## About The Pull Request
Renames m_intent to move_intent and moves it to the living level
renames tod to station_timestamp_timeofdeath
removes stun_absorption and see_override as one was unused and the other
was never actually implemented
## Why It's Good For The Game
Many vars on the mob and living level were intended to be on the living
and carbon level, but weren't for one reason or another. Generally it
was out of laziness to ensure the mobs being checked for these vars were
the intended mobs, and there's some todo comments on how they want it
changed in the future, though it never happened.
I'm hoping to get these all down in the future, I originally wanted to
move ``stat`` from mob to living but it had hundreds of errors so I
didn't want to do it all here.

## About The Pull Request
Noticed one of these snowmen drop an ash walker earlier today, and
thought I would have that fixed for consistency's sake, as there's no
ash walkers on icemoon. After I done that, I felt weird for just cutting
out a thing like that, so figured a replacement: eskimos. So yeah.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consistency: There's no more ash walker corpses in legions on Icemoon,
as there's no, and never was, any living ones.
Fluff: Eskimos that replace them make much more sense.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Gave snow legions a separate corpse-drop pool: ash walkers
excluded, but eskimos included.

## About The Pull Request
Might as well go over all of them here.
1. Holoparasites deal half of the damage they take as clone damage to
their summoner when they are knocked out. Now it deals damage to the
brain instead.
2. Prion peptides used to deal a little bit of clone damage every
reagent tick. Now they do it to the brain.
3. When transforming back to human from a slime via a shapeshift spell,
the total damage you have gets flat converted into clone damage. Now it
gets flat converted to toxin damage.
4. Black stabilized slimes let you drain health from other people if you
latched onto them, dealing clone damage to whoever you latched onto,
same as slimes used to do. This has been converted to brute damage.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Explanation from #77569:
> Clone damage is a damage type that shouldn't exist anymore, it's a
relic left from the era of cloning and it's so specific of a damage type
that it rarely gets used as a result. It really should be a type of
affliction (wound etc) instead of its own damage counter.
Only a few left to go, cosmic heretic lore, the greed ruin and the
decloner gun. Then we can remove clone damage completely.

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Traitor's Camera Bug item with an application that allows
you to view camera apps.
The difference between this app and the Security one is that it does not
have an access requirement, does not make noise (it didn't previously
due to a bug, fixed in this PR), and can be installed on PDAs.
This can also be installed from syndienet, which means nukies now have a
way to see the station cameras while off the ship.
Adds Syndicate app disks, which are made of Gold. This is only used by
the Camera app as of right now.
I also fixed some issues along the way;
- Camera tablet app now properly shows cameras
- It now properly makes the noises it is supposed to
- It clears the viewers properly on the ui being closed or the app being
exited.
Syndicate app disks ddelete their apps upon being transferred over (like
maintenance disks), trying to remain consistent with previous behavior.
I also made this for a [personal project I am currently working
on](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA). I could just make this UI
be TGUI, but I thought it could be worth trying to turn it into a better
item first.
Tracking people is much simpler now- You choose anyone from a list of
people found on cameras, and it will try to find a camera that sees
them. It follows them until you close the app or switch camera.

## Why It's Good For The Game
The Camera Bug is one of the worst traitor items as of current. You can
remotely shut off a single camera, something that can be done with basic
tools you are likely carrying around anyways, and uses an HTML clunky UI
to flip through cameras.
This new Traitor item makes it much easier to use, since the camera
consoles are something you are likely already used to.
It also means emagging a tablet is slightly more useful, and golden data
disks are pretty cool.
Unfortunately this means that they no longer grant illegal tech, because
otherwise you can simply clone the app infinitely for personal use, and
deconstruct the disk itself for tech. This can be grinded into gold, but
I think if we want an illegal tech item, it'll have to find a new host.

