RikuTheKillerandGitHub c7e4e90004 Adds a new antag, the Blood Worm (#93787)
## LTS Document

Check this document before making any significant future changes to
blood worms, please.

https://hackmd.io/@RikuTheKiller/H1AHQSKNZx

## About The Pull Request

THIS PR SHOULD ABSOLUTELY BE TM'D FIRST

Blood worms are a new progression antag. When the event runs, 2
candidates are picked from ghosts and spawned in as blood worm
hatchlings, which then have to grow up, do a couple objectives and take
over the station.

Hatchlings are weak outside of a host, while juveniles can stand their
own reasonably well. Adults have high offensive power and can only be
dealt with using the right gear or a lot of luck and robustness. They're
meant to be a moment of glory for achieving maximum progression and they
can bootstrap the next hatchlings by gathering corpses before cocooning.

Each growth stage requires 30 seconds in a cocoon, which can only be
created after consuming a lot of blood. There's a falloff curve on a
per-blood-type basis, meaning you can't drain the same person over and
over again to reach adulthood. The medbay freezer is a priority target
for the blood worms and can get one of them to the juvenile stage if
fully ransacked.

It takes 500 blood to mature from hatchling to juvenile, and 1500 blood
to mature from juvenile to adult. You can only get up to 1000 blood from
synthetic sources like monkeys, and consuming synthetic blood is 30%
less efficient. Blood worms can also examine living targets to see how
much blood a target has, and how much growth the blood worm would gain
for consuming that blood.

Blood worms spawn in vents and have night vision for maneuvering in
maintenance. Hatchlings can ventcrawl, while juveniles can move around
by breaking things. Optionally, you can take over a host with a lot of
access like the Captain to go basically anywhere, especially if nobody
knows you killed the captain.

Behind the scenes, host-taking kicks the host's original mind to a
backseat mob. This needs the most testing in practice, but it's
confirmed that it returns the host's mind back to their body, at least
in testing.

All mob, ability and action sprites are made by INFRARED_BARON. Legal
rights were transferred to me after I paid for the commission.

Note, I've been working on this massive PR for quite a while, so
documenting every small change is really hard! Apologies for anything
I've missed. There's a lot.

Final note, admins can spawn these by either:
A. Trigger the midround event via the dynamic-panel verb, under the
Rulesets tab.
B. Giving someone the Blood Worm antag datum via the Traitor Panel in
the Player Panel for the target player. This will transform their mob
into a valid Blood Worm, with all of the associated objectives and such.

### Active Abilities
1. Leech Blood (No Host) - Lets the blood worm drain blood from living
targets and reagent containers. Uses an aggressive grab to restrain
living targets until leeching is over, which takes around a second to
initiate. Causes oxyloss during the leeching. NPC monkeys can't escape
from this and it floors targets as well.
2. Spit Blood (Both) - Multi-function ability, lets the blood worm fire
ranged corrosive blood spit at targets, melt restraints on their hosts
by right-clicking, and as an adult, shoot a burst of blood spit at a
target by right-clicking. Note of the right-click abilities, shooting
bursts can't be done while in a host. (to avoid unfair stealth kills)
Shooting a burst has a much longer cooldown than shooting normally. All
spit types cost blood to use.
3. Invade Corpse (No Host) - Lets the blood worm take a host for
themselves, consuming all of the host's blood and in essence, "becoming"
the host. Any bloodloss inflicted on the host is taken as damage to the
blood worm, and the blood worm retains its weakness to fire even in this
state. Burn damage itself no longer has any extra damage, though.
4. Leave Host (Host) - Title, literally just leaves the host after a
delay. Notably works even while the host is moving, dead, incapacitated
or otherwise fucked up in any way, shape or form.
5. Inject Blood (Host) - Lets the blood worm heal its host. The potency
of this increases as the worm grows up, but so does the cooldown and
blood consumption. This works on organ damage, injuries, etc.
6. Mature (No Host) - Makes the blood worm enter a cocoon for 30
seconds, emerging as the next growth stage. Requires an increasing
amount of consumed blood / growth as the blood worm uses it.
7. Reproduce (No Host, Adult Only) - Makes the blood worm enter a cocoon
for 30 seconds, with 4 hatchlings emerging out of it, including the
original blood worm, now reverted back into a hatchling as well.
8. Revive Host (Host) - If the host is in a viable state to be revived,
revives them after an animation sequence plays out.

