debug message.
These are the files with just tiny tweaks. Mostly modify an object's attackby so it does "return ..()" instead of "..()".
If there are other things in this commit, the PR's description will explain them.
Reasoning for why it needs to go:
- NTSL allows anyone to lag the server or crash it.
- Doohl being gone, no one is going to maintain or expand NTSL. Very little has been done on it for several years now, certainly not any new functionality besides signalling.
- The only interesting things that can be done with NTSL have already been done and are on the wiki. Which is what 99% of users do, copy a script off the wiki. Not interesting or fun.
- Users who actually do scripting are too limited to actually do much besides little chat scripts that are amusing for maybe 2 minutes before becoming annoying.

This requires a 508 beta version to use. If Travis fails this he's a bitch
Exceptions will generate a stack trace, which is way easier to see and more helpful in actually solving this kind of crap. Also logs all the arguments, src, line, and file automatically.
Removed any dubiously helpful information in the exception names so the runtime condenser won't see each one as a different runtime. If the information is critical to solve these bugs (camera one maybe?), then I'll just make these warnings.
Thrown exceptions crash the currently running proc. Yes that means there's useless returns in a bunch of these, sue me. spawn()'s are to let the proc continue.
Almost all of these are difficult to trigger, but I did test playsound. And frankly even if they do cause bugs by crashing procs, big whoop
Telecom machines are now deconstructed the same way as all other constructable machine.
Adding new sprites for tcom machines with panel open.
Moving telecom machines sprite to obj/machines/telecomms.dmi
Fixes the effects of smoke/flash/sonic powder when stabilized and then triggered.
Removing overdosing on nicotine.
