57624ca1e2 Rebalances wound determination values, wounding escalation and wound armor to hopefully be less explosive (#91099)
## About The Pull Request

This is a big one so please bear with me, wounds are complicated

### Max Potential Wound Rolls

We've decreased the max contributed damage to wound rolls from 35 to 25.
This results, after the exponent, a max possible wound roll of 1 to 91
before any modifiers (assuming the attack, after armor, is 25 or above).

The minimum value to wound is still 5.

### Wound Escalation Penalties

Most wounds were contributing significant numbers per wound type to the
potential for a new wound to occur. Getting wounded once meant you were
getting wound a lot, but actually getting past that first wounding may
be the tricky part.

We have significantly reigned in the wound penalty that having a wound
contributes, and instead utilize the series wound penalty to allow same
type wounds to escalate themselves faster as a priority. Having wounds
still makes you more wound vulnerable, just not to such an extreme
degree.

The priority here for what wounds matter most for contributing to
overall wounding vulnerability is ``Infected BURNS > BURNS >
SLASH|PIERCE > BLUNT.``

### Wound Armor

Wound armor, unlike all other kinds of armor, was used as a additive
value to the wound roll modifiers rather than a multiplicative value.

We have reworked how wound armor is determined by changing how wound
modifiers are calculated.

Firstly, we're passing our entire injury roll into the
``check_woundings_mod()`` proc, as we're not treating this as a proc
that just adds values anymore.

Secondly, bare wound bonus only applies if there is no potential wound
protection from any source, as expected. But it comes last in the
calculations.

Thirdly, wound protection is applied to the injury roll last, after
wound bonuses from the attack, wound bonuses from other wounds and wound
bonuses from a disabled limb are applied. This does not include serial
wound bonuses, which are determined outside of this proc.

Wound protection comes from two sources. Clothing and limb wound
resistance. Your chest and head have an amount of wound resistance so
long as they are not mangled in any fashion. Being mangled means having
either a hairline fracture or a weeping avulsion wound.

Wound protection reduces the final injury roll by a percentage. Say our
roll is 50, and we have effectively 50% wound protection. The final roll
would be 25.

### ~~Wound Armor on Clothing~~ Reverted

~~Most clothing have had their wound armor values changed. As a loose
rule, I used the highest of melee or bomb armor, except where that value
was 100, in which case I used the lowest instead. I'm basing this
decision on how embeds are calculated, which is attack type agnostic.~~

~~Some armor have inconsistent values because they are alternative
armors to an existing armor type or are hyperspecialized armor.
Ablative, bulletproof and security vests all share a value of 35,
despite the former two not having decent melee or bomb armor.~~

~~Some clothing missing wound armor that should have had them now have
wound armor.~~

~~This may need a bit of scrutiny in case one or two seem weirdly high.
Some have maybe become too low. Its a bit hard to say.~~

### The ``bare_wound_bonus`` variable

I changed it to ``exposed_wound_bonus`` to better represent when it
applies. You can be naked and still not be affected by this bonus if the
limb has wound resistance.

## Why It's Good For The Game

I'm not promising anything with this PR, but this is an attempt to
sanity check the values on wounds so that we're not seeing what the data
that determined the removal of beheading presented. An extreme
over-representation of tier 3 wounds. ~~And, from that, maybe I can
argue for beheadings coming back. That's my goal. I think beheadings
happened so much because the numbers were in need of work.~~ Well okay I
just wanna make wounds a bit more workable actually more than I want
beheadings.

Why is it that tier 3 wounds were so over-represented? Because wounds
will often force more severe wounds of other types by merit of any
wounds existing at all on a limb. Having **_a_** wound makes you more
wound prone for any kind of wound, and not just making you more likely
to suffer a more severe type of the same wound.

The threshold mechanic was intended to simulate making a wound worse,
but oddly just made a limb broadly more prone to getting worse from any
kind of attack to such a degree that future wound rolls of different
types were often going to start at the threshold necessary to be a tier
3 wound.

Dismemberment, mind you, requires you to suffer a flesh wound while you
have a bone wound of tier 2 or higher (with tier 3 giving a bonus to
this). You can do this readily via just a sharp weapon, because having a
mangled limb causes the wound to turn into a bone wound. Technically,
this is meant to be less likely as the effective damage for this wound
is halved. But the wound bonus from having a flesh wound was almost
always significant enough to kick your new bone wound up to a tier 3.

