## About The Pull Request
Heretic has received a complete overhaul. This PR touches nearly every
aspect of the antagonist. For readability's sake, not every change is
going to be listed in this pull request.
For the full list of changes please refer to the design doc:

### Core changes
- Cross-pathing has been removed. Main knowledge spells are now
exclusive to their path (for the most part).
- For every main knowledge unlocked (save for the robes and the blade
upgrade), Heretics can choose one option from a draft of 3 random side
knowledges (this is a free point).
- Heretics can now purchase side knowledges from a new tab, the
"Knowledge Shop". Side-knowledges have been divided by tier (Stealth,
Defense, Summons, Combat and Main). Tiers are unlocked as you progress
toward your main path.
- Heretics now gain the grasp and mark upgrade immediately, but their
main knowledge choices cost twice as much (except for the first spell,
the robes and the blade upgrade).
- Path specific robes have been introduced! They come with their own set
of quirks.
- Each Path has received a passive ability. This passive is upgraded
when you first create your robes, and again when you complete the Ritual
of Knowledge.
- Paths have been rebalanced as a result of the removal of cross-path
progression. Cosmic and Moon paths have received soft reworks.
- Upon unlocking the path 2nd level or reaching a total of 8 points
worth of knowledge, Heretics will lose the ability to blade break (and
the limit on blades all together).
- Ascension now automatically calls the shuttle with no possibility of a
recall.
- Late join Heretic has been removed.
### New UI

/>
### Quality of life //General balance changes
- Heretics will now gain X-ray vision for a few seconds when nearby an
eldritch essence (this effect has a cooldown).
- Ritual of knowledge now requires 1 uncommon item instead of 2. You may
now use a stunprod instead of a baton to complete the ritual. Beartraps
have been removed from the list of possible reagents.
- The maximum number of possible sacrifices required to ascend has been
reduced from 6 to 5 while the minimum has been upped to 4.
- Codex Cicatrix no longer requires a special pen to be made.
### Passive abilities
- Heretics now start with a passive ability. You can find what it does
on the path info tab after a path has been selected, and what they gain
when upgraded.
- Crafting your first set of Eldritch robes will bump your passive to
level 2.
- Unlocking the 2nd level will subsequently unlock your "Ritual Of
Knowledge"
- Completing the ritual of knowledge or ascending will net you the final
level.
### Path Specific Robes
- Armorer's Ritual is no longer a side knowledge. Each path will have
their own unique version of the ritual. This is placed after the 2nd
spell in the tree.
- Robes can no longer be destroyed by fire and acid, grant t4 flash
protection (Moth Heretics stay winning) and protection against basic
syringes, to bring them on par with other antagonist's armor sets.
- The recipe to craft the robes is now a set of armor/vest, a mask (any
mask will do now, not just gas masks), plus the unique reagent required
for the blades (Plasma for Cosmic, Trash For Rust, match for Ash and so
on)
- Wearing the robes as a non-heretic may yield some unfortunate
side-effects.
### Moon Path Rework
Moon path rework.
Moon Heretics gain immunity to brain traumas and slowly regenerate brain
health. Equipping the moon amulette channels its effects through the
moon blade; making it unblockable and cause sanity damage instead of
brute. Ring leader's Rise now summons an army of harmless clones that
explode when attacked; the explosion briefly stuns non-heretics and
cause sanity and brain damage to them. Moon blade can also now be used
when pacified and Moon spells are no longer blocked by regular anti
magic, only mind magic protection.
**Cosmic Path Rework**
Cosmic path has received the biggest batch of changes alongside Moon.
The path has been dead last in ascension and pickrate (less than 5%) for
almost 2 years. It did gain some popularity over the last few months,
reaching the highest ascension rate in the game (12%) while mantaining a
relatively low pickrate.
Cosmic sits in a weird spot, where pretty much every knowledge
surrounding the path is either mediocre or, in the case of the
ascension, dysfunctional. Yet it has maintained a smidge of relevancy
due to how quickly Cosmic heretics can capture and sacrifice targets
thanks to Star Touch.
As a result, the best course of action would be to rebalance the
entirety of the kit; granting the heretic more tools to manipulate space
and dictate the flow of a fight, while lessening their ability to end a
confrontation by instantly sleeping their opponents.
lastly The Star Gazer is now ghost controlled ; And they shoot lazers!

