spawns have a high overhead.
I only went for easy targets, almost every spawn could be removed with a few subsystems in place to handle delays or cooldowns
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
Works pretty well. If it can't GC something, it'll just del() it and be done.
Speed is amazing, holy shit.
New procs you should be aware of:
qdel(atom/movable) - sets up an object for garbage collection. Call this rather than del(atom/movable).
atom/movable/Destroy() - called right before the object is GC'd, so it still has a loc. Also called if the object is del()'d.
new controller - garbage.dm has all the details on this. Basically it nulls all references on GC'd objects and force del() them if necessary.
Generally speaking, objects should use Destroy() for behavior prior to deletion rather than Del(). You should also always call the parent so the object gets the right gc_destroyed var set.
ISSUES:
Tries to GC mobs atm. This actually works for new players, not so much for humans/monkies/simple_animals/anything. I'm guessing it needs to clear out their mind and HUD and maybe other things.
Gibbing is really bugged. It works, but the overlays just sit there for awhile and ugh. I'm very tempted just to del() mob/living and mob/camera and call it a day.
qdel() equipment doesn't unequip the item.
Pipes don't generally GC correctly. Debugging suggests they get referenced in many pipenets and that isn't cleared properly. However some do work fine. Need assistance here.
Bots don't GC, probably in the radio controller.
Lots of other shit doesn't GC but it's hard to find them because of the pipe spam.
I think I'm calling Destroy() twice by accident.
*TABLEPASS was already totally obsolete.
FPRINT was used, but it was on virtually everything anyway.
Removes those flags from every instance where they were used. Also assigned and removed other flags where it made sense.
If it is desired, I can revive the flag as NOFPRINT, which would retain the original functionality, though inverted. That way it would be be used only where it was intentional (holodeck items could use this for example).
* Fixes the ( shaped cyan wire
* Fixes a luminosity bug with glowshrooms.
* Changes a ridiculous internal loop in intercoms to use the MC.
* Makes intercoms not be bloodied by bloody hands.
* Adds a "NOBLOODY" flag for atoms that don't want to be bloodied.

- To help further lower the cost of this proc I have lowered the default intercom range to 2. I then added consistency of not being able to use an intercom from across the room by adding a check for distance, using the same variable as the intercom range.
- Committing a fix by VistaPOWA for the changeling sting drink. You should be able to create it now by mixing screwdrivercocktail, limejuice and lemonjuice.
Before it was orangejuice, limejuice, lemonuice and vodka but orangejuice and vodka would mix first to create screwdrivercocktail.

Improvements to Telecomms. I wasn't happy with my relays and having telecomms send several messages on different Z levels was not effecient. I decided to overcome this by removing the need to attach Broadcasters and Transmitters to relays. Then I made relays just add to the signal data which z levels the message will be broadcasted on, instead of sending the message several times. It's a bit hard to explain but basically it should be better then ever, and adding more relays will not create serious performance issues. Since you can't control whether the Z level could only receive messages or only send them, I added options on the relay itself so you can set it. I then made an additional feature, which Nodrak gave me the idea for, which is that busses can change the frequency of a signal. It's an option on the Bus and you can set it to change the signal's frequency, which can create hilarious situations such as the command channel being redirected to the general channel. No way to duplicate a signal with a different frequency at the moment.
Since relays earlier depended on a stupid system in order to become a off-site relay, I instead just made it limited to the satellite Z level, which makes more sense.
Broadcasters and Receivers are linked to the HUB, but it's still possible to create a simple telecommunication system with a "Receiver -> Bus -> Processer -> Broadcaster" (though it will be slow)
OTHER
Smartfridge limit was lowered to 999, just below the infinite loop check limit. This is to prevent further issues that may occure.
Moved creating some icon datums above the SQL procs, just to make sure that the SQL itself isn't sleeping and causing issues with the datums being used before being loaded.

-The firedoor wasn't updating the freelook camera. When I looked at it I couldn't figure out why it was using it's own "rebuild" code, supposedly it only updates the air that it set in the dir variable but the current map doesn't utilize it at all (firelocks with a dir of 8 which are lined horizontalally), and you would have to have two thick wide firelocks to make it effective. I've commented it out and I'll put it back in if we have problems.

- 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.
