basically ex_act's implementation on basic mobs would call parent and
then react to it's value, this is presumably to do the first check about
space vine mutations and whatever. the problem is that the `/mob/living`
implementation would itself also call parent, and that would always
return null because `/atom/proc/ex_act` doesn't have a set return value.
So, this simply would _always_ early return, with ex_act presumably
*never* working on basic mobs for at least four months now.
I decided to then change up the return values for pretty much all
implementations of `ex_act()` since there was no rhyme or reason to
returning null/FALSE/TRUE, and documenting why it's like that.
Just to make sure I wasn't breaking anything doing this (at least on
base implementations), I wrote a unit test for all of the three major
physical types in game (objs, mobs, turfs) because i am a paranoid
fuckar. we should be good to go now though.
## Why It's Good For The Game
i noticed this because placing c4's on sargeant araneus wouldn't
actually damage it whatsoever. now it actually does the stated 30
damage, but araneus has like 250 health so it doesn't actually matter in
the long run. whatever at least it does the damn 30 now.
also adds a unit test for this specific case as well as a range of other
cases to ensure this stuff doesn't silently break in this way anymore
Gives stairs `move_resist = INFINITY`, preventing anything with
above-average move force from moving them.
Currently, mobs with above average move forces, like Goliaths and
Megafauna will break stairs on their first use, not by destroying them
but by physically moving the stairs one tile.
While funny, this really does mess with a few maps, opens up easy grief,
and doesn't make too much sense.
Ladies, Gentlemen, Gamers. You're probably wondering why I've called you
all here (through the automatic reviewer request system). So, mineral
balance! Mineral balance is less a balance and more of a nervous white
dude juggling spinning plates on a high-wire on his first day. The fact
it hasn't failed after going on this long is a miracle in and of itself.
This PR does not change mineral balance. What this does is moves over
every individual cost, both in crafting recipes attached to an object
over to a define based system. We have 3 defines:
`sheet_material_amount=2000` . Stock standard mineral sheet. This being
our central mineral unit, this is used for all costs 2000+.
`half_sheet_material_amount=1000` . Same as above, but using iron rods
as our inbetween for costs of 1000-1999.
`small_material_amount=100` . This hits 1-999. This covers... a
startlingly large amount of the codebase. It's feast or famine out here
in terms of mineral costs as a result, items are either sheets upon
sheets, or some fraction of small mats.
Shout out to riot darts for being the worst material cost in the game. I
will not elaborate.
Regardless, this has no functional change, but it sets the groundwork
for making future changes to material costs much, MUCH easier, and moves
over to a single, standardized set of units to help enforce coding
standards on new items, and will bring up lots of uncomfortable balance
questions down the line.
For now though, this serves as some rough boundaries on how items costs
are related, and will make adjusting these values easier going forward.
Except for foam darts.
I did round up foam darts.
Adjusting mineral balance on the macro scale will be as simple as
changing the aforementioned mineral defines, where the alternative is a
rats nest of magic number defines. ~~No seriously, 11.25 iron for a foam
dart are you kidding me what is the POINT WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT 11~~
Items individual numbers have not been adjusted yet, but we can
standardize how the conversation can be held and actually GET SOMEWHERE
on material balance as opposed to throwing our hands up or ignoring it
for another 10 years.

## About The Pull Request
Removes Kilostation from the game.
Since I know this is bound to be a touchy subject (the map has its fans,
after all), I feel I need to explain the situation and why this decision
has been made.
While working on mapping for TGStation, there's an inherent struggle
between what's good for mappers, and what's good for coders. On the
mapping side, we want as many maps as we reasonably can have in the
repo. On the code side, every map added introduces a new layer of
complexity for adding new features. While we're attempting to make
strides in improving cooperation between the two teams so we can handle
both many maps and lots of new features, in the here and now this means
that we find ourselves limited in how many maps we can maintain at once.
With this in mind, we find ourselves in a conundrum when new maps come
along. While it would be nice to accept everything new without needing
to remove anything else, the above problems force us to stick to a
limit. Via a fair amount of discussion on the maintainer team, this was
set to 6 recently, which we reached when Northstar was merged, and
meaning that a removal was required for any new maps.
As for why the decision was made to take Birdshot over Kilo, I believe
it is better for us to have a map that has room to grow and an active
creator. As much as I was personally a Kilo enjoyer, the map has
consistently proven to be problematic for new code additions due to its
scale, and it receives little maintenance outside of the bare essentials
as a result. With all this in mind, it comes out as the obvious choice
for removal in this case. Of course, nothing stops it from coming back
in future if any of the above changes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
TL:DR: In order to keep the maintenance budget down, we need to remove a
map for the sake of new blood, and in this case Kilo was the simplest
choice.
## Changelog
🆑
del: Kilostation has went back to its home planet. It served us
faithfully for nearly 3 and a half years. May it rest in peace.

