This is not politics. Having it be set as not `MALE` or `FEMALE` causes
unsolvable inconsistencies in the code because everything assumes "if
not MALE, then FEMALE" or vice versa.
- Migrated "Use gender" enby body types to female (alert user when this
happens).
- Disabled "Use gender" in prefs menu when enby.

fix: Fixed some inconsistencies with bodytypes when non-binary genders
had it set to "Use gender". This is no longer possible. If you use have
previously used this setting, your bodytype will be explicitly set to
female.

## About The Pull Request
Deletes `can_hear`, replaces it with trait-checking deafness.
The only two non-trait sources of deafness (hardcrit and lacking ears)
were refactored into using the trait.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Many places inconsistently check for the deaf trait rather than use
can_hear which meant behavior was not consistent.
Some code would treat "do we lack ears?" as being deaf, some would not.
This unifies all the behavior so being deaf means you're deaf
everywhere.
It also means we can now easily react to gaining and losing deafness via
signal, where before we could not react to it without hooking the trait,
organ remove, AND stat change. Which no one did, of course, because who
would ever think to do that?
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Refactored how deafness is tracked. Please report any weird
interactions with sounds, like messages or sfx being missing.
fix: Lacking ears and being in hard crit now consistently treats you as
"being deaf". This affects a few minor interactions like empath, the
jukebox, and sleeping.

## About The Pull Request
This defaults every tgui to fancy mode and removes the preference
entirely.
## Why It's Good For The Game
If you look through the code you'll find comments like these
> //some browsers (IE8) have trouble with unsupported css3 elements that
break the panel's functionality, so we won't load those if a user is in
no frills tgui mode since that's for similar compatability support
We're far and away from IE8, therefore our need for compatibility
support, so I think it's valid to remove this so called 'no frills tgui
mode'. It's tied into the event message system with every backend
update, so there's a tad less overhead.

## About The Pull Request
Port of https://github.com/shiptest-ss13/Shiptest/pull/3330
Partial port of https://github.com/shiptest-ss13/Shiptest/pull/1601
Makes two changes to how guns handle recoil.
- Changes recoil from an erratic shaking to a kicking of your screen
relative to your firing angle
- Adds a small cosmetic recoil to all ballistics (with an accompanying
pref option to tweak or disable it)
Primary recoil still is only used as a balance lever for a very small
handful of guns (and sawoff)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cosmetic recoil makes guns feel a lot more punchier. People who think
its a competitive disadvantage (nerds/loosers) or people with a
legitimate sickness to screen shake or similar can just turn it off.
Old recoil was just reused explosion, while new recoil feels like its
actually recoil

## 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

## 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

DNA, bodypart overlay, and preference

## 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

better.

## 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.

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

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.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#92125
Very simple, when working without an instantiated datum we would read
from the config manually, but some places neglected to do that.
So I added a macro to help in the future.

## About The Pull Request
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
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've been told the maintainers will love me for doing this
## Changelog
🆑
code: feature keys are no longer magical strings floating around the
codebase and use proper defines
refactor: DNA blocks are now handled with singleton datums.

