## About The Pull Request
Ok so like, in byond. if you click on something and release the click
without moving off its sprite, that counts as a "click"
If you however move your mouse off its sprite, or it does so on its own,
any further releases count as dragdrops.
We already have logic for catching drag -> mouse back over sprite. The
code I'm adding here basically is just a bit nicer about how exact you
need to be
I'm adding tweakable values for how much your mouse is allowed to move
(This isn't perfect currently, since if the target itself moves we don't
care, need to work on this) in a short time period. If you meet these
cases, we instead call it a click.
They're globs for now cause I don't have a good feel for em, will tweak
over time. I want to reduce dumb clickspam and click dragging moving
mobs/drifting items by accident.
Oh also fixed a bug in ai behaviors that came from not knowing what
get_active_hand did
Fixes a monkey behavior of using their held item
It turns out it never worked, and the only reason it didn't runtime was
because of an if() check that got passed the result of an invalid proc
call. this fixes that
## Why It's Good For The Game
Spam clicking and drag clicking are stupid. they should be less stupid
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds a grace period for hit detection, between clicking ON someone,
and then moving your mouse off before releasing the click. It's short,
hopefully it helps with stupid

* Object Window Niceties
Alright. I got bored and polished up the object/alt click window.
It had a few issues:
First, we generated all our images in bulk, as soon as requested
Second, the caching was global, despite only working on a client to
client basis
Third, we only generated up to 10 images. This could be fine, but the
javascript code will continuiously rerender assuming unrendered images
will come eventually, and they well, weren't. This caused MASSIVE
clientside lag
Fourth and finally, I did not like how moving away from the viewed turf
lagged behind, in sync with the stat tab update. Looked bad.
I've resolved all these.
I solved the first three issues by reworking how obj images were
generatated and managed.
Rather then storing a basic cache on the subsystem, and doing all the
image generation at once, we queue up image generation as we like, and
generate images inside a new processing subsystem fire.
This isn't the best solution, since it still eats cpu somewhat, but it's
a whole lot better then the other options, outside either removing the
need to getflat, or somehow predicting what items a client will want to
see
I've started storing three bits of info. First, a list of all the
objects we currently want to display.
Second, a list of atom -> image html
Third, a list of atoms to imageify.
This information is stored on a datum on /client, since I want this to
have a lifetime linked to well, clients.
I've used this datum to solve that fourth bit, using a component I made
for parallax a bit back. This lets me react to our client's mob, and
update the tab linked to that, rather then on a subsystem call by call
basis.
That's about it.

About The Pull Request
Just to be clear, when I refer to time here, I am not talking about cpu time. I'm talking about real time.
This doesn't significantly reduce the amount of work we do, it just removes a lot of the waiting around we need to do for db calls to finish.
Adds queuing support to sql bans, so if an ongoing ban retrieval query is active any successive ban retrieval attempts will wait for the active query to finish
This uses the number/blocking_query_timeout config option, I hope it's still valid
This system will allow us to precache ban info, in parallel (or in batches)
With this, we can avoid needing to setup all uses of is_banned_from to support parallelization or eat the cost of in-series database requests
Clients who join after initialize will now build a ban cache automatically
Those who join before init is done will be gathered by a batch query sent by a new subsystem, SSban_cache.
This means that any post initalize uses of is_banned_from are worst case by NATURE parallel (since the request is already sent, and we're just waiting for the response)
This saves a lot of headache for implementers (users) of the proc, and saves ~0.9 second from roundstart setup for each client (on /tg/station)
There's a lot of in series is_banned_from calls in there, and this nukes them. This should bring down roundstart join times significantly.
It's hard to say exactly how much, since some cases generate the ban cache at other times.
At base tho, we save about 0.9 seconds of real time per client off doing this stuff in parallel.
Why It's Good For The Game
When I use percentages I'm speaking about cost per player
I don't like how slow roundstart feels, this kills about 66% of that. the rest is a lot of misc things. About 11% (it's actually 16%) is general mob placing which is hard to optimize. 22% is manifest generation, most of which is GetFlatIcons which REALLY do not need to be holding up the main thread of execution.
An additional 1 second is constant cost from a db query we make to tell the server we exist, which can be made async to avoid holding the proc chain.
That's it. I'm bullying someone into working on the manifest issue, so that should just leave 16% of mob placing, which is really not that bad compared to what we have now.
Changelog

* Alright, so I'm optimizing parallax code so I can justify making it do a
bit more work
To that end, lets make the checks it does each process event based.
There's two. One is for a difference in view, which is an easy fix since
I added a view setter like a year back now.
The second is something planets do when you change your z level.
This gets more complicated, because we're "owned" by a client.
So the only real pattern we can use to hook into the client's mob's
movement is something like connect_loc_behalf.
So, I've made connect_mob_behalf. Fuck you.
This saves a proc call and some redundant logic
* Fixes random parallax stuttering
Ok so this is kinda a weird one but hear me out.
Parallax has this concept of "direction" that some areas use, mostly
the shuttle transit ones. Set when you move into a new area.
So of course it has a setter. If you pass it a direction that it doesn't
already have, it'll start up the movement animation, and disable normal
parallax for a bit to give it some time to get going.
