Im pretty sure this will send the to chat to whatever mob is first in the list and exit the proc due to this return. You sure this is good?

this is still a return, not a continue, by the way

Bone chilling, spine tingling, genre redefining, status-quo subverting, shining, glistening, gemerald. On a more serious note, this helps to solve the issue of like half the hive evoing drone straight away and rushing survs, which if we're being realistic here survs just get fucked by and there's not really any fighting back. |
If Im being honest, I don't think sunsets will 'solve' drone hordes in the slightest, drone hordes are brutal, but I also don't think theyre that bad of a thing, theyre cool AF to see and very thematic imo. If its still super early into the sunset, itll definitely help you against a single drone and allow you to put more distance inbetween it and yourself, but being able to see your surroundings isnt gonna help you when 6 drones are closing in fast |

About the pull request
I'm not gonna lie, im burnt out asf from working on this PR, so im keeping this super brief.
Adds:
new special lighting system to handle z-level wide lighting modifications with consistent lighting, this can be used for stuff I made in this PR like sunsets, or it can be used for stuff like lightning strikes (hint hint for the future)
-2 new sunsets, one warm and one cold, each last ~280 seconds but you lose visibility ~240 or so seconds
-1 new sunrise, very warm, finishes up on a cinematic orange tone around the time the map vote thing pops up, theres a vid
-1 new call for survs to hear a special modified version of the evo screech, its pretty cool, its gonna make survs piss themselves cause it kept jumpscaring me during my testing lol, its in the vids
sunset is called at round start based on gamemode (only attatched to distress rn, cold maps, space maps, and chances claim get cold sunset, all others get warm sunset)
sunrise is called on marine major
things like getting spawned, z-transfers, leaving your body, entering a new body, changing alpha (in the case of ghosts or xenos), entering/leaving a cave is all handled within the lighting system so noone gets an unfair advantage/major disadvantage.
balance implications:
humans:
pros:
-survs have ~3 minutes of good visibility from round start, meaning easier time seeing items and less chance of getting snuck up on
-if there is like still a lurker or something delaying but the round end thing has been called, the lack of darkness means itll get killed easier
xenos:
pros:
-survs will probably be a lil overconfident and likely to travel alone
-survs will probably be a bit more scared of caves
-xenos technically have better visibility in the daytime too for whatever that counts lol
the drone horde is coming the drone horde is coming the drone horde is coming
things that I couldnt test:
Explain why it's good for the game
It just looks amazing, just flatout. even the same sunset on two different map entirely changes the feel on both cause of the interaction of colors.
walking around as surv you feel yourself slowly becoming disoriented, something about having full light and having it slowly be taken from you somehow is worse than just starting in the pitch dark. the new screeches make you feel HUNTED as surv even when its bright out
Testing Photographs and Procedure
Screenshots & Videos
I really dont feel like getting a vid on every map but like, the exact same sunset on two different maps looks entirely different. you just gotta experience it to understand
Sorry but the videos dont embed