## About The Pull Request
A re-open of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/66326 with
Fikou's permission
Adds the style meter, it can be bought from the mining vendor for 1500
points, it is an attachment to your glasses.
The style meter creates a display on your hud, with your recent actions,
like attacking enemies, killing them, mining ore etc. Actions like
spinning or flipping increase your score multiplier, making you get more
points.
Your style meter affects how much ore you get from mining rocks. By
default with the meter, you get 20% less ore, but at the highest, you
can get 1.2x the ore from mining. In addition, on B-tier or above, you
can "hotswap" items, by attacking an item in your backpack with one in
your hand (should it fit and all that). Also features a leaderboard for
highest style point count!
New streamable: https://streamable.com/eewi6l
The following are sources of points:
- Killing things
- Killing big things
- Killing small things
- Punching things
- Melee'ing things
- Mining rocks and ores
- Having matrix traps detonate
- Hit, defuse, and detonate gibtonite
- Detonate crusher marks
- Scan geysers
- Parry projectiles (others or your own)
Oh, right. While wearing the style meter, you're able to parry any
lavaland-based projectile by clicking on it or the tile it is on, which
reflects it back in a 7 degree arc, making it 20% faster and 15% more
damaging. Usually not very easy.
Maybe-plan in the future for some syndicate variant of this (with bullet
parrying and appropriate style sources, etc.), but not for this PR
Thanks to Arcane, multitooling the style meter will make it play some
sounds on rank-up.

## About The Pull Request
Generally cleans up code on both components.
Moves burn proc back to /obj level, I'm not sure why I moved it to /atom
level, it was unnecessary.
Acid component generalized so it can be used on any atom that uses
atom_integrity.
Fixes a bug where objects that stopped burning didn't update their burn
overlay properly due to bad removal logic and leftover code.
Standardizes examine messages on burning items by just slapping an
examine signal registration on the component.
Adds fire particles to items thanks to Lemon's PR:

Ok, but can we not?
This PR refactors sheet crafting to generalize all the cases that were
previously locked behind grille/window type checks and such. In their
stead there are bitflags that can be set to achieve certain behaviors.
All the behavior from before should be preserved, but now it can be
extended to other items. E.g. if you want a railing that can be crafted
underneath directional windows, or an item that behaves like a grille
does--it's just a matter of setting the right obj_flags for it now.
This makes it very simple and painless to add new recipes that use
directional crafting! It's all modular now.
<details><summary>Details</summary>
---
### What I've done:
-Eliminated all the type checks, instead it will now be handled by
object flags and recipe vars, making for a much more configurable
system.
-Added two new obj_flags: `BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION_DIR` and
`IGNORE_DENSITY`.
-Additionally, I renamed the existing flag `NO_BUILD` to
`BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION`.
-Changes the proc `valid_window_location` to `valid_build_direction`,
and makes it work for things other than windows.
-Removed a deprecated `window_checks` var from the stack_recipe datum.
-Added three more vars to the stack_recipe datum: `check_direction` and
`check_density`, `is_fulltile`
-Decoupled `on_solid_ground` from the object density check. Now you can
set those separately, allowing you to make recipes that forbid/allow
building things over other things while in space.
---
### What the new flags do:
`BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION` works as before---prevents objects from being
built on the object. I felt that the previous name was not descriptive
enough, you should know exactly what it does just from looking at the
name.
_example: dna scanner_
`BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION_DIR` -- setting this on an object will prevent
objects from being built on it when their directions are the same.
_example: directional windows, windoors, railings_
`IGNORE_DENSITY` -- setting this on an object will cause its density to
be ignored when performing the construction density check. This could
have other potential uses as well in the future.
_example: grilles, directional windows, tables_
These three flags cover all the bases for the types of items that are
currently craftable, so there is no more need for any type checking or
weird snowflake window checks. Simply set the appropriate flag and it'll
work as you would expect.
---
### What the recipe vars do:
`check_direction` tells the recipe to check if there's something in that
direction with the `BLOCKS_CONSTRUCTION_DIR` flag set.
`check_density` tells the recipe to run the density check when set. This
is true by default. There are very few items in the game that currently
have this set to false--namely grilles. Setting this to false will make
it so that the object can be constructed regardless of what is in that
tile (unless `one_per_turf` is also set, which will make it so that you
can't craft the same thing twice in the same turf).
`is_fulltile` is used for fulltile windows, but it doesn't necessarily
have to be--you can give this to any recipe and it will adopt the same
properties as that of the fulltile window. Basically they have a special
case where they shouldn't be able to be built over directional
constructions, where normally things would be able to be. Setting this
makes check_direction true as well.
---
### In summary:
Sheet crafting still works just as it did before. But the backend of it
has gotten a glow up and will be able to more easily support new
behaviors.
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
This makes the crafting system much more flexible to add recipes to, and
will prevent bad code practices of stacking more conditionals down the
line whenever someone wants to add an item that behaves like grilles or
directional windows in how they are constructed.
It had to be done. Those window checks were a mess.

## About The Pull Request
When 2 plants are adjacent to each other, they will begin to
cross-pollenate, sharing their potency, instability, and yield values
between the two. This has been in the game since #50001 , however we
never added a more clear visual tell that cross-pollenation exists.
Thanks to the magic of *barticles*, now you can!
_pictured: wheat and tomatoes pollenating_
Adds a simple particle effect, largely lifted from bonfires, that
indicates that two plants are sharing stats at minimum.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Following discussion from #74621, it was decided we needed and preferred
a more visual cue to the mechanic. As a general point I think that's a
longer term fix to the issue, and this adds more visual clarity to an
otherwise arcane mechanic (heh).
Looking for feedback on how to improve the look of the particles but for
fast nightcode I think I did okay for a first try

You can now uproot plants with any item that has TOOL_SHOVEL flag
instead of just item/shovel. So you can use trench tool for this
purpose.
And the same with digging out plants. It was originally limited to just
spade shovel, which is rather strange considering that there is bone
shovel recipe and one of it's ingridients is spade.
Changed icon of omnitool's shovel because spade won't be the only shovel
used for uprooting plants.
Also removed a bunch of code and it didn't affect anything in my tests
so I'm assuming it was unused and completely useless.
Maybe i'm not right and it affects something tho.