This var is typically set to 0.
The problem is we were setting /area/space's direction to null in
shuttle movement code, because of a forgotten proc arg.
Null is of course different then 0, so this would trigger a halt in
parallax processing.
This causes a lot of strange stutters in parallax, mostly when you're
moving between nearspace and space. It looks really bad, and I'm a bit
suprised none noticed.
I've fixed it, and added a default arg to the setter to prevent this
class of issue in future. Things look a good bit nicer this way
* Adds animation back to parallax
Ok so like, I know this was removed and "none could tell" and whatever,
and in fairness this animation method is a bit crummy.
What we really want to do is eliminate "halts" and "jumps" in the
parallax moveemnt. So it should be smooth.
As it is on live now, this just isn't what happens, you get jumping
between offsets. Looks frankly, horrible. Especially on the station.
Just what I've done won't be enough however, because what we need to do
is match our parallax scroll speed with our current glide speed. I need
to figure out how to do this well, and I have a feeling it will involve
some system of managing glide sources.
Anyway for now the animation looks really nice for ghosts with default
(high) settings, since they share the same delay.
I've done some refactoring to how old animation code worked pre (4b04f9012d). Two major
changes tho.
First, instead of doing all the animate checks each time we loop over a
layer, we only do the layer dependant ones. This saves a good bit of
time.
Second, we animate movement on absolute layers too. They're staying in
the same position, but they still move on the screen, so we do the same
gental leaning. This has a very nice visual effect.
Oh and I cleaned up some of the code slightly.
* Removes an unused var from /client
`inprefs` isn't used anywhere, i checked to when it was added (~5 years
ago) and it wasn't even really used then. I think it used to be used to
track topic calls / slowdown some href issues but it isn't any more.
Byebye!!
* Removes some unused mob verbs + client var
`canface` and `east/west/north/southface` used to be used to set
direction but these are no longer used and are thus taking up
unnecessary space
About The Pull Request
I noticed a lot of strange and un-intuitive behavior in action buttons, and got stung by the bloat bug. Damn it hug #58027
I'll do my best to explain what I've changed and why, might get a bit long.
If you want a better idea, read the commits. Most of em are pretty solid, if long.
Whelp. Here we go.
How do action buttons currently work
All action buttons are draggable, to any place on the screen. They're held in an actions list on the player's mob.
Their location in this list determines their position on the top of the screen. If one is dragged away from the top, its position in the list is "saved". This looks really bad.
If two buttons are dragged over each other, their positions swap. (inside the actions list too)
If a button is shift clicked, it is brought back to the position it started at.
If the action collapse button that you likely just mentally edit out is alt clicked, it resets the position of all action buttons on the screen.
If an action is ctrl clicked, it is "locked". This prevents any future position changes, and also enables a saving feature. With this saving feature, locked button positions persist between rounds. So your first o2 canister will always start where you saved it, etc.
Actions and buttons are a one to one link. While there is functionality to share action buttons between two players, this means showing the same object to both. So one player can move a button on another's screen. Horrendous.
This also makes code that modifies properties of the screen object itself very clunky.
Why is this bad
A: None knew pretty much any of this information. It is actually documented, just in a horribly formatted screen tip on the collapse button, you know the one we all mentally delete from the hud.
B: None of this is intuitive. Dragging buttons makes the hud look much worse, and you get no feedback that you even can drag them. Depressing
C: We use actions to make new options clear to the player. This means players can have a lot of action buttons on the hud. This gets cluttery
D: The collapse button is useless. It lets you clear your screen if someone like me fucks up and gives you 2000 actions, but outside of that it just hides all information from you. You never want to see none of your action buttons, just a filtered list of them.
E: On a technical level, they're quite messy, and not fully functionally complete. This is depressing.
What I've done
Assuming the above to be true, how do we fix them?
Well first I'm going to go over everything I changed, including links to major commits. I'll then describe the finished product, and why I made the decisions I did.
Oh and I've moved some of the more niche or technical discussion to dropdowns. Hopefully this makes finding the major functional changes easier
Adds helper procs for turning screen_loc strings into more manageable arrays. This doesn't fully support all of the screen_loc spec, but it's enough for what I'm doing. (f54865f)
Uses these helper procs to improve existing code (6273b93)
Fixes an issue with tooltip code itself. If you tried to hold down a mouse button while dragging onto a tooltip enabled object, it would silently fail. The js made assumptions about the order args came in, which broke when buttons were held down (e0e42f6)
Adds a signal linked to /client/Click(). Surprised we didn't have this before honestly (c491a4a)
Makes /client/MouseDrag() return parent. If we don't do this, any overrides of MouseDrag will never actually be called (2190b2a)
Refactors how action buttons work under the hood (53ccce2)
Basically, rather then generating one button per action, we generate one button per viewer
Starts to change button behavior, more cleanup
Changes the mouse cursor when an action button is dragged. Hopefully
this makes moving things feel less like an accident, and makes you doing
it more clear
Removes the moved and locked vars. This will be more relevant later, but
for now:
Moved exists as a sort of budget "We've been dragged" variable. We can
handle this more cleanly, and the movable type doesn't care about it
Locked is a very old variable that is also not something that the
movable type "owns". It's more an action button thing that's been moved
down.
