[BOUNTY] Porting FarHorizon's version of Protogens to HardLight

[KillerTheFlareon]

About the PR

I entirely removed Monolith's protogens (as they were discontinued on Monolith anyways) and replaced it with FarHorizon's Protogens and their subsystems.

A quick summary for the changes exactly between Mono & FH Protogens:

• Markings are more separated allowing for more customization
• Protogens can select 3 types of armor roundstart with varying protection, that they cannot remove.
• There is a proto-[species] variant of most species (It's supposed to be all but FH does not have all of HL's species, so, naturally not all are covered here) that take traits & abilities of that species alongisde Protogen traits/abilites
• Unique long range radio called Trinary that all Protogens start with. I guess a similar comparison would be your fork's Psychic chat, except not anonymous.
• Ability to mimic (most) species sounds
  This used to include borgs but due to engine differences I cannot get robotic emotes to work with organic- the trick I used over at FH just.. didn't work here.
• IPC & Organic style healing at 50% effectiveness (so if something healed for 10, it would only do 5 on a protogen)

Not a C# coder so I can't go into elaborate detail how the C# changes work exactly, but I can tell you what they do.

• Allows for Species to be designated as "Subspecies" in code
  How it works is pretty simple, once designated you select [Species] and then it'll give you a second tab that shows [Subspecies] to select from.
  They're functionally just normal species but show up in a different tab.

• Allows for implants to be already in you when the round starts
  Used to allow for the Trinary radio implant to inherently come pre-installed without needing to inject it yourself. This code can also be used for Hardlight's implants if desired, so when you select one at loadout you spawn with it already inside of you.

• Allows for Species specific loadouts
  There's a loadout tab in appearance now for species that have a loadout, which is used for the Protogen Armor Selection & Trinary implant, but can also easily be used for other species as well.

Why / Balance

Bounty.

This is as close to a 1:1 port as I can manage, I do not play on this fork (yet) so I really don't know how this will effect your balance. I will make changes as they're requested.

Technical details

Basically as described above.

How to test

Join as a Protogen in Development Environment (spawning will not spawn them with trinary/armor due to roundstart loadout stuff.)

I STRONGLY recommend checking everything I do here, as again, I do not play on this fork so I could have easily missed features that exist here that don't from where I ported them from.

I STRONGLY recommend checking everything I do here, as again, I do not play on this fork (I also flat out do not do dev work in EE's engine, this is a first time thing) so I could have easily missed features that exist here that don't from where I ported them from.

This isn't EE, this is a frontier fork, so normal wizden engine.

ah whoops
I assumed it was EE due to the AGPL code stuff

Totally understandable on why you think that considering we somehow have merged EE code in with this horrid thing

[Generic-Eagle]

Yeah this base is a mess.
