be_special and antag defines are no longer limited to 16 values (1 - 32768) by being changed from a bitfield to a list, an appropriate block of code exists to automatically update bitfield versions to the new list format. the list format allows us to have (functionally) infinite antag types.
The number of traitors required to trigger a folder exchange objective is increased from 5 to 8.
The purpose of antagonists is to antagonize. These objectives provide 0 interactivity with the crew and completely dis-incentivize any antagonistic act against the station. Within 5 minutes either two traitors have greentext and the only way they can lose it is by actually conducting antagonistic acts, or one traitor shoots another traitor in the face and spaces the body to secure their own greentext, in which case they still have 0 interactivity with the rest of the crew.
With the current minimum of 5 traitors, you see a folder exchange in almost every traitor round and unless these traitors willfully risk their greentext by going off-objective then you've got 40% of traitors neutralized at roundstart, leaving just 3 traitors to be the driving force behind a round. One of those traitors will be AFK at roundstart and won't even know they're a traitor, the other will be the RD who has to "steal" a hand teleporter... you can see where I'm going with this. Exchanges are too often a proximate cause for traitor rounds where absolutely nothing happens.
This change preserves the exchange and the hard work someone put into it, but ensures the objective only appears when there's a sufficient number of traitors to antagonize the station if the two folderbuddies decide to peacefully greentext.
Because DA manually assigns targets instead of using find_target() the proc update_explanation_text() wasn't firing and thus the DAs couldn't figure out who they had to kill (though in actuality the objective would be fully functional.
Players won't know if they're a double agent or a traitor if they happen to roll a kill objective + escape. DAs won't outwardly know that their targets are also DAs.
For the sake of mirroring traitors to avoid meta DAs gain syndicate bombs back (but shouldn't be any more apt to use them than normal traitors)
For the same reason nonimplanted heads and the AI are now capable of being DAs.
Paranoia from DA leaks back to traitor
Not going rambo mode for the 420noscope quick kill leaks from traitor to DA
Maybe, lets hope!
They
This means that multi-tile things may not handle correctly, but the only thing that used it was atmos for double wide doors, and they are used in one location that is unlikely to have atmos changes
see: http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=1852790 for justifcation. (tl;dr: accessing .locs causes memory leaks)
Players who would otherwise qualify to play as an implanted job will spawn as the most wanted not implanted job they qualify for if they are an onstation antagonist. If they don't qualify for any job in this way depending on preferences they will either spawn as an assistant or a random job (which also makes sure they don't end up in an incompatible job).
Note this doesn't impact late join antagonists or mulligan antagonists. Roundstart only.
Fixes a bug where people in restricted jobs could get mulligan antag shots because the host mode had more lax restricted jobs lists than the mulligan mode
Fixes a bug where in certain circumstances everyone capable of rolling for mulligan antag would just keep rolling and rolling and rolling until it became possible.
Hard defines double agents and traitorchan to be possible since there were some indication that inheriting the var wasn't working right
When mulligan decides to quit the admins will get a blurb as to why it quit.
EXTENDED

DOUBLE AGENTS
TRAITORLING
based on the game probabilities set through the config.
The round will not convert if more than 30% of the players are dead (round immediatly ends) or if the shuttle is beyond the point of no return (the round ends normally).
Adds the CONTINIOUS_ROUND_BLOB config
Also removed some mob vars like sdisabilities and merged the usability
with disabilities
Removed need for mutations var, they are not handled in dna
Removed blinded var, now its handled by eye_blind being bigger than zero
Ands lots, lots of other shit in files that used mutations
This PR is intended to support #5283 .
- Traitor AIs, when set as a traitor, will be given a new internal radio
calibrated to hear and transmit to the encrypted syndicate frequency.
Since traitors can buy a headset key for getting the Syndicate Channel,
Traitor AIs can get one too, as they cannot purchase their own TC items.
uplink_welcome was actually used as a greeting text from uplinks, now they'll always show "Syndicate Uplink Console:". The removed strings weren't nothing important, actually, with the addition of the uplinks in cargo, you were able to metagame the ongoing gamemode.
Instead of being a flat 1% or 2% it will now use prob(100/ticker.minds.len) which will give it roughly the same chance as any crewmember would have of being targetted for assasination.
To allow for saner antagonist scaling at high-population while still accomodating low-population rounds.
The PR changes the formula to thus:
Antagonists = min ( population / (2* coeff ) + 2, population / coeff )
For traitor, this means
Traitors = min ( population / 10 + 2, population / 5 )
Maroon
-Maroon objectives are a variation of assassination, where preventing the escape of the person also counts as a success.
-Aprox. 30% of assasinations will be maroonings instead
-Disincentivizes players from staying behind on the station when the shuttle leaves simply because "it's more safe"
Destroy
-Basically an assasination objective where the AI is the target
-All traitors have a 1% of getting this objective. Changelings have 2% chance.
-Adds variety, counterplay between those who want to destroy the AI and save/restore/steal it
-It is entirely possible to get Destroy AI and Steal AI at the same time. While it would be difficult, it's still entirely possible to destroy your target and steal a different AI. The chances of getting both are very slim, however.
-Encourages restoring the AI over killing it wherever possible. Discourages AIs from cooperating with antagonists.
And there you go, my hamhanded attempts at some new objective types.
