About the PR

This ports the Game Director from Goobstation.

Why / Balance

As it is, our current ways of scheduling events are purely random, only using shift time and player population with no regard for what came previously or where we'd like to be. This frequently leads to unsatisfying event scheduling. Goob Station's Game Director is a new event scheduler that fixes all of these problems in one fell swoop.

The way it works is that each Game Director has a set of stories that it can choose from, for example, a calm story may start at a peaceful station, work its way towards a minorly scuffed station, and then finish up with power issues. A difficult story may start at a peaceful station, scuff up the station, queue power issues, severely fuck with the station, try and get the security team back on its feet, try and get engineering back on its feat, followed up by a peaceful ending.

These story beats don't call for any specific events, but rather, direct the Game Director to head towards a specific metric goal: the Attackers beat directs the Game Director to attempt to queue events to get towards a Hostile rating of 100, but to bail out early if the Atmos, Power, Medical, or Death metrics get severely out of control.

Events themselves have estimated effects on these metrics, for example, a Revenant will be estimated to cause a lot of Medical and Death chaos, and thus, makes a viable choice if the story beat calls for those two factors. However, the Game Director is able to measure the station itself to determine where the station actually is in terms of these metrics, instead of assuming that every event has the same impact on the story. For example, if a Ninja gets taken out early, the Game Director will observe that the metrics haven't progressed much towards the goals of the story, and will choose another event towards this direction in due time.

Technical details

• new CCVar to determine how long before the Game Director starts scheduling events
• new log category for Game Director status
• StationEventComponent has a Chaos property that measures its estimated impact on the story
• metric systems & components that actually do the job of measuring the story metrics
• GameDirector system & components actually do the job of choosing from available events and stories to progress the plot
• new gamerule/preset prototypes for the game directors to actually take place in (presets being located in _DV and not _Goob because I expect we'll be doing a lot of changes instead of using something close to what they have, but otherwise located under _Goob)

Requirements

• I have tested all added content and changes.