You shouldn't ever qdel a callback. If you don't want to own it free
your ref (remove it from a list/set it to null). When all refs are
cleared it'll get cleaned up by byond itself
`mind.transfer_to` sets mind to null.
`mind.set_original_character` thus, should not work, but happens to
because BYOND incorrectly caches this.
This is causing problems with OpenDream because they do not have this

will escape and dig away. also if he sense a storm is coming he will dig

escape from u but u can now befriend the goldgrub. if u feed him ores he
will love u and become ur pet u can ride him or make him follow u. he
will also help u mine, if u leave him to mine for a bit and come back to
him later u can ask him to spit out all the materials he mined and he
will give them to u. also if u feed him a bluespace ore, he will lay an

1. Removes `/obj/machinery/ore_silo/proc/remote_attackby()`. This proc
calls `datum/component/material_container/user_insert()` anyway which
performs all the checks necessary for inserting stuff into the ore silo
and `/obj/machinery/ore_silo/proc/remote_attackby()` was just repeating
its code & checks. So now inserting into the ore silo is directly
handled by the mat container without this proxy proc making the
operation slightly faster
2. Removed silo `attackby` code. Same operations can be done via
`screwdriver_act` & `crowbar_act` procs much cleaner
3. The ore silo now hooks onto signals
`COMSIG_MATCONTAINER_ITEM_CONSUMED` and
`COMSIG_MATCONTAINER_SHEETS_RETRIVED` and logs into silo when they are
triggered. This means when you insert/eject sheets from the silo the
connected machine performing the operation no longer has to do the
logging manually thus the proc `silo_log` has been removed from a lot of
places ,reducing overall code size
4. A lot of stuff that use materials from the ore silo follow this
pattern.
i.e. They first use the materials from the silo and then log it via
`silo_log` proc. This code pattern is repeated in a lot of places so
let's just merge these 2 lines with some extra sanity checks into a
single proc inside `remote_materials` itself. That's what was done and
the number of places where you log manually into the silo has been
removed further reducing code size everywhere.
5. Added auto doc & cleaned up some procs
Since logging is now done by the ore silo directly, we need a way to
pass the machine that is inserting items into the silo to the signal
handlers of the ore silo [via the `context` var]. So other code changes
elsewhere is because of this var

~~I wanted to do this after #77700 (wow cool numbers) but nobody has
merged it yet despite how simple it is so i'll just hope they don't
conflict.~~ Thanks san
I'm fucking about with mining mobs with the intention of making them
more interesting but not necessarily towards making mining _harder_, but
some of these changes unquestionably have done so.
These changes are mostly in response to feedback about Watchers who are
definitely significantly more threatening than previously, although some
of this is user error.
- Watchers are annoying when traversing lavaland because they use their
ability on you instantly upon acquiring a target, if you are trying to
escape other fauna this quickly becomes deadly.
- A lot of players don't really realise what the overwatch ability is
actually doing and so just complain about getting machine gunned.
- If you _do_ react properly to the ability it still makes fighting them
take a lot longer than it used to.
- The "look away" icon is hard to see in the dark sometimes
To ammeliorate these factors I have:
- Reduced watcher health by ~20%
- Display an alerted graphic over the head of the watcher every time you
trigger the overwatch.
- Multiple watchers now won't overwatch you at the same time (this made
the "penalty" volley essentially become instant death)
- The "look away" icon is rendered above the lighting plane so you can
always see it
- Added a new component which tracks how long a mob has had a specific
target.
- - Watchers will now only Overwatch you if they've seen you for at
least 5 seconds (usually they'll try and shoot at you twice before
this).
- - Goliaths will only tentacle you if they've seen you for at least 3
seconds.
If overwatch is still problematic after this I guess I can just nerf it
to not track movement at all and only respond to attacks.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I don't want to discourage miners from "actually mining" by having them
get sniped just for walking around and the added time-to-kill on these
guys could make clearing tendrils more tedious too.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Watchers have less health
balance: You can't be overwatched by several watchers at a time
balance: Watchers won't overwatch you instantly upon seeing you
balance: Goliaths won't launch tentacles at you instantly upon seeing
you

## About The Pull Request
Completely reworks how AI tracking is handled, this has no in-game
effects.
This moves nearly all AI tracking handling onto ``/datum/tracking``,
which previously was pretty bad. I tried documenting as much as I can,
making comments actually useful and give accurate information.
Turns ``get_camera_list`` into a global proc, which we now use for
camera consoles (including the app), cutting down on copy paste in 2
areas and standardizing its behavior/backend.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to generalize this behavior so I can use it for tracking
players in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/77713 - This
helps me do that.
Also the current state of AI tracking code is pretty poor and hopefully
this improves that area.