### Passive Abilities
1. Space Immunity - Blood worms are immune to the cold, low pressures
and a lack of oxygen. Only the immunity to a lack of oxygen carries on
to hosts from this.
2. Organ Insertion - Blood worms can insert organs into their hosts by
right-clicking on them with the organ in-hand. This mainly exists to
deal with hosts that lack organs, and avoids the gotcha where an adult
blood worm ends up gutting their host by hitting them too hard, as they
can simply fix it on the spot.
3. Life Support - Blood worm hosts don't need a heart, lungs or a liver
to survive. Lungs are useful for speaking, and a liver is necessary to
process reagents.
4. Regeneration - Blood worms slowly heal over time. This is nowhere
near enough to overcome bleeding or heat damage, since it's 0.3 hp/s for
a hatchling, 0.4 hp/s for a juvenile and 0.5 hp/s for an adult.
5. Night Vision - Blood worms can see in the dark. This doesn't extend
to hosts.
6. Ventcrawling - Hatchling blood worms can ventcrawl.
7. Doorcrawling - Hatchling and juvenile blood worms can slide under
doors. Doing so takes 3 seconds for a hatchling and 5 seconds for a
juvenile.
8. HUD - Blood worms can tell how much blood targets have at a glance,
via a blood HUD bar exclusive to them. They can also tell apart other
blood worm hosts from normal people via an antag HUD. There's also an
examine message they can use on living targets for even more info.

### Weaknesses
1. Heat and Fire - Blood worms quickly die to heat, their bodies are
flammable and their blood will burn up if their host's core temperature
is too high. The main counter to this is getting a host with
flame-resistant gear.
2. Bleeding - While in a host, bleeding wounds will directly damage the
blood worm itself. How much a host needs to bleed before the worm dies
depends on their growth stage. Blood worm hosts keep bleeding even while
dead, so just keep hitting them and they'll die. Blood worms
automatically leave their hosts when they hit 10% health or lower, and
their hosts bleed 50% faster than normal people.
3. Stuns - Blood worms have no way of dealing with a stunned host other
than getting out. They can deal with any restraints by melting them,
though.
4. Testing - Security can order a blood worm testing crate from cargo,
either for a 20 minute cooldown via the security cargo interface
console, or for 10000 credits via the supply console. It contains 4
single-use testers that hurt a bit when applied, but are instant to use
and 100% accurate. The stopgap is that they're really fucking expensive
and only work once per item.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Antagonist variety, mainly. This is basically Cortical Borers 2:
Electric Boogaloo.

Currently, we lack any antagonists with mind control abilities. That
really sucks!

I've also gotten a lot of positive feedback about the antagonist while
working on it.

This antagonist also has great potential for roleplay, as they can take
over hosts, surprise attack people by getting out of a dead corpse, talk
to each other using Wormspeak, etc.

I think we're also itching for variety on "pest" antagonists. Right now
we just have spiders and xenos. Everybody knows these two, so why not
mix it up a bit?

And as for balance? Blood worms are relatively easy to dispatch when you
know their weaknesses, which are extremely clear. Bleeding for hosts,
fire for either one, lasers for the worms themselves. As long as you get
the host in crit and keep hitting, you've pretty much won, and they
can't keep spamming Inject Blood forever since they'll quickly run out
of blood to use.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added a new heavy roundstart/midround antagonist, the Blood Worm.
Credit to INFRARED_BARON for the sprites!
fix: Removing traits based on a source no longer causes issues with
trait signals.
fix: High-priority effects no longer double-trigger due to subsystem
issues.
fix: Weighted averaging in reagent merging code has been band-aid fixed.
It's not the best, but it works.

MrMelbertandGitHub b62ee3c6a9 Partial language understanding actually works as intended (#93999)
## About The Pull Request

So, partial language understanding scaled the % chance to translate
something based on the ranking in the most common words list

But the ranking isn't real the list is in alphabetical order

So, adds a new list of the 1000 most common words sorted by *frequency*,
which I found on a random github page.
Is it scientifically found? I have no idea, but it looks good enough to
work.

This list doesn't share the same 1000 words as our existing one, so I
added all the differing words (amounted to ~400) to the original list.

So now partial language understanding correctly translates words based
on frequency.

## Changelog

🆑 Melbert
fix: Partial language understanding now correctly has a higher chance of
translating more common words.
qol: Aphasia got slightly more words to work with

Y0SH1M4S73RandRoxy 45cc222314 Allows blocking language speech and comprehension separately (#91884)
## About The Pull Request

There was a PR I wanted to make, but one of the features I wanted the
addition to have was for an affected mob to only speak aphasic, but
understand whatever languages they'd normally be able to understand.
This, in turn, required refactoring language holders to separately block
language speech and comprehension. This change, I decided, would be good
to split into its own PR.

