## About The Pull Request
Main changes
- `handle_mutations` is gone, DNA Injectors are now managed via a status
effect
- `handle_diseases` is gone, disease stages are just handled via life
signal
- `handle_bodyparts` is gone, it was unused and in the future any
implementations should use a life signal
- `spec_life` is gone, the main content of it is now in `human/Life`,
most children implementations now use life signal, zombie tongues now
handle zombie groans
- Life signal was split in two (pre and active)
Other changes
- DNA injector code was cleaned up considerably
- HARS now alerts admins when you inject someone else with it like
Monkey
- `COPY_DNA_SE` is no longer mistakenly unused (meaning stuff like
transformation sting no longer copies "active mutations")
## Why It's Good For The Game
Across the course of a full round we spend the same amount of time doing
literally nothing in life as we spend on handling human breathing.
Now in the context of a full round this is 8 seconds. Which in the grand
scheme of things, not a whole lot, but if we can get a tiny performance
gain from... not doing literally nothing (especially when we can do
these things cleaner with signals) that's a win in my book
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Refactored dna injectors (both the ones that change appearance
and activate mutations), report any oddities with them like failing to
revert your appearance or mutations not applying correctly
code: Ever so slightly changed how diseases tick, report any oddities
code: Ever so slightly changed how some species mechanics tick, like
golems and slimes, report any oddities
code: The code behind printing appearance modifying dna injectors from
genetics has changed, report any oddities
code: Some backend transformation sting code changed slightly, report
any oddities
code: Zombie "idle" groaning is now tied to the tongue rather than the
species itself
admin: Force-injecting someone with HARS give an admin alert, the same
as force-injecting someone with Monkey
fix: Several methods of copying DNA (including transformation sting)
mistakenly copied "active mutations", this has been fixed

## About The Pull Request
What it says on the tin. `times_fired` is the most unused parameter in
all mob procs. I say most because there were just 2 cases where it was
used
- handling breathing
- handling heartbeat
Besides these 2 cases this parameter did nothing in every proc. Removing
it does 2 things
- Makes those procs more readable as it now has 1 less parameter that
was documented poorly and did nothing
- Makes those procs slightly faster as we are passing 1 less variable to
its parameter call stack
It can easily be substituted with `SSmobs.times_fired` which was its
original value anyways
## Changelog
🆑
code: removes an unused parameter `times_fired` from mob life procs.

## About The Pull Request
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.
## Why It's Good For The Game
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.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactored mutation code backend. Report any issue.

## About The Pull Request
I was about to start working on something, but then I've noticed
chromosomes-related code was looking quite old and had some magic
numbers in it, so I've decided to update it a little.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Better code.

## About The Pull Request
PR has been reworked a bunch! Changes in bold. Some of the **HATE** is
now outdated.
**Negative mutations now allow you to have more positive mutations, via
reducing your instability!**
**All mutations have been overall standardized via defines on their
instability values. Many mediocre positive mutations have had their cost
reduced significantly!**
```
/// Negatives that are virtually harmless and mostly just funny (language)
// Set to 0 because munchkinning via miscommunication = bad
#define NEGATIVE_STABILITY_MINI 0
/// Negatives that are slightly annoying (unused)
#define NEGATIVE_STABILITY_MINOR -20
/// Negatives that present an uncommon or weak, consistent hindrance to gameplay (cough, paranoia)
#define NEGATIVE_STABILITY_MODERATE -30
/// Negatives that present a major consistent hindrance to gameplay (deaf, mute, acid flesh)
#define NEGATIVE_STABILITY_MAJOR -40
/// Positives that provide basically no benefit (glowy)
#define POSITIVE_INSTABILITY_MINI 5
/// Positives that are niche in application or useful in rare circumstances (parlor tricks, geladikinesis, autotomy)
#define POSITIVE_INSTABILITY_MINOR 10
/// Positives that provide a new ability that's roughly par with station equipment (insulated, cryokinesis)
#define POSITIVE_INSTABILITY_MODERATE 25
/// Positives that are unique, very powerful, and noticeably change combat/gameplay (hulk, tk)
#define POSITIVE_INSTABILITY_MAJOR 35

Added a new height mutation: Acromegaly! It's the opposite of Dwarfism
and makes you uncannily tall. It also makes you hit your head 8% or 4%
(with synch) of the time you pass through airlocks. Wear a helmet!
**Injectors and activators' duration is now dependent on the
in/stability (absolute value) of the mutations to be injected! With a
minimum of 5-10-15 seconds for each type of injector. Also changed up a
bit how part upgrade cooldowns work, by making each tier reduce
cooldowns by 25-15-10% for each injector type.**
## Why It's Good For The Game
**> Negative mutations now allow you to have more positive mutations,
via reducing your instability!**
Genetics has been long in dire need of a rework. This isn't really one,
but it IS intended to increase genetics depth a bit and stave off its
stagnation, making it slightly more interesting than 'free shit', by
making it so **you can now gain more positive mutations, but you need to
figure out what you're going to take as a downgrade in turn.**
Genetic powers are heavily themed around comic book superheroes, and you
know what those had a lot? Debilitating drawbacks to their powers. Let's
replicate that.