## About The Pull Request
This PR replaces clone damage dealt by slimes with a new status effect,
"Covered in Slime".
The status effect is applied when you wrestle a slime off. The status
effect has a chance of not applying if your biohazard protection on your
head and chest is good enough.
It deals brute damage over time and gets removed when you stand under
the shower for about 10 seconds or when you are about to enter softcrit.
As a direct consequence of adding this feature I added showers to the
North Star and Birdshot Xenobiology Labs. I'm sorry, I'm sure you wanted
to make a statement with this, but we kind of require them in there now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
One source of clone damage eliminated whilst hopefully keeping a
"unique" interaction when dealing with slimes. No other source of clone
damage has been touched.
Clone damage is a damage type that shouldn't exist anymore, it's a relic
left from the era of cloning and it's so specific of a damage type that
it rarely gets used as a result. It really should be a type of
affliction (wound etc) instead of its own damage counter.
However, some things in the game still depend on clone damage being
around, so those needs to be addressed first.
We start off with slimes in this PR.
This status effect either lets you either continue with your work if you
react fast enough or it forces you to medbay, giving a victim more
control over the situation, as opposed to just being dealt a rare damage
type that always forces you to go to medbay if you want it healed.
## Changelog

add: Replaced slime clone damage with a "Covered in Slime" status effect

## About The Pull Request
Instead of a supernatural phobia, sacrificed people will now get a
HERESY phobia, which specifically targets heretic stuff, instead of all
of magic. Other heretics, however, do not get this, but instead get
knowledge points sapped from them, as their mind is ruined in a
different way than normal people. This comes with different flavour text
and a harsher but shorter lasting mood debuff. Also fixes some
"knowlege" code typos and places the star gazer and fire shark all in
under heretic_summon
## Why It's Good For The Game
Heretics, Wizards, Chaplains and Cultists will now be able to keep
playing the game after getting sacrificed without overdosing on
psicodine, while still retaining the phobia's original design purpose.
placing the fire shark and star gazer under the same type also is useful
as they share a lot of values. typos bad.

I kept meaning to add this in my last PR and kept thinking "I'll add

Also I made the gaze ability stun the user for a short period after it
goes off because them shooting you instantly after they stop channeling

## About The Pull Request
I literally can't focus on anything nowadays, so I just did this to
break a never-ending chain of distress. Anyways, regal rats! These
fellas are mostly player controlled, but did have _some_ AI capabilities
(mainly tied to their actions), so that was incorporated too. Everything
should work as-expected (as well as look a shitload cleaner).
Instead of doing weird and awful conditional signals being sent out, I
made the `COMSIG_REGAL_RAT_INTERACT` (not the actual name) have a return
value so we can always rely on that working whenever we have that signal
registered on something we attack. I also cleaned up pretty much every
proc related to regal rats, gave them AIs to reflect their kingly nature
(and action capabilities (as well as move the action to
`mob_cooldown`)).
Since I thought they needed it, Regal Rats now get a special moniker!
This is stuff like "the Big Cheese" and what-not, like actual regents in
history. That's nice.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Two more off the list. Much better code to read. Way smarter rats with
spawning their army as part of a retaliatory assault (war). More sovl
with better regal rat names. The list goes on.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Regal Rats have been refactored into basic mobs. They should
be a bit smarter and retain their docility (until attacked, in which
case you should prepare to get rekt by summoned rats), and properly flee
when they can instead of just sit there as you beat them to death. The
framework for them interacting with stuff (i.e. opening doors while
slobbering on food) is a bit more unified too, now. They also have
cooler names too!
/🆑
FYI: Beyond a few code touchups, I haven't touched the actions at all. I
do not believe myself to be enthusiastic about fixing anything involving
the actions code as of this moment so that this PR is more overbloated
unless it's unbelievably stupid or easy to fix.
## About The Pull Request
Fixes#77709
I made a very smart and sensible and handsome change in a recent PR to
replace `mob/goliath/random` and `mob/watcher/random` subtypes with
spawner effects rather than mobs which qdel themselves on init sometimes
however I neglected to account for how the lavaland map generation was
reliant on those typepaths to space mobs apart
resultingly the map generator would attempt to place lavaland mobs about
12 spaces apart _unless_ they were goliaths or watchers which it would
spawn basically as much as it wanted wherever it wanted