## Why It's Good For The Game
### Ok...but why do we want this?
Again, if you want my full reasoning, please check my doc
https://hackmd.io/@BiST8PJVRjiwVPY86U3bLQ/B11HyChz1g.
To keep it short and concise; Heretic is too complex and unintuitive for
its own good. Too impenetrable for new players and too abusable for
experienced players. This can be chalked up to a lot of poor design
decisions. But ultimately, what I believe being the biggest contributor
to the current status of Heretic is the ability to move into different
paths, also known as "Cross-Pathing".
### Cross Pathing my beloathed.
Cross-pathing, while cool in theory, overcomplicates the antagonist and
overloads them with power. Players dealing with the heretic are
incapable of working out what a given heretic can do. This also leads to
late game heretics having 3 rows Worth of action buttons and virtually
no weakness.
Over the last year, I've often received the understandable but also kind
of unfair accusations of making Heretic too powerful without a clear aim
or purpose.
My goal with the paths I've reworked over the last year (Rust,Void and
Blade) wasn't necessarily to just make them stronger (although that was
also part of the goal, as they were paths that were underperforming),
but for them to have more interactions with the sandbox and to better
live up to the fantasy presented to the player.
If an harbringer of frost gets countered by a cup of coffee, we probably
messed something up.
Unfortunately, the current incarnation of Heretic doesn't really allow
for surgical balance changes to specific paths. Every time a knowledge
gets buffed, we make every path that can easily tap onto that knowledge
stronger by default. It doesn't take a genius to understand why this
system is ultimately unsustainable.
### Blade Breaking
I feel that after a heretic has reached the near peak of their power,
they no longer need the ability to instantly escape any encounter. Check
my doc for my full reasoning.
## Less versatile, more specialized paths.
By removing cross-pathing, we remove a huge maintainability burden from
the antagonist. Paths can now be designed around clearer strengths and
weaknesses. They become easier to balance and less of an headache to
understand for everyone.
It also means we can give paths some needed quality of life quirks
without having to worry how such a change might have a knock-on effect
for other paths.
Ash heretics can finally let loose without dying by their own flames.
Cosmic Heretic can go to space without having to carry a modsuit. Moon
Heretic can use their abilities without fear of one random trauma
ruining their day, and so on.
### What a horrible night to have a curse...., wait how do I curse
people again?
As of right now the heretic tree has quite a hefty amount of trinkets
that pretty much never see use.
Partly because the tree itself is a nightmare to navigate. And partly
because why would anyone set up an elaborate plan or scheme when they
can unleash 2 rows of spell in the span of bunch of seconds.
Heretics mostly gravitate towards powers that push them towards greater,
more potent combat strength. If it doesn't contribute to killing people
quicker, it isn't worth doing for most. And given the opportunity cost
associated for taking those powers, they will remain that way so long as
there are better choices to be poached.
The new draft system encourages Heretics to play more with the tools at
their disposal. If you want to go for a specific combo from the side
path options, you may now do so by tapping into the knowledge shop.
Yes, the shop does include a few knowledges from the other paths. But
these are limited to 1 per path, are very expensive and can only be
unlocked very late into the shift.
## Drip Of the Mansus
The iconic heretic robe is actually sequestered to a side path that is
most easily access by only two paths at a time. Since heretic paths are
being made to be much more specialized, the most obvious way in which
this can be showcased is through an easily
identifiable outfit.
By using the robes, we can both telegraph WHAT heretic you are looking
at, and just how much power they've accumulated and when it is
reasonable to take the kid gloves off and treat them as a genuine
threat. If a heretic is in their
robes, that heretic is now a significantly more prominent danger to the
station.
It also serves as a useful means for gating some of the more powerful
effects of a heretic's path behind the robes, AND enable options for
disarming them of that power should they be captured without making it
something endemic to their mob.
A major problem with heretics is a lack of certainty as to how powerful
they have become. A heretics robes is one of the milestones to help
players dealing with heretics identify that.
### Will this be 100% fair and balanced?
This is a massive overhaul to a pretty complex and bloated antagonist.
I've done my best to show the changes to several maintainers and other
members of the community for their feedback. But at some point we'll
have to see how this behave in the environment to get a feel if
something is over or undertuned. (that's my way of saying, yes this is
likely gonna require a testmerge or two).
What I will say is that I'm not trying to change the core identity of
Heretic.
Heretics should have the upperhand in single encounters early on, be
able to joust a small group of players after they unlock their final
spell, and end the round when they ascend. They're a progression
antagonist. They should retain their payoff as well as pose a danger as
they grow stronger.
But if more players feel like they are more reliably able to play the
antagonist in more varied and interesting ways, rather than the
antagonist largely existing as a measuring stick for 'robustness' due to
its elitist design philosophy, then the rework has been a success. There
should be something for
everyone in the antagonist, as is true for all of our antagonist roles.
## About The Pull Request
a spooky special possession pr for october appears~~
(This is just some code cleanup)
Before, some procs had the `mob_possessor` arg, and some didn't. Which
made it a nightmare to add more positional args to it down the line.
This PR just ensures that all positional args are present in all the
instances of the proc.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes this proc chain slightly less of a mess to deal with.