MrMelbertandShadow-Quill 8eeca96108 Adds Common Second Language quirk, tweaks to partial understanding (#90614)
## About The Pull Request

- Tweaks partial understanding. 

Paragraphs are now split into sentences first creating more natural
breaks between sentences.

- Adds "Common Second Language" quirk

This quirk changes your default understanding of common (up to) 90%
(your choice), meaning you drop the occasional word.


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/63e9d67b-7db2-4d23-9d0f-bae175962db4)


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/840ef391-5126-4ba7-9298-804686bcd6df)

Additionally, when your sanity drops below a threshold, you become
forced to speak your native language, albeit with a partial
understanding applied for everyone else.

Incompatible with similar language quirks + can't be taken by humans
(yet?)

## Why It's Good For The Game

Just a fun way to play around with the new "partial understanding"
system.

MrMelbertandShadow-Quill beb2e76b57 Silicons have 66% understanding of uncommon roundstart languages (#90642)
## About The Pull Request

Silicons have 66% understanding of uncommon roundstart languages

## Why It's Good For The Game

Joke reason: 


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/12f9ede6-d808-4b61-848a-dcc8a38df6c9)

Serious reason: I understand why the original change was made, and the
points mentioned in the PR were very valid. But at the same time, I
think silicons being unable to parse most languages is a flavor fail. My
thoughts are using partial languages as a compromise would assuage the
concerns of the original PR while still giving us some of the flavor of
omniscient AI. If you disagree (Particularly you JohnFulpWillard) feel
free to close this.

(And of course we can always tweak the number. I had the thought of
adjusting the % of given languages depending on how close they are to
common - so languages like Voltaic are much lower, ~20%.)

## Changelog

MrMelbertandShadow-Quill 8a44bf25fc Reworks language translations. Add partial language understanding. Bilingual update. (#90252)
Fixes #89445 (well, technically. It fixes the bug associated but these
`say`s should really be emotes.)

Three things:

1. Reworks how language translation works.

Rather than scrambling a sentence into a language entirely, sentences
are now scrambled on a per-word basis.

Additionally, the 1000 most common words of a language are *never*
re-scrambled across the duration of a round. Once it's set it's set in
stone.

Example: (Sample / Old / New)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69be41fa-bc40-45f0-bd80-e24e799c9f38)

This allows for a number of things:

- More consistent translations, making it (more) viable to actually
"teach" someone words for something
- Maintaining emphasis such as caps (but not `||`, `++`, or `__` - at
least not yet)
- The following:

2. Adds partial language understanding

Some languages can understand portions of other languages.

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b6eee2c7-f564-437b-8c7a-bd1d88a9b680)

This pr adds the following:
- Those who understand Beachtongue can understand 50% of Common and 33%
of Uncommon words.
- Those who understand Common can understand 33% of Beachtongue and 20%
of Uncommon words.
- Those who understand Uncommon can understand 20% of Common and 20% of
Beachtongue words.

3. Bilingual quirk has been expanded to accomodate these changes.

There are now two more preferences:
- Language Speakable
- You can toggle this, so you only understand the language, rather than
understand AND speak.
- Language Skill
- If you choose to be unable to speak the language, you can set how much
of the language you can understand, down to 10%.

Playing around languages is fun, but due to the way our translation
works, ALL context is immediately lost for what the other person may be
saying.

If the other person is shouting in all caps? Output language is normal
chatting. This is lame!

Even if someone is unable to understand you, there's a LOT you can
convey just by how you speak, and getting that across in game is quite
difficult when all translations get mauled so badly.

So this changes that.

- Emphasis like caps lock is maintained, so you see someone shouting in
caps in a foreign language you can probably intuit something is wrong
(but not what is wrong!)
- Some languages can gleam bits of other languages, so you MIGHT be able
to pick out context if you pay close attention
- "Brother" languages will now feel more like "brothers" and not
completely divergent
- You can even "teach" someone words in your language - at least the
most common words! (Until next round)

MrMelbertandGitHub 32d04164c4 Adds Common Second Language quirk, tweaks to partial understanding (#90614)
## About The Pull Request

- Tweaks partial understanding. 

Paragraphs are now split into sentences first creating more natural
breaks between sentences.

- Adds "Common Second Language" quirk

This quirk changes your default understanding of common (up to) 90%
(your choice), meaning you drop the occasional word.