Whatever you do, if it warrants the use of something like
`handle_atom_del`, chances are `Exited` can do it better, as most of
these cases involve movables that shouldn't be moved out of their loc
(`Destroy` forcefully moves movables to nullspace) without calling
specific procs, and for the remaining few, `handle_atom_del` doesn't
even cover the eventuality of a movable being deleted outside the source
atom, so it's quite garbage.
Beside, I feel confident in saying `handle_atom_del()` is older than the
DCS, an echo on the workarounds done at the time.
## About The Pull Request
Well, while the translation for lying/standing from #77619 is supposed
to work using the decimal place of whatever value the
`body_position_pixel_y_offset` variable should be while the mob is in
standing position (basically, `get_pixel_y_offset_standing()`), for a
fleeting moment idiocy took the better of me, and instead I just used
`body_position_pixel_y_offset` (which is of a different value when the
mob is lying down), resulting in resized mobs slooowly ascending (if
bigger) or descending (if smaller) each time they stood up.
Also taking a few seconds to add some `if` checks to avoid running these
operations for the wide majority of mobs, which have a default size of 1
anyway.

## About The Pull Request
Look at this menu:
Isn't this basically useless?
When you try to add a mob ability to a mob, it displays a huge list of
typepaths.
Literally none of the typepaths are short enough that they even fit in
the window, and the data about what the ability actually is usually lies
at the end of the typepath.
This is clearly silly.
I made it look like this instead:
Now you see the name _and_ the typepath (it's still useful information
in cases where there are several similar abilities).
Also I gave the lobster charge ability its own name because it didn't
have one.

## About The Pull Request
Adds the Settler quirk. This gives you bonuses to taming animals and
fishing, as well as making you gain hunger slower than others.
However, you are quite a bit slower than most people, and have trouble
with vaulting objects. You do, however, suffer significantly less from
equipment slowdown. (to the point that it is almost zero)
Settler riders are faster on their mounts than others if they're at
least sane. They start to slow down if they're less sane.
You are also shorter than most people.

<summary>Typical Settler encounters the typical Spacer</summary>

## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to add a lightweight quirk that was kind of the 'opposite' of
Spacer, but a little more focused on interacting with elements of the
game world that would enjoy some attention. So, I thought 'what about an
outdoorsman quirk?'
So, I based it around being from people who lived out on the rim, under
unideal circumstances (and probably heavier gravity than Earth), and
taming the land. The slower movespeed encourages finding an animal to
tame that you can ride, and the bonuses to taming should help make that
a bit easier. The other additions just made sense for someone living it
a bit rough in the wilderness.
Having a bunch of settlers taming cows and riding around on them all
shift just kind of sounds hilarious to me.

With this, any sort of overlays that get added look correct while in
your tiny mob form and you can still appreciate your large size without
giving up the ability to click on targets that would be hiding
underneath your sprite.
In total, this ability is granted to all the mobs who had tiny sprites:
- Xenomorph Queen
- Space Dragon
- Megafauna (not that players ever get access to these normally, but it
might be nice for admins)
Along with all this, I've also gone and expanded the mobs who get access
to the Seethrough ability to mobs that are large but didn't have a
mini-sprite. This includes:
- Jungle giants (leaper and mega arachnid)
- Tree mob
- Festivus pole mob
- Lavaland elites
- Xenomorph Praetorian
- Wumborian Fugu
On top of all this, any simple/basic mob given a fugu gland also
automatically gains this ability.
This solution also fixes all the overlays bugs that tiny mob sprites
introduced to the game, most notably the xenomorph queen overlays being
screwy when in small form and space dragon's overlays being completely
disabled for everyone if he was in small form.
The only issue with this currently is that clicking on any overlays from
your mob will let you still click on yourself, though this issue is
pretty negligible.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Tiny mob sprite abilities clashed very hard with our overlay system,
leading to a lot of buggy and unintended behavior. This replacement
works a lot more smoothly with overlays and also requires much less
setup to give it to a mob than tiny sprites did. I would also imagine it
helps keep the fantasy of being a big monster alive by letting you still
see yourself being a big monster without it getting in your way when
trying to attack things.
## Changelog
🆑
del: Removed tiny mob sprite abilities for large mobs
add: Add a Self Seethrough ability, given to most large mobs and all
mobs affected by a fugu gland
fix: Space Dragon's overlay will no longer vanish at times

