The most idiotic thing I've seen is canUseTopic's defines, they literally just define TRUE, you can use it however you want, it doesn't matter, it just means TRUE. You can mix and match the args and it will set that arg to true, despite the name.
It's so idiotic I decided to remove it, so now I can reclaim a little bit of my sanity.
Readds the changeling hivemind, but in a simplified form.
There is no linglinking. It was rarely used and imma be real with you, stupid.
Hivemind isn't an unlocked ability, it is just a default.
Bz still mutes lings
Fallen changelings now get an agonizing message about being locked out. We love fallen changeling flavor
Changelings have their Honorific names back! Hello, Mr. Omnicron!
This does NOT readd changeling team objectives, or really anything encouraging teaming beyond the hivemind itself.
I think antagonists have generally lost a lot of power versus the station, and this is one big way to pump up the heat for this antag in particular. Changelings, given an ability to possibly team up, are much MUCH scarier.
One reason it was removed years ago was because teaming was too often, but back then there were entire gamemodes about changelings having team objectives and many other things to encourage it. I'm bringing us back to a point BEFORE all those design ideas were explored, because I don't think they worked out.
Add information about the changeling hivemind, and the dangers of being turned into a fallen changeling if you get betrayed to the Changeling Antag Info UI
Changelog
add: Changelings once again have reestablished their changeling hivemind, and can secretly communicate between each other.
fix: Fixed up the Changeling UI a bit, like for example some dimmers would never render.

Why It's Good For The Game
Continuing my past work that since I haven't done a bot code improvement PR in a pretty long while, I thought I would try to get back into this with cleanbots, which used to be one of the worst bots but I fixed some major problems in the past already, so it wasn't too bad.

About The Pull Request
Native FOV is now tied to the eyes instead of the mob, and Flypeople are immune to it.
This doesn't affect TG because it's disabled in config, but I played on a server that does have it enabled, and I found it strange that Flypeople had it.
Why It's Good For The Game
Quickly searching it up says that Flies can see nearly in 360, so I think this should be reflected in-game too.
It give Flypeople a small benefit to being flashable from all directions, and while it could be implanted in regular humans, they'd have to then live with them big ol' eyes.
* Makes flags properly check themselves
Byond ref: https://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/operator/&
Basically, flags should use & instead of ==
We can have more than 1 slot on any item, so it's preferred that we do this instead. Even if it doesn't immediately fix any problems, it's something that should be the standard anyways to prevent it from ever being a problem.