## About The Pull Request
Having 2 different species with similar names, looks, attributes etc.
seemed like it would be confusing so I thought we should probably trim
it down to 1, however since I'm doing that I thought of other changes to
go along with it:
- The passthrough ability was replaced, now while you're passing through
things you no longer drop stuff, but you put a tombstone where you start
phasing, and are pulled back to it while done. You still can't interact
with anything in this form. Having the tombstone dug out will be raiding
your grave, so you'll be pulled out as a dead skeleton.
- Removes holy water interactions
- Ghosts now have organic limbs & are a Humanoid, so they can have
surgery and other forms of healing used on them.
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/5db0c204-0070-466b-8b6c-1702ff0fd94e
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ghosts being available to Wizards is okayish but is a rather big buff
for one you get free, yes you can still be caught up to if you're in
hallways and such but it's way easier to get away with than like, your
default teleport scroll even. Being available to Miners though was a big
mistake because it opened them to be quite an annoyance with it. The
only counter was the fact no healing worked on them, which I don't think
is how it should be balanced.
I thought I could trust players with such tools but apparently I had too
high hopes.
Anyway this makes it more bearable for it to be given out at the low
cost it currently is at, it's still good as flavor, to spook people or
ghost around, and I think while it doesn't make 100% sense why you lose
access to your hands, inventory, and UI when you supposedly "drop" your
tombstone, I think it's still a good advantage for "scouting", sorta
like a lesser spirit realm rune.
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/91849
## Changelog
🆑
del: Merged ghosts and spirits into one species.
balance: Spirit's passthrough ability is now tied down 7 tiles from a
tombstone, but is no longer affected by holy water nor does it make them
drop their equipped gear.
balance: Ghosts can now be healed.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds two more ghost cafe infinidorms - an engineering themed one
and a swimming pool one.
- The engineering one includes fake emitters (reskinned watertanks) and
a fake supermatter - the soupermatter, a highly classified variant of
the supermatter that you can use a bowl on to get soup (it's a var
edited prison serving tray).
- The pool one consists of a changing room, a showers, and a rather
sizeable pool. Swimming pools are cool, but they're ass to set up, and
most pools in-game just lack that proper indoors public swimming pool
aesthetic.
In addition, it also adds the two hotel rooms by JustMeTheIInd, as
they're damn nice and it'd be a shame for them not to see the light of
day. None of the items should be dangerous, the most severe one I could
find was an armoured vest. Credit to JustMeTheIInd for the rooms.

## Why It's Good For The Game
More variety! This gives players more options as to where to locate
their scenes when using the ghost cafe. In addition, you can finally,
_finally,_ shag in the supermatter and not get bwoinked by admins for it
(probably, anyhow. I didn't test to see if an admin would ban you for
using this hotel room).

A few places seem to call `hitby` or `throw_impact` without a throwing

stuff

## About The Pull Request
A few places seem to call `hitby` or `throw_impact` without a throwing
datum to mimic the effect of colliding with something, which is cringe,
but I guess we should support it.
So we need to nullcheck for `get_thrower`, else it runtimes and cancels
the whole proc.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Glass shards from colliding with vendors or glass table hurt you

## About The Pull Request
Alleviates #91603
As in it does not fix it because i have not been able to reproduce it.
It now checks for invalid values and defaults to `amount`(which is 1)
during `Initialize()` and not null so we don't have to pass the number
`1` when creating a single sheet.
A stack trace is thrown for <= 0 sheet amounts so we can debug & fix
stuff
## Changelog
🆑
code: stacks error on invalid amounts, removed manual passing of number
`1` when creating a single stack in many cases

This PR aims to clean or bring up to date portions of code about dna,
the dna console and mutations. This includes taking care of or removing
some of the awful choices like the pratically useless
`datum/mutation/human` pathing, or the class variable, in favor of using
sources to avoid potential issues with extraneous sources of a mutation.
The files changed are over a hundred just because I removed the
`datum/mutation/human` path, but the actual bulk of the code is mainly
shared between the datum/dna.dm, _mutations.dm and dna_console.dm.
Mutation shitcode is hurting my future plans for infusions a little.
Also it's a much needed refactor. Drafted 'till I'm sure it works
without issues.

