## About The Pull Request
This PR should fix the problem of small previews in TGUI once and for
all (I hope).
What was causing it? Because TGUI takes a long time to open, that's why
previews were generated broken (small).
On Byond 515 this problem was not so noticeable as the interfaces opened
faster, but with the release of 516 it became much worse.
Previews were generated inside a window that was not yet open, so the
scale was broken, sometimes the window would open before the preview was
done and sent, usually with small interfaces, or when reopening.
I'm not very good at working with signals, and to tell the truth this is
my second experience with them, so I hope I did it right.
## Why It's Good For The Game
No more small map previews

## About The Pull Request
so there is a problem of:
if 2 modsuit modules were to apply the same trait and 1 were removed,
shit would break
so now all instances of mod_trait applied to the modsuit wearer are refs
instead, with mod_trait used for stuff added to items as that isnt
likely to have the same thing
also qdeleted modsuits delete their parts apparently accidentally
removed at some point. the previous time they did it caused qdel loops
but this time it doesnt
makes boots need to be out for an ai to move someone in a modsuit
improves the ui, non-standard cores now have unique colors for the
charging bar, and you can extend/retract things from ui, also adds a
configurable button to config menu so that the tether doesnt repurpose
the pin function made for circuits
redoes modsuit balloon alerts to use simpler language
makes the weapon recall module make you pick up the weapon if its on
your tile as throws dont work on same tile
## Why It's Good For The Game
futureproofing (also technically presentproofing, if you wear something
like infiltrator and normal back modsuit and both have ai control they
both will give you a trait)
also ai movement doesnt have any checks currently, i think it makes
sense that it would require your boots to be out so that the ai has
something to move
fix stuff change break boom wack
## About The Pull Request
this is a revival of #82635 . i got permission from potato to reopen
this, he did almost all the work. i only just solved the conflicts and
fixed all the bugs that were preventing the original from being merged
(but it should be TMed first)
## Why It's Good For The Game
slightly improves the performance of basic mob AI

## About The Pull Request
Currently to check for Silicon access, we do:
``if is silicon or is admin ghost or has unlimited silicon privileges or
has machine remote in hand``
What has unlimited silicon privileges? Bots, Drones, and admin ghosts.
To check for AI access, it just checks for AI instead of silicon, and
doesnt check for unlimited silicon privileges.
This was kinda silly, so I thought I should make this a little easier to
understand.
Now all silicon/ai traits come from ``AI_ACCESS_TRAIT`` or
``SILICON_ACCESS_TRAIT``. I made a single exception to keep Admin ghost,
since now instead of being a var on the client, we moved it to using the
same trait but giving it to the client instead, but since we have to
keep parity with previous functionality (admins can spawn in and not
have this on, it only works while as a ghost), I kept previous checks as
well.
No more type checks, removes a silly var on the mob level and another on
the client.
Now while I was doing this, I found a lot of tgui's ``ui_act`` still
uses ``usr`` and the wrong args, so I fixed those wherever I saw them,
and used a mass replace for the args.
Other changes:
- machinery's ``ui_act`` from
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81250 had ``isAI`` replaced
with ``HAS_AI_ACCESS``, this has been reverted. Machine wands and admin
ghosts no longer get kicked off things not on cameras. This was my
fault, I overlooked this when adding Human AI.
- Human AI's wand gives AI control as long as it's in your hand, you can
swap to your offhand. I hope this doesn't end up going horribly,
otherwise I'll revert this part. It should let human AIs not have their
UI closed on them when swapping to eat food or use their door wand or
whatnot.
- Bots previously had special checks to scan reagents and be
unobservant, I replaced this with giving them the trait. I also fixed an
instance of unobservant not being used, so now statues don't affect the
basic creature, whatever that is.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This is an easier to understand way of handling silicon access and makes
these mobs more consistent between eachother.
Other than what I've mentioned above, this should have no impact on
gameplay itself.

While on the floor, you can:
- Use the UIs of Atmos machinery (except thermomachine and bluespace gas
vendor), Holopads, Crayons (spray cans too), radios, and Disposal bins
- Close extinguisher cabinets with Right-Click
- Click and drag yourself onto a photocopier to climb onto it.
I also changed all instances of ``ui_status`` to have all the args it's
being passed, I was messing with it a bit but it's gonna be for a later
PR.

This PR converts the procs `color_matrix_identity`,
`color_matrix_lightness` and `color_matrix_contrast` into
defines/macros. Also adds in defines for common color matrix filters.
I don't like how `color_matrix_identity` is a one-line proc with no arg.
Also these help people identify the sort of color matrix filter is being
used.
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.

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.