About The Pull Request
I've reworked multiz. This was done because our current implementation of multiz flattens planes down into just the openspace plane. This breaks any effects we attach to plane masters (including lighting), but it also totally kills the SIDE_MAP map format, which we NEED for wallening (A major 3/4ths resprite of all wall and wall adjacent things, making them more then one tile high. Without sidemap we would be unable to display things both in from of and behind objects on map. Stupid.)
This required MASSIVE changes. Both to all uses of the plane var for reasons I'll discuss later, and to a ton of different systems that interact with rendering.
I'll do my best to keep this compact, but there's only so much I can do. Sorry brother.
Core idea
OK: first thing.
vis_contents as it works now squishes the planes of everything inside it down into the plane of the vis_loc.
This is bad. But how to do better?
It's trivially easy to make copies of our existing plane masters but offset, and relay them to the bottom of the plane above. Not a problem. The issue is how to get the actual atoms on the map to "land" on them properly.
We could use FLOAT_PLANE to offset planes based off how they're being seen, in theory this would allow us to create lens for how objects are viewed.
But that's not a stable thing to do, because properly "landing" a plane on a desired plane master would require taking into account every bit of how it's being seen, would inherently break this effect.
Ok so we need to manually edit planes based off "z layer" (IE: what layer of a z stack are you on).
That's the key conceit of this pr. Implementing the plane cube, and ensuring planes are always offset properly.
Everything else is just gravy.
About the Plane Cube
Each plane master (except ones that opt out) is copied down by some constant value equal to the max absolute change between the first and the last plane.
We do this based off the max z stack size detected by SSmapping. This is also where updates come from, and where all our updating logic will live.
As mentioned, plane masters can choose to opt out of being mirrored down. In this case, anything that interacts with them assuming that they'll be offset will instead just get back the valid plane value. This works for render targets too, since I had to work them into the system as well.
Plane masters can also be temporarily hidden from the client's screen. This is done as an attempt at optimization, and applies to anything used in niche cases, or planes only used if there's a z layer below you.
About Plane Master Groups
BYOND supports having different "maps" on screen at once (IE: groups of items/turfs/etc)
Plane masters cannot cover 2 maps at once, since their location is determined by their screen_loc.
So we need to maintain a mirror of each plane for every map we have open.
This was quite messy, so I've refactored it (and maps too) to be a bit more modular.
Rather then storing a list of plane masters, we store a list of plane master group datums.
Each datum is in charge of the plane masters for its particular map, both creating them, and managing them.
Like I mentioned, I also refactored map views. Adding a new mapview is now as simple as newing a /atom/movable/screen/map_view, calling generate_view with the appropriate map id, setting things you want to display in its vis_contents, and then calling display_to on it, passing in the mob to show ourselves to.
Much better then the hardcoded pattern we used to use. So much duplicated code man.
Oh and plane master controllers, that system we have that allows for applying filters to sets of plane masters? I've made it use lookups on plane master groups now, rather then hanging references to all impacted planes. This makes logic easier, and prevents the need to manage references and update the controllers.
image
In addition, I've added a debug ui for plane masters.
It allows you to view all of your own plane masters and short descriptions of what they do, alongside tools for editing them and their relays.
It ALSO supports editing someone elses plane masters, AND it supports (in a very fragile and incomplete manner) viewing literally through someone else's eyes, including their plane masters. This is very useful, because it means you can debug "hey my X is yorked" issues yourself, on live.
In order to accomplish this I have needed to add setters for an ungodly amount of visual impacting vars. Sight flags, eye, see_invis, see_in_dark, etc.
It also comes with an info dump about the ui, and plane masters/relays in general.
Sort of on that note. I've documented everything I know that's niche/useful about our visual effects and rendering system. My hope is this will serve to bring people up to speed on what can be done more quickly, alongside making my sin here less horrible.
See https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/tgstation/blob/multiz-hell/.github/guides/VISUALS.md.
"Landing" planes
Ok so I've explained the backend, but how do we actually land planes properly?
Most of the time this is really simple. When a plane var is set, we need to provide some spokesperson for the appearance's z level. We can use this to derive their z layer, and thus what offset to use.
This is just a lot of gruntwork, but it's occasionally more complex.
Sometimes we need to cache a list of z layer -> effect, and then use that.
Also a LOT of updating on z move. So much z move shit.
Oh. and in order to make byond darkness work properly, I needed to add SEE_BLACKNESS to all sight flags.
This draws darkness to plane 0, which means I'm able to relay it around and draw it on different z layers as is possible. fun darkness ripple effects incoming someday
I also need to update mob overlays on move.
I do this by realiizing their appearances, mutating their plane, and then readding the overlay in the correct order.
The cost of this is currently 3N. I'm convinced this could be improved, but I've not got to it yet.
It can also occasionally cause overlays to corrupt. This is fixed by laying a protective ward of overlays.Copy in the sand, but that spell makes the compiler confused, so I'll have to bully lummy about fixing it at some point.
Behavior changes
We've had to give up on the already broken gateway "see through" effect. Won't work without managing gateway plane masters or something stupid. Not worth it.
So instead we display the other side as a ui element. It's worse, but not that bad.
Because vis_contents no longer flattens planes (most of the time), some uses of it now have interesting behavior.
The main thing that comes to mind is alert popups that display mobs. They can impact the lighting plane.
I don't really care, but it should be fixable, I think, given elbow grease.
Ah and I've cleaned up layers and plane defines to make them a bit easier to read/reason about, at least I think.