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/840ef391-5126-4ba7-9298-804686bcd6df)

Additionally, when your sanity drops below a threshold, you become
forced to speak your native language, albeit with a partial
understanding applied for everyone else.

Incompatible with similar language quirks + can't be taken by humans
(yet?)

## Why It's Good For The Game

Just a fun way to play around with the new "partial understanding"
system.

MrMelbertandGitHub d412674e24 Silicons have 66% understanding of uncommon roundstart languages (#90642)
## About The Pull Request

Silicons have 66% understanding of uncommon roundstart languages

## Why It's Good For The Game

Joke reason: 


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/12f9ede6-d808-4b61-848a-dcc8a38df6c9)

Serious reason: I understand why the original change was made, and the
points mentioned in the PR were very valid. But at the same time, I
think silicons being unable to parse most languages is a flavor fail. My
thoughts are using partial languages as a compromise would assuage the
concerns of the original PR while still giving us some of the flavor of
omniscient AI. If you disagree (Particularly you JohnFulpWillard) feel
free to close this.

(And of course we can always tweak the number. I had the thought of
adjusting the % of given languages depending on how close they are to
common - so languages like Voltaic are much lower, ~20%.)

## Changelog

MrMelbertandGitHub 67dd51be79 Reworks language translations. Add partial language understanding. Bilingual update. (#90252)
## About The Pull Request

Fixes #89445 (well, technically. It fixes the bug associated but these
`say`s should really be emotes.)

Three things:

1. Reworks how language translation works.

Rather than scrambling a sentence into a language entirely, sentences
are now scrambled on a per-word basis.

Additionally, the 1000 most common words of a language are *never*
re-scrambled across the duration of a round. Once it's set it's set in
stone.

Example: (Sample / Old / New)


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/69be41fa-bc40-45f0-bd80-e24e799c9f38)

This allows for a number of things:

- More consistent translations, making it (more) viable to actually
"teach" someone words for something
- Maintaining emphasis such as caps (but not `||`, `++`, or `__` - at
least not yet)
- The following:

2. Adds partial language understanding

Some languages can understand portions of other languages.


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b6eee2c7-f564-437b-8c7a-bd1d88a9b680)

This pr adds the following:
- Those who understand Beachtongue can understand 50% of Common and 33%
of Uncommon words.
- Those who understand Common can understand 33% of Beachtongue and 20%
of Uncommon words.
- Those who understand Uncommon can understand 20% of Common and 20% of
Beachtongue words.

3. Bilingual quirk has been expanded to accomodate these changes.

There are now two more preferences:
- Language Speakable
- You can toggle this, so you only understand the language, rather than
understand AND speak.
- Language Skill
- If you choose to be unable to speak the language, you can set how much
of the language you can understand, down to 10%.

itsmeowandRoxy 9ebcabb077 IconForge: rust-g Spritesheet Generation (#89478)
Replaces the asset subsystem's spritesheet generator with a rust-based
implementation (https://github.com/tgstation/rust-g/pull/160).

This is a rough port of
https://github.com/BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet/pull/10404, but it
includes fixes for some cases I didn't catch that apply on TG.

(FWIW we've been using this system on prod for over a year and
encountered no major issues.)

![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/53bd2b44-9bb5-42d2-b33f-093651edebc0)

`/datum/asset/spritesheet_batched`: A version of the spritesheet system
that collects a list of `/datum/universal_icon`s and sends them off to
rustg asynchronously, and the generation also runs on another thread, so
the game doesn't block during realize_spritesheet. The rust generation
is about 10x faster when it comes to actual icon generation, but the
biggest perk of the batched spritesheets is the caching system.

This PR notably does not convert a few things to the new spritesheet
generator.

- Species and antagonist icons in the preferences view because they use
getFlatIcon ~~which can't be converted to universal icons~~.
- Yes, this is still a *massive* cost to init, unfortunately. On Bee, I
actually enabled the 'legacy' cache on prod and development, which you
can see in my PR. That's why I added the 'clear cache' verb and the
`unregister()` procs, because it can force a regeneration at runtime. I
decided not to port this, since I think it would be detrimental to the
large amount of contributors here.
- It is *technically* possible to port parts of this to the uni_icon
system by making a uni_icon version of getFlatIcon. However, some
overlays use runtime-generated icons which are ~~completely unparseable
to IconForge, since they're stored in the RSC and don't exist as files
anywhere~~. This is most noticeable with things like hair (which blend
additively with the hair mask on the server, thus making them invisible
to `get_flat_uni_icon`). It also doesn't help that species and antag
icons will still need to generate a bunch of dummies and delete them to
even verify cache validity.
- It is actually possible to write the RSC icons to the filesystem
(using fcopy) and reference them in IconForge. However, I'm going to
wait on doing this until I port my GAGS implementation because it
requires GAGS to exist on the filesystem as well.

