## About The Pull Request
I'm making the ordeal of finding a maint disk (or buying blackmarket
bootleg disk) with a theme in it a slightly more rewarding experience,
while sticking to the concept that it's something you've to find, unlike
default PDA themes.
This PR also proves to be an opportunity to put the progress tab that I
coded a year ago for the 'Fishdex' to good use.
TODO:
~~Refactor preferences to allow specific choices to be shown/hidden
depending on whether the player meets a defined criteria, otherwise
you'll have to do it manually every round, which is lame~~
- [x] Make some simple ui icons associated with each unlockable theme to
be shown in the cheevo progress tab
- [x] Code to validate deserialized DB values, in the remote case that
any theme is removed in the future, as well as unit test code for any
non-abstract theme without ID
- [x] Add sound cue and chat feedback when unlocking a theme (or when
fishing a new kind of fish for the first time, like, the code's similar)
- [x] Test all of this
## Why It's Good For The Game
These themes are basically an end in itself, and I understand the reason
behind their existence is to make for some cute, little maint loot, but
relegating it to chance of finding a disk somewhere in maintenance,
**every single round** really rots whatever little substance this purely
cosmetic feature already has.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Once installed, special PDA themes from maintenance disks will be
present on your roundstart PDA on future rounds (Sadly I couldn't figure
out a way to add those to the preferences UI yet). You can check which
PDA themes you've unlocked in the Progress tab of the achievements UI.

## About The Pull Request
As the title says. A standard power cell now only stores 10 KJ and
drains power similar to how it did before the refactor to all power
appliances.
The new standard megacell stock part stores 1 MJ (what cells store right
now). APCs and SMESs have had their power cells replaced with these
megacell stock parts instead. Megacells can only be used in APCs and
SMESs. It shouldn't be possible to use megacells in any typical
appliance.
This shouldn't change anything about how much 'use' you can get out of a
power cell in regular practice. Most should operate the same and you
should still get the same amount of shots out of a laser gun, and we can
look at expanding what can be switched over to megacells, e.g. if we
want mechs to require significantly more power than a typical appliance.
Thanks to Meyhazah for the megacell icon sprites.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Power cell consumption is way too high ever since the power appliance
refactor that converted most things to be in joules. It's a bit
ridiculous for most of our machinery to drain the station's power supply
this early on.
The reason it's like this is because regular appliances (laser guns,
borgs, lights) all have a cell type that is identical to the APC/SMES
cell type. And it means that if we want to provide an easy way to charge
these appliances without making it easy to charge APCs/SMESs through a
power bug exploit, we need to introduce a new cell type to differentiate
between what supplies power and regular appliances that use power. This
is primarily what the megacell stock part does.
This moves us back to what it was originally like before the power
refactor, where recharging power cells wouldn't drain an exorbitant
amount of energy. However, it maintains the goal of the original
refactor which was to prevent people from cheesing power generation to
produce an infinite amount of power, as the power that APCs and SMESs
operate at is drastically different from the power that a regular
appliance uses.
## Changelog
🆑 Watermelon, Mayhazah
balance: Drastically reduces the power consumption and max charge of
power cells
balance: Added a new stock part called the battery, used primarily in
the construction of APCs and SMESs.
add: Suiciding with a cell/battery will shock you and potentially dust
you/shock the people around you if the charge is great enough.

