## About The Pull Request
Finally dusts off this project to make a deathmatch style bitrunning
map.
Don't be too intimidated by the file diff, lots of code organization +
resized a large map.
Changes:
1. Reuses the gateway beach map as a combat zone (99% of the file diff)
(maptainers: i just added spawners and areas)
2. Alters how bitrunning handles spawning: Custom spawns are now
available, which can be anything
Misc organization:
- Splits netpod.dm into separate files.
- Fixes some wording in vdom map documentation.
- Organizes vdom variables a bit.
- Adds a permanent hololadder spawn.
How bitrunning deathmatch works:
- Temporary spawners are offered to both ghosts and bitrunners.
- Runners spawn in like usual. Ghost can use the spawner menu.
- Ghosts work to prevent avatars from collecting side objectives or try
to cause mass brain damage.
- The domain completes after a number of deaths accrue. Any faction.
Blood for the blood god, etc.
- This map can be played solo. ANY deaths.

## Why It's Good For The Game
I've been toying with the idea of a deathmatch style map for some time.
I liked syndicate assault, the spawners were intentionally left there,
and the possibility of player-controlled players made the experience
more tense and challenging.
This PR leans into this idea: The virtual world is dangerous. Players
get a chance to compete on both sides here. It offers a lot of variety
to bitrunning other than "run for box". It's also very lucrative if
ghosts join in.
<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it
probably isn't good for the game in the first place. -->
## Changelog
<!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely
observed by players or admins you should add a changelog. If your change
does NOT meet this description, remove this section. Be sure to properly
mark your PRs to prevent unnecessary GBP loss. You can read up on GBP
and it's effects on PRs in the tgstation guides for contributors. Please
note that maintainers freely reserve the right to remove and add tags
should they deem it appropriate. You can attempt to finagle the system
all you want, but it's best to shoot for clear communication right off
the bat. -->

add: Added a bitrunning deathmatch map: Island Brawl. Both ghosts and
runners get many more spawns than normal.
fix: Lowered the static vision time in domain load in.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds Bepis disks to the main rewards of the Bitrunning crate in
addition to the minerals and domain specific rewards. It also removes it
from the Bepis vending machine.
Once per domain, if its difficult was Medium or higher, and the
completion score was A or S, and if there are still any leftover locked
Bepis tech nodes, a Bepis disk will spawn.
<details>
<summary>Original PR text</summary>
If domain has a reward value greater than one, it has 10% chance per
reward value to drop. No disk is gained if they ran out of techs to
unlock. Most of the domains have a reward value of three, so by the law
of great numbers they probably get one disk per every three domains run,
which should be one disk every 20-30 minutes. At least, if I am correct
that domain runs take about five to ten minutes, and the server cooldown
is three minutes. If I am incorrect, I can edit the drop chance as
needed, of course.
Edit: As I have underestimated how fast Bitrunners can be, I have
decreased the chance to be 5% per reward tier.
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Bepis disks are expensive, and bitrunners need to spend almost all
their NP on gear and abilities
- Downloading secret research data, is flavourful, fitting for invading
the forgotten nooks of cyberspace.
- This will allow Bepis tech to be actually used in rounds
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Bitrunners can now earn Bepis disks, once per medium domain or
above, if they scored at least an A.
del: Bitrunners can not buy Bepis disks from their vendors.

## About The Pull Request
Added secondary objective lockboxes to bitrunning. These pull from a
list of secondary objective loot on the domain, with a limited quantity
of items. Once there are no items left to pull, the secondary objective
disappears. If multiple secondary objective markers are placed, they
will be placed until all markers have been used, or all the items in the
loot pool are already spoken for.
To support this functionality, adds SSbitrunning, which stores all
domains as instances, instead of checking the hardcoded types as
previously. SSbitrunning manages listing domains for the quantum
console, and rolling secondary loot.
As an example of this functionality, added a side path to Glacier Grind
with a polar bear and some loot.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Secondary objectives give mappers ways to encourage players to venture
into a wider range of domains by offering non-trivial loot beyond the
fluff items given in the main caches. The absolute limit on the number
of items available ensures these items can't be farmed.
As well as supporting secondary objectives, SSbitrunning allows for
future support of features relying on mid-round modification of domains,
for instance adding custom domains.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added secondary objectives to bitrunning!
add: Pick up encrypted curiosities and return them to the safehouse to
claim their contents.
add: Glacier Grind has been given a secondary objective, look out for
the limited edition hat.
add: Bitrunning domains can now be modified during the round by admins.

