## About The Pull Request
Moves eyes to there own folder and makes it so they state there icon
folder rather then it being hard coded
## Why It's Good For The Game
It felt weird that these are lumped into a file that's mostly hair and
that its hard-coded like this. This makes it easier to sort out icons.

## About The Pull Request
1. Stairs are now on the floor plane, meaning they don't have AO and
blend in with turfs
2. Stairs now blend with adjacent stairs, forming a contiguous sprite
3. There is now a visual indicator that stairs will take you up in the
form of an arrow - The arrow appears when within three tiles and only
appears if the stairs can actually take you up.

## Why It's Good For The Game
1. The common method of making stairs (stair objects on stair turfs)
looks ugly due to AO
2. Stair turfs have these sprites but not the objects themselves
3. Given stairs now blend in better, I figured there should be a proper
indicator that stairs exist. Helps with fake stair confusion
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
this converts the dependency on byondstorage, which is laggy (due to
being a large json file written to disk every 10 seconds), to using
indexeddb, like we did prior to 516. this is achieved by using an iframe
to give us a persistent origin, as the web is evil and has invented
same-origin policy
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Security/Same-origin_policy.
this also hosts the iframe page on the github pages site for a secondary
repository (see tgstation/byond-client-storage) so it works OOTB without
requiring server operators to setup the webroot cdn (which i don't
believe is configured on the tg servers at the moment)
however, if a server is using the webroot cdn, it will use that instead
of github pages
you could also host the iframe.html page on a separate host from your
cdn or github pages if you wanted to
if we can't access the configured cdn at all, it failovers to use
byondstorage anyway, if the internet stops working and you still want
your chat history to save, i guess
## Why It's Good For The Game

1670 broke the compilation step, probably permanently
Whether we will fix this or flip a pragma or w/e remains to be seen, but
until then we can tell people to compile an earlier version
1670 also broke the user experience, causing map text to show up as
really big. This will be fixed in an upcoming version

## About The Pull Request
Rather than having 100 separate list variables on `SSaccessories`, have
1 list for all feature keys that are associated with sprite accessories
This way you can get a feature by doing
`SSaccessories.feature_list[key]`, instead of necessitating
`SSaccessories.ears_list`, `SSaccessories.tail_list`, etc.
This lets us cut back on a lot of boilerplate in prefs, dna, and organs
## Why It's Good For The Game
We can see the benefit in this example: This is all the code for horn
DNA, bodypart overlay, and preference
```dm
/datum/dna_block/feature/accessory/horn

```dm

## 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:
https://hackmd.io/@BiST8PJVRjiwVPY86U3bLQ/B11HyChz1g.
Code by Me, @Xander3359 and @Arturlang
TGUI by @Arturlang
Sprites by OrcaCora and GregorDM
Writing bits by @necromanceranne
### 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
<img width="750" height="635" alt="moon path ui"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/184ef783-5c9c-48a1-a2f7-4807ca93e990"
/>
### Knowledge shop
<img width="787" height="669" alt="Knowledge shop"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/3dc89b84-8c70-4d47-b612-54396e3ea6e7"
/>
### 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
Just a simple find + replace PR. All the other tail defines match their

which is inconsistent.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency, + a lot of downstreams have a generic "tail" feature key
which is distinct from cat tails, so not taking up that define is
better.

small warning: I dont have EVERY abstract type defined right now but,
ive done a good enough job for now. Im tired of data entry rn
## Why It's Good For The Game
standardizing behavior. Might be a micro hit to performance however
having this lets us not rely on icon state to determine whether
something is a parent type and makes it much easier to tell something is
a parent type (could be applied further to things like admin spawning
menus and things like that).
need feedback on if this is actually good for the game.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Soda cans show up in the silver slime drink table.
add: Examine tag for items that are not mean to show up ingame.
refactor: Standardizes how gifts rule out abstract types.
fix: gifts no longer check if something has an inhand, massively
expanding the list of potential items.

## About The Pull Request
Tin.
Runtiming in this spot is really not good and may have potentially
caused a crash for one of our rounds.
Not sure how it happened exactly, but it costs nothing to be safe here.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Let clients finish their destruction
## Changelog
Not player-facing
## About The Pull Request
A verb is now available on localhost called `"Export Save as Dev
Preferences"`
This exports your current savefile to `/config/dev_preferences.json`
If you then connect to your localhost as a guest, it will load
`dev_preferences.json` as your preference datum
This allows for devs testing the game locally to load preferences for
guests.
(Guests connecting to live servers are completely unaffected.)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Initially I only did this because the recent keybinding changes have
destroyed my muscle memory when testing w/o logging in.
But as I worked on it I thought of a few other usecases, like when
implementing preference version migration - the dev preference is never
saved which means you can re-compile as much as you want without needing
to revert your save manually.
## About The Pull Request
This PR makes species in the species menu sort themselves by how much
lore is present for them, and also sorts template species to the bottom
of the species list.
This should help ensure that players see finished species to get their
brains whirling first. As more species have lore written for them, this
list is likely to change, and we will probably rewrite species with
excessive lore in order to simplify them.
Unathi are renamed to Lizardperson (generic) and moved to a template
species.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The species we've finished so far come first in the species menu,
without removing any species from the game