IconForge generates a cache based on the set of icons used, all
transform operations applied, and the source DMIs of each icon used
within the spritesheet. It can compare the hashes and invalidate the
cache automatically if any of these change. This means we can enable
caching on development, and have absolutely no downsides, because if
anything changes, the cache invalidates itself.

The caching has a mean cost of ~5ms and saves a lot of time compared to
generating the spritesheet, even with rust's faster generation. The main
downside is that the cache still requires building the list of icons and
their transforms, then json encoding it to send to rustg.

Here's an abbreviated example of a cache JSON. All of these need to
match for the cache to be valid. `input_hash` contains the transform
definitions for all the sprites in the spritesheet, so if the input to
iconforge changes, that hash catches it. The `sizes` and `sprites` are
loaded into DM.

```json
{
	"input_hash": "99f1bc67d590e000",
	"dmi_hashes": {
		"icons/ui/achievements/achievements.dmi": "771200c75da11c62"
	},
	"sizes": [
		"76x76"
	],
	"sprites": {
		"achievement-rustascend": {
			"size_id": "76x76",
			"position": 1
		}
	},
	"rustg_version": "3.6.0",
	"dm_version": 1
}
```

Universal icons are just a collection of DMI, Icon State, and any icon
transformation procs you apply (blends, crops, scales). They can be
convered to DM icons via `to_icon()`. I've included an implementation of
GAGS that produces universal icons, allowing GAGS items to be converted
into them. IconForge can read universal icons and add them to
spritesheets. It's basically just a wrapper that reimplements BYOND icon
procs.

Converts some uses of md5asfile within legacy spritesheets to use
rustg_hash_file instead, improving the performance of their generation.

Fixes lizard body markings not showing in previews, and re-adds eyes to
the ethereal color preview. This is a side effect of IconForge having
*much* better error handling than DM icon procs. Invalid stuff that gets
passed around will error instead of silently doing nothing.

Changes the CSS used in legacy spritesheet generation to split
`background: url(...) no-repeat` into separate props. This is necessary
for WebView2, as IE treats these properties differently - adding
`background-color` to an icon object (as seen in the R&D console) won't
work if you don't split these out.

Deletes unused spritesheets and their associated icons (condiments
spritesheet, old PDA spritesheet)

If you press "Character Setup", the 10-13sec of lag is now approximately
0.5-2 seconds.

Tracy profile showing the time spent on get_asset_datum. I pressed the
preferences button during init on both branches. Do note that this was
ran with a smart cache HIT, so no generation occurred.

`generate_spritesheet()` is very fast:

MrMelbertandGitHub 4407d1174a Space Carps & Dragons now speak Carptongue instead of Common. Space Dragons also speak Draconic. (#89034)
## About The Pull Request


![image](https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/df57849b-c465-465a-9f8b-fc6550183794)

- Space Carps and Space Dragons no longer speak Common.
- Space Carps and Space Dragons now speak Carptongue, a language native
to Space Carps.
- Space Dragons also speak Draconic. 
- Space Dragons can still understand common, they just can't speak it. 
- Space Craps cannot understand common, unless they're a special carp
(Cayenne, Lia, Magicarps, those spawned from plushies)
- Ash Drakes and Ice Whelps also no longer speak Common, and instead
speak Draconic. They can still understand common.
- Carp Infusion now lets you speak and understand Carptongue.
- Fish Infusion now lets you speak and understand Carptongue.
- Fire Sharks now speak Carptongue instead of Common. They can still
understand common (to receive directions).

## Why It's Good For The Game

#89032 made me think "hey why CAN carps speak Common?" 

So I thought "What if the Space Dragon spoke Draconic instead since it's
a big lizard"

But naturally the Space Dragon still needs to communicate verbally to
its carps and, well, carps aren't really lizards so they shouldn't get
Draconic right?