## About The Pull Request
this is very much a code thing im not sure what i would say this just
adds an extra variable
also should be no sideeffects this is handled by turf reservations
also virtual domains (fixes #81779)
## Why It's Good For The Game
this would formerly breach to space
## Changelog
🆑
fix: fixes deathmatch baseturfs (you cant crowbar the floor to breach to
space)

## About The Pull Request
Reopened#78997
Larger patch for bitrunning that addresses a few issues.
- Two new antagonists: cyber tac and netguardian
- Quantum server emag opportunity
- Modular mob packs: Like random spawners, but for groups
- Antag spawning fixed: vdom antags now have up to a 10% chance to spawn
based on domains loaded
- Virtual domains are no longer all fullbright by default, only the
outdoorsy ones
- Actually deletes legion map file, since it was removed in #79424
<details>
<summary>images</summary>
The netguardian prime
The glitch effect - this mob is being mutated
Cyber tac (t2 antagonist)
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Bitrunning antagonists are so incredibly rare that it's underwhelming
to play as one for the solid second they offer if you even get the role
- Bitrunners had basically no traitor route to follow, they became
assistants with black outfits
Fixes#79465
<details>
<summary>More info</summary>
Bitrunners don't have any type of traitor options. If they're made into
traitors, there's nothing bitrunner related they can do, and their
access is particularly bad so it's like they're a worse assistant. I've
coupled this with the bitrunning antagonist system, which is now
fixed.\. Bitrunners can now attempt to coax these entities to come onto
the station, however they are not given any form of allegiance for doing
so (and are quite counterable).
Previously, vdom antagonists relied on so many factors to spawn that it
basically wouldn't happen. Now, it runs on the server each time there is
a map loaded, with increasing probability as the round progresses. This
builds up the list of spawnable antagonists, of which two are new,
including an entirely new giant mech megafauna. This is the first
"megafauna-esque" basic mob in the game. Its AI is bad, it's really only
meant to be player controlled, but this does mean an admin can spawn
them. Being mech, they are very counterable with ion rifles and the
like.
Several refactors, rewrites, and overall bug fixes are included in this
PR.
Lastly, I added a framework for making bitrunner maps more random, the
modular mob spawning system, which works in conjunction with random
crate locations.

## Changelog
jlsnow301, infraredbaron
🆑
add: Bitrunning Patch 1 features a host of changes!
add: Added randomized mobs to virtual domains, which will be indicated
with a unique icon.
add: New emag interaction with the quantum server. Antags will spawn
more frequently, and they can hack themselves onto the station. You have
been warned.
add: Both living and dead players can now see which mob is going to
spawn an antagonist in the vdom.
add: Two new vdom antagonists: Cyber Tac and the NetGuardian. These
unlock at specific thresholds.
balance: You can no longer stack copies of the same ability with
bitrunning disks.
balance: Some of the disk items have been replaced with stronger
versions.
fix: You can no longer spy on crew using the advanced camera console on
syndicate assault.
fix: Fixed the spawning mechanism of virtual domain antagonists. You
should now have a chance of playing as one. This chance increases as
more domains are completed.
fix: Vdom antagonists shouldn't spawn at the end of the run any longer.
fix: The preference for vdom antagonists has been changed to factor in
the new types. Check your preferences!
fix: The quantum server will now show its balloon alerts to all
observers.
fix: Random domains should be fully random again.

## About The Pull Request
Changed how loot signals work with bitrunning entirely, which allows map
creators to attach functionality to objects without creating subtypes of
the item
As a bonus I added a fishing minigame map which uses it
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's a messy solution to need to create subtypes just for the one-off
map that needs them
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added a new fishing map to bitrunning.
add: You are no longer limited to pina coladas on the beach bar domain.
Cheers!
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
Adds two variables to bitrunner domains, one for making them not spawn
disk items, and one for making them not grant disk abilities to
bitrunner characters on loading into the domain.
Not presently used in any domains, but will be a mystery tool that will
help us later.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've thought of a few pretty good domains but the ideas behind them fall
apart a bit of joey bitrunner can bring a desword and fireball into
them.
## Changelog
🆑
code: Bitrunner domains can now have spells or items from disks disabled
if the domain maker wants such a thing
