so, the current `COMSIG_CARBON_SOUNDBANG` signal is kinda lame because:
1) it's relegated to carbon mobs
2) it means ear protection equipment actually has no effect when
`get_ear_protection` is called instead.
3) It's sent in more than one place in the code
So I replaced it with another signal, this one properly sent in
`get_ear_protection`, and therefore `soundbang_act` as well.
What's also lame is that the code for both `get_ear_protection` and
`soundbang_act` can be easily moved to the living type, and it wouldn't
make a huge impact aside causing simple mobs to be stunned very briefly
by flashbangs since they cannot be knocked down anyway. The less the
code is specific to a subtype, the easier it's to work with, the fewer
the paradigms etc.
Another lame thing is some of the code being kinda old. Also I wanted to
fix an issue with the shriek ling ability detailed in #93401. I wanted
to make the ability more consistent with how other sound-related
abilities work by making it use `soundbang_act`, but with an intensity
higher than any other feature so far, beside point-blank flashbangs
(holding on standing on one). I've also buffed the "ear protection"
offered by vacuums from 1 to 3, meaning nothing but point-blank
flashbangs will go through. Yes, this means shrieks are not good in a
vacuum because sound generally propagate in absence of molecules that
can transmit the vibration... at least IRL. The game's an approximation
anyway, but it's still inconsistent, like a fuckton of other things that
are even more outside of the scope of this PR. Well, at least it affects
simple/basic mobs too now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This will fix#93401 and make some code less old and bad.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: refactored code for ear/soundbang protection. Flashbangs and
other things can now affect simple/basic mobs as well, not just carbon
and occasionally silicons.
balance: Aliens are no longer impervious to soundbang_act. Still very
resistant to it due to their hardcoded ear protection
balance: How the resonant shriek changeling ability works is now
slightly more consistent with the ear/soundbang protection, meaning it
won't work well in a vacuum, but at least it works on simple mobs now.
fix: Everyone can now hear a changeling shriek, unless they're already
deafened or in a vacuum.

## About The Pull Request
1. Hallucination effects are now tiered
Hallucinations now all have tiers, ranging from common to special.
If you are just hallucinating a teeny bit, you will not experience the
more extreme hallucinations, like bubblegum or your mom.
But if you're hallucinating off your butt, you will be a bit more likely
to experience them.
2. Hallucination rate has been tweaked
Default hallucination cooldown is now 20-80 seconds, up from 10-60
seconds.
However the cooldown will *also* vary depending on just how much you're
hallucinating, going down to 10-40 seconds.
3. RDS is now capped a bit lower (meaning you don't see the higher tiers
like bubblegum).
But I added a preference to uncap it. For the people who actually like
bubblegum visits.
4. If a hallucination fails to trigger, the cooldown will partially
reset. (by 75%)
5. "Fake chat" hallucination will pick more viable subjects.
Fake chat will try to find someone who can actually speak your language,
rather than make a monkey speak mothic or something.
(I may revisit this so if you're super-hallucinating it reverts to old
behavior though.)
6. Adds a hallucination: Fake blood
You hallucinate that you start bleeding, very simple.
7. Adds a hallucination: Fake telepathy
You hallucinate a random telepathic message, similar to fake chat.
8. Adds a hallucination: Eyes in the Dark
A nearby dark turf will have a set of glowing red eyes shine through the
dark. A classic.
9. Adds some new sub-hallucination: PDA ringtone (fake sound), summon
guns/magic (fake item)
Funny prank.
10. Makes mindbreaker a bit more effective at combating RDS.
Pretty much does nothing right now unless you gulp like 50u.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Hallucinations are pretty one note if you experience them for longer
than 10 minutes.
This is due to two fold:
- Many hallucinations are goofy, and not subtle
- Hallucinations trigger very rapidly
You will never fall for a hallucination because in between "You see John
Greytide put the blueprints away", you get your mom yelling at you,
everyone looking like syndies (again), and bubblegum
This pr addresses it by
- Limiting the wacky hallucinations for when you're really off your
gourd
- Reducing the period between triggers
- Adding a few hallucinations
If the wackier hallucinations are reserved for when you're really off
your rocker, this lets the more subtle ones sink in over time, leaves
more room for second guessing
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
add: Adds 4-5 new hallucinations. Collect them all.
balance: If you are only hallucinating a little bit, the game will
prefer to pick more subtle hallucinations. If you are hallucinating a
ton, it will prefer the more wacky hallucinations.
balance: If you are only hallucinating a little bit, the cooldown
between hallucinations is longer. If you are hallucinating a ton, it
will be shorter.
balance: If a hallucination fails to trigger (such as a deaf person
getting a sound hallucination) the next one will be a lot sooner.
balance: RDS hallucination amount is capped at mid tier hallucinations.
This means bubblegum and co. will be a lot rarer, or will even never
show. HOWEVER, there is now a preference allowing you to uncap your RDS
hallucinations.
balance: Mindbreaker toxin is more effective at suppressing RDS.
balance: Some hallucinations effects have been tweaked up or down
according to the new thresholds. Madness mask as an example.
fix: "Fake Fire" Hallucination works again, and now has a unique message
for if you stop-drop-roll that other people see.