In other words; its not surprising that you saw so many beheadings,
because the system wanted to behead you as fast as it possibly can
thanks to all these escalating values.

Wound armor was only applied as a flat reduction on the roll. The
average for wound armor was 10. After receiving a single wound, you can
expect wound rolls to reach upwards of 100, even if the actual damage
roll was not particularly high, due to wound stacking bonuses form being
wounded.

This meant that wounds, if they happened, came thick and fast after the
first, regardless of what your protection might be to wounds. It was
just a matter of getting past the initial bump.

This is why effects that forced wounds were so powerful. They basically
made a given limb more prone to taking a wound without having to deal
with the protection problem first.

Finally, this is just a broad flaw with the system that is not its
fault. It is actually a problem that isn't a problem. Most people in the
game are not wearing helmets that protect their head. So most people are
going to suffer from a higher proclivity of being wounded if people are
aiming for the head. There is this...kind of cargo cult belief that
aiming for the head means you do more damage, or can stun someone if
you're lucky or what have you. It's entirely nonsense, but it has a
grain of truth in that people rarely wear, or even have access too,
headwear that provides wound protection or any protection at all. People
have jumpsuits, which are universally wound protected, but that isn't
true of the head. Look, the point is, they're not aiming at the head
because it is usually less armored, its for other reasons but it just so
happens to become true due to wounds and how wounds roll their type.

To soften this issue, I've decided to treat wound resistance as armor
until the limb suffers a tier 3 wound. This way, hits to the head MAY
not necessarily escalate to tier 3 instantly as they would on live even
from relatively low power weapons. Some weapons have very low force, but
have extreme bare wound bonuses. This should be less likely after this
change. I doubt this will necessarily make high damage high wound
weapons like energy swords any less prone to cutting you clean open, but
it might thanks to the reduction to contributed damage to the injury
roll. The system is now _a bit more random_.

## Changelog
🆑
balance: Wounds do not make you as vulnerable to suffering wounds of all
types as before. Instead, wounds make you more vulnerable to suffering
worse versions of themselves as a priority.
balance: Wound armor is now more impactful when protecting you from
wounds when you have already been wounded.
balance: Your head and chest are more difficult to wound until they have
been mangled; either from suffering from a weeping avulsion or a
hairline fracture.
code: Changed the variable for bare_wound_bonus to exposed_wound_bonus
to better explain what that variable is doing.

5e9ce5ab99 New Battle Arcade (#81810)
## About The Pull Request

Remakes Battle Arcade from just about the ground up, with exceptions
taken for emagged stuff since I didn't really want to touch its
behavior.

The Battle Arcade now has stages that players can go through, unlocking
a stage by beating 2 enemies and the boss of the previous one, but this
must all be done in a row. You can choose to take a break between each
battle and there's a good chance you'll sleep just fine but there's also
a chance it can go wrong either through an ambush or robbery.

The Inn lets you restore everything for 15 gold and you can buy a sword
and armor, each level you unlock is a new sword and armor pair you can
buy that's better than the last, it's 30 gold each but scales up as you
progress through levels. They are really worth getting so it's best to
try to not lose your money early in.

The battle system is nearly the same as how it was before but I removed
the poor combo system that plagued the old arcade as one big knowledge
lock, now it's more just turn based. The game is built on permadeath so
dying means you restart from the beginning, but if you are going to lose
you can try to escape instead which costs you half of your gold.

Getting to higher levels increases the difficulty of enemies but also
increases the gaming exp rewards which could make this a better way to
get exp if you can get good at it.

Gaming EXP is used to increase chances of counterattacking but doesn't
give any extra health to the player.

I also removed the exploit of being able to screwdriver arcade cabinets
because people would do that if they thought they were on the verge of
losing to bypass the effects of loss. I instead replaced it with a new
interaction that the Curator's display case key can be used to reset
arcade cabinets (there's several keys on the chain so it made sense to
me), which I added solely because I thought Curators would be the type
of person to have run an actual arcade.

