## About The Pull Request
Two main things.
Multiple instances of use of a proc in AI controllers seemingly assuming
the default behaviour will work for them, but what ends up happening is
`search_tactic` gets redefined and redefined with no defaut search range
parameter, so nothing ends up passed to the `search_tactic` child procs,
so they all call `oview` with `null` and this... somehow doesn't
runtime? Has behaviour that works some of the time??? I hate this
fucking language. Anyway.
Stoat steal items behaviour was completely broken and apparently was not
tested once since it was merged in. I've made the corrections I can, but
I haven't figured out why stoat AI never enters idle, so we have a
behaviour that leads to the stoat running up to an item, grabbing it,
and then just staying there, unmoving. I've sunk too many hours into
this, I'm just going to call it fixed and let someone else figure out
what exciting additions there need to be to a behaviour that was never
functional in the first place.
## Why It's Good For The Game
i don't know man i just want the pain to stop
okay, generally speaking, when people write AI behaviours, they want
those AI behaviours to do something and not just silently fail for six
months or longer
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Stoats have a chance to try and grab items like they always should
have.

## About The Pull Request
Melee attack chain now has a list passed along with it,
`attack_modifiers`, which you can stick force modifiers to change the
resulting attack
This is basically a soft implementation of damage packets until a more
definitive pr, but one that only applies to item attack chain, and not
unarmed attacks.
This change was done to facilitate a baton refactor - batons no longer
hack together their own attack chain, and are now integrated straight
into the real attack chain. This refactor itself was done because batons
don't send any attack signals, which has been annoying in the past (for
swing combat).
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Batons have been refactored again. Baton stuns now properly
count as an attack, when before it was a nothing. Report any oddities,
particularly in regards to harmbatonning vs normal batonning.
refactor: The method of adjusting item damage mid-attack has been
refactored - some affected items include the Nullblade and knives.
Report any strange happenings with damage numbers.
refactor: A few objects have been moved to the new interaction chain -
records consoles, mawed crucible, alien weeds and space vines, hedges,
restaurant portals, and some mobs - to name a few.
fix: Spears only deal bonus damage against secure lockers, not all
closet types (including crates)

## About The Pull Request
Since #90505 added another entry to it the Regal Rat Riot ability, which
turns maintenance creatures into versions loyal to the rat, has become
sort of unmanageable (and to be honest it was a bit gross to start
with).
Instead of having a big if/else list (which was making the same range
check multiple times...) that sets stats on a bunch of mobs, I delegated
it to the mobs themselves and instead of changing some stats of the
existing mobs we just turn them into a new mob which can be spawned or
placed separately by mappers or admins if they want.
Other stuff I changed:
Riot (the ability which transforms mobs into minions) no longer spawns a
mouse if it fails to find anything. Instead you have a chance to fish
mice out of disposals bins while digging out trash and items.
Domain is now a toggle which activates itself every 6 seconds rather
than a button you manually click every 6 seconds.
Riot makes a visual effect when used.
Rare Pepe randomisation is done via a random spawner instead of the mob
modifying a bunch of its own properties in Initialise.
A bunch of mobs now automatically follow you after being tamed. I wrote
this assuming I was going to add it to the rioted mobs but then didn't
end up doing that because you might want them to immediately attack
someone.
My rule of thumb is that if I think you'd want the mob to attack someone
the moment it is befriended I didn't add this and if you wouldn't I did.
I changed some of the regal rat minion names, and some of them can now
spawn from gold slime which couldn't before.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This proc sucked and now it's nicer.
As for the other changes;
- A tamed mob immediately following you is nice feedback and saves you a
click as it's likely to be your first action. Also removes some admin
panel shitcode I added.
- I changed Domain to a toggle because you generally want to use it on
cooldown and someone suggested it on this PR and it sounded like a good
idea.
- I saw someone in Discord complaining that the previous flow of
recruiting rats by hitting Riot with nothing around to summon one,
waiting, hitting it again to convert one rat, and waiting again was
tedious and annoying which I agree with.
This method improves the quality of life by separating these two actions
but _also_ as a side effect reduces a regal rat's ability to secretly
stockpile 50 rats in a hidden maintenance room because most disposal
bins are in slightly more visible areas, they'll actually need to go and
make a mess somewhere someone can see them.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Regal Rats can now grab mice out of disposal bins, and no
longer spawn them with the Riot ability.
balance: The Riot ability no longer needs to be used once for each
slightly different kind of mob in your radius.
balance: The Regal Rat Domain ability is now toggled on and off.
balance: Several kinds of mob will immediately start following you once
tamed.
balance: Rats, hostile frogs, and evil snails can be created via gold
slime reaction.

## About The Pull Request
People can now pet held mothroaches and pugs if they want to, or use
items on them, hopefully without causing many issues. After all, it only
took about a couple dozen lines of code to make...
...Oh, did the 527 files changed or the 850~ lines added/removed perhaps
catch your eye? Made you wonder if I accidentally pushed the wrong
branch? or skewed something up big time? Well, nuh uh. I just happen to
be fed up with the melee attack chain still using stringized params
instead of an array/list. It was frankly revolting to see how I'd have
had to otherwise call `list2params` for what I'm trying to accomplish
here, and make this PR another tessera to the immense stupidity of our
attack chain procs calling `params2list` over and over and over instead
of just using that one call instance from `ClickOn` as an argument. It's
2025, honey, wake up!
I also tried to replace some of those single letter vars/args but there
are just way too many of them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Improving old code. And I want to be able to pet mobroaches while
holding them too.

## About The Pull Request
before, if u wanted to make ur animal hunt for food, u had to give them
the find food subtree, the attacking subtree, and had to edit their
targeting stratedgy to include items. this makes it so u only have to
give them just 1 subtree which will handle everything it needs to. also
makes it alot more customizable, u can now set a hunger cooldown for ur
animals, and cute emotes for them to play after eating food
## Why It's Good For The Game
makes it more convenient for future devs to include food hunting
behaviors to their animals, while also making it more customizable
## Changelog

code: animals' food hunting behavior has been refactored, please report
any bugs

## About The Pull Request
- pet bonus element now works by getting an emote fed into it.
- all pets who had pet bonus emotes now have it as a proper emote they
can use if controlled by a player.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- standardises pet bonus so it's easier to give more behaviors to
petting, like sounds :3
- allows basic mobs controlled by players to use the emote at will,
which will allow them to react to situations more with emotes.
## Changelog

add: a lot of basic mobs and pets got new emotes
refactor: emotes triggered by petting pets work differently now, please
report any oddities with these behaviors.