## About The Pull Request
the mega arachnid is now a basic monster. he is a very tricky and
opportunistic creature he will plan his attacks carefully and only
attack the weak. he will first try to throw fleshy legcuffs at his
victims, if the victim becomes cuffed he will move in to attack him,
otherwise he will run away from him while trying to throw restraints at
his legs. while he is running away he will also release slippery acid to
slip his prey. also when he is looking for his prey, he will be
transparent for more stealth. after he finds his prey the transparency
will wear off. he is also a very stealthy creature, he will break any
lights and cameras near him and he can also climb trees to hide in them
while he is looking for a victim.

## About The Pull Request
I've recently come to learn recently that transform translation, unlike
pixel x/y/w/z, doesn't disregard values after the decimal separator, and
while that has little effect on atoms with identity
transform/interpolation matrices, can alter how the atom is rendered
slightly.
This way, there shouldn't be visible differences between an icon, scaled
by, let's say, 1.23, translated by 2.4 vertically, and a similar icon
scaled the same, offset by another 2pixels in the same direction yet
translated by the remainder 0.4.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Manily because I've a PR up on Skyrat to replace some of the code to
actually use the current size variable, tho some players have reported
it looks worse than before. Also, title.

## About The Pull Request
This one is a double feature because Watchers and Basilisks share the
same typepath. You might see a couple more of those.
As is tradition I decided to fuck with them rather than just port them.
Here's what's up.
**Basilisks**
- Have a new soulless sprite which looks less like a living blue hedge.
- Walk at you and shoot you while you are not in range (just like
before).
- Become supercharged if they become "heated" by lava, lasers, or
temperature weapons. This was a feature they also previously had but
they would never encounter lava, so now it also works if you use the
wrong gun on them.
- Lose their supercharge if you cool them down.
- Otherwise pretty normal mobs.
**Watchers**
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOq_Bf78k5A
Here's a traditional video of me intentionally getting hit by mechanics
(trust me its definitely on purpose)
- They glow emmissively a little bit so you can see them from further
away.
- Their eyes light up about 0.5 seconds before they are able to shoot at
you.
- No longer melee attack, instead try to stay out of melee.
- Will occasionally put you into "Overwatch", meaning they will shoot
you rapidly if you move or act while they're staring at you for a brief
time period (after which you become immune for 12 seconds, and during
which other watchers will play fair and stop shooting at you).
- If they start taking damage they will also start using their "Gaze"
attack, look away or suffer some kind of negative effect!
- - Normal watcher gaze flashes and confuses you.
- - Magmawing watcher gaze obviously burns (and briefly stuns) you.
- - Icewing watcher gaze freezes you and throws you backwards.
- Magnetically attract and eat diamonds. They also used to do this, but
just if they happened to coincidentally walk past some.
**Other accompanying changes**
All basic mobs will now adopt the "stop gliding" trait if they get
slowed down too much.
I moved behaviour for "fire a projectile from this atom" into a helper
proc because I was using it in three places and I will probably use it
in more places. There are probably other places in the existing code
which could be using this.
I think I made the basic mob melee attack forecast default a little more
forgiving, they were fucking me up too much and I am the playtester.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Another one off the list.
New tricks for old dogs.
Framework for making mobs with ranged attacks "fairer" (you can see when
they are ready to shoot you).
More (hopefully) versatile AI behaviours which we will reuse later (I
hope I'm not duplicating one someone already made).
If our players "enjoy" them enough we can give more mobs "don't look at
me" mechanics.
Removes some soul sprites.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Basilisks and Watchers now use the basic mob framework. Please
bug report any unusual behaviour.
sprite: Basilisks have new sprites.
add: Basilisks will go into a frenzy if heated by energy weapons or
temperature beams as well as by lava.
add: Watcher eyes will be illuminated briefly when they are ready to
fire at you.
add: Watchers can now briefly put you into "Overwatch" and penalise you
for moving while they can see you.
add: Wounded watchers will occasionally punish players who look at them.
balance: Unusual watcher variants are more likely to appear.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new value to toxins called liver_damage_multiplier. As
you might have guessed, this value modifies how much liver damage
processing the toxin will do, and it is default at 1. Spider toxins now
have this value set to 0, as having their toxins murdering livers isn't
an intentional part of their gameplay loop.
Tangle spiders also now inject half the amount of acid they used to. It
was actually really strong compared to the other toxin types and wasn't
intentional according to Seth.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Liver damage is very strong when it comes to spiders, but it isn't
considered at all in their balancing. Removing it makes the actual toxin
damage the threat and not the liver damage.
Tangle Spider isn't supposed to have high toxin damage, but because of
it injecting acid, it did more damage than the other spider types and
was requested to be have the injection amount reduced by Seth.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Hunter and viper spider toxins no longer deal liver damage.
balance: Tangle spider's acid injection per bite reduced from 5 to 2.5.

