## About The Pull Request
`create_from_ghost` can be called from stuff like... dynamic executing a
ruleset, so putting a sleep/user input within it causes problems
So I refactored ghost spawns a fair bit, creating a clear delineation
between where you can and can't put user input
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Pirates will no longer randomly spawn as human
fix: Servant Golems have numbered names again
refactor: Refactored ghost spawns (like spider eggs or pirate spawners),
report any oddities

## About The Pull Request
When take a ghost role from a ghost role sleeper, if you became a ghost
by observing you will be offered the opportunity to spawn in as your
static. Obviously if you joined the round normally or have already
spawned in as a ghost role you won't be prompted. No cloning yourself
allowed.
Not every ghost role allows this, and you won't get the prompt if your
static is a race that breathes plasma (basically just those purple
skeletons) because that opens up a giant can of worms. However, you
_will_ get the prompt if you are playing as any other race. (I'm pretty
sure every ghost role has power for ethereals besides ashwalkers but
that's not one of the ghost roles that lets you spawn as your static for
super obvious reasons)
Some ghost roles, like pirates, will allow you to spawn in as your
static but overwrite your name.

## About The Pull Request
a spooky special possession pr for october appears~~
(This is just some code cleanup)
Before, some procs had the `mob_possessor` arg, and some didn't. Which
made it a nightmare to add more positional args to it down the line.
This PR just ensures that all positional args are present in all the
instances of the proc.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes this proc chain slightly less of a mess to deal with.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a food truck.
Also, adds a team of MI13 fugitive hunters. There's 3 in a team, and one
is pre-equipped with a cunning disguise.
## Why It's Good For The Game
So the primary intent here is making a fugitive hunter team that
operates stealthily instead of directly. They have less direct combat
power than other hunters, but they have a few things that help them
infiltrate the crew and assassinate the fugitives.
All agents are issued a makarov, a suppressor, a spare clip of 9mm ammo
(20% chance to be a subtype), a random melee weapon (flash, e-dagger or
combat knife), and a random low-level syndicate gadget (c4 brick,
codespeak manual, freedom implant, etc), and a pair of zipties. Every
agent also gets a agent ID.
Shuttle is equipped with surgery tools (good for plastic surgery),
clothing vendors (good for getting disguised), and a bunch of computers
for cameras and vitals monitors. Spare cyanide pills and 9mm ammo is
provided, as is a single space suit. As an added bonus, you're
opereating out of the back of an old food truck giving you bulletproof
cover for your operations. Spare food is provided, a functional kitchen
is not.
## Changelog

add: Ghost role food truck merchants may occasionally turn up at the
station.
add: Adds a new fugitive hunter type, MI13 secret agents.

## About The Pull Request
I've stumbled across this enough to finally go through the entire
codebase and fix it. I left out changelogs simply because rewriting
history logs is bad.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I find it pretty annoying because I stumble across words that are
misspelled for a few seconds, and I'm likely not the only one who feels
like this. Less spelling mistakes in code are better.
## Changelog
🆑
spellcheck: Occurrences of "recieve" has been changed to "receive".

## About The Pull Request
This standardizes fugitive hunter IDs, making all hunter packs use the
same subtype and giving them to hunters who would spawn with no ID at
all.
The badass flaming ID color that the OG Bounty Hunter team got are now
the standard for fugitive hunter IDs. Additionally, these IDs now come
with a radical skull trim.
(Spacepol Officers don't get the badass flaming skull ID, and instead
get a more modest Police Officer ID).
**These IDs come with access, too. Airlocks, bolt buttons, shuttle
controls, and shutters on all of the hunter shuttles now require a
hunter's ID to operate.**
While I was in the area doing mapping stuff to get the accesses in
place, I made a few other very minor changes to the shuttles. These
include:
- The Bounty Hunter shuttle now has an oxygen dispenser. Two walls have
been moved to make space.
- The Russian Hunter shuttle now gets enough oxygen tanks to share with
everyone.
- The Psyker Hunter spawners now have proper spawner menu text. This was
due to duplicate-but-not-really subtypes existing, and me mistakenly
putting the wrong ones there in a previous PR.
- The cut ai wire helpers from the Russian/Psyker shuttles have been
extended to the Bounty/Spacepol shuttles.
- Every hunter shuttle now has a shuttle pinpointer on it somewhere, and
is no longer exclusive to a single Bounty Hunter's loadout.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Some of the hunter IDs would spawn without trims or coloration, and some
hunters wouldn't spawn with IDs at all. Now, everyone gets a credible,
cool-looking ID that lets everyone know what you're here to do at a
glance.
One of these is a crazed larper with an unregistered firearm, the other
is a certified bounty hunter.
As for the hunter access, it's pretty nonsensical that anyone can just
walk into the hunter ship and set up shop. At least the pirates get
turrets! Not to mention, it's hard to balance or give hunters new
equipment in good conscience when their entire domain is public-access
and anything they can't carry is considered forfeit to the crew. Now it
can be used as a base of operations, storage area, etc. more securely.
Locking down the shuttle with accesses isn't going to stop a determined
gamer with a toolset, but it'll at least make it more interesting and an
actual risk. If the fugitives want to try and loot/hijack the shuttle,
it will require the effort of taking down one of their hunters first.
While hunters stand out for the differences/imbalances between each
group, I don't see the shuttle pinpointer as something that contributes
positively to the OG bounty hunter's uniqueness. There's no reason why
the other hunters shouldn't also be able to track their ship.
## About The Pull Request
Fugitive Hunter spawning now works a lot more like it does for Pirates.
Rather than just using the spawners, it collects candidates from a ghost
poll, and leaves the remaining spawners to be used if any are left.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The only way this event gathered candidates was through the
notify_ghosts that hunter spawners threw on Initialize(). This easily
flies under the radar (and I think also stopped working after
lazyloading was implemented??), contributing to how infrequently hunter
rolls are taken.
The hunters are an important part of fugitives as a whole, so making
sure they're properly filled out is good.
Closes#74625.
## Changelog

