## About The Pull Request
Continuation of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78857
FOR TOOO LONG WE HAVE SUFF-
Ok yeah so like, we made them overlays to save on maptick, but with
threaded maptick that is potentially not an issue anymore.
I'm opening this pr so I can tm it and see. If it works, it'll save
about 50% of lighting object update costs, which is pretty damn good.
I'm also removing the fullbright light icon state, since it is barely
ever used (it was added as a clientside op, but we don't hit fullbright
very much at all so it does nothing but eat my cpu time)
Also also changing how SSlighting does its resolution. Rather then
waiting for all sources to process, then working on corners and objects,
instead we will do all the sources we had at the start, then all the
sources after, and so on.
The goal is to avoid churn causing the system to constantly choke. it is
better to potentially double operate then it is for things to feel
horrifically slow.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Faster. Also you won't be able to see lights through walls anymore, so
mesons will be less dumb. Can maybe bump their nightvision a bit idk
we'll see.
## Current Issues

## About The Pull Request
[Implements a setter for starlight
variables](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/af34f06b418b039b2ead90b29112b30adea4bc68)
I want to start to modify starlight more, and that means I need a way to
hook into everything that uses it and update it, so we can modify it on
the fly.
This does that, alongside removing space overlays from nearspace (too
many false positives) and making the aurora modify all turfs projecting
starlight, rather then all turfs in an area.
Do still need to figure out handling for the starlight color usage in
turf underlays tho (I gave up, we just keep it static. I'll fix it
someday but the render_relay strategy just doesn't work with its masking
setup)
[Reworks how starlight overlays
work](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/9da4bc38e223e0ce2d91b0c8beddf1ebba968b9c)
Instead of setting color on the overlays directly, we instead store an
object with our current settings in every mob's screen, and
render_target it down onto our overlays.
This lets us update overlay colors VERY trivially. Just need to set
color on the overlay var. Makes modifying starlight a lot cheaper.
It doesn't work on area overlays, because suffering, and it MIGHT induce
extra cost on clients. if it does we can do something about that, we'll
play it by ear
[Removes parallax starlight
coloring.](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/5f701a1b137c7d4c333929e4cbfdd9d4aa8656d6)
I'm sorta iffy on the color, the effect can be real oppressive in some
cases, and I'd like to use starlight color for more events in world, and
having it vary can make that looking nice hard.
[Adds some visual effects to narsie being
summoned](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78877/commits/a423cfcb2ba9c0d729b06c36dd7d38ff68c967c2)
As the rune drawing progresses space (starlight and parallax) go from
normal to greyscale. Then, right about when narsie shows up, starlight
becomes vibrant red.
It's a nice effect. I wanna do more shit like this, I think it'll
improve vibes significantly.

for the aurora too.
This gives us more pretty starlight shit, and the ABILITY to do more
pretty starlight shit. I'm pretty jazzed, and I hope people use this
proc more (keeping in mind that it's pretty hard on the lighting system,
and needs significant delay between changes)
## Changelog
🆑
add: Narsie summoning has had some effects added to space and starlight
del: Removes the link between spacegas color and starlight. It was a
slight bit too vibrant and I think impacted the vibe too wildly to be
incidental.
fix: The aurora event actually... works now. Space lights up and all
that

## About The Pull Request
Hello friends, I've been on a bit of a lighting kick recently, and I
decided I clearly do not have enough things to work on as it is.
This pr adds angle support to static lights, and a concepting/debug tool
for playing with lights on a map.
Let's start from first principles yeah?
### Why Angled Lights?
Mappers, since they can't actually see a light's effect in editor, tend
to go off gut.
That gut is based more off what "makes sense" then how things actually
work
This means they'll overplace light sources, and also they tend to treat
lights, particularly light "bars" (the bigger ones) as directional.
So you'll have two lights on either sides of a pillar, lights inside a
room with lights outside pointing out, etc.
This has annoying side effects. A lot of our map is overlit, to the
point that knocking out a light does.... pretty much nothing.