## About The Pull Request
As the title says. Adds a bunch more stat changes to various different
items and a somewhat simple way of modifying them whilst minimizing
side-effects as much as possible.
Added a new negative curse of polymorph suffix that can randomly
polymorph you once you pick up the item.
Curse of hunger items won't start on items that are not on a turf.
Curse of polymorph will only activate when equipped.
Bodyparts, two-handed melees, bags, guns and grenades, to name a few,
have a bunch of type-specific stat changes depending on their quality.
Some items won't gain fantasy suffixes during the RPG loot event, like
stacks, chairs and paper, to make gamifying the stats a bit harder.
I'm sure there'll still be other ways to game the event, but it's not
that big of a deal since these are the easiest ways to game it.
High level items also have a cool unusual effect aura
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes the RPG item event cooler. Right now, it's a bit lame since
everything only gains force value and wound bonus on attack. This makes
the statistic increases more type-based and make it interesting to use
It's okay for some items to be powerful since this is a wizard event and
a very impactful one too. By making the curse of hunger items not spawn
on people, it'll also make it a less painful event too.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Expanded the RPG loot wizard event by giving various different
items their own statistic boost.

## About The Pull Request
You know the deal by now.
- Drowsiness is now tracked via status effect.
- Eye blue is now tracked via status effect.
In converting these over, cleaned up a bit of code relating to some
other effects. Attempts to unify behavior between some of them, namely
certain biotypes or mob types shouldn't be experiencing certain effects.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More stuff moved to status effects, slightly more cleaner and better to
work with code. Allows for all mobs that can sleep to be able to get
drowsy, too.

Refactors the confusion status effect. Removes "confusion strength" and replaces it with duration, which is measured in seconds.
This also allows them to use the adjust_timed_status_effect procs instead of their own.
Fun fact! 2 years ago when confusion was refactored into status effects, all confusion effects in the game were halved in duration. They were changed to status effects, which tick every 1 second by default, from life, which tick every 2 seconds by default, without any values changing.
* Refactors dizziness into a status effect
* Refactors the dizziness setter to use the new kind
* Drunkness.
- Should drunk continue to work off of a magic value or be swapped to duration? I've not yet decided: For understandability it's preferabale for "drunk" to use a timer (they are drunk for 3 more minutes), but both adding drunk and decreasing drunk currently use weird calculations which would be difficult to carry over.

Adds a variable to tell whether a grenade can't detonate properly.
Examining can be used to tell if the grenade has already been used.
A flag on it is set when the grenade detonates so that used grenades can't be reused until it's reset.
It also prevents spamming admins with grenade primed messages since there's no point if the grenade won't work.
* Changes dud var to dud flags.
Changes the name of the dud var to dud_flags to clarify that it is a set of bitfields.
Changes the default value of the dud var to NONE also to clarify that it is a set of bitfields.
Changes the documentation for the dud var to clarify that it is a set of bitfields.
* Fixes eternally armed dud grenades.
Makes the grenades reset their appearance if they reach the end of their fuse while a dud.
Prevents chemical grenades from staying in the 'i am armed' visual state forever.
Creates two procs in /mob/status_procs for handling drowsiness changes (with check for negative values), and refactors all code to use these procs instead of assigning values to the mob's drowsiness themselves.
Converts most spans into span procs. Mostly used regex for this and sorted out any compile time errors afterwards so there could be some bugs.
Was initially going to do defines, but ninja said to make it into a proc, and if there's any overhead, they can easily be changed to defines.
Makes it easier to control the formatting and prevents typos when creating spans as it'll runtime if you misspell instead of silently failing.
Reduces the code you need to write when writing spans, as you don't need to close the span as that's automatically handled by the proc.
(Note from Lemon: This should be converted to defines once we update the minimum version to 514. Didn't do it now because byond pain and such)
Done using this command sed -Ei 's/(\s*\S+)\s*\t+/\1 /g' code/**/*.dm
We have countless examples in the codebase with this style gone wrong, and defines and such being on hideously different levels of indentation. Fixing this to keep the alignment involves tainting the blames of code your PR doesn't need to be touching at all. And ultimately, it's hideous.
There are some files that this sed makes uglier. I can fix these when they are pointed out, but I believe this is ultimately for the greater good of readability. I'm more concerned with if any strings relied on this.

Grenades have, for the longest time, used the proc name preprime() to refer to arming a timed grenade so that it will boom in a few seconds, and prime() to refer to the grenade actually going boom (or releasing foam or anything else grenades do when they go off). This was very confusing, so now these two procs are called arm_grenade() and detonate().
Sparks no longer lag, projectile beams move super smoothly, same with mobs and whatnot. This also allows for easy expansion into directional lights, field-of-view, wee-woo rotating lights or whatever.
It does have a downside: things right-clicked or checked through the alt+click tab will show the light overlay:
This is a BYOND limitation, very well worth it IMO.
🆑
add: Smooth movable lighting system implemented. Projectiles, sparks, thrown flashlights or moving mobs with lights should be much smoother and less laggy.
balance: Light sources no longer stack in range, though they still do in intensity.