* Removes overlay queuing, saves 6/7 seconds of initialize. Lightly modifies stat tracking macros
So we have this overlay queuing system right? It's build with the assumption
that the "add to overlay list" operation is real expensive, and is
thus useful to queue removals or additions.
It turns out that it just isn't, at least during init. In my testing the
operation of queuing took LONGER then the actual overlay add/remove did.
That's ignoring the cost of the subsystem's work.
I've also modified part of the stat tracking macro, since it took a good
bit of cpu time, and didn't seem to well, do anything. So far as I can
tell it always evaluates to 1

first things first, back when LemonInTheDark changed the interact_range code he did a slight modification that broke the AI cards, namely, he did this (not saying its a bad change, it is actually a good change, just mentioning what change caused the issue im fixing now):
now, his change does make sense, since he changed the range default to 0 instead of 1, however "null" is also used as a range, specifically for AIs, now this normally isnt an issue for the AI itself, as the AI generally gets a TRUE in its interaction checks before it gets down this deep (machines have a bypass specifically for AI), but there is one situation in which it does go this deep: AI Cards, when in an AI card the AIs interaction range is set to 0 and their interaction is disabled, thereby making it impossible for them to interact with anything, now when a player opens the card UI and enables the AIs ability to interact, this sets their range back to null, aka unlimited, the issue now however, is that since "null" is treated the same as "0", and AIs in cards dont hit the same bypasses an AI core does, Lemons change to submit a false return for 0, is also submitting false for null, meaning the AI card cannot interact with anything except the tile its on, despite having null/unlimited range....
fixed by changing the null value to infinity where it is used
additionally my fix of can_interact() code apparently had the unintended side effect of not allowing rotations of machines if theres no power, i missed this entirely because thats such a specific situation, since you try rotating with APC power in most cases, it also didnt affect most machines, that said the fix was simple, just changed the proc being called to only check distance, not power. fixes#61852
and last but not least, fixes some code with the syndie bombs interactability, namely removes a redudant section, and adds a check for range, turns out there were no checks for range so you could in theory open the UI and walk away and then activate it from another location, so added a quick check to ensure you actually CAN interact with it before letting you push buttons in the UI
* Makes AI can_interact_with use the valid z level helper
* Makes AI's ``can_interact_with`` proc use ``is_valid_z_level`` instead helper instead of manually doing it.
* Minor code improvement while im here 👍
* Xenomorph powers require hands and mobility up to use
Xenomorphs usually don't have hands blocked/are immobile, so this mostly just affects Humans, who can use neurotoxin spit while stunned.
* Neurotoxin checks for muzzle instead of hands blocked
Reverses hands check for Xeno powers, instead Neurotoxin specifically will check for muzzled.
* Optimizes away /obj/Initialize
We were spending like 0.15 seconds just checking for blueprints, obj
flags and network ids
All these things can just be applied where they're wanted, saves time
Oh and I replaced object flags with an emag injector. I'll give it a
sprite and name later I promise
* Requires a GenerateTag() call to set DF_USE_TAG, rather then doing a check in atom New
This is technically harder to use, but I don't really want people using
tags, and it saves 0.15 seconds
* Moves generatetag to /datum
* I am dumb
* Saves 0.5 seconds, makes init emissive blockers actually work
Ok so background. If an overlay is added with add_overlay, and not
"managed" somehow, it will effectively never be removed, because
nothing's tracking it.
Update_overlays uses the managed_overlays list/var (one of those) to do
this.
I'm gonna piggyback off this to make emissive overlays actually like,
respect overlay updates.
Oh and uh, I've saved maybe 0.5 seconds by caching the new emissive, and
not using add_overlay. There's a chance this will lead to overlay
corruption, but since we never readd the flattened, I think we'll be
safe
* Fixes plane not being set right, changes color logic too, since alpha will override past color sets
* Makes it actually work. also makes rand posters update appearance to clear away the overlay, since it shows on right click and looks bad
* Fixes blockers showing as emissives. It turns out alpha sets override the color list we use. Not sure why we pretend to support them
* Makes the injector support traits, adds an amazing sprite
