-# so help me space jesus if this doesn't compile despite working fine
on my local machine
Makes burdened chaplain and psyker pirates not blind, so that someone
playing them isnt assaulted by irregularly flashing monochromatic lights
on a black background. Instead the echolocation outlines will simply
pulse to highlight nearby objects regardless of lighting conditions or
other vision obscuring effects. adds support for if you want
psykerization to blind people or not.
keeps bitrunner psykers blind, since that's the point of the domain.
Just avoid those domains if you can't handle the effect, sorry.
A. It makes psyker an actual useful ability. I have personally seen, as
a ghost, psyker pirates fail to navigate out of their ship for a full
five minutes, and then die horribly because they are unable to actually
do anything because they're **Worse than blinded** since blindness has a
small radius of working vision.
B. In-game effects should not cause **real world eye pain and nausea**
thank you very much.
neat fact: blind seers only really work when the seer-ing makes up for
the blindness.
example of outline highlighting hidden underfloor objects (like that
satchel!) while user is not horribly blinded
🆑
fix: blind psykers are not blinded twice by two different sources, head
and brain.
qol: Psyker bounty hunters and chaplains are no longer blinded by
default, so as to reduce the amount of eye strain from the echolocation
effect. The echolocation virtual domains remain as they are.

## About The Pull Request
Completely refactored how client colors are handled. Now they're similar
to traits, having a source associated with them. Instead of adding and
removing by strict type (which makes client colors prone to getting
duplicated and not cleaned up) you remove a filter associated with a
specific source. Adding another client color with the same source as an
already existing one will replace the existing one if its of a different
type, or do nothing if they're the same (unless force is set to TRUE).
Client colors can also force filter splitting, putting all colors that
come before them, themselves, and all colors after them into separate
filters - this is useful to prevent mixing in filters which are supposed
to remove a certain color.
<details>
<summary>Example of how Perceptomatrix and nightmare vision goggles
combined before this PR:</summary>
And this is after, as you can see nightmare vision effect's red is only
slightly tinted by perceptomatix instead of being literally halved.
</details>
Additionally, added support for custom filters (and not just colors) to
client color code to allow us to work with more colorspaces.
Also fixed weird blindness behavior, so this also

* Halved Psyker echolocation cooldown (#83125)
## About The Pull Request
Default psyker refresh rate has gone from '2 seconds' to '1 second'
## Why It's Good For The Game
I tried playing Psyker a few rounds ago. Oh my god. It was so bad.
Genuinely, I spent more time looking at the fadeout screen than actually
seeing things. It was horrible and most importantly extremely
nauseating. I wasn't even able to make my way to the station nor find
where my guns even were.
I had just eaten lunch and literally had to stop and suicide just so I
didn't throw up. In real life. I injected the 2 gore injectors and
noticed there was another meat cube with nearby expended gore injectors
next to me. Someone else joined as Psyker and did the same thing after
noticing how unplayable it was.
While testing in local I was shocked by how much better it felt. Trying
to compare the two experiences made me realize that there is a HUGE
diference between the 'real' cooldown in local and on live.
Due to that, I'm just going ahead and shortening the cooldown, which
will hopefully bring Echocolocation into its INTENDED design, rather
than the UNINTENDED slower, laggier version.
I think the main reason it was nauseating on live, unlike local, is that
in local, I spend more time being able to see things. In live, I spent
more time looking at the black fading screen.
While I labeled it as balance, this is probably closer to a qol or fix
than anything else imo. It brings Psyker into its intended design and
tries to stop it causing real life nausea.

* Fix psyker echolocation lag (#82005)
## About The Pull Request
Fixes a slowly increasing lag for psykers, subtly introduced by #80042
Turns out the code expects all of the images to fully fade out before
any new images start fading in, thus the expiry time + fade out time
must not exceed the cooldown time.
Note that this will still be laggier than if you're NOT a psyker because
of how things are rendered, but it should stay consistent.

+ var/hint = to_delete.Destroy(force) // Let our friend know they're about to get fucked up.

We avoid a heap allocation in the form of copying the args over to a new

real round shaving off a full second of self time and 0.4 seconds of
overtime--both of these would be doubled in the event this is merged as
the new proc was only being run 50% of the time.