It exists so an action can be locked in place, and in that locking, be
treated as a "saved location"
(21e20fc)
Because I've nuked move, we don't need to directly set our button's
position. We can use the default_button_position var instead. This is
quite handy.
Please ignore position_action, I will explain that later
(83e265e)
Removes the buttons locked pref
It was another obscure part of action buttons, basically do buttons
start "locked" or not. See previous discussion of locked
(b58b1bd)
Major rework starts here
Alright. Sorry for this, this is where me not commiting regularly starts
to suck. I'll do my best though.
Rather then figuring out an action button's position via a combination
of the moved and ordered vars, we use a separate location var to store
one of a few defines. This makes life later much easier.
Adds tooltip support for dragging action buttons. The way the tooltip
just froze in place when dragging really bugged me, and lead to some
nasty visual artifacts.
This is a bit messy because the drag procs are horrible, but it's
workable
Dropping a button on another button will no longer swap their positions
Behavior instead depends on the target button.
If it's a part of a group (A concept I will explain later) the dragged
button is simply inserted before it in the group's list.
If it's floating on the general hud, we instead position the dragged
button to its right. There's extra logic here to ensure buttons will
never overflow the screen, but I'll get into that later.
Alright. That's most of the refactoring. Time for the larger behavior
changes.
Adds a button palette. This is a separate dropdown that renders
underneath buttons.
image
The idea is to allow for a conceptual separation between "important"
buttons and the ones that end up cluttering the screen.
You can click on the dropdown to open it, then any later clicks that
don't involve actions in some way will autoclose it.
My goal is to come up with an alternative for the action button that
just acted as a way to hide all buttons on screen. Not convinced it saw
much use.
As a side effect of removing that, I've moved its tooltip stuff to the
palette. I've properly formatted it, so hopefully it's easier to read
then the jumble that we used to have.
(You can alt click the palette button to reset all button positions)
Oh and the palette can scroll, since as you'll see later it has a
limited size.
image
Moving on from that, I've added what amounts to action landing buttons.
These allow buttons to rejoin groups, or be positioned at the end of a
line of buttons.
image
They've got a 32x32 hitbox, and only show up when dragging. Hopefully
this makes the system more clear just by dragging an action.
Oh and I've changed how button position updating works. The old system
of calling update_action_buttons on mob every time an action button
changes position is gone, mostly because I've setup more robust
grouping. Will discuss when I get to huds
(0d1e93f)
Adds the backbone behind action button position changes (94133bd)
Moves hud defines to the global folder, safer this way (7260117)
Adds color changing to the palette button, giving some heads up for buttons being inserted into the palette automatically
image
image
Ensures a landing button is always shown, even if it needs to break the
max row rule
Makes palettes auto contract if they have no buttons inside them
Prevents palettes from being opened if they have no buttons inside them
(f9417f3)
How it looks
2022-02-26.02-30-10.mp4
Why It's Good For The Game
Players have more control over the clutter on their screen.
Buttons are available, but not in the way,
Since any player move of a button saves it, any lack of clarity in the way buttons work will be forced out by buttons not just resetting when a new game starts.
We don't overlap any existing screen elements, unless the upper button list gets really long.
The code is much less crummy (I think, may have made it worse it's hard for me to judge my own work)
If it ends up not being as usable as I'd like, I'll rip out the existing changes and just implement the qol and backend stuff. I think it's worth doing though.
Changelog
cl
add: Expanded heavily on action buttons
add: Adds an action button dropdown that sits just under the normal list in the top left. You can drag new buttons onto it to insert them. Click on it to show its contents, do what you want to do, then click again anywhere to contract it. Alt click it to reset all button positions
add: Action buttons will now remember their position between rounds. So if you really like your flashlight right next to your player for some reason, we support that now
add: When you start to drag an action button, docking ports will appear in places that it can be inserted into. (Outside of just floating somewhere on your screen of course)
del: Removed action button locking, and the associated preference. I'm reasonably sure literally none uses this, but if you do hit me up
qol: Dragging an action button will now give you an outline of its size around your cursor
fix: You can no longer cause the screen to expand by putting an action button on the edge of widescreen, and then resizing to standard.
refactor: Refactors action and button code significantly. lots of little things.
/cl
* Fit Viewport cleanup
Changes how Fit Viewport works slightly.
From what I understand, the verb was created with the goal of
eliminating the pixel hunting required to get rid of letterboxing.
This works fine for stretch to fit, but ever since the command bar got
nuked it's ended up creating a lot of blackspace for targeted zoom
modes.
I've changed how it decides on its optimal width slightly, if the client
has a non stretch to fit zoom mode, we use it, the world icon size and
the clients view size to figure out the exact width we want.
The bars on the left and right have been bugging me forever. Want them
gone.
In light of this, I'm also making changing your zoom amount attempt to
fit the viewport, if you have the pref enabled.
Oh and I'm trying something with auto fit viewport stuff.