## About The Pull Request
### **Cargo Black Market goods should stay in cargo's hands**
#### New Cargo Console Category: Imports
This category is explicitly the non-departmental category beyond simply
having a Misc category. It is meant for material that nobody is meant to
be buying for their departments, and mostly for the odd-ball crates that
might show up. It also allows us to maintain contraband as exactly that;
contraband that the departments shouldn't have access too whatsoever. If
someone is buying from this category, they probably intend to be a
cheeky fuck.
<details>
<summary>The New Changes</summary>
#### Baseline Imports
MEAT: MEAT (meat backpack you can eat)
<details>
<summary>MEAT</summary>
</details>
Duct Spiders: They're adorable and cause a mess, but that doesn't stop
Nanotrasen from importing them from the Australicus sector to your
station!
Stack of 50 Bamboo Cuttings: Pretty expensive and kind of a premium.
Allows for those people looking to make bamboo decorations without
hoping botany exists, and are at least willing to pay. Also lets them
make horribly dangerous stuff with bamboo, of course.
A Single Sheet of Bananium: The problems this will cause I think speak
for themselves. (mostly due to a clown fruitlessly attempting to make
something actually disruptive while bankrupting cargo)
Natural Fish Bait: It isn't cheating, it's homemade. (Really good bait
but expensive and obviously drugs)
A dumpster...: A corpse in a dumpster, doesn't get more complicated than
that. Useful for corpse reasons.
Made using some code I borrowed from over here!
https://github.com/lizardqueenlexi/orbstation/pull/354
#### Contraband Imports
Foam Force Pistols: Same as it ever was with a price reduction. I
brought it down because riot darts are like 8 bullets a clip, and do
less damage than a disabler using riot darts. It feels like a sidegrade
weapon, and even if it technically is a ballistic weapon, it...isn't
that strong. I think this is pretty safe.
Definitely Not a Duct Spider: It's actually a giant spider in a box. If
you want to waste cargo's money while also sending them a mess to deal
with, this is the crate for you.
Russian Surplus Military Gear Crate: I took this opportunity to futz
with boltaction rifles. There are two kinds of mosin nagant you can get
in this crate. One of them is the good kind (no jamming). The other is
the shit kind (yes jamming), but you get more of them. You can get the
good ammo, or you can get the shit ammo. You'll have to pick through it
a lot more carefully to make sure you know which ones you've received.
Since this dilutes the pool even further, getting a good number of
mosins that aren't trash is even more expensive, and even if you do get
mosins at all, you might still only get the bad ammunition that doesn't
work against actual human threats as well. It also now cannot be
purchased through the security cargo supply console, and as to why they
could in the first place baffles me. Doesn't have a lock anymore
because...it's contraband? Who is locking this stuff?
**Side note: _You can make surplus 7.62 in the autolathe as well. It is
not very good except to fight fauna or naked assistants._**
**Side Side note: _I've killed off the shitty brand_new subtype and
brought peace once more to this land._**
#### Illegal Imports (Emag)
NULL_ENTRY: A journal that suggests how to make a...very interesting
weapon. The Regal Condor. Kind of an evolution on some other ideas I've
had over the years. This one is basically a secret weapon with a few
hurdles to jump through. Very lethal. Very expensive.
**Side note: _For reference, it's effectively 19 TC worth of gear to
make, but there does exist some methods to acquire this more cheaply if
you can get some bits and pieces from world spawns. Given it requires
you to get some pieces of equipment that might require additional
purchases of contraband, and getting into the captain's office to loot a
specific piece of clothing, the stakes more than make up for the
effectiveness._**
Smuggled WT-550 Autorifle Crate: This is basically the same, but you
might have noticed had you recently attempted, like me, to buy these
when you emagged them using a personal account and discovered a tragic
oversight. You couldn't, because they still needed armory access. This
removes that access, because you've already gone to the effort of
getting your hands on an illicit firearm through cargo, and if they
techs somehow miss the fact that you've purchased a WT-550...all the
better for you!
Smuggled WT-550 Ammo Crate: Includes AP and Incendiary!
**Side note: _You can get WT-550 ammo again via the Illegal Technology
node._**
Shocktrooper: Replaces the Special Ops crate. Contains a box of EMPs,
smoke grenades, a couple of gluon grenades and a couple of frag
grenades. Funsies.
Special Ops: The NEW Special Ops crate. Contains a chameleon mask,
jumpsuit and agent card. And a knife.
**Side note: _This is what appears in some cargo loan events._**
Refurbished Mosin Nagant Crate: The actual good mosin nagants. There are
6 of them. But they don't come with spare ammo. Hand them out to your
techs!
</details>