properly.
/🆑
This PR demotes the Psyker-gang from a pirate team to a fugitive hunting
team. For more information on Psyker pirates, please refer to #71650.
Stuff this also does in the process:
- Gives fugitive hunters their own subfolder in the fugitives antagonist
folder, moves some of their stuff into hunter-specific files rather than
interlacing it with the rest of the fugitive code.
- Moves the hunter backstories to defines, to make reading things easier
while I made this change.
- Exhaustively moves everything related to psykers from being
pirate-oriented to hunter-oriented (typepaths, locations where stuff is
defined, etc. There should be nothing left behind related to psykers in
anything pirate related). (Tell me if I missed anything somehow).
They still get their ship (they even get their own custom
psyker-friendly prisoner capsule). They still have a bunch of lethally
chambered firearms. They're the same gunrunning nutcases they were
before, just as bounty hunters.
To assist with basic tasks such as "getting to the station" or "figuring
out who the fuck we're supposed to be kidnapping", the psykers have
"acquired" a Seer to assist them. They can _try_ to coordinate the
psykers and lead them through situations where their impairments put
them at too great a disadvantage. If you're one of the psykers, make
sure to keep this guy alive at all costs!
Why are they called Shikaris instead of hunters? Mariam-Webster says
it's a Hindi word for some kind of hunter/tracker, and it sounded like
something a bunch of space-junkies would call themselves because they
think it sounds cool.
They now also come with a slightly different motivation, now that they
can't directly threaten the crew for money. Psyker hunters now arrive
tasked with a dirty kidnapping job, payment rendered in GORE.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Psykers aren't up to the challenge of being pirates. They're bogged down
by a number of fundamental issues that render them unable to do anything
expected of pirates. As it currently stands, they present about as much
threat as you would expect from three blind junkies with guns.
Removing them wholesale would be kind of lame. They can function as a
bunch of chaotic-neutral gun-toting space-maniacs, but for the purposes
of gameplay, keeping them as pirates would be a waste of their talents.
Moving them to a lower-stakes role not only moves them to a niche they
are more capable of filling, but gives players a more lax environment to
get a grip on playing psyker without being overwhelmed.
Giving them a seeing-eye role should bring a more unique dynamic to how
psykers are played (that is, some semblance of organization rather than
blind flailing), and should help get over the mechanical hurdles of
being a psyker until better solutions can be made. It shouldn't be too
big of an impact on balance considering the psyker gang only has three
spawns, while most hunter packs have 4+.
## About The Pull Request
Quite a lot of mobs had faction defines as a string, which always has a
chance for error. For example, the clown mob spawner had their faction
written as "clown", when the official faction name was "clowns", and a
define existed for it anyways! This PR moves every single string based
factions over here. No references or special role factions. Hopefully I
didn't miss anything.
I also moved a global define used for picking your uplink provider's
flavour to the only file that used it, datum_traitor.dm, and renamed
them a bit to avoid confusion.
I have also noticed that the mimic faction was assigned to the petrified
player with += instead of |=. |= would ensure no duplicate factions, so
I have changed it.
Future improvement:
I have noticed that there is a lot of bloat with factions that contain
only one or two entries (examples: gnomes, floating eyeballs, penguins,
the pet lizards), and some always appear in pairs (vines and plants, the
rare exceptions being killer tomatoes and strange reagent spawned pine
trees), but trimming consolidating them is a matter for a different
time.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes assigning factions a bit less error prone.
I can finally remove the ```/// Later all mob factions will be moved
here and their current factions replaced with faction defines.```
comment. Later is NOW.

About The Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing Shining Mob Spawn Refactor
The Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing Shining Mob Spawn Refactor is my attempt to clean up the file structure, the code, and the type tree for mob spawns.
Splits mob spawn types into corpses (dead spawns) and ghost roles (living spawns you can possess). The vars that didn't make sense for corpses and vice versa for ghost roles are now appropriately there
Because of above, there are no longer the fucking "death, roundstart, and instant" vars. thank god
Removes a lot of single or very few used vars, whose properties can be applied on special().
All Mob Spawns are given fitting folders instead of just being stuck in a single ghost roles file. Corpses are in the corpse folder, Ghost Roles are in the ghost role folder. Only exception are drones which should stay near their respective homes
Just generally cleaner all around you know
spider structures file renamed to spiderwebs now that spider eggs are gone
