Leland Kemble dec8c784f6 Bitrunners can't leave domains while glitches remain in them (#96171)
## About The Pull Request

When bitrunners attempt to leave their domain via the ladder, they will
fail if there is an active, living bitrunning glitch antagonist within
the domain. Other methods of leaving such as death or taking the red
pill are unaffected.

they can also leave if the crate's delivered

sorta a sister PR to #95934

## Why It's Good For The Game

enter domain -> get alert about bitrunning glitch -> leave -> turn off
domain
What a fun gameplay loop, for everyone involved.
You'll fight the glitch and you'll like it. (liking it
[pending](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/96138))

You can still leave if you REALLY, REALLY need to at the cost of a
little brain damage, but otherwise the literal only obstacle that will
ever be in your path should be something you have to engage with.

## Changelog
🆑

balance: Bitrunners can't back out of domains via the ladder while
bitrunning glitches remain in them

Jeremiah 1116f150eb Bitrunning: Tweaks, QoL and removals (#84125)
## About The Pull Request

See changelog for shortlist

1. **Threat changes.** I was a bit unsatisfied with the rate of antag
spawns. These have been increased considerably. The clamped probability
has been increased from 1-10 to 5-15. The probability increases from 5
to 15 as domains are completed. Generally, in a standard round, the
chance of spawning at least one antag should be around ~50% at 7 domains
completed. Emagging a server doubles this rate.
2. **Map changes.** Starfront saloon was a cool idea on paper: A totally
modular map. However, it looked very uninspired and was so much of a
chore on the map loading system that it prompted players to admin help
how long it took, thinking it was broken. I've removed the map. I have
others I want to implement that don't look so bad.
3. **QoL changes**. Ghost observer experience is improved. Previously,
you could click netpods to view their avatar, and now you can click the
hololadder to return. I've included examine text to show this. The
server's examine text will now also give you clues that it's emagged
(ghost only). The examine text on hololadders has also been improved.
4. **Bitrunning antags.** These were designed as temporary, but they
were everything but. Spawning as one would prevent your revival, which
just isn't a good tradeoff for something that's going to get deleted in
a minute. Now, this system uses temp bodies just like CTF, so you can
return once you're dead. (exception: coming station side)
5. **Maps**: Syndicate assault is still one of my favorites, but there's
cheesy exploits like instantly breaking the display case to lock down
the ship, turning on turrets which are EXTRA lethal, etc. I've added
some pistols to the closets and removed some of these exploits.
6. **Cooldown**: Yes, no one seems to upgrade these ever, and it proved
a poor technique to encourage bitrunners to leave their rooms. I had
other plans to encourage this, not included here, so I think lowering
the cooldown time is beneficial. 3min -> 2min

> [!NOTE]
> File diff: removed a map

## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes #83787
General updates and QoL for bitrunning to keep it fresh. I was quite
disappointed with the scaling of threat, and most players haven't even
seen bitrunning antags except when I admin spawn them. These numbers
aren't hard set in my mind, and could be adjusted.

I generally want bitrunning easier to access and more "temporary" which
is in keeping with its design doc.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Bitrunning made more illegal: Increased the rate at which antags
spawn.
fix: "Temporary" bitrunning antagonists and spawners are made actually
temporary. You will return to your original body after death, just like
CTF.
add: Added more examine text for ghosts to bitrunning equipment.
balance: Server cooldown reduced by 1 minute at base level.
add: As an observer, you can now switch views between station and
virtual domain by clicking the hololadder and netpod respectively.
del: Removed the starfront saloon BR map.
fix: Syndicate assault map: Added pistols, reduced exploits.

Jeremiah 550ec9b1d9 Cleans up signal use in bitrunning [NO GBP] (#79426)
## About The Pull Request
Atomized #78997
Broke up duplicate signal usage - though they do the same thing, this is
convention & it makes it easier to debug
Removed custom alert subtypes in favor of just setting values directly
Removed some unnecessary vars like the console ref from the server
Since I'm just copying this over, it has added exam text for net pods,
which fixes an issue reported to me in Discord
## Why It's Good For The Game
Code improvement
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added some clarity to the range of netpods (4 tiles) in their exam
text.

## About The Pull Request
small tweaks for bitrunning

- ability disks grant a huge power spike which should let me balance
megafauna health more closely to the real thing
- added a check for bit avatars to skip dynamic midround checks
- more info for netpods mostly

## Changelog

<!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely
observed by players or admins you should add a changelog. If your change
does NOT meet this description, remove this section. Be sure to properly
mark your PRs to prevent unnecessary GBP loss. You can read up on GBP
and it's effects on PRs in the tgstation guides for contributors. Please
note that maintainers freely reserve the right to remove and add tags
should they deem it appropriate. You can attempt to finagle the system
all you want, but it's best to shoot for clear communication right off
the bat. -->

🆑
add: Netpods and quantum servers now have more examination info
fix: You no longer lose antag status if you receive it in the vdom.
fix: Beach bar shouldn't have visible atmos piping anymore.
fix: Adds more lighting to the vaporwave vdom level.
balance: Buffed vdom megafauna health to compensate for new ability
disks.

Jeremiah 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
jlsnow301, kinneb, mmmiracles, ical92, spockye

add: Some flair for the new bitrunning vendor.
