## About The Pull Request
Port of https://github.com/shiptest-ss13/Shiptest/pull/3330
Partial port of https://github.com/shiptest-ss13/Shiptest/pull/1601
Makes two changes to how guns handle recoil.
- Changes recoil from an erratic shaking to a kicking of your screen
relative to your firing angle
- Adds a small cosmetic recoil to all ballistics (with an accompanying
pref option to tweak or disable it)
Primary recoil still is only used as a balance lever for a very small
handful of guns (and sawoff)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cosmetic recoil makes guns feel a lot more punchier. People who think
its a competitive disadvantage (nerds/loosers) or people with a
legitimate sickness to screen shake or similar can just turn it off.
Old recoil was just reused explosion, while new recoil feels like its
actually recoil
## About The Pull Request
Extends the part of the crafting unit test that ensures consistency
between the total mats of the components of a recipe (or rather, the
result of said recipe) and a generic instance of the same type as its
result, previously only implemented on food recipes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This ensures a degree of consistency with the material composition of
various objects in the game. I couldn't do it in the original PR as that
one was too big already and it took months to get it merged, and have
the relative bugs fixed.
Currently a WIP as I slowly deal with the unit test reports.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Follow-up to the crafting/material refactor from months ago.
All objects crafted with stacks now inherit their mat composition (not
necessarily the effects and color) by default, while previously only a
few things like chair, sinks and toilets did. Report any object looking
or behaving weirdly as a result.
fix: The material composition of ammo boxes is no longer a 1/10 of what
it's supposed to be. It was a shitty hack to make it harder to recycle
empty ammo boxes. Instead, they lose materials as they're emptied now.

## About The Pull Request
Closes#93635
`unique_reskin` is no longer a list on `/item`, now `/datum/atom_skin`
The actual reskinning behavior has been moved out to
`/datum/component/reskinable_item`
PKC reskinning is now handled via alt-click reskin, rather than via the
retooling kit. The retooling kit has been removed.
There's no limit on how many times you can reskin your PKC (though
perhaps we limit it to one reskin and keep the retooling kit as a way to
allow a miner to reskin it a second time?)
The Ashen Skull unique reskin is still a trophy, and instead unlocks its
unique reskin option in the alt-click radial.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I'm unsure why the retooling kit exists on its own, when it's relatively
cheap and just performs the behavior of alt-click reskinning.
So to keep it consistent with all other forms of reskinning I've just
made it baseline. To accomplish that I refactored reskinning.
The new form of reskinning allows for greater potential in adding
reskins, allowing far more than just an icon state change. Also we can
put it on turfs and mobs and structures now which is cool I guess
There's also the added benefit of being able to see an item's reskins
without needing to instantiate it, which the loadout menu uses to great
effect.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Refactored item reskinning (the alt-click way), report any
oddities with that
del: Deleted the crusher retool kit, now you can just reskin your
crusher with alt-click. The Skull skin is still locked behind having the
Ashen Skull trophy applied.

## About The Pull Request
Due to 'fire_delay = 8', when pump racking a riot shotgun (with a live
shotgun bullet in it) it will instead melee when you try to point blank
shoot at someone.
This PR fixes that by blocking melee, on the condition that you pump
racked the riot shotgun and it is about to be ready to fire.
You still melee with LMB if you have no ammo pump racked/didn't pump
rack the shotgun, and if you have ammo pump racked, you can use RMB as
intended.
tldr Melee combat functionality for riot shotgun remains unchanged, the
PR only fixes the unintentional melee attack.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
I don't think these are obtainable through normal gameplay, these guns
are ballistic weapons designed to emulate laser guns, except with a
swappable "battery".
It had the wrong bolt type, which caused problems. It chambered rounds
so it could fire a shot without a battery in it, and worse when it
emptied its chamber and didn't have a new round to load in, the gun
would unrack itself. There is no way to re-rack this gun so at that
point it is made permanantly useless. Now it fires directly from the
clip without chambering anything or caring about whether or not it is
racked. This stops it getting stuck, stops you being able to fire the
gun when there's no power pack loaded, and simplifies ammo management
which makes it feel more like an energy weapon. Even if it isn't really
one.