It currently waits a second between view change and fitting. The comment
implies this is to avoid winget strangeness from Login calls. When I
blamed it, I found a commit from antruk talking about client dropping,
and this being a potential fix.
Unfortunately none wrote down what dropping means, and anturk's
forgotten.
I'm making the assumption that it's related to attempting the related
winsets before an inital login is over.
I might be wrong about this, if I am we'll know what went wrong I
suppose.
* Whoops, this needs to be invoke async
* Ensures client safety, autodocs code, adds proper cleanup
* Adds a subsystem to handle automated directional movement, replaces all instances of walk_towards with it. Makes meteors and immovable rods not drift in space, and makes immovable rods more destructive. Note, I've opted not to use byond's method of moving towards something, which is effectively Move(src, get_step(src, get_dir(src, target))) as it's cringe and doesn't make a smooth line. I've replaced it with a autoupdating rise over run setup, read the code for more details
* woop forgot the subsystem
* Documentation, contributing.md entry, and some cleanup
* Makes the moveloop datum more oop friendly, sets us up for a lot of conversions
* Converts the curseblob and walk_away() to the subsystem
* Changes the default for override from FALSE to TRUE
* converts walk() over, still need to add a replacement proc for it, but we didn't actually have anything that used the raw proc
* converts the rest of walk_to() over, nearing the end now
* cleans up some errors
* Fully documents everything, fills in some missing movement types, uses the power of oop to make things cleaner, and typepaths longer
* Finishes the contributing.md stuff
* Done
* Fefaults -> Defaults, can you tell I wrote this at 1AM?
* resolves bubblegum issues
* Roh's suggestions
Co-authored-by: Rohesie <rohesie@gmail.com>
* Cleanup
* Hey lemon, did you know that Destroy() lives on datums? ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
* Converts over the discrepencies created in my absense
* HAHA FUCK YOU I PAY MY DUES
* Whoops lost some stuff in the merge
* Converts the system from seconds to deciseconds to make dealing with the api more sane
* Some stuff I missed
* Makes movement an inheritable subsystem type, splits the moveloop file into two, one for the subsystem, and one for the datums
* Makes a subsystem that handles directing movers out to other subsystems. It's a bit bad right now, but it's a
good first step. I think I'll move the move loop datum to a lazy var on mobs instead of an assoc list, don't
like lists.
Also makes the movement procs global, I'll move em to the /movement subsystem at some point or something like
that
* Converts the existing uses of the procs over to the new format
* Adds support for subsystem precedence, so a type of A can override type B.
General cleanup, still kinda in debug mode but it's getting better
* I'll admit I'm not too familiar with this, but I think it will work
* Adds starting logic so movement types "pausing" makes any sense
Redoes how waiting is handled to make it based on world.time directly. I don't remember why. I think it's better
this way.
Adds a drifting movement type, moves space drift over to it.
Needs severe work before it's ready, too much info stored and modified on the moving object, see comment
Starts work on making drifting smooth
* Moves almost all space drifting vars over to signals on the movement datum
Properly implements glide size stuff for both the subsystem and the loops. Space drift will be smoother now.
It's not perfect, but it'll work just fine for now
Adds a way to override a client'd mob's glide size mid move, uses it to make entering a spacedrift look right
Adds a way to delay a client move outside of just move_delay, meant to be used for long periods, and setup such
that it doesn't make inputs persist
Adds flags to movement loops, alongside MOVELOOP_OVERRIDE_CLIENT_CONTROL, which blocks client movements while
the loop is firing, and for it's visual delay after
This means you can't exit a space drift until you hit the actual wall. This feels a lot better
Some general logic stuff, move() will return true/false if it succeeded or failed
Adds a stop_loop() proc that's called when a move loop is no longer active
Suck my nuts
* Moves precedence to the loop instead of the subsystem
* Moves drifting into a component, this lets me explictly block input after the move loop ends, so people can't
move the moment they functionally move onto a new tile
This is a bit underdeveloped currently, but that's a problem for another day
Cleans up some uses of move procs, fixes runtimes in metoer and curseblob code
Adds signals for stopping/starting a move loop, sending one for destroy is redundant.
Moves existing event signals from the movable being acted on to the loop itself, makes more sense this way
Makes the move handler return the created loop up the chain so we can register to it
Fixes a logic error in loop contesting code that lead to loops never actually being removed from subsystems
because they didn't know they should be.
Properly changes lifetime from a time to stop, to functionally an amount of moves to complete before stopping
Adds some new signals for pre/post loop process. This is to better tie into components.
I decided I didn't like the idea of tying all functionality to the loops themselves
The loop decides functionally how to move, components or just tied in signals can decide when/when not to move
and can modify properties of the loop
Making a new loop for things like atmos drift, something I'm interested in tackling in the future, seemed silly
* Moves movement procs directly to the subsystem for better namespacing or whatever
* Moves movement packets onto /atom/movable, no longer need the debugging
I've decided to not just put their contents fully onto atom movable, since it makes debugging on live much
harder, can't sdql for them anymore.