## About The Pull Request
This PR integrates circuits for modular computers and a good bits of
their programs.
The peculiarity here is that modular computers have no fixed amount of
unremovable components (except the base one with just a couple ports for
now), instead, they're added and removed along with programs. With a few
exceptions (such as the messenger and signaler), for these program
circuits to work, their associated program has to be either open or in
the background.
For a reason or another, not all programs have a circuit associated to
them, still, however the programs with a circuit are still a handful.
They are:
- Nanotrasen Pay System
- Notepad
- SiliConnect
- WireCarp
- MODsuit Control
- Spectre Meter
- Direct Messenger*
- LifeConnect
- Custodial Locator
- Fission360
- Camera
- Status Display
- SignalCommander
*By the by, sending messages has a cooldown, so it shouldn't be as
spammy. If it turns out to not be enough, I can make it so messages from
circuit will be ignored by other messenger circuits.
The PR is no longer WIP.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe modular computers could make for some interesting setups with
circuits, since they're fairly flexible and stocked with features unlike
many other appliances, therefore also a speck more abusable, though
limits, cooldowns, logging and sanitization have been implemented to
keep it in check.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Modular Computers now support integrated circuits. What can be done
with them depends on the programs installed and whether they're running
(open or background).
add: Modular Consoles (the machinery) now have a small backup cell they
draw power from if the power goes out.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new PDA program to the supply category, which allows
users to redeems coupons for various cargo packs (mostly goodies), like
the ones also found at the bottom of cig packs.
How it works is fairly simple:
- Once installed, the modular computer subsystem will periodically, at a
3-5 minutes interval, generate a coupon code datum associated to a plain
text code, which is sent out to everyone with the program installed.
- The user can then open the program and insert the text into an input
box to redeem the coupon code, which is then associated with their bank
account.
- He will then have to find a photocopier, and tap it with the PDA to
print the coupon. Only one coupon can be printed. Photocopier fees
apply, so it'd cost 5 creds to the average assistant to print the
coupon.
- He can then insert the coupon in a cargo console and order/reuest the
associated pack (same deal as cig coupons).
- Some coupon codes however, especially those with juicer discounts,
will expire after a while if not printed.
Albeit mostly innocuous, the program provides negative Detomatix
resistance, slowly fills the computer file storage with trash files with
each redeemed coupon, and halves the download speed of new apps. Not
really the cleanest ware out there.
This PR also extends coupons to several non-goody packs, since they have
been privately buyable for over the last couple years now. Some packs
get discounts less frequently however, with those in the uncommon
category being roughly 1 in a 12 chance and the rare being 1 in 50.
Here's a screenshot of the UI (outdated, I've reduced the height from
500 to 400 and the notice box tip to specify the right click):
Fun fact: Right now, the odds of a 75% discount coming from the Coupon
Master for the 1.000.000 credits bycycle pack are roughly 0.0012%, while
that of a 50% for the same pack, from a cig pack coupon are 0.0042%.
## Why It's Good For The Game
These last couple days I've been wanting to test myself at making simple
UIs, as well as contributing to the modular computers feature, which has
started to become pretty neat ever since PDAs were reworked into a
subtype of it.
Beside, coupons are a very small feature limited to the bottom of
cigarette packs (also possibly cursed) in the current state of affairs.
Cargo is filled with packs that are niche or fluff. Modular computers
also has those little things that, while interesting, do not contribute
a whole lot. Maybe this is one of them, but I guess free* coupons are
always a big W.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added the 'Coupon Master' program for the PDA. Install it to
receive periodical, redeemable coupons for several cargo packs. Requires
NTnet connection and the messenger enabled to work.
add: Coupons are no longer only limited to goodies, but may also apply
discount to some other packs as well.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds in a new app that scans the nearby area for "spookiness"
(e.g. presence of ghosts, mobs with the spirit biotype, objects made
with hauntium or containing hauntium). A bit clunky by all means. It's a
maintenance app, and as such is more often found in the rare maintenance
computer disks, or downloadable from emagged PDAs (IIRC), or perhaps the
black market item which I've also added here as well, that might contain
it amongst other things.
Oh, if you also have the camera app, it'll let you take pictures of
ghosts like the 'camera obscura' does.
Oh, and there's also a maintenance version of the arcade program too;
just , like, lazier and easier.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mostly a shower thought, 'cause I felt the idea maintenance disks to be
quite interesting yet lackluster, almost too niche. As for the remote
thought of using the app for validhunting, it isn't something you can
reliably get every and every other round, and if someone's got enough
ghosts circling them, chances are they're some big, loud antag or doing
something so cheeky, that they kinda deserve it.
Also, yeah, more black market stuff. Except for the misc section, it's
pretty lacking in uniqueness.
Screenshot of the UI, taken at the distance of one tile from a revenant:
## Changelog
🆑
add: The Spectre-Meter modular computer app. A little, amatuerishly
coded app that, as the name implies, scan an area for spectral presence.
It can be found amongst other apps in maintenance computer disks.
add: An easier, lazier version of the Arcade app, also found in
maintenance.
add: Black market computer disks, which contains programs not readily
available to the average assistant.