Refactors most of blood handling code untouched by #90593 and completely
rewrites all blood decals, components and reagents.
- Blood types now have behavioral flags which allow them to control
where they leave decals/DNA/viruses. Oil no longer transfers DNA and
viruses with it, while podpeople water-blood doesn't leave visible
decals on turfs and items, but still can be picked up by DNA scanners.
- Multiple blood types have received unique handling - liquid
electricity blood now glows in the dark, oil trails are flammable and
lube ones are slippery. Oil blood can be restored with fuel, lube with
silicon and slime with stable plasma (as normal plasma already passively
regenerates their blood), instead of everything using iron. Saline
solution only supplements on iron-based blood and won't do anything to
help with bloodloss for species who rely on different blood types.
(Roundstart this applies only to Ethereals)
- All blood logic has been moved away from the blood reagent itself into
a blood element that is assigned to the blood reagent by default, and to
any reagent that's drawn from a mob as their "blood" (in
``transfer_blood_to``). This means that blood you draw from lizards will
be green and have lizard's blood description instead of mentioning red
blood cells, Ethereal "blood" will actually contain their DNA and genes,
etc.
- Refactored all blood decals. Blood states are no more, everything is
now handled via blood DNA. Credits to MrMelbert and Maplestation, as a
significant amount of code has been taken from
https://github.com/MrMelbert/MapleStationCode/pull/436 and many of his
followup PRs. Oil and xenomorph splatters are now subtypes of blood,
blood drying is now animated, blood trails now curve and can be
diagonal.
- Rewrote bloodysoles and bloody_spreader components, credits to Melbert
again for the former, while latter now makes more sense with its
interactions. Bloody soles no longer share blood DNA with your hands.
- Ported Melbert's bloody footprint sprites and bot-blood-spreading
functionality.
- Removed all species-side reagent interactions, instead they're handled
by said species' livers. (This previously included exotic blood
handling, thus the removal)
- Slightly optimized human rendering by removing inbetween overlay
holders for clothing when they're not needed.
- Blood-transmitted diseases will now get added to many more decals than
before.
- Cleaned up and partially refactored replica pods, fixed an issue where
monkeys/manipulators were unable to harvest mindless pods.
- Exotic bloodtype on species now automatically assigns their blood
reagent, without the need to assign them separately.
- Clown mobs now bleed (with colorful reagent instead of blood during
april fools), and so do vatbeasts (lizard blood)
- Implemented generic procs for handling bleeding checks, all sorts of
scanners now also correctly call your blood for what it is.
- Podpeople's guts are now lime-green like their organs, instead of
being weirdly greyish like their water-blood. (Their bleeding overlays
are still grey, as they're bleeding water)
- Slimepeople now can bleed. Their jelly is pale purple in color, but
their wound overlays copy their body color.
- Injecting/spraying/splashing/etc mob with a reagent preserves its
data, so you could theoretically recycle fine wines from someone's
bloodstream
- Fixed burdened chaplain's sect never actually giving a blessing when
applying effects, and giving a blessing when nothing can be healed.
Inverted check strikes again.
- Closes#91039
A lot of blood here has dried, visually the blood colors are almost
exactly the same as before either of the blood refactors.

Revival of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86482, which is

What this PR does:
- Sets up every single GAGS icon in the game to have their own preview
icon autogenerated during compile. This is configurable to not run
during live. The icons are created in `icons/map_icons/..`
- This also has the side effect of providing accurate GAGS icons for
things like the loadout menu. No more having to create your own
previews.

<details><summary>Uses iconforge so it does not take up much time during

this still applies:
Note for Spriters:
After you've assigned the correct values to vars, you must run the game
through init on your local machine and commit the changes to the map
icon dmi files. Unit tests should catch all cases of forgetting to
assign the correct vars, or not running through init.
Note for Server Operators:
In order to not generate these icons on live I've added a new config
entry which should be disabled on live called GENERATE_ASSETS_IN_INIT in
the config.txt
No more error icons in SDMM and loadout.

refactor: preview icons for greyscale items are now automatically
generated, meaning you can see GAGS as they actually appear ingame while
mapping or viewing the loadout menu.