## About The Pull Request
There's two policies:
* Normal lazarus injector gives you the 'friendly revived mob' policy
since it normally makes mobs friendly to everyone,
* Default text: "The lazarus injector has brought you back to life! You
are now friendly to everyone."
* EMPed lazarus injector gives you the 'slaved revived mob' policy since
it normally makes mobs only friendly to you,
* Default text: "You have been revived by a malfunctioning lazarus
injector! You are now enslaved by whoever revived you."
* The EMPed lazarus injector now also enslaves the mob to the person who
revived them, giving them the text: "Serve [reviver], and assist
[reviver.p_them()] in completing [reviver.p_their()] goals at any cost."
Suggestions for default text welcome,
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's currently no policy for lazarus revived mobs, so can be
confusing. See https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=33&t=34538

## About The Pull Request
Adds a unique medibot to the Syndicate Infiltrator. It doesn't like
nukes - when one is armed, disarmed, or detonating, it says an unique
line. Players can optionally enable personalities on it if they want to.
Probably best to just let it stay on the shuttle though. (It's also in
the Interdyne Pharmaceuticals ship, renamed)
Fixed an issue that made mapload medibots unable to load custom skins.
This PR adds a medibot subtype to the simple animal freeze list, which I
don't think is a big deal as this isn't a 'true' simplemob but just a
slightly altered medibot, similarly to my 'lesser Gorillas' in the
summon simians PR.

I know what the inmediate reaction is here - but hear me out. Besides
the meme of the month, it really, genuinely is cute and amusing to have
a friendly medibot that shows dismay when you're arming the nuke and
horror when it blows up (with you, hopefully, at the syndibase), and
still fits quite well within SS13's charm and flavor. The reference
isn't overt and in-your-face.
Besides that, slip-ups, friendly fire, and accidents are semi-common on
the shuttle and, just like Wizards, nukies deserve a bot to patch their
wounds up.
> (It's also in the Interdyne Pharmaceuticals ship, renamed)
I think it makes sense for the pharmacists to have an evil medibot!

Fixed "bezerk" skin not appearing. Didn't fix it being ugly as sin

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a bunch of sanity checking to the `prefs.chat_toggles` var
accesses.
Prefs can be null when client is creating/deleting and this causes a
runtime where you might not be able to use emotes.
EDIT: as per suggestion I stopped masking the issue and added stack
traces instead. And made them into helper procs to avoid code
duplication.
For some of these procs it is important that we are able to continue
running to get to the end. **A ghost having null prefs should not stop
everyone else from hearing/seeing the emote.**
So now they will put the stack trace and keep on trucking if that issue
occurs. This is the main 'point' of the PR, which has seemingly gotten
bogged down in the creation of the two helper procs--apologies.
See https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/70404 for essentially
the same issue but applied to chat messages. I have gone back and
replaced the duplicated code from that to use the new helper procs
instead.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Anything chat related is a bad place to runtime. Some messages can take
a while to type out and to have it not display is frustrating at worst,
possibly detrimental if you have to communicate something urgently.

gruesome cannibals if they find a corpse of one of their kin near them
theyll go eat it for nurishment. AS for combat, they have a new ability
which allows them to release fire in all directions however theyll only
use this ability once their enraged meter is full. to make it fair ive
given them a new component which allows them to telegraph abilities and

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#77536
When you stop being shapeshifted we delete the mob you were previously
transformed into, which obviously also deletes everything in its
contents. If that mob can eat other mobs it deletes those mobs too.
We have an element "content barfer" which resolves this, I have made it
register to the "unshapeshift" signal to trigger dumping the contents
too, and added it to some mobs which were missing it.