## About The Pull Request
So, while working on #93275 I've noticed that suspiciously none of the
projectiles made impact messages, the only ones I could see in chat were
wounds, not hits. Turns out that because guns, for whatever ungodly
reason, have been storing their suppression state and their suppressor
in the same variable presumably since their inception, instead of
SUPPRESSED_NONE (0) projectiles were assigned null, or if suppressed by
an item the suppressor itself, both of which were treated as
SUPPRESSED_VERY by impact message logic and skipped actually sending any
messages to players' chats.
I've split the variables and put suppressor onto ballistics (which are
the only user of said mechanic), so now projectiles should actually
inform players that they/someone nearby have been hit with a bullet.

## About The Pull Request
### Bows deal more damage.
Increases the baseline damage of the shortbow to 25, and the divine bow
to 30.
The divine bow also launches arrows at a higher velocity than normal
bows.
### Flaming arrows have sprites now, and deal burning damage. Oh, and
actually do reasonable damage.

I'm not at all skilled at animation but at least it has an actual,
visible sprite now.
I completely overlooked the fact this did 20 damage when I changed bows
to use damage multipliers. Oops.
### Ashen Bow and Ashen Arrows
Made from sinew, bone and for the bow specifically, leather. The bow is
largely identical to a shortbow, but the arrow has mining bane. If you
feel like hunting megafauna with a bow, this is your means of doing so.

Which in of itself took assets from

The functionality is entirely new. I also did some sprite edits.
### Arrow quivers are made from wood.
Iunno, this was really weird to me. Cardboard seems like a poor quiver
material.
### Other Stuff
Shortbows and ashen bows have the ability to be renamed.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Bows are fun, but kind of middling. They're a lot slower to fire than
the vast majority of ranged weapons, and don't really have enough oomph
in their own right to intimidate people being shot by them.
This is even true of the divine bow, which is the chaplain's version.
Because of how slowly it fires and how little damage it does, the
chances of actually killing someone who poses any real threat to you
with it is pretty laughable. This is not true of the nullrod that you
sacrificed to get this weapon. 30 damage is within the ballpark of
chaplain weapons and their potential damage in some contexts. A slow to
attack weapon probably should have a more impactful hit when considering
your alternative options.
The ashen bow is mostly because I really want to go fauna hunting with
entirely bone-based weaponry. Does this mean some ashwalkers might be
putting arrows into you from afar? Yes. Does this sound fun? Yes. Is
this especially strong? Not really. Miners out damage these bows by a
significant margin, and their armor is usually good enough where they're
not at risk from arrows sticking into them or hurting them very much.
This is also a degree more effort to make than other weapons because of
the leather requirement and the need to kill several fauna for the
materials. The outcomes should be more fun than the costs.

Hi hello. This PR adds the ability to attach seclights to most security

Below is a picture with them attached, but off.

Below is an image with the lights on:

the offsets to, be my guest.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Well, for starters, we can easily attach seclights to disablers, energy
guns, advanced egun, the X01 energy gun, but we cant attach them to
other weapons. Why? Balance? I dont see how its unbalanced for a secoff

Adds 2 new species: Spirits and Ghosts
Spirits are available roundstart during Halloween, Wabbajack and
Xenobio's black slime extract
Ghosts are available through Magic mirrors
They fly around, and don't have legs and instead float around. They also
can't get legs implanted onto themselves.
They also do have organs, so they are affected by flashbangs, they do
get hungry, they do need oxygen to survive (they don't take damage in
space but they do suffocate & get slowdown), and can process chems.
Gibbing a ghost gives ectoplasm, an ingredient for ghost burgers.
Chaplains also got a buff here, null rod-type weapons' bane is now
against Spirit mobs, rather than hardcoded revenants. This means it now
includes Spirits/Ghosts, but also Soulscythes & Cult shades.
Also re-adds https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/81630 which was
reverted in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/86506 which I
assume was accidental.
Ghosts have an innate ability to become incorporeal, which allows them
to phase through walls and stuff. Using this will immediately make them
drop any non-ghost limb/organ (not implants cause I thought it would be
funny). This ability is not available if they have holy water in their
system, and like revenants they also can't walk over blessed tiles with
it. They are also invisible to cameras while using this (not the obscura
though).
Sprites taken from observers directly, if anyone wants to make custom
sprites for them feel free. If anyone wants to make this obtainable
somehow in-game as well I wouldn't be opposed, halloween is just where I
thought it would fit most.
This also adds a lot of fixes that I encountered trying to add this,
from systems that have been neglected throughout the years.

