Unused vars take up memory and worsen proc overhead. By far the worst
offenders to this are vars on /atom and /mob since they more or less
globally stack lots and lots and lots and lots of proc overhead. So I'm
cleaning up unused vars on these to save resources. I also noted several
vars that are excellent candidates for making components or elements.
When I'm not drowning in school work anymore, their time is numbered.
Mfw every space carp forever has a CCIA record, no wonder mobs are
laggy.
Some concerns were brought up about the potential for performance
concerns with wrapping Destroy() in a try catch. So let me make a trade.
/datum is the parent of all objects in existence, and is spending a
large chunk of time on proc overhead for 2.6 million qdel'ed objects.

/>
I'll trade you a faster global destroy() for the better logging so I can
finish destroying the garbage collector lag.
The cost reduction is from 0.01209ms per datum to 0.007525ms per datum,
about a 28% time saving.
I've audited the entire destroy path between datum and human, this time
paying attention to byond's built-in vars to make sure that the built-in
refs are correctly being cleared. I've also gone and corrected some
null-access mistakes, which are most prominently caused by as anything
casts not being null checked, since as anything allows null entries in a
list to be read.
By far the worst offender I've found was the lack of clearing of the
atom.underlays var, which contains a list of refs. And when searching
for uses of this var across the repo, I've discovered it's associated
with an overwhelming majority of the remaining objects still in the hard
del trackers.
Part 3 of the Mob Destroy Refactor, this time going through the entire
list of every ref stored up to a mob/human, and (attempting) to verify
and cleanup every possible circular ref. This PR also fixes some
mistakes made with cleaning up UI elements, namely that tgui's really
don't like it when you qdel them, and screen objects also weren't always
clearing their own references if Qdel'ed directly. There were several
niche situations too where circle refs might be retained by a mob. I
also found an issue where static lights were only cleaned up on
/atom/movable/ but actually existed farther up the chain on /atom. I
don't know if any /atoms that aren't /atom/movable ever get static
lights, but the fact that they can be needs to be correctly accounted
for.
I can't possibly have gotten all of them, but this is every single one I
could find after 3 hours of work.
Rewrites Saycode and Langchat to add support for multiple languages in
one message, including audible emotes.

Here's some samples to explain how to mix languages.

`,2Emotes. ,eAnd he nods. ,3They don't have to come first anymore.`
There are some exceptions. The exceptions are currently anything with
any of the flags `SIGNLANG`, `HIVEMIND`, `PRESSUREPROOF`,
`KNOWONLYHEAR`. Exceptions work the same as current languages do: they
must be the first language in the message. If so, they prevent switching
into any other language mid-message; if they're not first, they just
wont trigger.
They're exceptions currently because there's not really a clean way that
I or the people I asked for help on this one to make them look nice.
`SIGNLANG` for example doesn't scramble text, it shows it's own `
gestures a lengthy message.` text for those that don't understand. Could
we just replace every instance of sign language with that if somebody
doesn't understand? Probably. It would look pretty awful though. e.g.
`Alina Eskelinen says, "Hello." Alina Eskelinen gestures a short
message.`
This definitely needs testmerging because it more or less rewrites the
entire pipeline surrounding `say`. The `say` code itself had to be
rewritten to support the multiple languages, as well as all the existing
plumbing for listeners receiving messages. In return though, it's
significantly more straightforward and hopefully by extension easier for
people to add to in the future.
Primarily, instead of having four different `hear_say`, `hear_radio`,
`hear_sleep`, etc., routes for messages to come through, every single
audible message is received by `hear_message`, which is responsible for
figuring out how clear the message is (is the radio damaged? is it a
whisper we're eavesdropping on?), who needs to receive it in their
chatbox, formatting it correctly for each listener, and finally if any
npc or object within range needs to react to it in some way, like a
parrot or a mech.
changelog:
- rscadd: "Adds code-switching: you can now speak in multiple languages
in the same message."
- rscadd: "Adds audible emotes to the language list. They can be
triggered with ,e."
- rscdel: "Removes SSrunechat."
- refactor: "Rewrote langchat in order to support multiple languages and
partial comprehension."
- refactor: "Rewrote a vast majority of all saycode and the code
responsible for displaying saytext to clients."
- bugfix: "Sleeping mobs are no longer able to understand all
languages."
- bugfix: "Langchat now correctly shows the appropriate comprehension
for all viewers rather than all viewers sharing the comprehension of the
last viewer."
- bugfix: "Languages which are supposed to be invisible when not
understood no longer appear as scrambled overhead text."
Forgive me whoever has to review this. Biggest areas that have room for
error is stuff like a borer inside someone's head, and Dionae stuff. Old
langchat had odd exceptions for those and I was forced to rewrite it
entirely, but I think I got it all back to how it was working before.
Refactoring the entire destroy proc path from Mob Human all the way down
to Atom while trying to find the causes for the damn mob human hard
deletes. This PR comprehensively reorganizes every single stray
snowflake var used by /atom/ all the way to /mob/living/carbon/human,
and makes sure that every var that COULD store a reference, is now
cleared during the entirety of the Mob Destroy() parent hierarchy.
This may very well be the end of the lag war.
In total, I've hunted down and cleared 39 hanging references between
/atom and /mob/living/carbon/human

Part one of our nefarious plans to destroy lag forever, and also
accomplish some cool shit.
This replaces our renderer system with plane masters, this will also be
used to turn skyboxes into backdrops and thus totally remove skybox
updating lag. Additionally, this will let us manipulate entire planes
very easily to do all sorts of zany shit. All credit goes to the
original coders, this is some seriously cool stuff.
Also fixes some bizarre smoothing behaviour, reduces updateoverlays
calls since now not every single structure in the game tries smoothing
with nothing.

