Click catcher now supports mousemove/mousedrag. Basically, mouse location can now be captured even if the user isn't mousing over a visible location
Added procs to allow for projectiles to be fired with just an angle for pixel projectiles, instead of requiring a target turf and pixel x/y
Added procs to get angle of user's mouse from their viewpoint (Time to rework gang machine guns again!)
Beam rifles now have different zoom modes
Free directional zooms out and tracks the angle of your mouse from the center of the screen. However, you can't target with very good accuracy on this (Shots can't be properly aimed on non dense objects/lying down mobs.)
Locked directional zooms like free directional but doesn't automatically turn if your aim changes.
Center view, just increases your view in all directions (2x weaker)
No zoom mode, in which you just retain your normal view.
You can select beam rifle zooming rates to be instant or stepped.
Stepped zooming rates zoom out 5 tiles per second. This will likely help with people not being able to use it without lagging because their computers aren't as beefy!
Beam rifles no longer require zoom to be fired
Beam rifle aiming beams now instantly update instead of on process
Beam rifle aiming beams are now one object instead of 150. This'll help with the lag caused by it during gameplay that I've observed.
Angular penalty reduced by 0.1 for a nice even number.
Instances of client.view = have been replaced with client.change_view() as that'll properly update the click catcher
Hopefully shooting yourself in the face when you hit a blob tile or whatnot is fixed with the new and improved code..
* Adds locations to speech and related communications
Refactors how logging is handled for these.
* changes
* ahhhhh
* preemptive merge conflict undoing maybe?
* Let's not delay this further
Ready | Not Ready | Observe is now a three way toggle
The player ready status has been refactored into an ENUM of the three
states, READY, NOT_READY and OBSERVING
if the tickerstate is at least PREGAME they will spawn as observers,
before then you can only register your interest in observing.
All the observer code has been centralised into a single
make_me_an_observer proc on new_player mobs

* Ghosts now have a language menu
🆑 coiax
add: Ghosts can now modify their own understood languages with the
language menu.
/🆑
- Language menu is now on /atom/movable, and can be opened by any atom
with the `open_language_menu` proc.
- Used for testing, and simulating what various station members hear.
* Language holders, I
* Language holder, II
* Dos line endings
* MIND LANGUAGES
* Fixes some mobs not having language holders in their minds
* Shadow languages
* How did you lose the holder?
* Mob level IC->Open Language Menu verb
* Gives draconic to silicons
* Lazy breeki
* Use of pre-initialized global lists for languages
* Fixes bugs with lazy holders
Shouldn't break anything, stops warning spam, logs errors qdel style at the end of the game.
Initialize now expects a hint to be returned, one of:
INITIALIZE_HINT_NORMAL - Does nothing, returned by the root proc
INITIALIZE_HINT_LATELOAD - Call atom/proc/LateInitialize
INITIALIZE_HINT_QDEL - Calls qdel on the atom
LateInitialize currently defaults to the old re-calling behavior so there should be no issues with that.
Things that didn't return a hint or fucked up somehow will be logged less loudly than they were before
No more world start warnings!
In cases where you're creating an image to use as an overlay, it makes more sense to use a mutable_appearance if you can. The image will create a static appearance for not just the image but also each intermediate step if you change vars along the way. The mutable appearance avoids this unnecessary and expensive process. The only situation that requires an image instead of a mutable_appearance is if the overlay is supposed to be directional. MA's ignore direction while images don't. I dunno why, probably another BYOND-ism.
I added a convenience function, mutable_appearance(), designed to emulate image(). Also went ahead and set the default plane of /mutable_appearance to FLOAT_PLANE because it's fucking 0 by default.
Several overlays that were image() calls were changed to just text strings when I could. overlays += "string" has the same result as overlays += image(icon, "string") and saves a proc call.
