obj/effect/effect all pool themselves.
PoolOrNew() can now be passed a type and a list instead of a type and a location. In that case, the list will be passed to New() via arglist().
RCD's now delete their spark system and properly garbage collect.
Fix flamethrower crafting recipe (now only use 1 rod, calls checkparts() to set up the weldingtool and igniter).
Fix lack of message when trying to turn on an unsecured welding tool.
Fix lack of icon update when clicking plasma tank with empty flamethrower.
Adds handling for canister teleportation shinanagans
Refactors nozzles slightly so they act properly if someone manages to swipe the tank without it ever touching the floor
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
Changes all watertanks and the defib to use the Atmos watertank equip method
Fixes a runtime that could happen if someone melted the Atmos watertank off of you
-Removes a redundant check in water's obj reaction, add's a "cooling power" var that determines how effective it is at cooling off hotspots
-Modifies extinguishers a bit to have more options, affect more tiles, change the cooling temperature of the water inside of it, etc
-Makes the water backpack for atmos even more robust at fighting fires with a 5 tile spread, removes converting oxygen to nitrogen on Nanofrost, made the resulting end of a firefight annoying as the atmos tech would have to get an oxygen canister
-Makes racks use Move() to put objects on top of them instead of just changing the loc, in order to stop nozzles/misters from getting on them
-Firesuit level protection will not entirely protect you from being set on fire. You will gain small amounts of heat while on fire.
-Overhauls the Atmos Water Backpack into a more effective firefighting tool
-Adds a secure ATMOS closet containing said atmos water backpack to the code, but is not on the map as the backpack already exists in the ATMOS hardsuit object at this moment
Just in time for the feature freeze, a big change that will introduce bugs! Yay!
Mob verb is called verb/examinate(target), which just calls target.examine(user) and face_atom(target)
For explanation why, see http://www.byond.com/forum/?post=1326139&page=2#comment8198716
Long story short, mob verbs are much faster than object verbs. The goal is to make right-click menus populate faster.
Also changes a bunch of examine() procs to always, ALWAYS call the parent. Except mobs, but you have 1 guess why I'm not touching them. Mostly this affects obj/item/examine().
And also remove a whole shitload of pointless set src in view(2) kind of crap. Also span classes.
