This caused issues with mobs like borgs and simple mobs where they would be unable to move if admins put another ckey in the mob after they ghosted but there would be no clear indication as to why they couldn't move and in some cases, no way to un-rest without further admin intervention.
This functions the same way as editing the ckey in vv, and has the same permission checks
It requires the admin also be a ghost to avoid conflicts with other drag drop code.
Thanks @Ricotez
Also tweaks the wording of related verbs, procs, and variables to match
Moves the scope of the ghostimages (now ghost darkness images) var and updatedateallghostimages proc to the global space so other things can access them
Abuses client.images to get around the issue with flat see_invisible scaling not allowing for both being able to see ghosts while not seeing darkness layers.
Fixes the blobbernaut death animation looping.
Fixes armchair layer being above ghost layer.
Fixes chloral hydrate metabolization rate (and 2 other reagents)
Fixes a typo in closet/attack_self() .
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
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
Moves antag_hud image and datum to mind instead of mob.
Fixes mobs keeping data HUDs after transfer_to().
Fixes gibbed bodies losing their antag HUDs.
Fixes the data hud disappearing when dropping unrelated HUDs.
Fixes#6206Fixes#6209
Makes hud_list associative, and introduces the /atom list hud_possible,
which lists all the possible hud images a certain atom can provide.
Replaces all the awful procs in the gamemodes with their new
/datum/atom_hud versions, which are much shorter, simpler and faster.
* added a protection to prevent division by 0 when all hacked apcs are destroyed
* added a midnight rollover check for the MC (fixes#4905)
* toggling breakers won't add/remove a hacked APC from the AI apcs pool anymore
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.
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.
ghost_form is now saved with other preferences.
Public visibility of memberships is toggable and saved with other preferences.
ooc-colors for admins and members are now sanitized. Bright colours like Yellow, white and baby-blue will be darkened for the sake of legibility.
Related to above - added helper procs to convert between RGB and HSL colour models.
Admins cannot modify var/unlock_content without +DEBUG rights. unlock_content moved from client into prefs.
Player savefile version number updated - this will trigger savefile updates, no data should be lost.
Resolves an issue where whitespace in names could cause a saveslot button to wrap to the next line.
Byond members:
can colour their name using the admin ooc-colour feature.
get a icon next to their name in ooc chat.
can choose their icon_state as a ghost.
get 8 saveslots
unlock_content tracks the return of IsByondMember(). This is to allow for easier testing/debug.
