Cult is awful, so let's try to improve it. Idea by KorPhaeron. I also
took some inspiration from adrix89's sacrifice cult, so credits to him.
Also thanks a lot specially to MrPerson and Iamgoofball for helping
me brainstorm this, and Joan for the sprites for the summoning orb,
the large nar-sie shell, and the new cult antag hud.
Basically, we remove conversion, and turn cult into a magic version of
nuke, with a small team of stealth elite cultists that have to build a
base in the station and sacrifice people in order to build an army of
constructs and get materials to eventually summon Nar-Sie.
Stun talismans and conversion are gone. Nar-Sie is now the only
objective. Sacrifice runes now provide summoning orbs, which you can use
to drop a large shell. Insert enough orbs in the shell and you trigger a
Delta. Defend the shell for 3 minutes and Nar-sie will arise. This shell
is bombproof and singularityproof. It may be summoned up to three times
if destroyed, but you will have to start from the beginning sac-wise.
Runes are now RNG. Each cultist only gets 50% of the runes. Inspiration
is basically The Binding of Isaac here (thank you MrPerson for this!).
Furthermore, many old runes were merged/removed and other new ones were
added. Almost all were massively rebalanced. Cult now also has a
stealthy ritual dagger with high bleeding and throw effects.
obj/effect/effect is now renamed obj/effect/particle_effect for better usability.
datum/effect/system and /datum/effect/effect/system are now both /datum/effect_system.
Fixes a bug where wall mounted igniters (and other spark producing objects) didn't produce sparks sometimes.
Moved explosion_particles.dm into the effect_system folder, because it has effect_systems code.
The current code for runes is god-awful. Like, seriously terrible. This PR aims to fix that. Rather than having every rune effect defined in a single attack_hand proc, this PR will separate the runes into subtypes, which supports for more modular runes as well as cleans up the code.
It also separates invocation into a two different procs. The first of these will determine if the rune can be invoked; if that passes, the second will cause the rune's effects. There is also a third proc that will cause effects if the rune fails to invoke.
Research words have been removed, and all runes are now available from the start of the round. This is highly subject to change once some feedback is in from actual cult rounds.
Miscellaneous tweaks:
Blood boil runes now explode when used
Convert runes can now work solo, but take time
Armor runes now only provide the basic armor set
Tomes now do a static 15 burn damage and play a sound
If the Escape objective is rolled, the amount of people that must escape will scale with the round population to a factor of 5 (i.e. 50 players = 10 cultists)
- fixed the fraction argument in reaction(...., INGESTED, fraction) so the proper amounts of each reagent react, not all of it.
- slight optimization of datum/reagents/reaction()
- small optimization /datum/reagent/proc/reaction_mob
- the smoke's reagents no longer do direct transfer upon crossed()/move() but uses "reagents.reaction( mob, TOUCH)" only.
- fixes no ingesting smoke if it's in the dark.
- removed block gas smoke effect flag from clown mask and other non "actual" gas mask.
- refactor how protection against touched chems being absorbed is done. get_permeability_protection() to get that protection. No more
simple RNG get touched or not, now the amount that touches you depends on your protection and the volume in question.
- changes acid_act to take volume into account.
- chem_smoke now uses process() just like foam, we remove the reaction from crossed() and Move(), it's only done in process() now.
- optimization of effect/smoke, OOP! And now all smoke effects use objprocessing instead of shitty sleep/spawn
- removed mob var/coughedtime.
- add a volume check to item/acid_act(), there's a threshold to be able to melt and then a probability to melt (acidpwr&volume).
- greatly lowered the amount of reagent in the smoke from dead blobspore (so the volume isn't enough for melting)
- human/acid_act(): damage to limbs depends on acidpwr&volume.
- fixes metalfoam not working.
- smoke powder: only one start() call.
- Amound of smoke objects depends on amount of smoke recipe created.
- Adds an argument to add_reagent() to block automatic call of handle_reaction()
- When using reagents/proc/trans_to(), reactions are now only handled after every reagent is transfered and not before.
- Amount of smoke objects depends on amount of smoke reagent created.
- radius of foam reaction depends on amount of foam reagent created.
- The amount of other reagents inside the smoke/foam decides the life expectancy of the effect.
- The amount of reagents in each small smoke cloud/foam cell depends on the amount of other reagents in the initial reaction but also
how much smoke/foam was created (more smoke means dilution of the reagents).
- smoke/foam's reagent reaction on mob decreases the life expectancy of the effect (to avoid reagent duplication)
- The amount of reagent reacting with atoms is less if the life expectancy is high.(to avoid reagent duplication)
- The amount of movement from the smoke now depends on the number of smoke clouds created.
- removing some useless code in chem_grenade/prime().
- When calling human/acid_act(), item acid melting chance lowers after each each successful melt in the list, some of the acid is
"used" to melt that item so the next items have a lower chance to melt (to make melting every clothing harder).
- remove the banned reagent list from sprays, not needed anymore now that acid is nerfed.
- chem_grenade reaction, if there's no reagent left after reaction (smoke/foam/etc, reagents cleared) you don't get the steam effect
and immediate reaction with all atoms around the grenade explosion. (Fixes foam cleaner grenade deleting bloodstains around it as soon
as the grenade explodes, even if the foam hasn't reached the tile yet).
- melted storage items now drop their content instead of deleting everything.
Moves shuttle turfs to paths under /turf/simulated/floor and /turf/simulated/wall
Players can now safely build on top of shuttle turfs
Fixes#1711
Adds several but not all paths for the different types of floor turfs, most of them in plasteel_floor.dm
The turf pathings are still in need of a deeper organization, but this is at least a start
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.
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
- Emergency shuttle call/recall announcements will say when a tracing attempt has been successful, as well as explicitly telling players how to view them
- Clarified language further on how emergency shuttle tracing is done
- Increased tracing success rate from 60% to 70%
- Removed a lot of duplicated code by moving all the priority_announce() calls to incall()
