MrMelbertandGitHub 6395f12833 Adds a rewards bonus for nohitting combat bitrunning domains (#93531)
## About The Pull Request

Completing a combat bitrunning domain grants 0.8 score bonus per player
that escaped without being hit

## Why It's Good For The Game

I figured it be a fun challenge to try to nohit these things, especially
the megafauna ones. For a bonus.

_0StevenandGitHub fe1e071499 Bitrunning Gimmick Loadout Disks (feat. minor disk load refactor) (#88716)
## About The Pull Request

Where I forget about a pr for 5 months.

This started because there was a pr that made it so skills transfer
between the real and the digital, and so I thought it'd be really funny
if I could train boxing in virtual reality... but there's no easy way to
get boxing gloves or anything like it in the virtual world...
So! I decided to make a disk for it, but then thought about fishing and
gaming and-
Anyhow it all went downhill from there and here we are now: Gimmick
Disks. (And a refactor of disk loading)

This implements a new type of bitrunning disk that instead of a single
item or ability, grants a full set of thematic items/abilities!
Unhelpfully cosplay as a wizard! Game inside your game! Down a digital
protein shake and box some simplemobs!
As the name "Gimmick" implies, these are primarily intended to help
shake up the sometimes stale bitrunner gameplay.
By letting you invoke, if you so desire, what to me is the most
enjoyable gaming experience: doing stupid shit with your buddies.

To facilitate the new type of disk I had to refactor disk loading, as it
was hardcoded to the item types.
Instead, we make disk loading send a signal to the bitrunner, and
register for this when held in their inventory.
This allows us to do things like making the lead acid battery give you
shock touch when held, without needing to make an explicit typecheck or
iterate over every item in the bitrunner's nested contents to see if
they have a loadable item.
## Why It's Good For The Game

I think it'd be really funny if you could train your boxing in the
digital realm.
As said above, I feel the bitrunner gameplay can get stale sometimes,
and this is how I hope to help people shake it up for themselves
sometimes. By giving them more stupid shit to do.
Doing stupid extended bits with other people is one of the things I
enjoy most out of ss13, and this is there to let the bitrunners do
exactly that with each other.

And sometimes you just have to roleplay as Gamers™️ entering virtual
reality to fight the virtual syndicate in bad cosplay while roleplaying
as a wizard smoking his magic weed, an overly edgy rogue, and the healer
desperately trying to keep them from exploding into a million pieces.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Bitrunning item/ability loading has been refactored. Please
report any issues.
add: Added Bitrunning gimmick loadout disks. These disks contain full
sets of equipment for all your digital cosplay needs, each including
questionably helpful equipment. Currently includes Sports (Boxer,
Skater, Archer, Fisher, Gamer) and Dungeon Crawling (Alchemist, Rogue,
Healer, Wizard).
add: Taking a lead acid battery into the netpod with you now gives your
bit avatar shock touch.

MrMelbertandGitHub c1047432c0 Bitrunners can broadcast their bitruns to the crew via Entertainment Monitors (#82218)
## About The Pull Request


![image](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/51863163/72b90aba-863c-4776-b596-89f0dc0ee45f)

Bitrunners are now equipped with body cameras. 
The Quantum Console now holds a switch which you can toggle on to
broadcast your body camera footage to the station's Entertainment
Monitors.

I also cleaned up some balloon alerts

## Why It's Good For The Game

I did a gimmick with a bunch of bitrunners and thought it was lame I
couldn't watch them as they did the bitrunning part.
So here we are. I think it is pretty neat and fun, and also kinda
thematic, since it is VR after all.

## Changelog

add: Bitrunners can now broadcast their Bitruns to the station's

ba5ae73dac Adds more bitrunning antagonists + fixes (READY) (#79522)
## About The Pull Request
Reopened #78997
Larger patch for bitrunning that addresses a few issues.

- Two new antagonists: cyber tac and netguardian
- Quantum server emag opportunity
- Modular mob packs: Like random spawners, but for groups
- Antag spawning fixed: vdom antags now have up to a 10% chance to spawn
based on domains loaded
- Virtual domains are no longer all fullbright by default, only the
outdoorsy ones
- Actually deletes legion map file, since it was removed in #79424

## Why It's Good For The Game
- Bitrunning antagonists are so incredibly rare that it's underwhelming
to play as one for the solid second they offer if you even get the role
- Bitrunners had basically no traitor route to follow, they became
assistants with black outfits

Fixes #79465

<details>
<summary>More info</summary>

Bitrunners don't have any type of traitor options. If they're made into
traitors, there's nothing bitrunner related they can do, and their
access is particularly bad so it's like they're a worse assistant. I've
coupled this with the bitrunning antagonist system, which is now
fixed.\. Bitrunners can now attempt to coax these entities to come onto
the station, however they are not given any form of allegiance for doing
so (and are quite counterable).

Previously, vdom antagonists relied on so many factors to spawn that it
basically wouldn't happen. Now, it runs on the server each time there is
a map loaded, with increasing probability as the round progresses. This
builds up the list of spawnable antagonists, of which two are new,
including an entirely new giant mech megafauna. This is the first
"megafauna-esque" basic mob in the game. Its AI is bad, it's really only
meant to be player controlled, but this does mean an admin can spawn
them. Being mech, they are very counterable with ion rifles and the
like.

Several refactors, rewrites, and overall bug fixes are included in this
PR.

Lastly, I added a framework for making bitrunner maps more random, the
modular mob spawning system, which works in conjunction with random
crate locations.

🆑
add: Bitrunning Patch 1 features a host of changes!
add: Added randomized mobs to virtual domains, which will be indicated
with a unique icon.
add: New emag interaction with the quantum server. Antags will spawn
more frequently, and they can hack themselves onto the station. You have
been warned.
add: Both living and dead players can now see which mob is going to
spawn an antagonist in the vdom.
add: Two new vdom antagonists: Cyber Tac and the NetGuardian. These
unlock at specific thresholds.

bitrunning disks.
balance: Some of the disk items have been replaced with stronger
versions.
fix: You can no longer spy on crew using the advanced camera console on
syndicate assault.
fix: Fixed the spawning mechanism of virtual domain antagonists. You
should now have a chance of playing as one. This chance increases as
more domains are completed.
fix: Vdom antagonists shouldn't spawn at the end of the run any longer.
fix: The preference for vdom antagonists has been changed to factor in
the new types. Check your preferences!
fix: The quantum server will now show its balloon alerts to all
observers.
fix: Random domains should be fully random again.

a3849062b8 Feature: bitrunner, a new supply role (READY) (#77259)
## About The Pull Request
[Design doc](https://hackmd.io/@shadowh4nd/r1P7atPjn) 

Adds a new supply role centered on short dungeon-esque runs with a focus
on unifying the job with the fun part. Some virtual domains are combat
related, some are silly, some focus on "objectives". Avatar health is
linked to your physical presence and retries are limited.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Content, firstly, and moreso being supply department content.

The framework that this implements is a great (preauthorized)
replacement for two systems which are collecting dust: BEPIS and the
gateway. They integrate into this system and it's a direct upgrade.

This adds a way for the players on station to generate materials (if
that remains). The nice part about it is that I can throw balance and
believability to the wind, as unlike its unrelated predecessor VR or
away missions, bitrunning entirely washes its hands of the map and mobs
each reboot.

It offers a very expandable map framework to add content and it's all
fairly well documented.

I'd like to add a feature that represents the idea that jobs don't have
to be mundane and "external" jobs can stay tied to the main gameplay
loop.

## Changelog
