Uses actual objects on each non-space, dynamically lit turf. Light levels are switched back and forth via animate() and the object's alpha. Supporting colors shouldn't be too hard. Some hacky efficiency improvements means it isn't that much more expensive than current (I think, needs testing). Most of the lighting ss's cost is in checking all the lights and doing big loops, not anything actually in the loops themselves.
Start PDA flashlights on. This was to speed up testing but frankly I think it's a good change in general.
Added a Moved() proc. Called after a successful move.
In the future I hope to move off the luminosity var entirely but that was too slow in testing for me. That's what all that "for(area in sortedAreas) area.luminosity = 1" stuff in the lighting ss is, tests on removing luminosity outright.
* Adds "Global" fails that can occur on any EXPERI-MENTOR process.
* Replaces telesci with the Experimental Lab
* Fixes numerous Experimentor bugs (item layers, part exchanger etc)
* Adds an in-game manual to the Experimental lab to teach players to use the machine.
Misc:
+Fixes unreported issue with initializing lighting on a specific zlevel
+Fixes two similar issues with moveElement and moveRange. Where fromIndex or toIndex could be adjusted incorrectly in certain conditions. Potentially causing bad-sorts, or out of bound errors.
+Rewrites listclearnulls(list/L) to no longer iterate through L.len elements for every null in the list (plus 1). i.e. went from L.len*(number_of_nulls+1) list-element reads (best-case), to L.len list-element reads (worst-case)
+New proc/getElementByVar(list/L, varname, value) which finds the first datum in a list, with a variable named varname, which equals value. You can also feed it atoms instead of lists due to the way the in operator functions.
+Fixes an unreported issue with Yota's list2text rewrite. Under certain conditions, the first element would not be converted into a string. Causing type-mismatch runtimes.
+New global map_ready variable. This is not fully implemented yet, but will be used to avoid duplicate calls to initialize() for map objects.
+All turfs now maintain references to all lights currently illuminating them. This will mean higher memory use unfortunately, due to the huge number of turfs. However, it will speed up updateAffectingLights significantly. I've used list husbandry to reduce baseline memory usage, so it shouldn't be any worse than some past atmos modifications memory-wise.
-Removed 'quadratic lighting', can add this back at some point. Sorry.
+modified the way lum() works slightly, to allow turfs to have overridden delta-lumen. i.e. space cannot be illuminated more than its default ambiance. This allowed removal of some iffy special-snowflake lighting areas implemented by somebody else.
+Lighting images in the dmi can now use arbitrary naming schemes. It is reliant on order now. This allows the dmi to be replaced by simply dropping in a new dmi.
-Removed all subtypes of /area/shuttle. Shuttles now create duplicate 'rooms' of /area/shuttle. (More on this later). This will conflict with most maps. Guide on how to fix to follow.
+All verbs/tools relating to world.tick_lag were refactored to use world.fps. However old config text for setting tick_lag will still work (it converts the value to fps for you)
+MC stats improved using smoothing. They now have their own tab so they dont get in the way when you're playing as an admin.
-removed the push_mob_back stuff due to conflicting changes. Sorry Giacom.
_OK, NOW THE ACTUAL INTERESTING STUFF_
Following systems moved over to subsystem datums:
air_master
garbage_manager
lighting_controller
process_mobs (aka Life())
nanomanager
power
sun
pipenets
AFK kick loops
shuttle_controller (aka emergency shuttle/pods), supply_shuttle and other shuttles
voting
bots
radio
diseases
events
jobs
objects
ticker
Subsystems hooks and variables should be commented fairly in-depth. If anything isn't particularly clear, please make an issue.
Many system-specific global variables have been refactored into
All tickers which previously used world.timeofday now use world.time
some subsystems can iterate before round start. this resolves the issue with votes not working pregame
* atmos/fire alerts are now linked to an object and not its area, as intended
* simplified and full pathed the radio frequency datum
* made radio objects properly clean on del/qdel, instead of letting the radio controller remove nulls at each post_signal()
Removes a version of atom/movable/Move() that was in mob_movement.dm.
New proc called newtonian_move() that's called as a result of things like shooting a gun or spraying a fire extinguisher and as part of atom/movable/Move().
It pushes src if it's not under gravity and gives the object a chance to stop itself.
As a result, inertial_drift() is kill.
Moved Process_Spacemove() out to atom/movable. It does the same thing, it's called whenever a drift is attempted and stops the drift if it returns 1. Default check is to look for nearby lattices to make dragging shit around the station less annoying. Mobs still call it in Client/Move()
The mob version of Process_Spacemove() will shove non-anchored nearby objects out of the way if you try to move like that. For example if you're free-floating in space next to a closet and try to move right, the closet will drift off to the left.
Mechs call their occupant's version of Process_Spacemove() so mining with a mech isn't retarded. The pussy wagon does the same thing and thus no longer works like a jetpack. Will it be making a comeback?!?! (no)
Any move will attempt to keep dragging your pulled object, not just ones initiated by the client. Should make space wind a little less annoying. Was needed to make drifting not break your drags.
Mechs drift correctly without any special snowflake crap.
Spaceslipping is gone because fuck that shit
Space movement is now slow instead of fast. Having a jetpack helps go faster but even that's slower than current. Hopefully means nuke ops can see each other as they move to the station instead of losing sight of each other instantly. Having your hands full makes spacemovement even slower.
You can drift in office chairs and drag mobs in beds or the bed itself. Currently drifting diagonally while in an office chair is bugged and I need help to solve it. It winds up in cardinal movement instead of a diagonal one.
Changes up the jetpacking effects system to cause fewer errant ion trails but it's still awful code. In hindsight I shouldn't have bothered but here we go.
The new room has some redundant wiring and physical distance from maint halls that should help thwart lazy bombing attempts.
Removes requires_power from the SMES area, I've seen no side effects from doing this.
-Breaking the Captain's Display Case will now trigger an alarm, bolting all airlocks in the room as well as notifying the AI (after a 3 second delay)
Nowadays, I'm seeing far too many Captains breaking their display case with little repercussion. Keeping the gun in the case used to have value when the AI was able to watch over it (hear people breaking it), but since the AI was moved there's no value in keeping it in there besides to avoid being accused of powergaming.
This change is meant to add incentive for Captains to keep it in the case (Extra Security), humiliates them from taking it (bells and whistles will draw everyone's attention), and makes the steal objective a little more unique from the other ones.
Traitors would need to create their own escape route first, or be extremely predictable jump down the disposal outlet. An alternative to bolting the airlocks (should it be seen as being too extreme) would be to simply drop firedoors instead.
This commit removes lights from the process list, about 500 of them on the current map.
The purpose of this is to reduce lag from the master controller ticker.
-General map error fixes (wires, piping, areas, etc)
-Added missing shutters to heads meeting room
-Added blender in virology
-Officially converted old gravgen room into a Secure Construction area
-Reduced wall thickness around AI upload to 1 r-wall
-Removal of a bunch of extraneous motion cameras
-Remapped AI chamber. It is now symmetrical again.
-Added new Minisat access code 65, given to the CE and RD by default
-Condensed Minisat /areas to only three types: The chamber, the antechamber, and the exterior
-AI Chamber door bolted by default
-Virology Atmos room is now under the virology /area/, meaning the air alarm inside can now manipulate virology's vents and scrubbers (palm rubbing intensifies)
-Added one of those big red stationary air tanks to MiniSat maint
-Added a stationary teleporter beacon in the teleporter room