I find this sad, and would like to work to prevent it. I think dark and
dim, while it does not suit the normal game, is amazing for vibes, and I
want it to be easier to see that.
Angled lights bring how lights work more in line with how mappers expect
lights work, and avoids bleedover into rooms that shouldn't be bled
into, working towards that goal of mine.
### How Angled Lights?
This is more complex then you'd first think so we'll go step by step
Oh before we start, some catchup from the last time I touched lighting
code.
Instead of doing a lighting falloff calculation for each lighting corner
(a block that represents the resolution of our lights) in view we
instead generate cached lightsheets. These precalculate and store all
possible falloffs for x and y distances from a source.
This is very useful for angle work, since it makes it almost totally
free.
Atoms get 2 new values. light_angle and light_dir
Light angle is the angle the light uses, and light_dir is a cardinal
direction it displays in
We take these values, and inside sheetbuilding do some optional angle
work. getting the center angle, the angle of a pair of coords, and then
the delta between them.
This is then multiplied against the standard falloff formula, and job
done.
We do need some extra fenangling to make this all work nicely tho.
We currently use a pixel turf var stored on the light source to do
distance calculations.
This is the turf we pretend the light source is on for visuals, most
often used to make wall lights work nice.
The trouble is it's not very granular, and doesn't always have the
effect you might want.
So, instead of generating and storing a pixel turf to do our distance
calculations against, we store x and y offset variables.
We use them to expand our working range and sheet size to ensure things
visually make sense, and then offset any positions by them.
I've added a way for sources to have opinions on their offsets too, and
am using them for wall lights.
This ensures the angle calculations don't make the wall behind a light
fulldark, which would be silly.
### Debug Tool?
In the interest of helping with that core problem, lights being complex
to display, I've added a prototyping tool to the game.
It's locked behind mapping verbs, and works about like this.
Once the verb is activated, it iterates over all the sources in the
world (except turfs because those are kinda silly), outlining and
"freezing" them, preventing any future changes.
Then, it adds 3 buttons to the owners of a light source.
The first button toggles the light on and off, as desired.
The third allows you to move the source around, with a little targeting
icon replacing your mouse
The second tho, that's more interesting.
The second button opens a debug menu for that light
There's a lot here, let's go through it.
Bit on the left is a list of templates, which allow you to sample
existing light types (No I have no idea why the background is fullwhite,
need to work on that pre merge)
You can choose one by clicking it, and hitting the upload button.
This replaces your existing lighting values with the template's,
alongside replacing its icon and icon state so it looks right.
There are three types as of now, mostly for categorization. Bar, which
are the larger typically stronger lights, Bulb, which are well, bulbs,
and Misc which could be expanded, but currently just contains floor
lights.
Alongside that you can manually edit the power, range, color and angle
of the focused light.
I also have support for changing the direction of the light source,
since anything that uses directional lighting would also tie light dir
to it.
This isn't *always* done tho, so I should maybe find a way to edit light
dir too.
My hope is this tool will allow for better concepting of a room's
lights, and easier changing of individual object's light values to suit
the right visuals.
### Lemon No Why What
Ok so I applied angle lights to bars and bulbs, which means I am
changing the lighting of pretty much every map in the codebase.
I'm gonna uh, go check my work.
Alongside this I intend to give lighting some depth. So if there's room
to make a space warmer, or highlight light colors from other sources, I
will do that.
(Images as examples)
I also want to work on that other goal of mine, making breaking lights
matter. So I'll be doing what I can to ensure you only need to break one
light to make a meaningful change in the scene.
This is semi complicated by one light source not ever actually reaching
fullbright on its own, but we do what we must because we can.
I'm as I hope you know biased towards darker spaces, I think contrast
has vibes.
In particular I do not think strong lights really suit maintenance.
Most of what is used there are bulbs, so I'm planning on replacing most
uses with low power bulbs, to keep light impacts to rooms, alongside
reducing the amount of lights placed in the main tunnels
**If you take issue with this methodology please do so NOW**, I don't
want to have to do another pass over things.