#### Changed Crates
- Foam Force Pistols (cheaper) - Contraband
- Russian Surplus Crate (less reliable, can't be bought by security
console) - Contraband
- WT-550 crate (more obtainable via personal accounts, thus
incriminating, not armory locked) - Emag
- WT-550 ammo (includes incendiary and AP) - Emag
#### Crates that got moved, unchanged, into Imports
- Foam Force Crate
- Cosa Nostra Crate
- Black Market LTSRBT
- 'Contraband' Crate
- Biker Gang Crate
#### Not crate changes
- You can print Surplus 7.62 (same as normal 7.62 but it sucks against
armor) from hacked autolathes.
- You can get WT-550 ammo from illegal tech.
- Removes the redundant Brand New Mosin subtype
- Fixes a potential exploit with jamming chance on Mosins.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I just think some of the magic of Cargo getting their hands on obviously
dangerous equipment and either hording it for themselves or attempting
to pawn it off was lost in recent times. A lot of this 'black market'
gear, however, suddenly became openly available to the crew anyway. For
_free_. Contraband crates and mafia crates could be purchased via the
Service budget. Security could just stock up en masse on mosins through
their console. And one fairly unfortunate consequence of a few recent
changes has made it nearly impossible to actually get illicit gear in
the first place, even if you did go to the effort of getting the money
for it.
On top of this, most of cargo's goods are pretty safe purchases. There
isn't much that would be considered 'actually a really bad idea to buy'
other than maybe supermatter shards. I wouldn't mind there existing ways
for someone to waste cargo's money while also causing them to have to
clean up the mess.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: A significant overhaul of various illicit and dubiously legal
goods and gadgets available via cargo.
balance: Cargo now has an Import category for all non-departmental
goods. (And black market goods)
balance: Most contraband that already exists has been moved into
Imports.
adds: Includes several new imports of dubious quality. You get what you
pay for.
code: Removes the brand new mosin subtype as it is now defunct.
fix: Fixes potentially exploitative code in the jamming proc. Cleans up
that code while I'm at it.

## About The Pull Request
1. Debloats the RCD.dm file i.e. renames it to RHD[Rapid handheld device
the base for all rcd like devices] and moves its subtypes into their
respective files
`/obj/item/construction/rcd` moved to RCD.dm
`/obj/item/construction/rld` moved to RLD.dm
`/obj/item/construction/plumbing` moved to RPLD.dm
`/obj/item/construction/rtd` stays in RTD.dm
Other rcd like device i.e. RPD, RFC, RWD, along with the above mentioned
files are now all moved into 1 folder called "rcd"
majority of the `to_chat()` are now replaced with `balloon_alert()` to
reduce spam
2. Adds early returns, optimizes & adds extra resource sanity checks
before and after the `do_after()` proc for the RLD. RLD silo links now
works again.
- RLD now uses an ammo bar just like the RCD for updating only its
overlays & not its entire icon state, it also has a blinking yellow icon
state when low on ammo
- Remove unused empty blinking yellow icon state for plumbing RCD.
nobody designed the ammo bars for them so having`has_ammobar = TRUE`
caused the unit tests to fail
4. Adds extra structure placement & resource sanity checks for RCD, RTD
& Plumbing RCD before & after the `do_after()` proc
RCD Patches
- removes unused vars window_type & window_glass, these can be infered
from window_type directly
- removes furnish type & cost and let the rcd_vals() proc decide those
for consistency
- copies the rcd stuff from turf/floor to turf/open/misc with some
exceptions, It wasen't updated in a long time
- rcd vals i.e. cost & delay for window types are set for each
directional, full-tile, reinforced types. These all used constant values
& now they are adjusted accordingly
RTD patches
- Fixes#74526 RTD can lay floor tiles on all types of plating's
- The cost of deconstructing tiles was not calculated correctly i.e. it
always used the cost of the selected design & not the cost of the actual
floor type we are trying to deconstruct
- The construction & deconstruction time was constant & very fast for
all tile types, now the delay is adjusted based on the cost of the type
of tile in question
- RTD now has a blinking yellow empty icon state just like the RCD when
low on ammo
6. Fixes#73479 RCL now updates its pipe cleaning coil appearance when
changing colours & selecting white colour no longer yields a random coil
colour
7. makes sure `useResource() ` actually succeeds before doing any
action. The return value of this proc was not previously checked for
some devices
## Why It's Good For The Game
1. rcd like devices all moved into 1 folder for better organization
2. splits the original RCD.dm file into more logical & manageable files
for better maintainability
3. removes unused code & adds some extra sanity checks for everything
4. adds missing sprites for RLD & RTD
## Changelog
🆑
code: RCD & all its subtypes and other devices like it[RTD, RLD,
Plumbing RCD, RWD, RFC, RPD] now moved into 1 folder, removes unused
vars
refactor: RCD window type cost & delay are set based on the window type
selected.
refactor: RLD, RCD & plumbing RCD now has extra resource & target
placement sanity checks, optimizes RLD and code readability.
refactor: RTD now sets the correct delay with the cost of the tile type
currently being constructed/deconstructed taken into account
refactor: large majority of to_chat() replaced with balloon alerts
fix: RLD silo link now works again
fix: RTD can place tiles on any subtype of plating
fix: RCL now lays the correct colour of pipe cleaner when its colour is
changed
imageadd: empty blinking yellow icon states for RTD & RLD & an ammo bar

## About The Pull Request
This sprite file had been a dumping ground for miscellaneous sprites for
the past decade. It's bloated and full of random kinds of icons and even
has a few unused ones. It's time to reorganize them into their own
separate dmi's based on theme.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Better organization and easier access when looking for stuff.