This is a big one so please bear with me, wounds are complicated
We've decreased the max contributed damage to wound rolls from 35 to 25.
This results, after the exponent, a max possible wound roll of 1 to 91
before any modifiers (assuming the attack, after armor, is 25 or above).
The minimum value to wound is still 5.
Most wounds were contributing significant numbers per wound type to the
potential for a new wound to occur. Getting wounded once meant you were
getting wound a lot, but actually getting past that first wounding may
be the tricky part.
We have significantly reigned in the wound penalty that having a wound
contributes, and instead utilize the series wound penalty to allow same
type wounds to escalate themselves faster as a priority. Having wounds
still makes you more wound vulnerable, just not to such an extreme
degree.
The priority here for what wounds matter most for contributing to
overall wounding vulnerability is ``Infected BURNS > BURNS >
SLASH|PIERCE > BLUNT.``
Wound armor, unlike all other kinds of armor, was used as a additive
value to the wound roll modifiers rather than a multiplicative value.
We have reworked how wound armor is determined by changing how wound
modifiers are calculated.
Firstly, we're passing our entire injury roll into the
``check_woundings_mod()`` proc, as we're not treating this as a proc
that just adds values anymore.
Secondly, bare wound bonus only applies if there is no potential wound
protection from any source, as expected. But it comes last in the
calculations.
Thirdly, wound protection is applied to the injury roll last, after
wound bonuses from the attack, wound bonuses from other wounds and wound
bonuses from a disabled limb are applied. This does not include serial
wound bonuses, which are determined outside of this proc.
Wound protection comes from two sources. Clothing and limb wound
resistance. Your chest and head have an amount of wound resistance so
long as they are not mangled in any fashion. Being mangled means having
either a hairline fracture or a weeping avulsion wound.
Wound protection reduces the final injury roll by a percentage. Say our
roll is 50, and we have effectively 50% wound protection. The final roll
would be 25.
~~Most clothing have had their wound armor values changed. As a loose
rule, I used the highest of melee or bomb armor, except where that value
was 100, in which case I used the lowest instead. I'm basing this
decision on how embeds are calculated, which is attack type agnostic.~~
~~Some armor have inconsistent values because they are alternative
armors to an existing armor type or are hyperspecialized armor.
Ablative, bulletproof and security vests all share a value of 35,
despite the former two not having decent melee or bomb armor.~~
~~Some clothing missing wound armor that should have had them now have
wound armor.~~
~~This may need a bit of scrutiny in case one or two seem weirdly high.
Some have maybe become too low. Its a bit hard to say.~~
I changed it to ``exposed_wound_bonus`` to better represent when it
applies. You can be naked and still not be affected by this bonus if the
limb has wound resistance.
I'm not promising anything with this PR, but this is an attempt to
sanity check the values on wounds so that we're not seeing what the data
that determined the removal of beheading presented. An extreme
over-representation of tier 3 wounds. ~~And, from that, maybe I can
argue for beheadings coming back. That's my goal. I think beheadings
happened so much because the numbers were in need of work.~~ Well okay I
just wanna make wounds a bit more workable actually more than I want
beheadings.
Why is it that tier 3 wounds were so over-represented? Because wounds
will often force more severe wounds of other types by merit of any
wounds existing at all on a limb. Having **_a_** wound makes you more
wound prone for any kind of wound, and not just making you more likely
to suffer a more severe type of the same wound.
The threshold mechanic was intended to simulate making a wound worse,
but oddly just made a limb broadly more prone to getting worse from any
kind of attack to such a degree that future wound rolls of different
types were often going to start at the threshold necessary to be a tier
3 wound.
Dismemberment, mind you, requires you to suffer a flesh wound while you
have a bone wound of tier 2 or higher (with tier 3 giving a bonus to
this). You can do this readily via just a sharp weapon, because having a
mangled limb causes the wound to turn into a bone wound. Technically,
this is meant to be less likely as the effective damage for this wound
is halved. But the wound bonus from having a flesh wound was almost
always significant enough to kick your new bone wound up to a tier 3.
In other words; its not surprising that you saw so many beheadings,
because the system wanted to behead you as fast as it possibly can
thanks to all these escalating values.
Wound armor was only applied as a flat reduction on the roll. The
average for wound armor was 10. After receiving a single wound, you can
expect wound rolls to reach upwards of 100, even if the actual damage
roll was not particularly high, due to wound stacking bonuses form being
wounded.
This meant that wounds, if they happened, came thick and fast after the
first, regardless of what your protection might be to wounds. It was
just a matter of getting past the initial bump.
This is why effects that forced wounds were so powerful. They basically
made a given limb more prone to taking a wound without having to deal
with the protection problem first.
Finally, this is just a broad flaw with the system that is not its
fault. It is actually a problem that isn't a problem. Most people in the
game are not wearing helmets that protect their head. So most people are
going to suffer from a higher proclivity of being wounded if people are
aiming for the head. There is this...kind of cargo cult belief that
aiming for the head means you do more damage, or can stun someone if
you're lucky or what have you. It's entirely nonsense, but it has a
grain of truth in that people rarely wear, or even have access too,
headwear that provides wound protection or any protection at all. People
have jumpsuits, which are universally wound protected, but that isn't
true of the head. Look, the point is, they're not aiming at the head
because it is usually less armored, its for other reasons but it just so
happens to become true due to wounds and how wounds roll their type.
To soften this issue, I've decided to treat wound resistance as armor
until the limb suffers a tier 3 wound. This way, hits to the head MAY
not necessarily escalate to tier 3 instantly as they would on live even
from relatively low power weapons. Some weapons have very low force, but
have extreme bare wound bonuses. This should be less likely after this
change. I doubt this will necessarily make high damage high wound
weapons like energy swords any less prone to cutting you clean open, but
it might thanks to the reduction to contributed damage to the injury
roll. The system is now _a bit more random_.
🆑
balance: Wounds do not make you as vulnerable to suffering wounds of all
types as before. Instead, wounds make you more vulnerable to suffering
worse versions of themselves as a priority.
balance: Wound armor is now more impactful when protecting you from
wounds when you have already been wounded.
balance: Your head and chest are more difficult to wound until they have
been mangled; either from suffering from a weeping avulsion or a
hairline fracture.
code: Changed the variable for bare_wound_bonus to exposed_wound_bonus
to better explain what that variable is doing.

