Testing has revealed that it reduces the sluggishness of the game, though it will spike from lag when the singularity is loose. Thanks to ChuckTheSheep for suggesting it.
Server owners who want to keep set background enabled can do so by changing the define.
*TABLEPASS was already totally obsolete.
FPRINT was used, but it was on virtually everything anyway.
Removes those flags from every instance where they were used. Also assigned and removed other flags where it made sense.
If it is desired, I can revive the flag as NOFPRINT, which would retain the original functionality, though inverted. That way it would be be used only where it was intentional (holodeck items could use this for example).
Crossed() is a byond builtin which is called automatically when two movable atoms overlap (as a side effect of Move(), but not when loc or x/y/z is changed). Previously, turf/Entered() iterated through all objects in the turf in order to tell them an object had entered; with this change, HasEntered() becomes redundant and can be eliminated.
This may reduce lag when a large number of objects are moving in a small space (singularity, mining conveyors, etc) but should cause no changes to functionality at all.
* Replaced "fire" with SPAWN_HEAT. You will have to use it in conjunction with SPAWN_TOXINS to spawn fire.
* Added flags for HEAT, COLD, TOXINS, OXYGEN, CO2, NITROGEN, N2O, FUEL and AIR.
Adds anomalies, special effects which tie into the event system.
Ports bholes into an anomaly, cleans up their code.
Adds new gravitational anomalies. Imagine a trampoline.
Flux event is now an anomaly.
Adds a new pyro anomaly.
Makes trail_holder a child of cleanables instead of blood (this is to
allow add_blood turf proc to spawn blood splatter on blood trails, also
other kinds of blood effects), also cleaned up the blood code a bit.
Big props to Aranclanos, Cheridan, Pewtershmitz and all other coders on
#coderbus for making this happen.
--DO NOT MERGE STILL WIP--
Makes blood trails use overlays, the overlays are contained in a holder
object. DNA is now properly added to them.
todo: redo light, xeno light and xeno heavy trails. help of spriters is
welcome.
The blood trails now follow the path the body has taken and players can
very easily make out said path.
Heavily damaged corpses will have a much thicker blood trail than
corpses with some brute damage. At the moment, trails overwrite
eachother and a placeholder icon set is used for alien heavy blood
trails.