So I thought "Why not add a Fish language" 

Now, various aquatic space creatures have a language that they can speak
between one another in privacy, while the Space Dragon can still
communicate to the crew for gimmicks via the curator (or draconic if
they want to speak to lizards)

## Changelog

MrMelbertandGitHub 6476459c65 Fix language scramble cache nuking(?)(maybe 10 years old bug?) (#88485)
## About The Pull Request

I was looking at a bay code base's language and saw this
```dm
	// Add it to cache, cutting old entries if the list is too long
	scramble_cache[input] = scrambled_text
	if(scramble_cache.len > SCRAMBLE_CACHE_LEN)
		scramble_cache.Cut(1, scramble_cache.len-SCRAMBLE_CACHE_LEN-1)
```
Then I noticed "Wait isn't this broken? 51 - 50 - 1 = 0, so it's doing
`Cut(1, 0)` which cuts the whole list, what's the point of all this
arithmetic?"

Then I saw we have the same code so this is probably very old

At this point I'm not sure if it's a bug or not, but I've reasoned it as
one:

- If it was NOT a bug, and we just wanted to clear the entire list, why
do we over-complicate it (why is it not just `.Cut()`)?
`scramble_cache.len` *will never be larger than* `SCRAMBLE_CACHE_LEN +
1` because this proc only ever adds entries one at a time, meaning the
result will always be `0`

- And if it's not a bug, why do we bother putting most recent items at
the bottom of the list? We do all this effort for no reason, it's just
wiped at the end of the day.
```dm
/datum/language/proc/check_cache(input)
	var/lookup = scramble_cache[input]
	if(lookup)
		scramble_cache -= input
		scramble_cache[input] = lookup
	. = lookup
```

Thus I am running with the assumption that this code was meant to be
`scramble_cache.len - SCRAMBLE_CACHE_LEN + 1` - that's a `+1` at the end
not a `-1`

But that would still just be an overly complicated way to say `51 - 50 +
1`, or, just `2`

So I'm just changing it to cut the first element out

John WillardandGitHub 1880003270 Reworks silicon/ai access checking & fixes some ui_act's (#84964)
## 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.

## Changelog

GhomandGitHub d9168e7254 Adds a treasure chest to the ocean/beach fishing spot. (#85276)
## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a treasure chest that can be fished from the ocean if
you're lucky enough (or have enough explosives or lobstrosities to do it
for you). The treasure chest is basically a mystery box (like the ones
from the deathmatch) with a couple catches; the treasure chest can be
opened up to 18 times in total before breaking down, however, it can
only be opened up to 3 times per spaceman, encouraging the player to
share it with others.

Here the possible loot by the by:
- A toolbox containing a master fishing rod, all the hooks and reels,
fish feed, an experi-scanner, an aquarium kit and a can of super baits
- A box containing a lazarus injector, a cup and a bottle of strange
reagent which you can use to revive fish now
- A circuit board for a pre-emagged fishing portal generator
- A master fishing rod
- A can of super fishing baits
- A fish case containing Tiziran fish
- A fish case containing Syndicate fish
- An old, yet fairly strong cutlass
- An old laser gun which fires only 5 shots before running out
- A crank laser musket
- A smoothbore disabler
- A surplus bolt action rifle
- A ration pack
- A can of squid ink
- A bottle of aged rum that forces you to switch to the piratespeak
language
- A money bag with some doubloons inside
- A piratespeak manual
- Pirate armored coat
- Pirate armored hat
- A pre-loaded cannon
- Four trash cannon balls
- Four cannon balls

## Why It's Good For The Game
Mystery boxes are fun, from the little fanfare they play to the
potential loot they can give, and I had an old treasure chest I had
sprited for fun years ago around so I've come up with an entertaining
idea. If you think the loot list is a bit too hot, I can cool it down a
bit.
Also yeah, I wanted to make fish revivable with strange reagent, since
you can already do it with lazarus injectors even though using a lazarus
injector for this would be a severe waste of mining points.

## Changelog

MrMelbertandGitHub 0cc5cfb178 Random Name Generation refactor, generate random names based on languages (for species without name lists, like Felinids and Podpeople) (#83021)
## About The Pull Request

This PR moves random name generation for species onto their languages. 

What does this mean? 

- For species with a predefined name list, such as Lizards and Moths,
nothing.

- For species without predefined name lists, such as Felinids, their
names will now be randomly generated from their language's syllables.

![image](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/51863163/eb6ccf9b-8b1c-4637-b46e-66cab9c8aac0)

Why? 

- Well, we actually had some dead code that did this. All I did was fix
it up and re-enable it.
- Generates some pretty believable in-universe names for various
languages that are lacking name lists. Obviously defined lists would be
preferred, but until they are added, at least.
- Moves some stuff off of species, which is always nice. 
- Also hopefully makes it a tad easier to work with name generation.
There's now a standard framework for getting a random name for a mob,
and for getting a random name based on a species.