Implements https://hackmd.io/@tgstation/SkeUS7lSp , rewriting Dynamic
from the ground-up
- Dynamic configuration is now vastly streamlined, making it far far far
easier to understand and edit
- Threat is gone entirely; round chaos is now determined by dynamic
tiers
- There's 5 dynamic tiers, 0 to 4.
- 0 is a pure greenshift.
- Tiers are just picked via weight - "16% chance of getting a high chaos
round".
- Tiers have min pop ranges. "Tier 4 (high chaos) requires 25 pop to be
selected".
- Tier determines how much of every ruleset is picked. "Tier 4 (High
Chaos) will pick 3-4 roundstart[1], 1-2 light, 1-2 heavy, and 2-3
latejoins".
- The number of rulesets picked depends on how many people are in the
server - this is also configurable[2]. As an example, a tier that
demands "1-3" rulesets will not spawn 3 rulesets if population <= 40 and
will not spawn 2 rulesets if population <= 25.
- Tiers also determine time before light, heavy, and latejoin rulesets
are picked, as well as the cooldown range between spawns. More chaotic
tiers may send midrounds sooner or wait less time between sending them.
- On the ruleset side of things, "requirements", "scaling", and
"enemies" is gone.
- You can configure a ruleset's min pop and weight flat, or per tier.
- For example a ruleset like Obsession is weighted higher for tiers 1-2
and lower for tiers 3-4.
- Rather than scaling up, roundstart rulesets can just be selected
multiple times.
- Rulesets also have `min_antag_cap` and `max_antag_cap`.
`min_antag_cap` determines how many candidates are needed for it to run,
and `max_antag_cap` determines how many candidates are selected.
- Rulesets attempt to run every 2.5 minutes. [3]
- Light rulesets will ALWAYS be picked before heavy rulesets. [4]
- Light injection chance is no longer 100%, heavy injection chance
formula has been simplified.
- Chance simply scales based on number of dead players / total number
off players, with a flag 50% chance if no antags exist. [5]
[1] This does not guarantee you will actually GET 3-4 roundstart
rulesets. If a roundstart ruleset is picked, and it ends up being unable
to execute (such as "not enough candidates", that slot is effectively a
wash.) This might be revisited.
[2] Currently, this is a hard limit - below X pop, you WILL get a
quarter or a half of the rulesets. This might be revisited to just be
weighted - you are just MORE LIKELY to get a quarter or a half.
[3] Little worried about accidentally frontloading everything so we'll
see about this
[4] This may be revisited but in most contexts it seems sensible.
[5] This may also be revisited, I'm not 100% sure what the best / most
simple way to tackle midround chances is.
Other implementation details
- The process of making rulesets has been streamlined as well. Many
rulesets only amount to a definition and `assign_role`.
- Dynamic.json -> Dynamic.toml
- Dynamic event hijacked was ripped out entirely.
- Most midround antag random events are now dynamic rulesets. Fugitives,
Morphs, Slaughter Demons, etc.
- The 1 weight slaughter demon event is gone. RIP in peace.
- There is now a hidden midround event that simply adds +1 latejoin, +1
light, or +1 heavy ruleset.
- `mind.special_role` is dead. Minds have a lazylist of special roles
now but it's essentially only used for traitor panel.
- Revs refactored almost entirely. Revs can now exist without a dynamic
ruleset.
- Cult refactored a tiny bit.
- Antag datums cleaned up.
- Pre round setup is less centralized on Dynamic.
- Admins have a whole panel for interfacing with dynamic. It's pretty
slapdash I'm sure someone could make a nicer looking one.
- Maybe some other things.
See readme for more info.
Will you see a massive change in how rounds play out? My hunch says
rounds will spawn less rulesets on average, but it's ultimately to how
it's configured

## About The Pull Request
This is an atomized revival of #82419, with this part containing the
simplest of its features:
- Fixes AO pref refreshing the wrong plane, thus not updating until you
swap bodies
- Removes supermatter's copypasted warp effect
- Culls distortion effects when they're not in use because its a chonky
filter
- Hides the escape menu when its, well, hidden
- Fixes hide_highest_offset not working upon parent's creation (we're so
good at our jobs hell yeah)
- Replaces runechat's AO dropshadow with an outline, because its barely
visible due to low opacity.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Our rendering performance is shit and we need to improve it, and the
first step in this task is optimizing planecube's simplest parts. The
next step is conditional culling, better non-multiz handling and
parallax rework/removal, but all of those need to be atomized as to
prevent the PR from sharing the fate of the original.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Ambient Occlusion pref should now update immediately upon being
changed, instead of having to swap bodies or waiting for server restart
to get it updated.
code: Slightly improved rendering code/performance just a tiny bit.
