blood worms, please.

## 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.

Roxy d84a87f668 Rewrites to fix compiler errors on 516.1670+ (#93801)
## About The Pull Request

Fixes all instances of numbers being used as assoc list keys in things
that aren't alists, either by turning them into alists or changing the
keys to something else. Also adds new macros to support creating global
alists, as a few global lists became alists. Most of these are pretty
simple and self-explanatory but
- The GLOB.huds one necessitated rewriting because code depended on it
being a non-assoc list, which it technically was because the defines it
used as keys were numbers so BYOND turned it into a regular list, most
of this was for loops through all the subtypes of
`/datum/atom_hud/data/diagnostic` of which there's only one, so I just
changed it to get that type directly by key
- NT Frontier used number indexes which it looped through for some
reason and also passed to TGUI, changed these to strings and adjusted
the TGUI to match, I tested this and it works fine

## Why It's Good For The Game

Makes the code compile, I couldn't test everything but I tried to check
all usages of affected vars to make sure they wouldn't break from being
switched to alists, a TM might be in order just to be sure nothing's
fucked

refactor: rewrote all cases of numbers being used as keys in non-alist
associative lists

MrMelbert 80069f4830 Increase repo default max number of traitors spawned roundstart (#92478)
## About The Pull Request

Repo default max traitors upped from

1 per 38 players (up to 2 traitors at 50 pop, up to 3 traitors at 80
pop)

to

1 per 24 players (up to 3 traitors at 50 pop, up to 4 traitors at 80
pop)

Note: The ruleset can be executed twice or even thrice depending on RNG,
meaning a particularly chaotic round may spawn with up to 6/9 traitors
at 50 pop (and more may be added via midrounds and latejoins).

## Why It's Good For The Game

#67823 changed this number

This was done because dynamic would force spawn midround traitor IF any
midround ruleset failed to execute. But dynamic no longer does that. So
this value should be reverted.

MrMelbert 4c277dc572 Dynamic Rework (#91290)
## About The Pull Request

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.

## Why It's Good For The Game

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