## About The Pull Request
This is a big one so please bear with me, wounds are complicated
### Max Potential Wound Rolls
We've decreased the max contributed damage to wound rolls from 35 to 25.
This results, after the exponent, a max possible wound roll of 1 to 91
before any modifiers (assuming the attack, after armor, is 25 or above).
The minimum value to wound is still 5.
### Wound Escalation Penalties
Most wounds were contributing significant numbers per wound type to the
potential for a new wound to occur. Getting wounded once meant you were
getting wound a lot, but actually getting past that first wounding may
be the tricky part.
We have significantly reigned in the wound penalty that having a wound
contributes, and instead utilize the series wound penalty to allow same
type wounds to escalate themselves faster as a priority. Having wounds
still makes you more wound vulnerable, just not to such an extreme
degree.
The priority here for what wounds matter most for contributing to
overall wounding vulnerability is ``Infected BURNS > BURNS >
SLASH|PIERCE > BLUNT.``
### Wound Armor
Wound armor, unlike all other kinds of armor, was used as a additive
value to the wound roll modifiers rather than a multiplicative value.
We have reworked how wound armor is determined by changing how wound
modifiers are calculated.
Firstly, we're passing our entire injury roll into the
``check_woundings_mod()`` proc, as we're not treating this as a proc
that just adds values anymore.
Secondly, bare wound bonus only applies if there is no potential wound
protection from any source, as expected. But it comes last in the
calculations.
Thirdly, wound protection is applied to the injury roll last, after
wound bonuses from the attack, wound bonuses from other wounds and wound
bonuses from a disabled limb are applied. This does not include serial
wound bonuses, which are determined outside of this proc.
Wound protection comes from two sources. Clothing and limb wound
resistance. Your chest and head have an amount of wound resistance so
long as they are not mangled in any fashion. Being mangled means having
either a hairline fracture or a weeping avulsion wound.
Wound protection reduces the final injury roll by a percentage. Say our
roll is 50, and we have effectively 50% wound protection. The final roll
would be 25.
### ~~Wound Armor on Clothing~~ Reverted
~~Most clothing have had their wound armor values changed. As a loose
rule, I used the highest of melee or bomb armor, except where that value
was 100, in which case I used the lowest instead. I'm basing this
decision on how embeds are calculated, which is attack type agnostic.~~
~~Some armor have inconsistent values because they are alternative
armors to an existing armor type or are hyperspecialized armor.
Ablative, bulletproof and security vests all share a value of 35,
despite the former two not having decent melee or bomb armor.~~
~~Some clothing missing wound armor that should have had them now have
wound armor.~~
~~This may need a bit of scrutiny in case one or two seem weirdly high.
Some have maybe become too low. Its a bit hard to say.~~
### The ``bare_wound_bonus`` variable
I changed it to ``exposed_wound_bonus`` to better represent when it
applies. You can be naked and still not be affected by this bonus if the
limb has wound resistance.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I'm not promising anything with this PR, but this is an attempt to
sanity check the values on wounds so that we're not seeing what the data
that determined the removal of beheading presented. An extreme
over-representation of tier 3 wounds. ~~And, from that, maybe I can
argue for beheadings coming back. That's my goal. I think beheadings
happened so much because the numbers were in need of work.~~ Well okay I
just wanna make wounds a bit more workable actually more than I want
beheadings.
Why is it that tier 3 wounds were so over-represented? Because wounds
will often force more severe wounds of other types by merit of any
wounds existing at all on a limb. Having **_a_** wound makes you more
wound prone for any kind of wound, and not just making you more likely
to suffer a more severe type of the same wound.
The threshold mechanic was intended to simulate making a wound worse,
but oddly just made a limb broadly more prone to getting worse from any
kind of attack to such a degree that future wound rolls of different
types were often going to start at the threshold necessary to be a tier