**I intend to make a sister PR for this that adds more interesting
positive mutations (for the first time in decades) to genetics, so
there's an actual element of pick-and-choose involved**
> Added a new height mutation: Acromegaly! It's the opposite of Dwarfism

We have Super Tall. Let's add it to the game somewhere! With a fun
downside, of course.
**Gigantism is now a recipe mutation, mix Acromegaly with Strength to
get it.**

**Made no sense that a Glowy injector cost the same as a Hulk injector.
Just annoying. The cooldown is based on the absolute value, so a -30
instability injector would take ~30 seconds. This mostly so that
geneticists can't make a million modded syringe gun supersyringes**
## About The Pull Request
- Reworks transformation sting.
- Transformation sting is now temporary, lasting 8 minutes (number not
final) in humans.
- If used on a monkey, it lasts forever instead.
- While the target mob is dead or in stasis, the duration will not
progress, making it functionally infinite until revived and taken off
stasis, where it will resume its timer where it left off.
- Chemical cost reduced to 33
- DNA cost reduced to 2
- Removes TRAIT_NO_TRANSFORMATION_STING, instead just checks for
TRAIT_NO_DNA_COPY
- These were essentially the same traits, so I just combined the two
- Organizes some trait lists alphabetically
- Adds TRAIT_STASIS, to allow for reacting to mobs entering and exiting
stasis via COMSIGS
- Everything that checks IS_IN_STASIS now checks HAS_TRAIT TRAIT_STASIS,
which is probably more performant, so that's a bonus.
## Why It's Good For The Game
A lot of people don't like the current iteration of Transformation
Sting, me included
Right now it's only use is for a meme - you make the entire station into
felinids until you get lynched, and that's it.
It's not really a healthy ability for ling's current kit, so this pr
attempts to soft rework it to make it a bit more in line with how ling
should be acting - turning it into a source of short term confusion
between people, or using it on a body to cover your tracks.
This accomplish it two fold - One, it is now cheap enough to use twice
in rapid succession, allowing for quick on-the-spot "BE CONFUSED"
situations while you abscond. Two, as mentioned in the last paragraph,
you can poke a body of someone you murder to obfuscate the crime scene
and maybe help out in taking over someone's identity.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
balance: Transformation sting now lasts 8 minutes, down from permanent.
However, the effect is paused for dead and stasis mobs, making it
permanent SO LONG AS they stay dead or in stasis. The effect is also
permanent if used on a monkey.
balance: Transformation sting now costs 33 chemicals, down from 50.
balance: Transformation sting now costs 2 dna points, down from 3.
fix: Transformation sting works on monkeys again.
refactor: Refactored a bit of human randomization.

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
There were more than a few times (like in cinematic code) where we might
need to accurately know the source of what's adding this trait (or have
multiple sources for the whole 'we don't want this mob to do shit while
we transform this mob'), so in order to rectify this potential issue,
let's refactor it into a trait.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Some code already declared that there might be issues with this being a
boolean var (with no way of knowing _why_ we don't want this mob to not
transform (or not do anything idk). Let's remove those comments and any
future doubt in those instances with the trait macros. Also, stuff like
`TRAIT_IMMOBILIZED` which does a similar thing in many contexts was
already a trait that was regularly added in conjunction with flipping
the variable, so we're able to flatten all that stuff into
`add_traits()` and `remove_traits()` now. nice
I also cleaned up quite a bit of code as I saw it, let me know if it
should be split out but I guarantee that if I didn't do it- no one will
for the next two years.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: If you transform into another mob and notice bugs with
interacting with the game world, please create a bug report as this
framework was recently refactored.

This tracks the seconds per tick of a subsystem, however note that it is
not completely accurate, as subsystems can be delayed, however it's
useful to have this number as a multiplier or ratio, so that if in
future someone changes the subsystem wait time code correctly adjusts
how fast it applies effects
regexes used
git grep --files-with-matches --name-only 'DT_PROB' | xargs -l sed -i
's/DT_PROB/SPT_PROB/g'
git grep --files-with-matches --name-only 'delta_time' | xargs -l sed -i
's/delta_time/seconds_per_tick/g'
Makes the code compatible with 515.1594+
Few simple changes and one very painful one.
Let's start with the easy:
* puts call behind `LIBCALL` define, so call_ext is properly used in 515
* Adds `NAMEOF_STATIC(_,X)` macro for nameof in static definitions since
src is now invalid there.