## About The Pull Request
Following [from the suggestion in this hackmd
](https://hackmd.io/IkDWWkpfQa2lkdevsnLqhA?view#Replacement-Uplinks)with
a few twists of my own, I have made a method for traitors to acquire a
replacement traitor uplink that has its own set of flaws and limiters in
order to prevent abuse.
The basic pitch is as follows, all traitors now start with a new,
crafting recipe exclusive to them, it costs a teleport beacon, a
bluespace crystal, and some iron and cable coil, and then allows them to
build a static, dense machine that they can synchronize with, which
allows the machine to know what signal it should be looking out for from
the traitor.
The traitor then uses any radio, sets it to the frequency that has been
added to their static antagonist ui, and then speaks their codeword,
also in the ui, and then a few things happen.
Most obviously, they get a replacement uplink that is in the conspicuous
shape of the nukie or lone op uplink. This uplink can be unlocked by
speaking your replacement codeword to it again, it remembers your
previous TC amount and locks all other uplinks associated with your
uplink handler(they can then be unlocked as normal). It also destroys
any other replacement uplinks associated with your uplink handler, which
means you can never have more than one replacement uplink.
This means that if your uplink has been confiscated and you left it
unlocked, if it hasn't been emptied out you can continue from where you
were, and if you want to get back on the TC grind you won't lose the new
TC to whoever stole your uplink. Of course, the new uplink can not be
locked, so you have to be more careful with it or buy an uplink implant
and destroy it. You can destroy your replacement uplink with a
screwdriver right click, same for the machine.
Additionally, the Syndicate Uplink Beacon has another quirk to it, which
is that the teleporter beacon used to create it is intact, which means
people eagle eyed on the teleporter console could go find you, not to
mention that if you use an existing teleporter beacon, someone might
notice its gone missing...
oh also while making the replacement uplink i found a bug caused by a
recent pr that broke debug uplinks due to them not having a purchase
log. thats fixed too
## Why It's Good For The Game
It can be easy to lose your uplink, and as a traitor having your uplink
confiscated, even if it is locked, feels really bad. While the old
traitor objectives were added back to prog traitor to prevent situations
where a confiscated uplink meant that you were completely aimless, I
think that having a backup solution would be good for more inexperienced
traitors or for ones who get unlucky.
Hopefully this is generally balanced well enough but there are a few
levers that can be pulled, but overall I do think that making it so that
traitors can always get a chance to get an uplink and do some objectives
is good for the game. I like the idea of someone getting perma'd,
someone breaks them out, they both craft a new uplink beacon, and then
they go back and get the traitors old gear with stuff they got from the
new uplink, I think that's a cool possibility to throw into the sandbox.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added new syndicate uplink beacon and associated systems that allow
you to get a replacement traitor uplink
fix: Debug & nukie uplinks no longer runtime and work properly again
/🆑
In #74306, I _thought_ I knew what the cause was, and I both attempted a
potential fix _and_ made tracking it easier. The fruits of my labor paid
off, I know exactly what caused it now.
Basically, the demonic portal will scrape away all turfs in a 5-tile
radius on its `Initialize()`, and if a spawner spawned right next to the
hermit ruin... it would count it as a mineral turf and scrape it away as
well. That's so fucking silly. At least we know now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The fix is to just make those tiles unscrapeable, which is accomplished
via another turf_flag and filtering those out in the `Initialize()` of
the demonic portals.
I also cleaned up the calls to scrapeaway being `null`, which is really
weird because it just defaulted to the normal proc behavior. Naming the
arguments instead does the same thing (I checked)
# MAINTAINER - USE THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "MERGE MASTER" THEN SET THE PR

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
This took a while to do, but here's the gist:
Python file now regexes every file in `/code` except for those that have
some valid reason to be tacking on more global defines. Some of those
reasons are simply just that I don't have the time right now (doing what
you see in this PR took a few hours) to refactor and parse what should
belong and what should be thrown out. For the time being though, this PR
will at least _halt_ people making the mistake of not `#undef`ing any
files they `#define` "locally", or within the scope of a file.
Most people forget to do this and this leads to a lot of mess later on
due to how many variables can be unmanaged on the global level. I've
made this mistake, you've made this mistake, it's a common thing. Let's
automatically check for it so it can be fixed no-stress.
Scenarios this PR corrects:
* Forgetting to undef a define but undeffing others.
* Not undeffing any defines in your file.
* Earmarking a define as a "file local" define, but not defining it.
* Having a define be a "file local" define, but having it be used
elsewhere.
* Having a "local" define not even be in the file that it only shows up
in.
* Having a completely unused define*
(* I kept some of these because they seemed important... Others were
junked.)
## Why It's Good For The Game
If you wanna use it across multiple files, no reason to not make it a
global define (maybe there's a few reasons but let's assume that this is
the 95% case).
Let me know if you don't like how I re-arranged some of the defines and
how you'd rather see it be implemented, and I'd be happy to do that.
This was mostly just "eh does it need it or not" sorta stuff.
I used a pretty cool way to detect if we should use the standardized
GitHub "error" output, you can see the results of that here