## About The Pull Request
This is an update that touches many more things all at once (compared to
my other PRs) meant to make PDAs in general feel more consistent and not
take away from one of the experiences we want to encourage: interaction
between players.
1. Replaced all checks of a 'pda' with a 'modular pc'. This means
technically (though not done in-game currently) other modpcs can hold an
uplink, and microwaves can charge laptops.
2. Speaking of microwave, they now don't break and require
deconstruction if the cell is removed mid-charge.
3. When a Mod PC is out of power, it will now allow the Messenger to
work (which now also doesn't consume any additional power), if the app
exists on the PC. Here's a video demonstration
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/7ae12f81-a271-49b8-95fa-2ba54d2e2d1f
4. Flashlights can't be turned on while the cell is dead
5. I replaced a bunch of program vars with ``program_flags`` and renamed
``usage_flags`` to ``can_run_on_flags``.
6. Added a debug modPC that has every app installed by default. Mafia
had some issues in the past that were unknown because Mafia wasn't
preinstalled with any tablet so was never in create & destroy nor in any
other unit test. This was just an easy solution I had, but PDAs should
get more in-depth unit tests in the future for running apps n stuff- I
just wanted to make sure no other apps were broken/harddeling.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently when a PDA dies, its only use is to reply to PDA messages sent
to you, since you can still reply to them. Instead of just fixing it and
telling players to cope, I thought it would be nice to allow PDA
Messenger to still work, as it is a vital app.
You can call it some emergency power mode or whatever, I don't really
mind the reason behind why it is this way.
When I made cells used more on PDAs, my main goal was to encourage
upgrading your PDA and/or limiting how many apps you use at once, I did
not want this to hit on players who use it as a form of interaction.
This is the best of both worlds, I think.
The rest of the changes is just for modularity, if some downstream wants
to add tablets, phone computers, or whatever the hell else, they can
still get just as far as PDAs should be able to get to, hopefully.
## Changelog
🆑
add: PDAs with a dead power cell are now limited to using their
Messenger app.
fix: Microwaves now stop charging PDAs if the cell was removed
mid-charge.
fix: Microwaves can now charge laptops.
fix: PDA Flashlights can't be turned on while the PDA is dead.
fix: You can now hold a laptop up to a camera (if it has a notekeeper
app installed) like PDAs already could.

## About The Pull Request
I deleted the documentation file of ModPCs because it was barebones and
had no new information to give that autodoc couldn't. Just to make sure
this isn't a net-negative, I improved on much of the autodoc and
comments in general around ModPC code to help people understand easier
what's going on around it.
I also renamed vars that were too easily confused with other var names,
and reworked the ntnet downloader a little;
- it now has a search bar
- it now has more sections to scroll through, hopefully making it more
accurate and easy to find what you need.
- also organized the apps that were previously shoved in 'other'.
- i also upgraded it to a .tsx because why not

## About The Pull Request
`ALL` aliases to exactly `(~0)`, so lets just use that instead for
better explicitness on what we're doing there bitflag wise. Better
explicitness throughout the code is always a good thing. Had to rename a
file to ensure it would work out but I figure something like this would
come back to bite us eventually, so w/e.
## About The Pull Request
- Fixes background apps not reloading the UI
- Standardizes opening/closing/backgrounding apps
- Simplifies the way apps are closed instead of having 2 procs, one on
the PC and one on the program, being named the same thing (wtf)
- Removes program states. They existed so computers can know to update
their UI every process tick, but since we now do this event based, this
is no longer needed, which is good.
- Replaces the 'forced' arg from kill_program as it was completely
unused, with ``reload_ui``, which is now used to open the UI on close,
and not to when we don't want it to.
- Closing background apps no longer reloads the entire UI
- Responding to an NT Message will no longer open the UI on your face.

## About The Pull Request
Removes NtNet softwaredownload/communication because they did nothing,
so this also removes the feature to shut them off from Wirecarp
I removed tablets from being added to networks, Tablets already generate
logs for actions they do, which is already enough for the effects it has
in-game (just being visible to Wirecarp), once NtNet is deleted from
everything else then we can move it to ModPCs and limit logging to only
ModPC actions.
Fixes shutting off ntnet relays from Wirecarp, now you can properly shut
off Ntnet, and the warning that it kicks you out of the program is now
true.
Gives the Holodeck it's own network root define and fixes Syndicate
network showing up on Wirecarp
Wirecarp's PDA logs now shows the source of an action
## Why It's Good For The Game
Moves ModPCs further from NTNet so we can move towards deleting it
entirely
Makes Wirecarp more responsible and trustworthy
Removes useless stuff that never gets used, simplifying a overthought
overcomplicated system.