Fixes a runtime in meteor code, properly this time
Fixes a logic error in stop_looping
Makes move manager NO_INIT, because well, it doesn't init
* Commits human sin, makes Recover() work properly for movement subsystems
* Fixes immovable rod orbits not always working, they were returning too early in moved and fucking up the var we use to track move count, and thus not sending a signal properly
* Reworks the curseblob to use signals more, and to not use override
* Missed this in the movement ss commit
* Removes override, makes having a higher or equal precedence take its place
* Updates documentation
* Cleans up some unused defines
* Nukes the unused flags option
* Whoops forgot to qdel check
* Removes an unused var I had for client move prevention before I started using a component
* Let's do this properly
* Modernizes meteor code to better match how explosions actually work currently
* Some more cleanup
* Cleans up effect code a little bit
Nukes the effect system's sleep loop, we use movement loops instead
As a part of that, instead of 1 timer per effect spawned, we react to loop failure and make it 1 timer per
effect system
This should reduce the amoumt of slowdown we see after mass lighting break
It's not everything, we're still making a timer per spark effect, but it cuts things down significantly
* Updates explosions to not sleep
* Adds support for modifying a loops delay post process, makes extinguisher code suck less then it does currently, nukes some more sleeps and timer loops
* Converts water tank resin over to move loops rather then sleeps, minor behavior change mind, the cooldown starts on fire rather then on land, but I think that makes more sense anyway
* compile and runtime fix
* Fixes some runtimes, cleans up some code, ensures feature parity when it comes to logging
* Prevents resin foam from space drifting
* Adds support for flags back into the system, I need it for reasons
* Updates move_towards to fix some bugs and resolve some inconsistent behavior, implements a flag that makes a loop's first move start instantly
* Fixes extinguishers not actually transfering any reagents
* Converts sprays to the new system. This does actually minorly change behavior, in that I've changed the order of spray actions from step -> sleep -> wash to step -> wash -> sleep, but I'm not terribly torn up about it because frankly I think it feels better
* Converts grav catapults over to the new system
* Converts trays over to moveloops
* Converts robot streaking to move loops, the other two coming soon
* Compile you won't. Also fixes a behavior issue with oil streaks
* Does directional step_to properly, cleans up the other two streaking types
* Converts step_trigger over, not that it's actually used anywhere. Changes how stoping a move works, you need to explicitly qdel, other the step is just considered to be ignored. This will make life easier later
* Adds a jps movement loop. It's a bit bloaty, id is stupid, but it'll work just fine
* Makes the system support passing in a datum that's just used as extra context for the move. The hope is this makes signalizing things less of an absolute headache
* Begins the conversion of ai movement datums to movement loops
* These two are reasonably simple, only weird thing I'm doing is A: Not allowing target hotswapping, which I hope none is doing, and B: passing the controller into the move loop as extra context so things work properly
* JPS is a bit more complex, partially because the old implementation was a bit weird. 2 major things. 1: I'm dropping what I think was a redundant behavior minimum distance check from the premove bit of logic, since I'm pretty sure it didn't do anything. 2, instead of just stoping the step in an error state like being pulled, we count it against our max move total
* Audit
* Moves most forced movement to the framework, adds some components to make things nicer
* Implements a flag that makes the loop always operate, regardless of precedence and without impacting any other loops
* Moves movement subsystems into the right folder
* Hey potato what if you had two procs that did the same thing and one called the other? Wow it's useless
* Merges slipping and force movement
* Converys conveyors over to the system. It's a bit fragile, but I think it's totally worth it to save the sleep loop
* Precedence -> Priority, cleans up some logic errors, makes priority highest to lowest instead of lowest to highest, straight cleans some code up
* Makes poly and bubbles ignore spacedrift, now that precedence actually functions properly. I'm likely missing cases of this, will deal with it later
* Depression, thy name is linter
* Fixes linter, and hopefully fixes the runtimes in ci too
* Wew
* Sets sprays and extinguishers back to legacy, since people do actually seem to have noticed
* Spelling errors my beloved
Co-authored-by: Kylerace <kylerlumpkin1@gmail.com>
* More detail, moves return descriptions
* Converts transit tubes to the system?
* Adds the glide size modifier. Not honestly sure that this should be default, considering how crummy it makes things look for normal walking, but it's useful as hell here
* Adds a force move in dir template, actual support for fast initial steps (wtf old me) and a helper proc for setting delay
* Cleans up displosal code a bit, I thought about adding it to the system but it would functionally be just 'disposal loops'. Maybe I'll make a template subtype? not sure how I want to handle stuff like this
* Cleans up mob movement a bit
* Let's use the controller's visual delay
* Makes the resin thrower nicer, cries
* Cleans up some comments, replaces an implicit world.icon_size with an explicit one, fixes up a typecheck
* typecache instead of double istype. Can't do much about the !atom/movable, list would be too big I feel
* hhh
* bro wtf
* Documents the why of SS_TICKER
* Puts SSmovement on SS_TICKER. Lets us support tick steps
* Cleans up the charge action. Makes it use moveloops
* Fixes CI? kinda worried that this just got dropped
* Converts disposal pipes to move loops. They stutter a bit more then usual as of now, hoping that's a me thing, if it's not I'ma look at uping the priority of the base subsystem
* Moves the move subsystems off background, puts some on ssticker
* Prevents some things that shouldn't move in space from moving in space
* Documents the general form and usage of the system
* Virgin one vs chad once
Co-authored-by: Kylerace <kylerlumpkin1@gmail.com>
* Removes unneeded check
* Moves appropriate movement subsystems into SS_BACKGROUND. Removes redundant SS_KEEP_TIMINGs
I do want the behavior of SS_TICKER, which at this point is tick based waits, and ignoring overtime when
calculating next fire.