## Changelog
Nothing that really concerns players.
(I fixed up all this stuff using vscode, no regexes beyond what you see
in the python script. sorry downstreams)
## About The Pull Request
### The Rifle:
-The Sniper Rifle is now a bolt action. This replaces the 4 second fire
delay on the sniper rifle. This overall will improve the fire rate if
you're good at racking the bolt, but it will also feel less like you're
in a weird limbo of inaction while using the sniper rifle, since the
fire delay can be quite confusing to players not used to it. This can be
tweaked, like reducing the speed of the racking action, if it seems like
it is too much.
-The scope component now goes up to 50 tiles (or so), which allows you
to gain a significant sightline over an area. The reasoning for this is
simple. The component actually nerfed the overall range of the sniper
rifle's scope, so this should hopefully restore that somewhat. And
having such a huge sightline makes it much easier to utilize the
impressive range of the rifle. Currently, it's really only ideal for
extremely close range fighting.
-The normal sniper rifle, the one that syndicate base scientists get,
can be suppressed. I don't know why it was different.
### The Ammo:
Normal .50 BMG: Does much more object damage, and on top of that deals
additional damage to mechs, but not by much more. Now, when it
dismembers a limb, it also deals its damage to the chest. This ensures
that you didn't straight up lose out on dealing a killing blow because
you took their limb off, and makes the dismemberment property of .50 BMG
a significant upside rather than a immense detriment.
Marksman: Gains a lot of the above benefits, but has much lower range.
Why this nerf? It's actually because of some funny nonsense with how
ricochet works. Which can cause....accidents to happen. To you. Consider
that firing down a straight line and missing could be quite embarrassing
when the bullet has 400 tiles of range.
Soporific: Now called Disruptor ammo. Works as it did before, putting
humans to sleep for 40 seconds (seriously, 40 seconds). Also deals some
stamina damage, if...that's relevant. But now also causes an EMP effect
and a boatload of added damage to both mechs and borgs, allowing it to
be an excellent anti-mech and anti-borg ammo type, as well as scrambling
any pesky suit sensors, energy weapons and so on in an area around the
impact. Useful for support fire.
Incendiary (NEW!): Causes a massive firebomb to go off where it impacts
(no explosion, so this isn't a stun). Also sets the target on fire,
which is always fun. Good for shooting into groups of people with
impunity. Also deals burn damage instead, since I think nukies could use
more methods for direct fire damage.
Surplus (NEW!): It's .50 BMG but it lacks most if not all the upsides.
No armour penetration, no dismemberment, no paralysis. It still deals a
lot of damage to objects, so not a bad option for simply removing
structures from afar. So what's the point in this ammo? You can buy 7
magazines for the price of one. I want to introduce 'Surplus' as an idea
for nukies to invest in if they want to be able to keep shooting but
they're really on a budget, like most non-warop nukies tend to be. This
is definitely subject to change (like a damage decrease on top of
everything else).
Pricing and Capacity: Normal ammo and surplus costs 3 TC. Every special
ammo costs 4 TC. Every special ammo also has the same ammo capacity as
the normal magazine. It's kind of weird how most of the subtypes had 5
shots rather than 6, but then soporific had...3? I don't get it. This
would probably cause a good deal of confusion, especially if you are
swapping ammo types and weren't aware of this particular oddity.
Anyway, 6 shots.
### Minor Addition
Gets rid of the cheap suppressor. It lies to players, tricking them into
thinking this is a low quality suppressor. Newsflash, it isn't. There is
no distinct difference between that suppressor and the normal
suppressor.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The sniper rifle, unfortunately, sucks a lot except for very specific
use cases. It got a big nerf with the scope component in terms of range,
even if the functionality is way cooler. And, at a baseline, there was
some counterintuitive functions attached to it. Dismemberment was cool,
but it also caused a loss in overall damage due to how limbs contribute
to core health. On top of this, the cool ammo types were...not much
better? Penetrator was almost always the best option, even if it lost a
lot of damage as a consequence.
So, what was it good for? X-ray + Penetrator. Pretty much, that's it. It
has some other uses but if I had to be entirely honest, there wasn't
much that other weapon couldn't do as well.
Hopefully this helps things going forward, and I want to mess with this
as well down the line in case its a bit too much of a boost in power.
Absolutely please rip this PR apart.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Makes the syndicate sniper rifle a bolt-action rifle.
balance: Sniper rifles have a scope range of roughly 50 tiles.
balance: Sniper rifle ammo, if it dismembers your limbs, does damage to
the chest.
balance: All the various syndicate sniper rifle magazines have
consistent casing quantities (6 shots). They also have more consistent
pricing. 3 for normal and a box of surplus, and 4 for every other type.
balance: Reduces the range of Marksman ammo to 50 tiles. Not because it
is strong, but because you might accidentally shoot yourself if you're
not watching where you're shooting. Ricochets are no joke.
add: Replaces Soporific with Disruptor ammo. Works like soporific, but
also EMPS things it hits.
add: Adds Incendiary .50 BMG. Causes a combustion to erupt from the
struck target, as well as setting targets on fire. Great for parties.
add: Adds Surplus .50 BMG. It sucks, but you get a lot of them! Quantity
over quality, baby.
remove: The suppressors in the bundle are of standard quality. The
apparent 'cheap suppressor' that came bundled with the C-20r and sniper
rifle were found to actually be 'fine'. Trust us.