3 wound.
Dismemberment, mind you, requires you to suffer a flesh wound while you
have a bone wound of tier 2 or higher (with tier 3 giving a bonus to
this). You can do this readily via just a sharp weapon, because having a
mangled limb causes the wound to turn into a bone wound. Technically,
this is meant to be less likely as the effective damage for this wound
is halved. But the wound bonus from having a flesh wound was almost
always significant enough to kick your new bone wound up to a tier 3.
In other words; its not surprising that you saw so many beheadings,
because the system wanted to behead you as fast as it possibly can
thanks to all these escalating values.
Wound armor was only applied as a flat reduction on the roll. The
average for wound armor was 10. After receiving a single wound, you can
expect wound rolls to reach upwards of 100, even if the actual damage
roll was not particularly high, due to wound stacking bonuses form being
wounded.
This meant that wounds, if they happened, came thick and fast after the
first, regardless of what your protection might be to wounds. It was
just a matter of getting past the initial bump.
This is why effects that forced wounds were so powerful. They basically
made a given limb more prone to taking a wound without having to deal
with the protection problem first.
Finally, this is just a broad flaw with the system that is not its
fault. It is actually a problem that isn't a problem. Most people in the
game are not wearing helmets that protect their head. So most people are
going to suffer from a higher proclivity of being wounded if people are
aiming for the head. There is this...kind of cargo cult belief that
aiming for the head means you do more damage, or can stun someone if
you're lucky or what have you. It's entirely nonsense, but it has a
grain of truth in that people rarely wear, or even have access too,
headwear that provides wound protection or any protection at all. People
have jumpsuits, which are universally wound protected, but that isn't
true of the head. Look, the point is, they're not aiming at the head
because it is usually less armored, its for other reasons but it just so
happens to become true due to wounds and how wounds roll their type.
To soften this issue, I've decided to treat wound resistance as armor
until the limb suffers a tier 3 wound. This way, hits to the head MAY
not necessarily escalate to tier 3 instantly as they would on live even
from relatively low power weapons. Some weapons have very low force, but
have extreme bare wound bonuses. This should be less likely after this
change. I doubt this will necessarily make high damage high wound
weapons like energy swords any less prone to cutting you clean open, but
it might thanks to the reduction to contributed damage to the injury
roll. The system is now _a bit more random_.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Wounds do not make you as vulnerable to suffering wounds of all
types as before. Instead, wounds make you more vulnerable to suffering
worse versions of themselves as a priority.
balance: Wound armor is now more impactful when protecting you from
wounds when you have already been wounded.
balance: Your head and chest are more difficult to wound until they have
been mangled; either from suffering from a weeping avulsion or a
hairline fracture.
code: Changed the variable for bare_wound_bonus to exposed_wound_bonus
to better explain what that variable is doing.

## About The Pull Request
This was a component of the gun that existed while the weapon had a
two-round burst. It was not removed when the burst was removed.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've been using this for a while, scope included, and only recently has
this actually had an impact. I thought the scoped component was broken
or something. Nope!
Honestly it's kind of funny and sells the bit. At the same time, it's an
RNG frustration that players probably wouldn't appreciate. This likely
wasn't impactful in extreme close range, since a 10 degree divergence is
not enough to really cause a shot to go wide within 7 tiles or so. But
it did make shooting over long distances sometimes a bit harder than
necessary.
Now I know why I somehow managed to nail an assistant in the dome
completely on accident despite aiming past him shooting someone
breaching the brig while scoped.

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).
🆑 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)