Since honestly, these subsystems should ignore overtime in regards to next fire, the cost of moving A may be
nothing compared to the cost of moving B.
* Makes the MODULUS macro use floor. I knew our coders would never let me down, glad this exists, thanks ninja
Fixes teleporting caused by shitty round() behavior, adds a "you hit your target" case to homing loops
* Converts blood splatters to move loops, that'll do it

a month or two ago i realized that on master the reason why get_hearers_in_view() overtimes so much (ie one of our highest overtiming procs at highpop) is because when you transmit a radio signal over the common channel, it can take ~20 MILLISECONDS, which isnt good when 1. player verbs and commands usually execute after SendMaps processes for that tick, meaning they can execute AFTER the tick was supposed to start if master is overloaded and theres a lot of maptick 2. each of our server ticks are only 50 ms, so i started on optimizing this.
the main optimization was SSspatial_grid which allows searching through 15x15 spatial_grid_cell datums (one set for each z level) far faster than iterating over movables in view() to look for what you want. now all hearing sensitive movables in the 5x5 areas associated with each spatial_grid_cell datum are stored in the datum (so are client mobs). when you search for one of the stored "types" (hearable or client mob) in a radius around a center, it just needs to
iterate over the cell datums in range
add the content type you want from the datums to a list
subtract contents that arent in range, then contents not in line of sight
return the list
from benchmarks, this makes short range searches like what is used with radio code (it goes over every radio connected to a radio channel that can hear the signal then calls get_hearers_in_view() to search in the radios canhear_range which is at most 3) about 3-10 times faster depending on workload. the line of sight algorithm scales well with range but not very well if it has to check LOS to > 100 objects, which seems incredibly rare for this workload, the largest range any radio in the game searches through is only 3 tiles
the second optimization is to enforce complex setter vars for radios that removes them from the global radio list if they couldnt actually receive any radio transmissions from a given frequency in the first place.
the third optimization i did was massively reduce the number of hearables on the station by making hologram projectors not hear if dont have an active call/anything that would make them need hearing. so one of hte most common non player hearables that require view iteration to find is crossed out.
also implements a variation of an idea oranges had on how to speed up get_hearers_in_view() now that ive realized that view() cant be replicated by a raycasting algorithm. it distributes pregenerated abstract /mob/oranges_ear instances to all hearables in range such that theres at max one per turf and then iterates through only those mobs to take advantage of type-specific view() optimizations and just adds up the references in each one to create the list of hearing atoms, then puts the oranges_ear mobs back into nullspace. this is about 2x as fast as the get_hearers_in_view() on master
holy FUCK its fast. like really fucking fast. the only costly part of the radio transmission pipeline i dont touch is mob/living/Hear() which takes ~100 microseconds on live but searching through every radio in the world with get_hearers_in_radio_ranges() -> get_hearers_in_view() is much faster, as well as the filtering radios step
the spatial grid searching proc is about 36 microseconds/call at 10 range and 16 microseconds at 3 range in the captains office (relatively many hearables in view), the new get_hearers_in_view() was 4.16 times faster than get_hearers_in_view_old() at 10 range and 4.59 times faster at 3 range
SSspatial_grid could be used for a lot more things other than just radio and say code, i just didnt implement it. for example since the cells are datums you could get all cells in a radius then register for new objects entering them then activate when a player enters your radius. this is something that would require either very expensive view() calls or iterating over every player in the global list and calling get_dist() on them which isnt that expensive but is still worse than it needs to be
on normal get_hearers_in_view cost the new version that uses /mob/oranges_ear instances is about 2x faster than the old version, especially since the number of hearing sensitive movables has been brought down dramatically.
with get_hearers_in_view_oranges_ear() being the benchmark proc that implements this system and get_hearers_in_view() being a slightly optimized version of the version we have on master, get_hearers_in_view_as() being a more optimized version of the one we have on master, and get_hearers_in_LOS() being the raycasting version currently only used for radios because it cant replicate view()'s behavior perfectly.

This is for the admin combo HUD. Players shouldn't notice any difference (except at roundend).
2021-11-09T16-27-26.mp4
Removes the ability to set custom antag HUDs for custom admin teams for complexity, though if there's a large enough demand I can try to bring it back in another PR.
Fixes#59767

About The Pull Request
Rewrites the entire preferences menu in tgui. Rewrites the entire backend to be built upon datumized preferences, rather than constant additions to the preferences base datum.
Splits game preferences into its own window.
Antagonists are now split into their individual rulesets. You can now be a roundstart heretic without signing up for latejoin heretic, as an example.
This iteration matches parity, and provides very little new functionality, but adding anything new will be much easier.