Misc: 

- Adds a generic `species_prototype` global, uses it in a lot of places
in prefs code.
- Makes `GLOB.species_list` init via the global defines
- Deletes Language SS
- Alphabetizes some instances of admin tooling using the list of all
species IDs
- Docs language stuff
- Deletes random_skin_tone, it does pretty much nothin

san7890andGitHub c403a6eccc Wraps lowertext() to ensure proper stringification. (#82442)
## About The Pull Request

Fixes #82440

This PR just creates a new macro, `LOWER_TEXT()` (yes the irony is not
lost on me) to wrap around all calls of `lowertext()` and ensure that
whatever we input into that proc will be stringified using the `"[]"`
(or `tostring()` for the nerds) operator. very simple.

I also added a linter to enforce this (and prevent all forms of
regression) because I think that machines should do the menial work and
we shouldn't expect maintainers to remember this, let me know if you
disagree. if there is a time when it should be opted out for some
reason, the linter does respect it if you wrap your input with the
`UNLINT()` function.

## About The Pull Request

#76305 removed the knowledge of every language from silicons, but this
had a couple of oversights.
This language set was not only used by cyborgs but also bots and vending
machines.

A couple of effects relied on them knowing all of those languages,
specifically their emp_act and also the station trait which rerolled
their languages.
Now they actually _learn_ a random language and start speaking it
instead.

Also I fixed a related runtime which I noticed in testing where a bot
would die as a result of being EMPed, delete itself, and then try and do
a bunch more shit after it stopped existing. Annoying.

MrMelbertandGitHub 8c1e35e1c0 Refactors mind language holders into non-existent, fixes new languages being deleted on species swap + tests (#76612)
## About The Pull Request

This PR refactors mind language holders into non-existence

As a result, `update_atom_languages` is no longer necessary

Mind-bound languages are transferred via `/mind/proc/transfer_to`

Species changing no longer deletes and re-creates the mob's language
holder, allowing them to keep any languages they have.

Species languages are sourced from `LANGUAGE_SPECIES` now, meaning they
are removed when they change species. If the mob is not a human with a
species datum, these are effectively just atom level languages.

Makes a bunch of unit tests to ensure language transfer over certain
events works as intended

## Why It's Good For The Game

Mobs with minds having two independent language holders results in a
good few bugs, and simply doesn't make sense when we have sources
(`LANGUAGE_MIND`).

Instead of tracking two language holders, we can simply use sources
better and only track one.

This means that the language holder you start with is your language
holder, period. It doesn't get deleted or re-instantiated or whatever.

## About The Pull Request

1. Default language holders understand GALCOM on their mind, but speak

https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/0a37898f4da161d6f45c209e1f88546e068a64fd/code/modules/language/language_holder.dm#L39-L43

3. Mind get_language_holder, an entirely different proc, makes a default
language holder when it is created

4. Setting species changes your language holder entirely


https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/blob/0a37898f4da161d6f45c209e1f88546e068a64fd/code/datums/dna.dm#L490-L493
 
5. When your mind's default language holder is synced with your body's
species language holder's **ATOM LANGUAGES**, it will clear your
languages of all atom languages and then add in all the new ones. You
will notice that mind sourced languages are untouched. This leaves the
understood-via-mind galcom entry from default language holders there,
despite the mob, say, being unable to otherwise understand galcom.

I've fixed this weird chain of events by having mind language holders
default to your current species language holder or current body language
holder.

This is admittedly, kind of a bandaid. **Mind language holder should not
exist**. Mind sourced languages should just be passed around in mind
swaps as you would expect. But that's a larger refactor.

Closes #76330 , but keeps Silverscales as able to understand but not
speak galcom.
I think it's funny if they can hear the peasants but refuse to stoop to
their language no matter what.