## About The Pull Request
This is a port/rework of
https://github.com/yogstation13/Yogstation/pull/15735 - I changed a lot
of how it acted (some themes are locked behind maintenance apps).
The original author allowed this port to happen, and I really liked how
it looked there so I'd like to add it here.
### Applications
Removes the hardware configurator application, as all it did was show
you your space and battery now that all hardware was removed. These are
things your PC does by default, so it was just a waste of space.
Adds a Theme manager application instead, which allows you to change
your PDA's theme at will.
Adds a new Maintenance application that will give a new theme, however
it will also increase the size of the theme manager app itself as it's
bloatware.
### Menu
There's now a bar at the top of the menu showing 'special' tablet apps
which, for one reason or another, should stand out from the rest of the
apps. Currently this is PDA messenger and the Theme manager
Flashlight and Flashlight color is now only an icon, and is shown on the
same line as Updating you ID
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/961874788706574386/1069621173693972551/2023-01-30_09-10-52.mov
### Themes
Adds a lot of themes to choose from, although SOME are hidden behind
Maintenance applications, which will give you a random theme. These are
bloatware however, so they come with some extra cost to the app's
required space storage.
Themes are now supported on ALL APPLICATIONS! If you have a computer
theme, you will have that theme in EVERY app you enter, rather than just
a select few.
ALSO also, emagging the tablet will automatically set & unlock the
Syndicate theme, which makes your PDA obvious but you can disguise it if
you wish through just re-painting it to something else.
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/828923843829432340/1069565383155122266/2023-01-30_05-29-53.mov
### Preferences
This also adds a pref for theme, reworking the ringtone code to work
with it as well. I also removed 2 entirely unused PDA prefs just 'cause.
Screenshot not up-to-date, they now have proper names.
### Other stuff
Made defines for device_themes
Added support for special app-side checks to download files
Fixed programs downloading themselves TWICE because defines all had the
same definition
Removes the Chemistry computer disk as it was empty due to chemistry
app's removal
Removes the 'run_emag' proc, since apps can directly refer to the
computer to check for emag status instead.
Moved over and added better documentation on data computer files, and
moved the ordnance ones to the same file as the others.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It makes PDAs a lot more customizable while adding more features to
maintenance applications. I think the themes look cool and it fits with
PDAs being "personal" anyways.
I also explained most of my other arguments in the about section, such
as the hardware configuration application.
## Changelog
🆑 Chubbygummibear & JohnFulpWillard
add: A ton of new NtOS themes, which are accessible by the new Themify
application that comes with all PCs.
add: Emagging a PC now defaults it to the Syndicate option (and adds it
to go back to it if you wish)
add: There's a new maintenance app that gives you rarer themes
qol: The NtOS Main menu was moved around, added "header" applications
that are shown where the Flashlight is, such as your Theme manager and
PDA messenger.
code: Made defines for device_themes
code: Added support for special app-side checks to download files
code: Removes the 'run_emag' proc, since apps can directly refer to the
computer to check for emag status instead.

chemistry app's removal

## About The Pull Request
1. Removes unused defines (DIAG_CIRCUIT_HUD, LIGHTING_BASE_MATRIX,
pda_styles and the defines it uses, MAFIA_MEDAL_CHARISMATIC &
MAFIA_MEDAL_VIP).
2. Removes double spaces (or tab->space & space->tab) from everywhere I

cleaner and brings it up to date with our most recent standards.

not player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
Adds the modular computer subsystem which is meant to replace mod PC's
reliance on networks and radios, specifically the network subsystem, the
ntnet interface, and /datum/ntnet. This PR removes station_root ntnets
entirely, but I tried to keep it small.
This PR also removes a ton of unused vars and defines, such as NTNet
channels that were unused (peer2peer and systemcontrol), atmos networks
(as they were removed a while ago) and NTNet var on relays (its stated
purpose is so admins can see it through varedits, but that's useless now
that it's a subsystem)
I also removed ``setting_disabled`` as a thing the RD can do, it turned
off ALL ntnet systems. However, this was when there were 4 different
ones, now that there's only 2 I thought it was redundant and he could
just click 2 buttons to close them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
``/datum/ntnet``, ``/datum/component/ntnet_interface``, and
``/datum/controller/subsystem/networks`` are all old-code messes that
depend on eachother and is hard for people to understand what exactly it
adds to the game. 90% of its features is allowing the Wirecarp app to
see all the ruins that spawned in-game, which I don't think is something
that we even WANT (why does the RD need to know that oldstation spawned?
Why should they know this anyway??)
This hopefully starts to simplify networks/ntnet to make it easier to
remove in the future, because surely there are better alternatives than
**this**

Removes the last computer part in the game: ID parts
Because this is removed, I also removed all computer hardware in the
game, and removed mentions of it in the game.
There is still 'hardware', as in Computer, Tablet, or Laptop.
Computers now all hold one ID slot by default, the only time a second ID
was needed was to use the access of both at once, and for the ID
modification application. This was now replaced with a new UI that only
has one tab, one ID slot:

## About The Pull Request
Removes cell parts and cell part cells, now tablets directly stole a
power cell in them, and uses regular stock cells like every other
machine in the game. This also makes it less confusing because people
are more used to stock cells over computer cells. Because cells
generally hold more power than computer ones, I bumped up the active
power usage from 50 to 75.