Melee attack chain now has a list passed along with it,
`attack_modifiers`, which you can stick force modifiers to change the
resulting attack
This is basically a soft implementation of damage packets until a more
definitive pr, but one that only applies to item attack chain, and not
unarmed attacks.
This change was done to facilitate a baton refactor - batons no longer
hack together their own attack chain, and are now integrated straight
into the real attack chain. This refactor itself was done because batons
don't send any attack signals, which has been annoying in the past (for
swing combat).
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Batons have been refactored again. Baton stuns now properly
count as an attack, when before it was a nothing. Report any oddities,
particularly in regards to harmbatonning vs normal batonning.
refactor: The method of adjusting item damage mid-attack has been
refactored - some affected items include the Nullblade and knives.
Report any strange happenings with damage numbers.
refactor: A few objects have been moved to the new interaction chain -
records consoles, mawed crucible, alien weeds and space vines, hedges,
restaurant portals, and some mobs - to name a few.

closet types (including crates)

## About The Pull Request
Fully removes thrownby as a var on items, and is now instead handled by
throwingdatums' ``get_thrower()`` proc
Also replaces the early return for throwing things at yourself (it now
only prevents the call for check_block and therefore hit reaction
stuff), since the only way to throw things at yourself is with
boomerangs, which currently only works because it doesn't pass you as
the thrower for boomerang's return
Speaking of, boomerangs now see the thrower as thrower on returns
Before (Boomerangs don't pass you as the thrower, so it shows you as
being hit by nothing):
After (Boomerangs pass you and you can affect yourself, so it sees you
hitting yourself & it still batons you):
This is gonna be used for
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/90689 as well.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Better logging for boomeranged items, removes a deprecated var and
better consistency for thrown items leaving better readability.

## About The Pull Request
This PR replaces the toggleable safe mode with Manual, Assisted and
Stasis.
Manual and Stasis mode works much like the old safe mode being off and
on respectively. The real addition here is the new default assisted
mode, which automatically sets fluid and temperature based on what
combination of these two settings would keep the most fish alive. It can
also temporarily enable stasis if over half of the fish population is at
risk of dying.
The main difference with stasis is that it doesn't necessarily prevent
fish death if it's a minority of the general population, rather just
make aquarium easier for players to manage.
Also added a line about fluid and temp when examining aquariums.
Still have to test it, definitely a WIP.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I want to make aquariums a bit easier and more accessible, since the
benefits are fairly meager for the efforts needed to maintain one,
excluding the power generator. I'll probably look into fish traits and
fish reproduction next, who knows...
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
This PR:
- Converts all of the blood types into their own datums, which can be
set up to have their own colors, descriptions, and other fun unique
properties. For example, the clown blood that is constantly randomizing
itself.
- Converts all the blood decals into greyscale, which in turn eliminates
the need for separate xeno sprites. They both use the same ones now.
- Audit of blood splatters/gibs/bodyparts/organs to make sure that they
are getting the correct forensic data applied to them.
- For the admins: Adds a clown blood smite.
My primary goal with was to make the appearance of the new sprites look
almost indistinguishable to the original ones.
I consider this a "first pass", as in there are still some further
refactors I would like to do on the backend side, but am satisfied with
it enough to push it forward as a first step towards a better blood
system! I didn't want to do too much at once because of A) fatigue and
B) easier to test things to make sure I'm not breaking something
important this way.
This has been test-merged on Nova for over a week now and has been going
great, so I finally got around to upstreaming the bones to TG. Although
I did test it a bit you may want to TM it just in case I missed some
things when copying it over.
People can now pet held mothroaches and pugs if they want to, or use
items on them, hopefully without causing many issues. After all, it only
took about a couple dozen lines of code to make...
...Oh, did the 527 files changed or the 850~ lines added/removed perhaps
catch your eye? Made you wonder if I accidentally pushed the wrong
branch? or skewed something up big time? Well, nuh uh. I just happen to
be fed up with the melee attack chain still using stringized params
instead of an array/list. It was frankly revolting to see how I'd have
had to otherwise call `list2params` for what I'm trying to accomplish
here, and make this PR another tessera to the immense stupidity of our
attack chain procs calling `params2list` over and over and over instead
of just using that one call instance from `ClickOn` as an argument. It's
2025, honey, wake up!
I also tried to replace some of those single letter vars/args but there
are just way too many of them.
Improving old code. And I want to be able to pet mobroaches while
holding them too.