Updated objects whose behavior when an ID was used on them was strictly
toggling lock/unlock status to use Alt-click functionality, with
associated pop-up messages for the clicking player. Mechanics hints for
all affected objects updated.
Fixed APC sprite's status lights for each power channel (general messy
alignment).
Updated APC sprite's lock status light to be brighter/clearer for better
visual feedback of lock status.
Added a lot of nice clicky beepy sounds to APCs. They all came from here
on TG, and they seem oooooold so I wasn't able to find credit. [So,
credit to TG for sounds/machines/terminal sounds until we track down an
actual
name!](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/tree/master/sound/machines/terminal)
Updated dmdocs as I passed by them.
Progress on DMDocs. PRing progress so far so there's not one mega PR
later with 1500 affected files.
I want my goddamn highlight text on what all these goddamn procs goddamn
do goddamnit. >:(
No actual code change anywhere in this PR, only comments.

Extends and reworks how various extended information text (desc_info,
desc_build, desc_upgrades) are handled to make object interactions and
mechanics A.) much more clearly documented in-game and B.) much easier
to support from the back-end.
Almost certainly a candidate for test merge.
Assembly/Disassembly instructions are noticeably sporadic, largely due
to our current lack of a unified framework. That's a future thing I'd
like to attack so that it can be handled programmatically, but for now I
only targeted the biggest culprits as I came across them.

Refactored mousedrag procs, added signals, some safeguards, did some
cleanups around, renamed them to make a little more sense. Mostly put in
line with TG's code.
Fast clicking and releasing with a drag, depending on the grace period
and how fast it is done, can be counted as clicks, to aid in combat
scenarios where you spamclick.
Added a bunch of flags for passflags on things that were previously
missing them.
Removed snowflake passthrow var, it's a passflag now.
Updated ClickCross and Adjacency code.
It's now possible to interact with things that are adjacent but
otherwise have a machine (or other appropriate items) blocking them, eg.
think of an APC on the wall with a machine in front of it.
Runtime map now has a bunch of new areas / items with often-tested
stuffs, and some hard-to-put-at-runtime stuffs.
Runtime map jobs now are positioned to make it faster to reach the
aforementioned often-tested stuffs.
Runtime map doesn't generate an overmap anymore by default, which speeds
up the process.
Runtime map now loads in ~11 seconds instead of ~40 seconds as it was
before.
Updated the maploader to be faster in parsing maps.
Bapi is not engaged anymore if we're only measuring the map size, which
speeds up the process.
In fastboot we do not generate the codexes anymore, which speeds up the
process.
In fastboot and if exoplanets and away sites are not enabled, we do not
parse the map templates anymore, which speeds up the process.
Updated the icon smoothing to be faster.
Optimized cargo area code.
Other optimizations.
Refactored the projectile code, mostly in line with TG's now.
Refactored various procs that are used or depends on it.
Projectiles can now ricochet if enabled to.
Damage falloffs with distance.
Homing projectiles can now have accuracy falloff with distance.
Projectiles have a maximum range.
Muzzle flash is configurable per projectile.
Impact effect of the projectile is configurable per projectile.
Accuracy decreases with distance.
Projectiles work with signals and emits them, for easy hooking up from
other parts of the code.
Meatshielding is now less effective .
Impact sound is now configurable per projectile.
High risk.
Made relaymoves uniform in function header and non sleepable.
Improved IPC/borg recharger, made it time constant.
Tweaked client/Move() to avoid a range(), moved a relaymove around to
fix a bug, some minor tweaks.
Fixed IPC/borg recharge station not taking the IPC/Borg in on bump.
Ported SSThrowing from TG, to handle throwings.
Updated movement system to the latest iteration, made it a datum as per
latest iteration.
Updated pass/hit handling of atoms, introduced pass_flag_self to
determine what atoms allow to pass.
Moved procs and defines around to make them more organized.
Added rotating alarm lights, ported (with modifications) from Baystation
12.
Cleaned up some code around visual flags and renamed one layer to align
with bay's name.
Tweaked gravity check proc to be more inline with TG's version.
Added signals for gravity check, that allows atoms to perform
anti-gravity.
Fixed roller beds thinking they have no gravity and thus not emitting
the rolling sound.
Fixes#19045
Our SSOverlays system is outdated, and is likely the cause of many of
the issues seen in #18895. It has also been linked to a massive server
performance decrease.
This brings an updated system from Baystation, hopefully with speed
increases.
Should be testmerged, ideally with #18895.

This is part 1 of a project to, eventually, bring the render planes
system from /tg/ and bay into Aurora. This is a prerequisite and blocker
for many things the development team and community want to have, and
this was long overdue.
Many objects have been re-assigned layers, which are now thoroughly
defined. Maps have had their custom layer defines purged, as we should
be moving away from this in favor of saner definitions in the base
items.
This should be a test-merge due to the sheer amount of layers changed,
which will very likely create issues that I cannot possibly discover and
debug in a reasonable amount of time myself.