## About The Pull Request
Adds an arg in huds' screens to add the hud owner in the Initialize,
instead of manually setting it every time we need to.
This is already done in ``New()`` for lobby screens, which I left intact
as lobby screens are used for new players, and are given out before
atoms are Initialized. Everything else, however, uses Initialize, so it
does not mess with any other args in their own Initializes (like the
Escape menu).
This also allows us to set the screens' HUDs as a private var, to ensure
this won't be messed with in the future.
Lastly I replaced instances of ``client`` with ``cannon_client`` to be
consistent with a lot of other parts of hud code.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Huds are easy to break when they do not have a hud owner, and for
something as important as that I believe it should be something you
opt-out of when you don't want it, rather than something you opt-into by
manually setting hud owner every time.
This cuts down on a lot of copy paste in hud code for humans, aliens,
etc.
## Changelog

refactor: Huds now have their hud owner set in Initialize

* Basic pollen-particles for plants pollenating. (#74675)
Legally endorsed nightcode 👍
## About The Pull Request
When 2 plants are adjacent to each other, they will begin to
cross-pollenate, sharing their potency, instability, and yield values
between the two. This has been in the game since #50001 , however we
never added a more clear visual tell that cross-pollenation exists.
Thanks to the magic of *barticles*, now you can!
_pictured: wheat and tomatoes pollenating_
Adds a simple particle effect, largely lifted from bonfires, that
indicates that two plants are sharing stats at minimum.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Following discussion from #74621, it was decided we needed and preferred
a more visual cue to the mechanic. As a general point I think that's a
longer term fix to the issue, and this adds more visual clarity to an
otherwise arcane mechanic (heh).
Looking for feedback on how to improve the look of the particles but for
fast nightcode I think I did okay for a first try

On the tin, doing it like this means we can reduce our overall line
fingerprint whenever we have to add two or more traits from the same
source on the same target. Especially helps when we get to the 4+ range
of traits, a breath of fresh air even.
Doesn't mean we have to do for loops, as that's already handled within
the define as well. I replaced some of the checks with `length()`
checks, let me know if I should switch it over to something else (maybe
`islist()`)? We stack_trace whenever we're not passed a list reference
on purpose, and sometimes var/lists are null by default (or just empty,
making this redundant).
## Why It's Good For The Game
I commonly feel the urge to write "use `AddTraits()`" or something in
reviews, then am sad when I remember it doesn't exist. I will no longer
be sad.
Can ensure a lot more trait safety as well by using static lists- when
both ADD_TRAIT_LIST and REMOVE_TRAIT_LIST re-use the same list, you are
confident (from a static point of view) that everything that you want to
be adding/removing works.
I may have missed a few things where this could be used, but both macros
implemented in this PR still use the same framework that was being used
in the last four years- so stuff won't break if left untouched. Just a
nifty new tool for developers.
also fixed up some code in the area, numerous bugs were found and

* Psykers (#71566)
## About The Pull Request
Finishes #66471
At burden level nine (or through a deadly genetic breakdown), you now
turn into a psyker.
This splits your skull in half and transforms it into a weird fleshy
mass. You become blind, but your skull is perfectly suited for sending
out psychic waves. You get potent psy abilities.
First one is brainwave echolocation, inspired by Gehennites (but not as
laggy).
Secondly, you get the ability of Psychic Walls, which act similarly to
wizard ones, but last shorter, and cause projectiles to ricochet off
them.
Thirdly, you get a projectile boost ability, this temporarily lets you
fire guns twice as fast and gives them homing to the target you clicked.
Lastly, you get the ability of psychic projection. This terrifies the
victim, fucking their screen up and causing them to rapidfire any gun
they have in their general direction (they'll probably miss you)
With most of the abilities being based around guns, a burden level nine
chaplain now gets a new rite, Transmogrify. This lets them turn their
null rod into a 5-shot 18 damage .77 revolver. The revolver possesses a
weaker version of antimagic (protects against mind and unholy spells,
but not wizard/cult ones). It is reloaded by a prayer action (can also
only be performed by a max burdened person).

## Why It's Good For The Game
Rewards the burdened chaplain with some pretty cool stuff for going
through hell like losing half his limbs, cause the current psychics dont
cut it as much as probably necessary, adds echolocation which can be
used for neat stuff in the future (bat organs for DNA infuser for
example).

through hell like losing half his limbs, cause the current psychics dont
cut it as much as probably necessary, adds echolocation which can be
used for neat stuff in the future (bat organs for DNA infuser for
example).
## Changelog
🆑 Fikou, sprites from Halcyon, some old code from Basilman and
Armhulen.
refactor: Honorbound and Burdened mutations are brain traumas now.
add: Psykers. Become a psyker through the path of the burdened, or a
genetic breakdown.
add: Echolocation Component.
