There is now a PRELOAD_RSC define in code/_compile_options.dm. Setting it to 0 will allow you to use on-the-fly rsc downloads, or the new remote rsc features. Normally (PRELOAD_RSC == 1) the game will send you all the resources for the game that existed at compile time, this is the long-delay before joining the game...but it means that the game isn't sluggish later on due to trying to download icons and such. Which is good, but uses a lot of bandwidth. On-the-fly behaviour (PRELOAD_RSC == 0) is when the game only downloads icons when you see something for the first time...this is often responsible for things being briefly invisible on slow connections. Remote RSC behaviour (PRELOAD_RSC == 0 and some urls defined in config/external_rsc_urls.txt), is a mixture of the two above behaviours. It allows you to connect without downloading lots of resources immediately. However, once you connect it will select a url from a list of urls which hold zipped up copies of the tgstation.rsc. This allows the load of downloading those large files to be distributed across a few cheap web-servers or free upload sites...whilst the main game-server is freed up for other stuff. Should preloading from a remote url fail, behavior will revert to on-the-fly.

* Panic Bunker: Discord Requirement (hrzntal/horizon#852) * Initialize new branch * Add Panic Bunker feature: Requiring linked Discord accounts Basically reused the Discord accountlink and notify subsystem, which large parts of got removed, and added checks to player connections to validate if they have a linked discord account in the DB This obviously wont work without a DB, or without a bot or other backend on Discord to complement setting the ID and checking validity Author: Alex 'Avunia' Takiya <6952402+atakiya@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Mon Apr 18 04:05:14 2022 +0200 * Span fixes * Fix up Discordlink system, SQL cleanup (tgstation#860) Fixes the discordlink system and cleans up queries to be more performant (and actually correct) Changes the discordlink model, queries and result -> model associations to be inline with the DB schema instead of nonsense Changes panic bunker living minutes defaults to be -1, which means nothing gets blocked. This is currently a stopgap to make the discord module of the PB work and should be properly fixed at a later point. * Hopefully this deals with players getting kicked before they get verification info * Clean up code * Apply suggestions from code review Co-authored-by: SabreML <57483089+SabreML@users.noreply.github.com> * fix code/modules/discord/discord_sql_functions.dm * Fix duplicate SQL records * Update code/modules/discord/discord_sql_functions.dm Co-authored-by: SabreML <57483089+SabreML@users.noreply.github.com> * Update code/modules/discord/discord_sql_functions.dm Co-authored-by: SabreML <57483089+SabreML@users.noreply.github.com> * Update code/modules/discord/discord_sql_functions.dm Co-authored-by: SabreML <57483089+SabreML@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Alex 'Avunia' Takiya <6952402+atakiya@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: SabreML <57483089+SabreML@users.noreply.github.com>
