This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
When using the inital() proc on an object's mouse_opacity variable, it will always return null.

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
mob/Login()
    ..()
    new/obj/Test1
    new/obj/Test2
    new/obj/Test3

obj
    New()
        ..()
        world << "[name]  Mouse Opacity:[mouse_opacity]  Initial Mouse Opacity:[initial(mouse_opacity)]"
    Test1
    Test2
        mouse_opacity = 2
    Test3
        New()
            mouse_opacity = 0
            ..()


Expected Results:
Test1  Mouse Opacity:1  Initial Mouse Opacity:1
Test2  Mouse Opacity:2  Initial Mouse Opacity:2
Test3  Mouse Opacity:0  Initial Mouse Opacity:0


Actual Results:
Test1  Mouse Opacity:1  Initial Mouse Opacity:
Test2  Mouse Opacity:2  Initial Mouse Opacity:
Test3  Mouse Opacity:2  Initial Mouse Opacity:


Workarounds:
For now, I store the original mouse_opacity in another variable upon New() and just grab that instead.