About The Pull Request
Ports and improves my interview system that has been previously used in the summer ball and toolbox tournament events. Allows for a 'softer' panic bunker, wherein players who fall below the required living time limit can still join the server and be restricted to filling out a questionnaire. Upon completing the questionnaire, the player may be allowed into the server by an administrator. If the application is approved, they get a notification that they will be reconnected and upon reconnecting will have all verbs as they usually would. If the application is denied the user is put on a cooldown after which they may submit a new questionnaire.
Players who are being interviewed (herein interviewees) have no verbs other than those required for the stat panel to function, as well as a verb to pull up the interview panel. Interviews do not persist through restarts, and the ability to join that is granted by an accepted interview is only valid for the duration of that round.
Open interviews are listed under a new 'interviews' tab for admins, which is VERY similar to the existing tickets tab.
Below is what a player who is flagged as an interviewee will see when they join the server. They can do nothing but respond to the questionnaire or leave.
image
This is what an administrator sees after an interview is submitted, they will also see a corresponding message within their chatbox, and an age-old BWOINK when an interview is submitted.

FAQ:
What happens if someone submits an interview when no admins are on? It's treated like adminhelps are, the message gets sent to TGS to be dispatched off to configured end-points (like Discord or IRC), and the user is notified that their interview was handled this way.
Can you configure the questions? Yes, in config/ there is now a interviews.txt file in which the welcome message and the individual questions can be set and modified.
Can this be turned on and off during a round? Yes, it can be toggled like the panic bunker. It requires the panic bunker to be raised in order to function.
Can interviewees have further questions asked to them? Yes, if you admin-pm them, which is possible using regular means or a conveniently placed button on the interview UI, they will be able to respond to the message.
Technical details
To use the interview system you must have the panic bunker enabled, this is an additional setting for the panic bunker. It can be set through the PANIC_BUNKER_INTERVIEW setting in config.txt, or alternatively enabled in-game as prompted during the panic bunker toggling process. It also can be toggled on its own using a verb added for this purpose, Toggle PB Interviews found under the server tab. These new actions are included in the logging for the panic bunker. I have also added a reporting stat to the world topic status keyword, which now reports if the interview system is on using the keyword interviews.
As mentioned above, for server operators, configure the questions and welcome message in config/interviews.txt.
Note to maintainers and those with big brains I had to add a call to init_verbs on the stat panel window being ready because seemingly a race condition exists wherein the add_verb of the 'view my interview' verb doesn't cause a refresh of the tabs (and therefore doesn't show the 'Interview' tab) when running in dream daemon but running it directly from visual studio code properly shows the tab. Adding a init_verbs call directly after adding the verb didn't seem to help.
A note for downstreams
If you don't use the HTML stat panel (which may not be a bad thing) then you will have to do some conversion from the HTML stat panel stuff used here to the old style stat panels. It's pretty trivial, but just be aware of that. You can see how I used to use the old stat panels in my PR from the summer ball, here, which should be helpful.
Why It's Good For The Game
This allows for a softer version of the panic bunker which impedes the flow of malicious players while allowing genuine players a chance to enter a round to gain enough time to not be affected by the panic bunker's restrictions.

Replaces goonchat with a tgui based chat panel
Fixes#52898Fixes#52663
It is as fast as goonchat was (if not faster in certain circumstances), and is very extensible. It has all the necessary code for sorting messages into categories, which means that one of the next features will be multiple tab support.
Additional features that you will get with tgchat right now:
Massively faster server-side performance compared to goonchat, especially if batching multiple messages to one client.
Message persistence across rounds and reconnects. (All messages are stored client-side in IndexedDB)
More robust scroll tracking. If you scroll up, it will not change the scroll position on new messages like goonchat did.
Multiple message combining. (Currently set to combine up to 5 messages over last 5 seconds).
If using the highlighting feature, it highlights the whole message as well as the matching word.
"Now playing" widget, with preview of the song title, a knob for adjusting the volume and a stop button.
Architecture is as following:
```
to_chat() -+
|
SSchat
(queue, batching)
|
window.send_message()
|
v
+-------------+
| tgui-panel |
|+-----------+|
|| tgchat ||
|+-----------+|
+-------------+
```
Subsystem is basically goonchat, but without all the garbage that slows the servers down (string concatenation, double urlencoding, sanitizing, etc). Now, instead of all that, it's being slowed down by json_encode in /datum/tgui_window/proc/send_message, which IMO is completely worth it, and allows sending various templates and widgets to tgchat.
/datum/tgui_window abstracts the whole window away from you, establishes a nice message-passing interface between DM and JS, with two message queues on each side, automatically loads js/css assets for you, basically does everything. You as a developer only have to worry about sending/receiving messages and write javascript.
tgui-panel is a slimmed down version of tgui, and functions as a container for various widgets, and tgchat is one of them. It of course can be expanded with more stuff.
It's also a separate entry point and a JS bundle, so it's not bloating the main tgui bundle, and is currently sitting at about 230kB.

About The Pull Request
This PR adds medical wounds, new forms of injuries that people can suffer that cause debilitation and complications, and often require more than what can be found in a medkit to treat. But let's be honest, big complicated walls of text about medical changes make people's eyes glaze over easily- so I created a handy infograph to explain the basics!
