###Major Changes###
- 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.
- 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.
###Minor Changes###
- 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 people
**Major Changes**
- Increased win condition to require 66%
- Added a switchblade. A relatively cheap and decently robust melee weapon for gangsters.
- Capped how much influence you can get every income at 50
- Limited gang spraycan use to 15
- Pistol cost increased to 30 Influence
- Promotion cost now scales to how many bosses you already have. The more bosses, the more expensive it will be. It starts off cheap at 20 influence now.
**Minor Changes**
- Tagging a territory now tells you what territory you actually tagged!
- Added an option to silence the verbose territorial updates you get from gangtools
- Capped how much influence you can get every income at 50
- Updated Centcom report on gangs
- Spraycans always show their inhands now, instead of only when uncapped
- Antag panel now shows how much influence each gang has
- Cleaned up gang code in the traitor panel
- Fixed non-gangers getting gang messages when trying to spray on an invalid territory
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.
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.
- The folders themselves are now finished
- Next I'll go through each file and organize them
- Lastly I'll start pulling the object definitions out of /code/defines/ and put them into their respective files.
**Note to committers**
Make sure the .dme file updates when you update to this revision. If necessary delete the .dme and svn-update.