## About The Pull Request
Atomised change from a different PR I am working on.
This changes the basic mob ranged attacks element into a component so
that it can also track an attack cooldown on the mob, preventing it from
firing until the cooldown is complete.
This was possible with simple mobs but wasn't kept going forwards when
converting things to basic ones.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ideally player and mob behaviour should be unified as much as is
realistically possible. Currently mobs which are designed to fire a
powerful weapon slowly can blast as rapidly as the click cooldown if
placed under control of a player, which is not ideal.
This isn't currently aligned for melee attacks either but I will look at
that later.
## Changelog

fix: Player-controlled basic mobs with ranged attacks can now only fire
about as fast as AI-controlled ones.

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
I've personally fallen for this stupid thing twice (in #77503 and #75627
(d3575161ca)), so I decided to spend a few
hours to crack out a unit test to ensure that I (and no one else) falls
for this stupid thing again.

couldn't figure out a better way to accomodate the current framework and
be as agnostic to certain oddities as possible.

## About The Pull Request
I was bored, so did this. Probably one of the neatest refactors I've
done, sorry if there's some oddities because I was experimenting with
some other stuff in this so just tell me to clean them up whenever I
can.
Anyways, morphs are basic mobs now. We are able to easily refactor the
whole "eat items and corpses" stuff in the basic mob framework, but the
whole "morph into objects and people" turned out to be a bit trickier.
That was easily rectified with a datum mob cooldown action and
copy-pasting the old code into that code, as well as doing some nice
stuff with traits and signals to ensure the one-way communication from
the action to the mob.
Old Morph AI didn't seem to be existant whatsoever, they inappropriately
leveraged some old procs and I have no idea how to make it work with new
AI. They DEFINITELY don't spawn outside of admin interference/ the event
anymore, and will always be controlled by a player, so this shouldn't be
too bad of an issue. I gave them something to seem alive just in case
though, but I think adding legitimate prop-hunt AI would be such a
laborious task that I am unwilling to do it in this PR.
## Why It's Good For The Game
If admins want to add the ability for Ian to assume the form of the HoP,
they can do that now! The datum action cooldown is quite nice for simple
and basic mobs... but it is currently not compatible with carbons. That
is not within scope for this PR, but I am dwelling on ways to extend it
to carbon but they all sound really awfully bad.
Also morphs are smarter, and we tick another simple animal in need of
refactoring off the list.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Morphs are now basic mobs with a nice new ability to help you
change forms rather than the old shift-click method, much more
intuitive.
admin: With the morph rework comes a new ability you can add to mobs,
"Assume Form". Feel free to add that to any simple or basic mob for le
funnies as Runtime turns into a pen or something.
/🆑
~~Does anyone know if there's a (sane) way to alias a cooldown action as
a keypress? I can't think of a good way to retain the old shift-click
functionality, because that does feel _kinda_ nice, but I think it can
be lived without.~~ I added it. Kinda fugly but whatever.
## About The Pull Request
I have created a basic eyeball monster with new abilities and behaviors.
The eyeball has a unique power that allows it to glare at humans and
make them slow for a short period. However, this ability only works if
the human can see the eyeball monster. If a person is blind or unable to
see the eyeball, the ability won't affect them. Also, if someone turns
their back to the eyeball, it cannot use the ability on them. But be
cautious because the eyeball will try to position itself in front of the
person's face to use its power.
The eyeball is hostile towards all humans except for the blind ones and
those with significant eye damage. It has a compassionate side too, as
it loves to help people with eye damage by providing small healing to
their eyes.
Furthermore, the eyeball has a fondness for eating carrots, which not
only satisfies its appetite but also grants it a small health boost. To
add to its appearance, I've given it a new, larger, and scarier sprite.
However, I am open to changing it back to the old sprite if the player
prefers it that way.
Additionally, the eyeball displays emotions, and if you hit it, it will
cry tears as a sign of pain or sadness.
## Why It's Good For The Game