About The Pull Request
It annoyed me that we have a perfectly good frag grenade item, and a perfectly good shrapnel component, but no crossover episode between the two. This remedies that, and does a lot, lot more.
dreamseeker_2020-03-30_05-01-13.png
dreamseeker_2020-03-30_05-01-26.png
Big points:
Adds new component: pellet_cloud, which can be used by ammo casings, guns, and landmines to spray shrapnel and display aggregate hit messages ("You're hit by 6 buckshot pellets!" vs "You're hit by the buckshot pellet in the X" x6). All gun ammo that shoot multiple pellets now use this component on firing.
Adds stingbangs, premium less-lethal grenades that shoot off lots of stinger pellets, to cargo. Frag grenades are also reworked to have smaller booms, but shoot off lots of shrapnel shards. You can jump on top of these grenades to absorb a portion of the shrapnel to save those around you! There's an achievement for dying this way, called "Look Out, Sir!"
Projectiles can now embed items/shrapnel. Adds .38 DumDum ammo to cargo that does less damage and has negative armor pen, but can embed in people. This is the only ammo that currently embeds.
Bullets can now ricochet off walls, structures, and machinery (harder surfaces are more likely to ricochet). Only standard .38 and Match Grade .38/.357/L6 ammo can ricochet, with Match Grade being much better at ricocheting. You can buy Match Grade .38 from cargo and Match Grade L6 ammo from the nuke uplink, while Match .357 is admin only.
Armor now protects you from harmful embeds, taking the better of the bullet/bomb armor on the affected limb. Armor penetration can modify this of course, and many blunt embeds like stingbangs and DumDum bullets are significantly worse if you have even 1 armor.
Other misc fixes/changes
Refactored the embed element a bunch and fixed it creating new elements for every instance rather than expected bespoke behavior. There are new /obj/item helpers for modifying and adding embedding.
Fixes#49989: Spears can no longer embed in turfs cause their sprite is annoying to me, it's generally harder for most things to embed in turfs
Fixes#49741: New carbon helpers for removing embedded objects
Fixes#46416: Handles embedded objects getting qdel'd or moved while embedded
Renamed the old shrapnel component for RPG loot to MIRV to avoid confusion
Repathed frag grenades from under minibombs to under base grenades, and added explosion vars to base grenades
Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes a bunch of janky design with embeds, adds lots of new avenues for projectile and grenade variety, ricochets and collateral damage are fun!
Changelog
🆑 Ryll/Shaps
add: Adds stingbangs to cargo (and one in the sec vendor premium), premium less-lethal grenades that shoot off a giant swarm of stingball pellets to help incapacitate swarms of people in tight quarters. You can jump on top of a live one to be a hero and absorb a bunch of shrapnel, same with frag grenades. There's even an achievement for dying to a grenade you jumped on!
add: Projectiles can now embed in people! Or at least grenade shrapnel and the new .38 DumDum ammo, now available in cargo, can. DumDum rounds excel against unarmored targets, but are pricey and do poorly against armored targets.
add: Bullets can now ricochet! Or at least, standard .38 and the new .38/L6 Match Grade ammo can. Match Grade ammo is finely tuned to ricochet easier and seek targets off bounces better, and can be purchased from cargo (for the .38) or nuke ops uplink (for the L6), but standard .38 ammo has a chance to ricochet as well.
tweak: Frag grenades now have smaller explosions but shoot off a bunch of devastating shrapnel, excellent for soft targets!
tweak: Shotguns and other multi-pellet guns now print aggregate messages, so you'll get one "You've been hit by 6 buckshot pellets!" rather than 6 "You've been hit by the buckshot pellet in the X!" messages. Bye bye lag!
balance: Armor can now protect against embedding weapons, taking the best of either the bullet or bomb armor for the limb in question away from the embed chance. Some weapons are better at piercing armor than others!
/🆑
Adds a hypnotic flashbang, disguised as a regular flashbang, to the traitor/nuke op uplink. Pretty much an AoE one-use hypnotic flash, but it doesn't require weakening the targets as long as they can be affected by the sound of the grenade, since it causes minor hallucinations.
Why It's Good For The Game
Effectively this is a non-lethal, non-destructive chaos-making tool. Even without the hypnosis it's a better flashbang; if everything goes right you've got a roomful of followers obeying your orders, but on the other hand something might go wrong, and then Poly is the one with the roomful of followers.
Changelog
🆑
add: Added a hypnotic flashbang to the uplink for 12 TC. It can hypnotize people much like a hypnoflash, and the sound will automatically make victims vulnerable to the trance.
