About the pull request

Based on implicit permission by the server host and explicit permission by the server vice host, this PR re-adds the previous MP gear sets - the uniforms, armors and headgear. All of these are available as optional picks from respective gear vendors. In the future I do intend to make it a character picker option so you can spawn in the provost issue gear, but that can be added via a separate PR later.

In order to explain the place of both sets of gear in the game world the PR also adds fairly extensive lore_descs to all uniform, armor, headgear sets added and their counterparts. The JAS also got a lore_desc that further explains the reason for these sets to exist at the same time and be available as an option to MP players.

Further, since I was changing those already, this MR readds black and brown webbing as gear options into the MP vendor, as well as readds a full MP tool belt as one of the basics. Black webbing in particular is extra useful to MP players due to its storage type and there does not seem to be a reason not to have them available, especially since the CMP locker still has them all available. The order of things in all lockers has been somewhat tweaked mostly to maintain parity in terms of order with each other.

Some of the descriptions have also been tweaked, I dumped the kevlar etc mentions from the uniforms and the legacy ss13 description fluff and instead tried to give them more character. All uniforms were still referred to as "jumpsuits" in their item names. They still do in their icon names, but I'll save fixing that for later.

Lastly the new warden uniform was missing an item icon, I made one based off its item sprite and the regular mp item icon.

Oh and I also dumped one more funny dumb reference from the peaked cap description that I missed last time.

Explain why it's good for the game

In-world rich lore entries that allow players to orient themselves in the game world, provide potential plot hooks in their RP and give them more information about who their character could be and what training their received are fairly critical element of any decent RP setting, regardless what weight, flavor, color, or dance orientation of RP server we are.

Since the Provost Office is a CM creation, the lore is based on a good 800+ hours of MP gameplay and untold hours of interacting with MP players of all caliber and approach as staff both IC and OOC. The lore very much embraces an already existing perception and division in terms of approach and being able to express that in IC terms and back it up with IC information.

Having more cosmetic options, especially for roles that are heavily RP based and that can themselves be catalysts for RP is a net gain for both those roles and the other players they interact with.

Fixed item icons and the right gear available from vendors are bug fixes and bugs are bad.

Order of items is a QOL fix, uh... That's a good thing :P

Thank you but we are not interested in going in this direction at this time.

Suggested change

desc_lore = "The Jurisdictional Automated System and procedures surrounding it were conceived as a result of a through statistical analysis of USCMC arrest records and Marine Law violations that concluded that three out of four convictions end up with a misapplied timer. The fact that the Provost Office was unusually cooperative should probably have been a hint that something was off, and as the JAS entered service accuracy of brig timers increased to around 98% in cases where charges where applied correctly. Unfortunately it also became very clear that this increased, not decreased the average time a Marine spends in the brig by almost 50 percent. It was later revealed that the Office itself suspected that was the case from their own numbers but opted not to share that information, themselves not being exactly pleased with the leniency in brig timers and decided to use this initiative to their own ends. This caused a major rift between USCMC leadership and key figures in the Provost Office that ultimately got settled by the UAAC who established the split training program which despite its overall failure to majorly temper the specific behaviors of MPs on USCMC assignments did shift overall perspective to at least consider negotiation and deescalation an equally valid approach to direct confrontation."

I don't have time at the moment but you need to go over the rest of these with a fine-toothed comb for spelling or grammar errors.

As long as the general format of these is acceptable, I will indeed give these multiple look overs if need to until they are as polished as they need to. Anyway, will definitely give all of the text another through look because I'm sure I missed things.