## About The Pull Request
New DLC bout to drop.
Lots of new things included:
- New basketball minigame that can be played between 2-7 players
- Crafting recipe for basketballs using leather sheets
- Crafting recipe for basketball hoops using metal, rods, and durathread
- New basketball sounds for the ball and hoops
- New scorecard that can be reset using CtrlClick
- Basketball hoops can be rotated using a wrench and AltClick
- Dunking and shooting animations.
### New basketball mechanics that now utilize stamina:
- Dunking costs large stamina and you must be directly adjacent to the
hoop and click on it.
- Shooting costs medium stamina and uses RMB. Shooting lets you aim the
ball over peoples heads, meaning anyone obstructing your path will be
bypassed. There is a half second delay during shooting where someone can
bump or push to prevent the shot from succeeding.
- Shooting from further away results in less accuracy. If you do not
click directly on the hoop, there is also an accuracy penalty!
- Passing costs no stamina and uses LMB. Trying to score into the hoop
via passing results in a reduced chance.
- Spinning costs medium stamina while holding the ball. It gives a
reduced chance for the ball to be stolen but decreases accuracy for
shooting.
- Pushing a player using RMB will attempt to steal the ball and drain
their stamina.
- The chance to steal the ball is based on the stamina of both players
and the direction they are facing. If the person with the ball is at low
stamina, and the person stealing is at full stamina, they will have a
higher chance. Likewise, if the person with the ball is face to face
with the stealer, then there is a higher chance for the ball to be
stolen. If the person has their back to the stealer, then it's a lower
chance.
- Shooting from more than 2 tiles away, results in 3 points. See below
picture to know the distance.

## About The Pull Request
Firstly, this var was on `/mob`, even though only `/mob/living` and
`/mob/dead` could have ever used it, so who knows how much needless
memory it was consuming on stuff such as `oranges_ear` that would never
ever ever use something like this.
Edit: okay instead of memory it just polluted variable edit windows for
all /mob when it didn't need to. I like having a slim VV window
Secondly, it's a technical improvement over the previous system as we
are able to "track" where a suicide originates from, and how we can
track that from mob-to-mob-to-mob. Previously, the boolean `suiciding`
would only inform us if they had ever been connected to a mob that had
ever committed suicide, but now we are able to precisely determine which
mob gave them the trait that they must now apparently bear until the
round restarts.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Less memory usage, more indepth ability to track suicides in case you
really need that dexterity. Currently no implemented code could benefit
from using it, but it would be pretty neat if someone could figure out a
way to have someone be guilt-tripped whenever they look into a mirror
and seeing the reflection of their past life? This PR won't actually
help you code that and it'll probably require a bit more work, but it's
a possibility of some cool interactions you can do when you have this
information available to you.

**1. Suit Storage Units**
- What about them?
1. You can print "suit storage unit" circuit boards from engineering &
science circuit printer's after research to make more suit storage
units, now since they behave like regular constructable machines you can
deconstruct them via screwdriver & crowbar.
2. You can upgrade its capacitor to get faster charging speeds
- Why its good for the game?
1. You can rebuild these in the event they get destroyed
2. Better tier capacitors = faster charging speeds
3. More storage units = More places to decontaminate your equipment +
Recharge more mod suits made in robotics
4. If you decide to leave the game or your done using a mod suit e.g. a
mining mod suit rather than keeping it to yourself or throwing it away,
just build a suit storage unit and hang it there so other players can
use it i.e., sharing is caring.
**2. Freezer Cabinet**
- What about them?
1. They are now craftable
3. You can deconstruct them with a welding tool.
- Why its good for the game?
1. You can now make more of them if they get stolen/destroyed
2. More places to store food, dead bodies, whatever
**3. Flood Lights**
- What about them?
They can now be fully deconstructed in the exact opposite sequence you
constructed them.
- First use screwdriver to open its panel
- Then use empty hand to remove light
- Then use screwdriver to unscrew the wiring from frame
- Use wire cutter to remove wiring completely
- Finally use wrench to completely deconstruct frame
- Why it's good for the game?
Reclaim used material to build flood light else where . Also much more

## About The Pull Request
Upon revolution success, the chosen headrev will now also receive a
megaphone, and a "revolutionary bedsheet" repurposed from a stolen CC
bedsheet to commemorate their success. The post-revs confusion and lack
of command/security usually leads to an instantaneous, total breakdown
in cohesion. It's every man for himself -- that's no way to run a
commune! Just because the revolution has succeeded and nobody can see
your big blue "R" anymore doesn't mean you can't be a leader!
This also adds a new revolution-themed negative station trait --
Post-Revolutionary Fervor. When present, this trait trashes the command
areas at the start of the round. This means cracked windows, broken
consoles, vendors getting knocked over, and the occasional dead
greytider.
If you start cleaning at the start of the round, you might finish right
as the next batch of revs decides to crop up.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Giving one of the headrevs a bigger voice and a cool cape (or uncool,
depending on how you view the sprite) means that there's a chance for
them to step up and try to keep the wheels on. Just remember -- Nobody
is obligated to actually listen to this person, it's just a bedsheet.
Adds a neato station trait, which probably counts as command gameplay
content.