Oh also I'm saving station maps for last since ruins are less likely to
get touched in mapping march and all.
### Misc + Finishing Thoughts
Light templates support mirroring vars off typepaths using a subtype,
which means all the templates added here do not require updating if the
source type changes somehow. I'd like to expand the template list at
some point, perhaps in future.
I've opened this as a draft to make my intentions to make my changes to
lights known, and to serve as motivation for all the map changes I need
to do.
### Farish Future
I'm unhappy with how we currently configure lights. I would like a
system that more directly matches the idea of drawing falloff curves,
along with allowing for different falloffs for different colors,
alongside extending the idea to angle falloff.
This would make out of engine lighting easier, allow for nicer looking
lights (red to pink, blue to purple, etc), and improve accessibility by
artists.
This is slightly far off, because I have other obligations and it's
kinda complicated, but I'd like to mention it cause it's one of my many
pipedreams.
## Changelog

add: Added angle lighting, applies it to most wall lights!

locked behind the mapping verb)

## About The Pull Request
We've got a few space related things that are busted, and shuttle
movement is slow.
I'd like to try to improve these things, if just a bit.
Long list of only tenuously related topics. Sorry for the shotgun blast
#### [Fixes lazyloaded stuff having bad
space](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/d4de176a63f87d0f820e0cb610cd192750c897d6)
We need to handle area transferring in maploading code under niche
cases, and we also need to actually init reservation spaces we create.
It's also redundant and potentially dupe creating to do area lighting
handling in changeturf, because it gets touched in turf init anyway. Old
me is stupid.
#### [Adds some doc comments, yeets
ssmappping/transit](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/269717145d70a4a73198791ca50253c708ee3ac1)
We had a reserved space for just shuttles to use, except it wasn't for
just shuttles.
So in theory if the space got clogged with other shit, the shuttles
could have nowhere to actually use.
It's better to just have the two groups share real estate. More sane
### The "Starlight is Slow" Block
#### [Starlight optimization part one (don't check config for each
individual turf you check for
activity)](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/7312a314bef281c1b85a377cf2dcb647a2045050)
#### [Starlight optimization part two (infer
context)](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/be94c422ed76aa3f07b43cad4d1dc6b6148f135f)
Starlight was causing each space turf to cause itself and its neighbor
to constantly recheck if they had starlight off changeturf.
The exact same effect can be had by taking advantage of some
pre-existing information, namely if the space turf is gaining or losing
a source of starlight.
Essentially, instead of telling a turf to check all adjacent turfs to
see if it's got starlight, we tell the turf if WE are a source of
starlight, or if we might be taking something away from it.
There's a bit of wasted cpu here but not much, if it's worth doing a
register signal pattern for clearing depends on the case we're working
with.
Being intelligent about this makes things much faster, something in the
neighborhood of 4 to 3 fold.
I've also made openspace's starlight work better, cause the old pattern
was a bit silly.
### Changeturf is Annoying (Microops)
#### [Micro ops changeturf and turf deletion a
bit](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/386b3ab7fc2a820a9ffe3d2e39d78f96dc562d64)
Don't do work if the thing you're working on doesn't exist, don't check
every adjacent turf for firelocks on turf change (just have thefirelocks
manage that), don't check all atoms on the turf for decals on turf
change, similar.
Also moves visibility changes from camera code into changeturf, to avoid
unneeded work.
Needs some extra work to optimize the guts for this path but I can do
that!
#### [Micros camera vis
changes](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/ebab69e9ea4adffd8787671f309f4ba27756c82e)
We should only update vis when our opacity changes.
In addition, we don't need all the camera handling fluff if we only want
to update our turf's static groups.