## Changelog
🆑 ReturnToZender
add: The species menu now sorts itself based on the length of provided
lore. Species with lore come first.
del: Unathi have been renamed to Lizardperson (Generic). They don't have
lore, and lack a lot of the engaging mechanics that Lizardpeople have,
so we've reflavored them as a template species.

Moves all the dna block handling onto singleton datums initialized
inside global lists, to make the handling dna less of a copy-paste mess
and make adding new blocks significantly easier. There is still some
work to be done in the copypaste department but ultimately that falls
under its own PR scope after the core refactor goes through. (Ill
probably do those but it will also be easier for everyone else as the
code is now significantly less of an eyesore)
Both features and identities have been tested through and through, and
seem to be working fine.
Also removed the reliance on weird hardcoded lookup tables for length,
and other similar things that just didn't make sense when I was passing
through DNA code. There's a lot more that fall out of scope for this
exact PR's goal however
I've been told the maintainers will love me for doing this
🆑
code: feature keys are no longer magical strings floating around the
codebase and use proper defines

Extends the max range for integer scaling up to 9x, corrects some
misinfo in the visuals guide
## Why It's Good For The Game
This allows proper integer scaling up to 8k resolution, which not only
is generally the highest consumer-available resolution currently, but
also the next resolution that is able to perfectly display a 480p image
on it via integer scaling.
Also corrects misinfo because misinfo is bad.

Savefile versioning is quite robust, but it relied a lot on comments to
explain why exactly it worked (such as needing to explain that
error/empty states were negative integers only because any valid
savefile version would be a positive integer). Anyways, let's spell it
out a lot more using `#define` values and dmdoccing said values in order
to make the whole system a bit more cohesive.
This also corrects an issue that has irked me for a while, which is that
we call and go through `update_preferences()` or `update_character()`
_every single time_. `SAVEFILE_VERSION_MAX` is essentially just a
placeholder, it's not checked against anything! Let's use that in one of
the new macros we created so we can slim down on the proc call overhead
(as well as whole branches of code) that we iterate through every single
time we load a savefile. Like we were generating a backup json every
single run without fail, let's trim that out when it's not necessary.
More clear for people operating on this code in the future as well as
does a lot less work. Win win.
Tested it and it migrated my savefile from 48 -> 49 without any ill
effect. Let me know if we want to have the redundancy behavior baked in
where we call these procs/enter code branches every single time though-
I would rather just bake the code in that way rather than live in a
world of confusion on why it operates that way.
🆑
server: Savefile migration has been tweaked a bit, though there
realistically shouldn't be any issues with this. Keep a wary eye out
though.

## About The Pull Request
Ok there's a lot here, sorry bout that.
- Cleaned up the permissions panel backend pretty signficantly
- Added some extra security measures to said code, mostly proc call
checks
- Properly implemented filtering code jordie wrote years and years ago
for permissions logs
- Cleaned up the permissions ui generally, more bars, nicer lookin
stuff, etc
- Fixed the Management panel's relationship with combined roles, and
renamed it to Housekeeping. Its display is expanded too.
- Added tracking to rank datums on where exactly they came from
- Added a new tab to the permissions panel which allows the modification
and deletion of ranks
- Beefed up rank modification to try and avoid accidential temp rank
additions to the db
I'm doing my best to avoid perms escalation issues, tho they are always
possible right.
Also, got mad at some query cleanup handling, did a pass on it. this
isn't nearly all of em, but it's some.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I realized there is no way to, in game, cleanly edit/create ranks, and
that the way the existing system worked was quite opaque.
I'm trying to fix that here. It does mean potentially opening up DB rank
deletion/modification to bad actors, but frankly I am not overly worried
about that. Admin modification has always been a vulnerability so like.
Here's a video with my changes (mostly, it's lightly outdated)
https://file.house/XqME7KWKk0ULj4ZUkJ5reg==.mp4
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Fucked with admin rank setup very slightly, please yell at me
if anything is wrong.
admin: Updated the permissions panel to be a good bit more user
friendly, added rank management support to it.
server: I've added code that gives the game modification/deletion perms
for the rank table, be made aware.
