Stuff fixed: My sad attempt at fixing #13126.
The expand() proc for blobs is hopefully less intensive now (WHY did it
used to spawn a blob only to destroy it? That must've been such a
waste...).
Destroy code no longer needs to adjust for the expand() proc doing weird
things.
The antag panel will now show the correct variable used to determine
blob progress.
Renamed the variables I used so they're not so similar to each other.
blob_legit and blobs_legit was WAY to easy to mix up.

bugfix: Blob pieces on some areas no longer count for blob mode victory
(Such as space or asteroid).
bugfix: Asteroid areas are no longer valid gang territory.

Fixes bug #13126 and also a few other areas blobs shouldn't be win from
absorbing (centcom, SPACE etc).
Added a variable to areas.
Kept the original blobs list as a list of all blobs, in case that was
used somewhere else, and instead made a separate list for legit blobs.

Moves holodeck code to modules/holodeck. Repaths holodeck structures a little. Cleans holodeck code and prepares for additional features (multiple holodecks, etc). Should fix#4828.
Necessary map bugfixen for Asteroid, Disc, Dream, Meta, and TG.
Adds Lounge, Emergency Medical, pet center, and holdout room to the rec holodeck.
All items spawned by the holodeck will do only stamina damage, except when emagged. This allows emergency medical to be staffed with scalpels and bonesaws and such. Emergency medical has some functioning equipment but the only drugs available are in the sleeper.
- You must be in the territory physically to tag it now. So no more tagging everything from maint.
- Influence income changed to provide weaker gangs a bigger boost, while slowing down stronger gangs to promote opportunity for comebacks
- Gangs only earn influence on territories they have held on to since the previous Status Report (the income calculation every 5 minutes). This places more significance on defending your existing territory.
- Removed solars and shuttles, and the toxins test chamber from valid territory list
- Victory conditions are only checked during Status Reports.
- Bosses no longer receive territory updates real-time. They now get them all as a list of new and lost territories in the Status Update.
- You cannot tag tiles with APCs. No cheating, you maint crawlers.
- Goal is now a coeff var so it can be modified in-game for debugging/playtesting purposes
- Simplified some list checks for gang
- Trying to tag an invalid area will just error out and return, instead of the ganger spraying regular grafiti and confusing them
The coding isn't done yet, but the design is. So comment on the design while I smooth out the code.
tldr; Gang mode rewrite to follow my original vision: Slower and longer rounds with less deathmatching, and a resource both teams have to fight over
NEW OBJECTIVE: CLAIM HALF THE STATION AS TERRITORY
- Gang bosses can spawn special spray cans that can be used to tag areas
- Any gang member can tag areas.
- Gang tags must be removed before another one is placed in the same area
- Game mode no longer automatically ends when the boss dies. It now ends when either the station evacs, or one gang claims more than 50% of the station areas
- Boss can promote gangers into his lieutenants, which basically means adding more bosses
- Lieutenants can do anything bosses can except promote others to lieutenant
NEW RECRUITMENT TOOL: PENS
- Recruitment pens replace flashes
- Looks exactly like a pen. Stab people to recruit them.
- Recruitment is silent but obvious to the perceptive (Causes a brief seizure)
- Cooldown between uses that gets longer as the gang gets larger
NEW TOOL: GANGTOOL
- Replaces the recaller device. Can still recall the shuttle.
- Provides overview information about the gang (membership size, income amount and time)
- Can spawn pistols and ammo
- Can spawn additional recruitment pens
- Can spawn additional gangtools (For personal use, or promoting a single ganger to lieutenant)
NEW CURRENCY SYSTEM: NAME IS WIP
- Gangtools purchase items with new currency with the placeholder name "Supply Points (SP)"
- Supply points are collected every 5 minutes. The more territory a gang has claimed, the more points they get.
- Supply points are accumulated per-gang. Having more gangtools does not intrinsically give you more points to use.
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.