Also micros a camera net helper to be less crap for non multiz maps
#### [Micros some open space atmos cases, alongside avoiding a for(null)
in opacity
handling](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/72ae07ba1db1fb1c4434a4cdaecc78ea6a2864fc)
#### [Ensures space_lit tiles never accidentially inherit lighting
objects](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/a99ff2265a4d1b157849fb7485adee17a3250df5)
S dumb, and leads to space turfs having two sources of lighting, which
looks wrong.
This was invisible when their lighting was fullbright, but it sucks now.
### Misc Stuff
#### [Cleans up stat tracking a bit to avoid
collisions](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/40fb8f21e20d5bd9ef2f989eb166e03b30d66b3d)
#### [Cleans up a turf helper to not be
stupid](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/bf4ee6710026e6ca9922d0f1fa49020ebde8cd6f)
WHY ARE YOU USING THE RANGED TURF HELPER IF YOU GO ONE TILE
#### [Moves transit turf signal cleanup to destroy, I named this proc
wrong](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/c85c2cfc86f3b2dd224cae6b12e2fc428846c30b)
I'm sorry @Time-Green
#### [Adds better transit caching to
shuttles](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/35e85334c4f815da0cadd8172e9908267a01d334)
Adds a max reserved transit size to the shuttle subsystem, to keep
things in bounds.
In addition, adds a soft cap under which existing transit space will get
hold onto, to make repeated non escape/arrive shuttle movements faster
Hopefully this makes common shuttle moves less bad.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Speed
About The Pull Request
I've reworked multiz. This was done because our current implementation of multiz flattens planes down into just the openspace plane. This breaks any effects we attach to plane masters (including lighting), but it also totally kills the SIDE_MAP map format, which we NEED for wallening (A major 3/4ths resprite of all wall and wall adjacent things, making them more then one tile high. Without sidemap we would be unable to display things both in from of and behind objects on map. Stupid.)
This required MASSIVE changes. Both to all uses of the plane var for reasons I'll discuss later, and to a ton of different systems that interact with rendering.
I'll do my best to keep this compact, but there's only so much I can do. Sorry brother.
Core idea
OK: first thing.
vis_contents as it works now squishes the planes of everything inside it down into the plane of the vis_loc.
This is bad. But how to do better?
It's trivially easy to make copies of our existing plane masters but offset, and relay them to the bottom of the plane above. Not a problem. The issue is how to get the actual atoms on the map to "land" on them properly.
We could use FLOAT_PLANE to offset planes based off how they're being seen, in theory this would allow us to create lens for how objects are viewed.
But that's not a stable thing to do, because properly "landing" a plane on a desired plane master would require taking into account every bit of how it's being seen, would inherently break this effect.
Ok so we need to manually edit planes based off "z layer" (IE: what layer of a z stack are you on).
That's the key conceit of this pr. Implementing the plane cube, and ensuring planes are always offset properly.
Everything else is just gravy.
About the Plane Cube
Each plane master (except ones that opt out) is copied down by some constant value equal to the max absolute change between the first and the last plane.
We do this based off the max z stack size detected by SSmapping. This is also where updates come from, and where all our updating logic will live.
As mentioned, plane masters can choose to opt out of being mirrored down. In this case, anything that interacts with them assuming that they'll be offset will instead just get back the valid plane value. This works for render targets too, since I had to work them into the system as well.
Plane masters can also be temporarily hidden from the client's screen. This is done as an attempt at optimization, and applies to anything used in niche cases, or planes only used if there's a z layer below you.
About Plane Master Groups
BYOND supports having different "maps" on screen at once (IE: groups of items/turfs/etc)
Plane masters cannot cover 2 maps at once, since their location is determined by their screen_loc.
So we need to maintain a mirror of each plane for every map we have open.
This was quite messy, so I've refactored it (and maps too) to be a bit more modular.
Rather then storing a list of plane masters, we store a list of plane master group datums.
Each datum is in charge of the plane masters for its particular map, both creating them, and managing them.
Like I mentioned, I also refactored map views. Adding a new mapview is now as simple as newing a /atom/movable/screen/map_view, calling generate_view with the appropriate map id, setting things you want to display in its vis_contents, and then calling display_to on it, passing in the mob to show ourselves to.