## About The Pull Request

Silicon now only know Common, Uncommon (Humans with Foreigner quirk) and
Robotic.
I also made the indentation in languages consistent because it bugged me

## Why It's Good For The Game

the language system as a whole. There's no real reason to use a language
when anyone potentially understands what you're saying anyways.
2. Players of these non-human Species should be able to use their
language to have hidden discussions in the open (you know, what
languages were meant for), and Silicons should be included in this,
especially since Silicon are generally on Asimov where they do not care
for non-human life, giving non-humans SOMETHING over Silicon would be

Tower of Babel (Curator), Naive (Clown), and Storm detector (Shaft

53433bfbd2 Allows languages to weight the likelihood of certain syllables, refactors certain code related to pick_weight() (#71275)
## About The Pull Request

This PR does the following:
- Defines a new proc in __HELPERS/_lists.dm called
`pick_weight_recursive()`. This is the code from
`/obj/effect/spawner/random/` that allows for nested weighted lists,
moved to its own proc.
- Replaces explicit code in spawners/random.dm with calls to
`pick_weight_recursive()` where appropriate
- Deletes the redundant (and barely used) proc
`/obj/item/loot_table_maker/proc/pick_loot`, as this was equivalent to
`pick_weight_recursive()`
- Moves the global proc `fill_with_ones()` from spawners/random.dm to
__HELPERS/_lists.dm
- Replaces `pick()` in language syllable selection with
`pick_weight_recursive()`, allowing languages to define syllable weights
or use nested lists of syllables.
- Reformats Galactic Common to use nested lists of syllables, allowing
English and Chinese syllables to occur at equal frequency despite having
different numbers of each.

## Why It's Good For The Game

Allowing languages to define syllable weights and nested groups of
syllables is a relatively small change that greatly expands what you can
do with them. In addition to making Galactic Common look nicer in code,
this change also allows for the easy creation of languages with highly
uneven syllable distributions (including ultra-rare secret syllables,
perhaps) or the quick creation of pidgin languages that combine multiple
syllable sets.

Using a new proc simplifies spawner code by reducing repetition. Making
it global allows for other code to easily implement the same flexible
and elegant system of nested lists that spawners already use.

## Changelog
🆑
refactor: defines a new global proc, pick_weight_recursive()
code: languages can weight syllables, and galactic common's definition
is easier to look at

LemonInTheDarkandGitHub 85b2d5043d Optimizes qdel related things (slight init time savings) (#70729)
* Moves spawners and decals to a different init/delete scheme

Rather then fully creating and then immediately deleting these things,
we instead do the bare minimum.

This is faster, if in theory more fragile. We should be safe since any
errors should be caught in compile since this is very close to a
"static" action. It does mean these atoms cannot use signals, etc.

* Potentially saves init time, mostly cleans up a silly pattern

We use sleeps and INVOKE_ASYNC to ensure that handing back turfs doesn't
block a space reservation, but this by nature consumes up to the
threshold and a bit more of whatever working block we were in.

This is silly. Should just be a subsystem, so I made it one, with
support for awaiting its finish if you want to

* Optimizes garbage/proc/Queue slightly

Queue takes about 1.6 seconds to process 26k items right now.
The MASSIVE majority of this time is spent on using \ref
This is because \ref returns a string, and that string requires being
inserted into the global cache of strings we store

What I'm doing is caching the result of ANY \ref on the datum it's
applied to. This ensures previous uses will never decay from the string
tree.

This saves about 0.2 seconds of init

TimandGitHub 09d88b31ee Wizard DLC - Tower of Babel (#69629)
About The Pull Request

This adds a new status effect called - Tower of Babel

Any carbon mob afflicted by the status effect will lose knowledge of every known language and gain a randomized one as a replacement. The affected mob will also be hit with a depressing moodlet that lasts for 15 seconds. Silicons are immune to all effects.

This effect is implemented in several ways:

    Tower of Babel wizard event (all crew on the station z level are affected. The wizard is not and gains mastery of every language to taunt their victims)
    Admin smite option
    Admin secret event (can be reversed)
    Staff of Babel (formerly the Staff of Sapping) will spawn during spawn magic wizard event
    Magicarp will randomly shoot bolts of babel
    Staff of Chaos will randomly shoot bolts of babel
    Overdosing on Mushroom Hallucinogen will temporarily and sporadically acquire the effect

The effect can be blocked or cured in several ways:

    Curators are given immunity
    Reading a book of babel (via lavaland loot) cures and gives immunity
    Reading a language book cures and gives immunity ONLY for that particular language

Note - The Tower of Babel does not allow tongueless, mute, or tongue tied people the ability to speak

GandalfandGitHub 684eab3d31 Converts SFX keys into DEFINES (#65146)
About The Pull Request

Simply converts all instances of soundkeys that use get_sfx from strings into defines.

E.g. "sparks" is now SFX_SPARKS
Why It's Good For The Game

It makes life a lot easier when you're looking for a sound effect. You just type SFX_ and you get suggestions in VSC. Plus, it looks better.
