This time with proper installation of TGUI & all that crap.

What this does

This makes the server compilable and playable in BYOND 516. This is a work in progress PR.

  • Convert /vector now-native type into a custom subtype to maintain all our features
  • Fix the overdark/darkness planes to render properly in 516. This causes MINOR features discrepency as I had to change the behaviour of dark_plane for people who wear night vision googles, for grues, and for spiders. The effect isn't directly noticeable.
  • Compile TGUI.
  • Fix TGUI interfaces. They straight up do not work in Chromium.
  • More testing maybe ?

Why it's good

516 liberates us from IE, is faster overall, is a more modern version of BYOND with more features, and has considerable rendering improvments. As a full disclosure I initially wanted to do this to test if Euro/vg/Lights were doable in this iteration of BYOND. They are, but they will be (if ever) the subject of a later PR.

How it was tested

Local test server compilation, some fiddling around with gameplay, test of TG/Nano/Raw HTML interfaces.

Nota Bene

This change would require all clients to migrate to 516 at the same time we migrate to 516 server-side ; the overdark changes would make the game unplayable on a non-515 client.

Changelog

🆑

  • experiment: Port the game to BYOND 516 for better features, in particular improved HTML UI responsiveness. Please report any bugs.

So I've managed to fix TGUI compile, but now my interfaces throw an error/exception. I'll have to think about one way to solve this, but this is better than nothing, I suppose.

One more UI half-done, need to fix a bug related to sorting out the areas but it's close to working.

And the final UI is done. Some bugs are still here but they were present before the 516 port and I don't want to spend time fighting them. Everyone that I have tested works mostly fine.

Units tests are failing because of cmp_list_by_element_desc. Interesting. Who the fuck wrote this code????????