Much better then the hardcoded pattern we used to use. So much duplicated code man.
Oh and plane master controllers, that system we have that allows for applying filters to sets of plane masters? I've made it use lookups on plane master groups now, rather then hanging references to all impacted planes. This makes logic easier, and prevents the need to manage references and update the controllers.
image
In addition, I've added a debug ui for plane masters.
It allows you to view all of your own plane masters and short descriptions of what they do, alongside tools for editing them and their relays.
It ALSO supports editing someone elses plane masters, AND it supports (in a very fragile and incomplete manner) viewing literally through someone else's eyes, including their plane masters. This is very useful, because it means you can debug "hey my X is yorked" issues yourself, on live.
In order to accomplish this I have needed to add setters for an ungodly amount of visual impacting vars. Sight flags, eye, see_invis, see_in_dark, etc.
It also comes with an info dump about the ui, and plane masters/relays in general.
Sort of on that note. I've documented everything I know that's niche/useful about our visual effects and rendering system. My hope is this will serve to bring people up to speed on what can be done more quickly, alongside making my sin here less horrible.
See https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/tgstation/blob/multiz-hell/.github/guides/VISUALS.md.
"Landing" planes
Ok so I've explained the backend, but how do we actually land planes properly?
Most of the time this is really simple. When a plane var is set, we need to provide some spokesperson for the appearance's z level. We can use this to derive their z layer, and thus what offset to use.
This is just a lot of gruntwork, but it's occasionally more complex.
Sometimes we need to cache a list of z layer -> effect, and then use that.
Also a LOT of updating on z move. So much z move shit.
Oh. and in order to make byond darkness work properly, I needed to add SEE_BLACKNESS to all sight flags.
This draws darkness to plane 0, which means I'm able to relay it around and draw it on different z layers as is possible. fun darkness ripple effects incoming someday
I also need to update mob overlays on move.
I do this by realiizing their appearances, mutating their plane, and then readding the overlay in the correct order.
The cost of this is currently 3N. I'm convinced this could be improved, but I've not got to it yet.
It can also occasionally cause overlays to corrupt. This is fixed by laying a protective ward of overlays.Copy in the sand, but that spell makes the compiler confused, so I'll have to bully lummy about fixing it at some point.
Behavior changes
We've had to give up on the already broken gateway "see through" effect. Won't work without managing gateway plane masters or something stupid. Not worth it.
So instead we display the other side as a ui element. It's worse, but not that bad.
Because vis_contents no longer flattens planes (most of the time), some uses of it now have interesting behavior.
The main thing that comes to mind is alert popups that display mobs. They can impact the lighting plane.
I don't really care, but it should be fixable, I think, given elbow grease.
Ah and I've cleaned up layers and plane defines to make them a bit easier to read/reason about, at least I think.

About The Pull Request
Micros lighting objects, and their creation
We save a good bit of time by not walking space turfs adjacent to new objects.
We also save some time with micros in the actual underlay update logic.
I swear dude we spend like 0.8 seconds of init applying the underlay. I want threaded maptick already
Micros lighting sources, and corner creation
A: Corners were being passed just A turf, and then expected to generatecorners based on that. This is pointless.
It is better to instead pass in the coords of the bottom left turf, and then build in a circle. This saves like 0.3 seconds
B: We use so many damn datum vars in corner application that we just do not need to.
This resolves that, since it pissed me off. It's pointless. Lets cache em instead
There's some misc datum var caching going on here too. Lemme see...
Oh and a bit of shortcutting for a for loop, since it was a tad expensive on its own.
Also I removed the turfs list, because it does fucking nothing. Why is this still here.