This is some gameplay

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/499083f5-75cc-43b5-b457-017a012beede

As a misc sidenote, I also split up the arcade file just like how Orion
Trail was before, just for neat code organization.
The Inn keeper is straight up just a photo of my localhost dude, he's
not a player reference or anything it's not my actual character.
I also have no idea how well balanced this is cause I suck at it lol.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Battle Arcade is one of 3 last machines in my hackmd here to turn into
TGUI https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA?view
I've always thought the current version of battle arcade is quite lame
and lacks any progression, like Orion Trail I thought that since I was
moving this to TGUI, it would also be a perfect opportunity to revamp it
and try to improve on where it failed before, especially since the
alternative (NTOS Arcade) is also lame as hell and is even lamer than
HTML battle arcade (spam mana, then spam health, then just spam attack,
rinse and repeat).
This will hopefully be more entertaining and give players sense that
they are getting through a series of tasks rather than doing one same
one again and again.

## Changelog

🆑 JohnFulpWillard, Zeek the Rat
add: Battle Arcade has been completely overhauled in a new progression
system, this time using TGUI.
add: The Curator's keys can now reset arcade cabinets.

Mediborg's Amputation Adventure.
fix: You can no longer screwdriver emagged arcade consoles. Accept your
fate.
fix: Silicons can no longer play Mediborg's Amputation Adventure.

lizardqueenlexiandGitHub 9e18c6575a Basic Pirate NPCs (#79284)
## About The Pull Request

Converts hostile pirate NPCs to basic mobs - specifically, a subtype of
trooper. As their behavior is not meaningfully distinct from other
troopers, this conversion mostly just sticks them on the existing AI
behavior while keeping the rest the same.

Pirates do have one new thing going for them, though, to differentiate
them from other troopers. They use the new **plundering attacks**
component, which means that every time they land a melee attack, they
steal money from the bank account of whoever they hit. This requires the
target to be wearing an ID with a linked bank account, so it's not the
hardest thing in the world to hide your money from them - but it's still
something to be wary of! If killed, any mob with this component will
drop everything they've stolen in a convenient holochip.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Takes down 5 more simplemobs, and (I think) converts the last remaining
trooper-type enemy to be a basic trooper. (It's possible there's more
I've forgotten that could use the same AI, though.)

The money-stealing behavior is mostly good because I think it's funny,
but it also makes the pirates something a little distinct from "yet
another mob that runs at you and punches you until you die". They still
do that, but now there's a little twist! This can be placed on other
mobs too, if we want to make any other sorts of thieves or brigands.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Pirate NPCs now use the basic mob framework. They'll be a
little smarter in combat, and if you're wearing your ID they'll siphon
your bank account with every melee attack! Beware! Please report any
bugs.

lizardqueenlexiandGitHub b65f729901 Nanotrasen basic mobs. (#78917)
## About The Pull Request

First and foremost, converts all Nanotrasen simplemobs into basic mobs.

To avoid messy and redundant code, or god forbid, making Nanotrasen mobs
a subtype of Syndicate ones, I've made Syndicate, Russian, and
Nanotrasen mobs all share a unified "Trooper" parent. This should have
no effect on their behaviors, but makes things much easier to extend
further in the future.

While most of this PR is pretty cut-and-dry, I've done a couple notable
things. For one, all types of ranged trooper will now avoid friendly
fire, instead of shooting their friends in the back. Even the Russians
have trigger discipline.

I've also created a new AI subtree that allows mobs to call for
reinforcements. I've hopefully made this easy to extend, but the
existing version works as follows:

- A mob with this subtree that gains a target that is also a mob will
call out to all mobs within 15 tiles.
- If they share a faction, mobs receiving the call will have the target
added to their retaliate list, and have a new key set targeting the
calling mob.
- If they have the correct subtree in their AI controller, called-to
mobs will then run over to help out.

Sadly, this behavior is currently used only by a few completely unused
Nanotrasen mobs, so in practice it will not yet be seen.

Finally, I've fixed a minor issue where melee Russian mobs punch people
to death despite holding a knife. They now use the proper effects for
stabbing instead of punching.
## Why It's Good For The Game

Removes 8 more simple animals from the list.

As said above, making all "trooper" type mobs share a common parent cuts
down on code reuse, ensures consistency of behavior, and makes it much
easier to add new troopers not affiliated with these groups. I expect
that I'll make pirates share this same parent next.

The new "reinforcements" behavior, though extremely powerful, opens up
exciting new opportunities in the future. There aren't many existing
behaviors that allow basic mobs to work _together_ in interesting ways,
and I think adding some enemy teamwork could be fun.
## Changelog