Pinata's drop various items when struck with a sufficiently powerful

The pinata functionality is also a component so admins can turn any
structure/machine/mob into a pinata and customize the "candy" inside
Sprites by @Mey-Ha-Zah animated versions by me
## Why It's Good For The Game

players to accommodate a celebration based gimmicks or the party trait.
I think the options on things to do as a crew during a celebration are a
bit limited at present with most of the options being making/purchasing
food, activity wise the main example of a celebration item is pin the
tail on the corgi which is a bit uninteresting, the pinata on the other
hand is more cathartic and provides a "reward" in the form of various
candy items for people who participate in smashing it. I also think its
just funny to have clown operative gambling half their TC to try and get
explosives.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new field `item_owner` to `datum/objective_item` and
populates it for most objective items.
The function of this field is that the objective will fail to generate
if there isn't at least one player in the game with one of those roles.
This limits theft objectives to targets which are likely to be carried
around, missed if they become absent, or at least vaguely have someone
standing close to.
This has only been applied toprogression traitor secondary objectives.
While doing this I also culled a number of deprecated or tedious
objectives which we didn't use any more, such as every "steal a stack of
x" objective. And the plasma tank one. And the slime core one.
I also deleted any which nobody would miss, chiefly "an empty AI card".
There's plenty of those things and if one vanished nobody would notice
let alone be inconvenienced.
If anyone ever wants to bring them back for soul reasons it will be
retained in the commit history, that's what git is for.
The list is actually not particularly long now, so if people have good
ideas for more things to add to expand it again... well they could have
done that any time in the past 10 years but they can still do it now as
long as it isn't to fill it back up with things nobody will miss if they
are gone.
For myself, I added the robotics lab mech crowbar to the list as it
fulfils most of the criteria of "fire axe" but with the benefit of there
only being one on most maps.
I also removed the `difficulty` var which was undocumented, not set for
most objectives (all "low risk" objectives had a default difficulty of
`9001`), and unused.
Also I think this is my 100th PR so you have to be nice to me.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Traitor objectives (and antagonist objectives in general) should:
- Present you with a somewhat engaging task
- Encourage you to interact with at least one other player (at least by
"attempting to sneak past them")
- Move the state of the round forward in some way, usually by creating
inconvenience for at least one other person
Many current progression traitor objectives do not meet all (and some
perhaps not even any) of the above criteria and I am planning on making
a series of changes in order to address this. Expect to see this
paragraph copied/pasted into some other PRs probably.
This one is the simplest: Stealing an item from someone who literally
isn't in the game does not antagonise anyone. So we won't ask anyone to
do it.
## Changelog

balance: Traitor secondary objectives to steal or destroy an item are
now associated with a particular "owner" or "victim" and won't generate
themselves if nobody would actually be victimised by the crime.

roboticist's big crowbar, if there is one

chance for error. For example, the clown mob spawner had their faction
written as "clown", when the official faction name was "clowns", and a
define existed for it anyways! This PR moves every single string based
factions over here. No references or special role factions. Hopefully I
didn't miss anything.
I also moved a global define used for picking your uplink provider's
flavour to the only file that used it, datum_traitor.dm, and renamed
them a bit to avoid confusion.
I have also noticed that the mimic faction was assigned to the petrified
player with += instead of |=. |= would ensure no duplicate factions, so
I have changed it.
Future improvement:
I have noticed that there is a lot of bloat with factions that contain
only one or two entries (examples: gnomes, floating eyeballs, penguins,
the pet lizards), and some always appear in pairs (vines and plants, the
rare exceptions being killer tomatoes and strange reagent spawned pine
trees), but trimming consolidating them is a matter for a different
time.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes assigning factions a bit less error prone.
I can finally remove the ```/// Later all mob factions will be moved
here and their current factions replaced with faction defines.```
comment. Later is NOW.

## About The Pull Request
Went down a rabbit hole with touching the migo files... I noticed that
all of those mobs had a reference to `/datum/component/spawner` on them
which looked a bit off.
After investigation it seems like this component is breaking the
prinicple of using an ECS system by assigning a reference to itself on
every mob it creates? There doesn't seem to be a good reason to do that,
as we can just use signals.
This also doesn't work for basic mobs, because most of them don't _have_
this reference to assign to. If we don't want to add it to every basic
mob (and why would we?) it would make more and more converted mobs
invalid for spawners.
Also it means that it has never been valid to create a Monkey spawner,
which seems like a big oversight.
I replaced all of the parts dependent on telling the mob where it was
spawned from with signals.
Megafauna seemed to have a reasonable amount of code related to "not
straying a certain distance from what spawned them", but as far as I can
tell unless someone varedited one onto a map we have never had a spawner
which creates megafauna (nor would we want one? That would virtually
always cause it to respawn instantly after being killed).
## Why It's Good For The Game
Improves future maintainability
Brings implementation up to current standards.
Makes the code work the way I would have assumed it already worked in
the first place.

fix: Mob spawners will no longer break if instructed to spawn certain
kinds of basic mob, or monkeys.