* Fixes tgui and devserver. From 515 onward the tmp3333{procid} cache
directory is not appened to base path in browser controls so we don't
check for it in base js and put the dev server dummy window file in
actual directory not the byond root.
* Renames the few things that had /final/ in typepath to ultimate since
final is a new keyword
And the very painful change:
`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with
new nameof() function. All this wrapped in three new macros.
`PROC_REF(X)`,`TYPE_PROC_REF(TYPE,X)`,`GLOBAL_PROC_REF(X)`. Global is
not actually necessary but if we get nameof that does not allow globals
it would be nice validation.
This is pretty unwieldy but there's no real alternative.
If you notice anything weird in the commits let me know because majority
was done with regex replace.
@tgstation/commit-access Since the .proc/stuff is pretty big change.

* Fixes void magnet by improving its code
- When I refactored proc holders, I accidentally changed void magnet to do a `locate() in mob`, isntead of `locate() in mob.actions`, which broke void magnet.
- But I also took the opportunity to improve a code a bit. Instead of working on mutation `on_life()`, it instead is entirely handled by the action itself. Encapsulation, and also gets us closer to possibly removing mutation `on_life()` from life code.
* destroy proc holder pt1
- change proc_holder/spell to action/cooldown/spell
- docs all the spell vars, renames some of them
- removes some useless vars
- start with pointed spells, as they're easy
* kill proc_holder pt2
- kill a buncha vars and replace it with flags
- convert a ton over
- general code improvements
* kill proc_holders pt3
- convert a good few more spells
- rename some signals
- handle statpanel
- better docs
* kiill proc_holder pt4:
- restructure the file system of action.dm, separating a good amount of item actions and miscellaneous garbage into files where they belong slightly better. Also splits off item actions, cooldown actions, innate actions, etc. into their own files, overlal making it much better to work with
- converts touch attacks to actions
- converts blood crawl, jaunt subtype
* kills proc_holder pt5
- clears up some icon issues so all the currently converted pages don't have errors
- shapeshift
- some more action cleanup
* kills proc_holder pt5.5:
- some documentation
- reworks feedback to prevent oversight with teleports and stuff
* kills proc_holder pt6:
- converted cult spells
- converted magic missile
- converted mime spells
- chipped away at the errors
- removed some vars which were too general, replaced them with more locally applicable vars. for example "range" which could mean "projectile range" or "aoe radius" or whatever - instead of having a broad net which everyone applies to in a confusing matter, instead lets each spell delegate on their own.
- merged magic/spell and magic/aoe, as the comment intended
- more unified behavior for spell levelling
* kill proc_holders pt 6.5:
- replacing a buncha old proc_holders that have been updated to reduce some errors. sub 900 baby
* kills proc_holder pt 6.75:
- minor fixes
* kills proc_holder pt7:
- cuts down on some errors
- refactors some wiz events
* kills proc_holder pt 7.5:
- malf ranged modules
- some minor errors
* kills proc_holder pt 7.75:
- mor eminor error handling, cleaning up changes
* kill proc_holder pt8:
- refactors spell book
- refactors spell implant
- some more minor error fixing
* kill proc_holder pt 8.5:
- scan ability
* Adds some robust documentation
* kill proc_holder pt9:
- converts some / most mutations over
* kill proc_holder pt10:
- sort out all the granters
- refactor them slightly
- fix some compile errors
* Some set-unset sanity - going to need to test removing Share()
* Removes transfer actions. It doesn't seem to do anything.
- Transfer_actions was called when current = new_character so locially speaking the early return in Grant() should cause it to NOOP. Test this in the future though
* Removes sharing from actions, docs actions better
* Some better documentation for spell and spell components
* Kills proc_holder pt11:
- Finally finishes ALL THE SPELLS IN THE SPELL FOLDER
- Fixes some more errors
* kills proc_holder pt11.5:
- minor error fixing and sanity
* Method of sharing actions. Can be improved in the future, needs testing
* Implements a way to update the stat panel entry for a spell. Also gets rid of VV stuff, as you can update the bigflags directly in VV now.
* Curse of madness bug I put in.
* kills proc_holder pt12:
- sub 500 errors!
- converts cytology mobs
- converts and refactors spiders slightly
- some minor fixing around the place as usual
* kill proc_holder pt13
- Finishes heretic spells
- Sub 300 errors!
- some touch refactoring to account for mansus grasp
* kills proc_holder pt14:

- sdql spells
- no more errors!
* Bugfixes round 1
* Various bugfixing
- documentation done
- give spell works
- can cast spell gives feedback conditionally
- is available takes into account casting ability
* Some accidental reversions + fixes
* Unit tests
* Completely refactors jaunting
- All bloodcrawling is now handled on the action itself instead of across various living procs
- slaughter demons have their own blood crawls
- jaunting dummies don't have side effects on destroy() anymore
* Wizard spell logging and even more refactoring