All my little optimizations save about 1 second of init I think
Not great, but not bad, and plus actual lighting work is faster now too
Why It's Good For The Game
Speed
We were spending 1.4 seconds on doing an add_overlay on EVERY turf in
/area/space
There's no fukin reason to do this, you CAN JUST ADD OVERLAYS TO AREAS
IT WAS POINTLESS. I HATE IT HERE
credit to zewaka for the idea of using underlays
turns the lighting object movables that were unnecessary and increased maptick into a datum which then applies and removes an underlay in update(). also applies a lot of general lighting clean ups (mostly using as anything in loops and fixing single letter var names).
multiz is a little different by necessity, now only the bottom turf's lighting matters in the brightness of the top turf unlike master where the bottom turf's lighting object is hidden from the vis_contents of the top turf. there are still some kinks to iron out here though, since currently objects suspended in openspace (like tram platforms) look bad and glass floors look bad too
only thing i have left to do is make multiz work (well)
UPDATE: multiz now appears the same as far as i can tell, its possible there are other situations in which its different but datum mats work and it automatically updates if the turf below changes. now i just need to make the system less finnicky if at all possible (and possibly merge managed_turf_vis_content with managed_overlays maybe?)
new update: its basically equivalent to normal multiz as far as i can tell (visually at least, in the circumstances ive tested so far)
NEW NEW UPDATE: turfs no longer have the VIS_HIDE vis_flag and multiz works without stacking the lighting from the floor below! so this shouldnt have any overt drawbacks to master anymore
1 needless movable per tile is terrible for maptick. this is probably a larger improvement than my emissive blocker change in terms of maptick. im guessing we'd get around 0.6 average maptick per player after this where currently we get 0.85 or so
Edit: according to lemon, sybil reached 0.71 maptick per person when tm'd with this
if this is a big enough improvement i might finally be able to get rid of the Gone discord avatar
Removed a bunch of back reference lists that were either entirely unused, or contained references that could be found within the datums contained in other lists.
lighting corner datums now get deleted with unused.
light sources no longer track lighting corners where the appiled light rounds to 0.
Fix lighting on turfs that gained dynamic lighting mid round. lazy init corner datums.
these two are related. by decoupling corner datums from the turfs dynamic lighting state, we can use them to know what level of light a non-dynamic light turf should have once it gains dynamic light.
Also should free up some memory not storing these datums in maint. Corner datums only exist on a turf that has light cast upon it by the dynamic lighting system.
Lighting corners are now lazy inited and deleted. they should always (and only exist) if there is a light source shining on it within range (even if the turf has no dynamic lighting). This is needed to support turfs that become lighting enabled mid round. On the plus side, they will no longer be generated on full dark turfs.
Sparks no longer lag, projectile beams move super smoothly, same with mobs and whatnot. This also allows for easy expansion into directional lights, field-of-view, wee-woo rotating lights or whatever.
It does have a downside: things right-clicked or checked through the alt+click tab will show the light overlay:
This is a BYOND limitation, very well worth it IMO.

Some variables moved to the object's definition.
A define or two added into the mix for clarity.

Just moving /turf/proc/get_corners() into its only caller, slightly shuffled.
Also #defining /proc/GetRedPart() etc, which should flatten down to a copytext+text2num operation with #51005. Also defining parse_light_color() since it has two callers and does something trivial (splits #ff0000 into three luminance vars).

code: Lighting corner updates are ever so slightly faster.
/cl
A complete rewrite of the dock proc for shuttles to make it more maintainable and readable and also bring over some new features while we're at it. This allows for multi-area shuttles and more control over the effects of anything being moved.
Areas, and movable atoms all have (before|on|after)ShuttleMove procs, turfs have (from|to)ShuttleMove procs which are called the same as beforeShuttleMove.
All ShuttleMove procs have been moved to a single file in the shuttle module.
Stationary docks will have their baseturf_type and area_type modified in maps once the problems have been worked out.
Rather then remove the light from all tiles, then re-add the light to all tiles, we just go thru each tile and diff the light level from the last value we added to it. (since this is tracked)
This cut the proc calls for updating lights in half.
Lighting objects now default to full brite rather then full dark so shuttles aren't as immersion breaking when they transit.
Made lighting more agressive about clearing empty lists.