Also there's a full guide here!
dreamseeker_2020-04-18_20-42-19.png
The infograph may not be fully up to date with the specifics of the PR's status, but it'll be updated along with major changes so people have something to use as a crash course for familiarizing themselves with how wounds function. I also have another infograph with all 9 of the possible initial wounds coming, and will be up soon. You can also find the longform design doc here with more info on the broad details, including descriptions of treatments: hackmd whee
What this does
There's a lot to cover, but here's the bullet points of the main features and changes:
Getting lots of damage on a limb can result in wounds, with more damage causing worse wounds. These can range from dislocated joints and minor cuts to compound fractures and fourth degree burns, and can affect you in different ways depending on what bodypart they're applied to (namely with broken bones).
You can damage individual bodyparts on clothing (only jumpsuits for now) through the use of lasers and sharp weapons. Bodyparts that reach max damage are considered "shredded" and will not apply any protection for that zone until it is repaired with cloth. If all zones are disabled, the entire piece of clothing is shredded and unwearable until repaired with 3 cloth. Jumpsuits give a small amount of wound protection, and since sharp weapons and lasers generally get extra wound bonuses against bare flesh, even a plain jumpsuit provides decent protection from a few laser shots or scalpel stabs.
Lasers gain a powerful niche versus unarmored/lightly armored carbons! As noted above, lasers can shred clothing and burn away zones of jumpsuits in 2 shots each, after which the target's bare flesh is exposed (barring other clothing), and lasers excel at dealing burn wounds against uncovered skin. Think big, nasty charring!
Bleeding is now totally limb based, and gauze is as well. Bleeding is also 95% cut wound based, meaning sharp weapons make you bleed rather than just having 40+ brute on a limb.
The more wounds and damage you get on a bodypart, the easier it'll be to gain more severe wounds. Wounds are arranged from Moderate, to Severe, to Critical in increasing severity, and you'll generally have to suffer the lesser ones before getting the worse ones.

Above: Scars from healed wounds
ShareX_2020-05-15_06-55-20.png
Above: Actual combat involving someone's head getting cracked
Here's a quick, if non-exhaustive, list of things I have left to do before I consider it feature complete
Finish adding treatments for each wound type/severity (mostly surgeries/triage for critical wounds)
Add second winds for bad injuries to give the victim a chance to get away
Flesh out severe & critical injuries in general
Find sprites for the bonesetter, bone gel, and anything else that might be needed
Add the medical items for treating the less severe wounds to the station
Polish code and remove any redundancies I left behind
Quick balance pass to make sure nothing is horribly abuseable
Why It's Good For The Game
Adds a flexible new system for representing damage on carbons with injuries that can be treated in different ways. Moderate wounds from getting toolboxed or sliced with a scalpel can usually be treated by a buddy or even by yourself with the right tools, but getting flayed with a fireaxe or a laser gun emptied into your bare skin may require extra attention or even surgery in bad cases! Also makes laser guns cooler and more like 40k lasguns that can flash fry people (cool!)
This should also make spessmen more resilient and harder to kill outright, while still adding consequences and complications to getting hurt. Wounds aren't immediately fatal, but they can do things like slow down interactions, deal damage over time through infections, and generally make you more fragile until fixed. They can also give you a "second wind" on being applied that gives you a small adrenaline boost (or whatever) to help disengage and escape immediate danger.
Changelog
🆑 Ryll/Shaps
add: Introduces medical wounds, new injuries that can happen to fleshy carbons when they sustain lots of damage on a bodypart. There's quite a lot of change here, but you can read the guide at: https://tgstation13.org/wiki/Guide_to_wounds and an extended changelog is available here: https://hackmd.io/l_FI9b3tSqa_woDadewJXA
add: Introduces scars and temporal scarring! Healing a wound leaves a scar behind that can be seen by examining someone twice rapidly, and if Temporal Scarring is enabled in character prefs, surviving a round with scars will save them to be granted at roundstart another round! Let your body tell stories!
tweak: Bleeding is now fully bodypart-focused, and 95% of bleeding comes from cut wounds from sharp weapons. Gauze is applied on a limb-by-limb basis, and helps staunch bloodflow rather than totally stop it. Notably, you no longer bleed just from having 40+ brute damage on a limb.
del: Organic bodyparts are no longer disabled at maximum damage, but are easier to cause wounds to
add: O2 medkits in emergency lockers have been replaced with new emergency medkits with basic tools for diagnosing and treating wounds and basic damage
tweak: Herapin now rapidly increases bleeding on all open cuts, rather than causing bleeding by itself. The more cuts on the target, the more it will affect them.
tweak: Neckgrab table slams now hit the targeted limb rather than just the head, with a large chance to dislocate or break a bone
tweak: Sharp weapons and burning weapons can now shred zones on jumpsuits, disabling protection on that limb. Damaged clothes can be repaired with cloth.
tweak: Slaughter demons now deal less raw damage, but gain the ability to cause cut wounds, which becomes more powerful with each attack on a humanoid but resets when bloodcrawling.
