## 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.

## 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.

## About The Pull Request
Moves anti-magic effect off of the component and onto the mob. Fixes
some bugs while there.
Anti-magic effects will now only trigger on calls with a charge cost
associated.
If the user is under the effects of.. an antimagic effect, a new one
will not play. This cuts down on overlay and sound effect spam from
walking through forcewall or spacetime distortion, for example.

## About The Pull Request
This PR refactors mind language holders into non-existence
As a result, `update_atom_languages` is no longer necessary
Mind-bound languages are transferred via `/mind/proc/transfer_to`
Species changing no longer deletes and re-creates the mob's language
holder, allowing them to keep any languages they have.
Species languages are sourced from `LANGUAGE_SPECIES` now, meaning they
are removed when they change species. If the mob is not a human with a
species datum, these are effectively just atom level languages.
Makes a bunch of unit tests to ensure language transfer over certain
events works as intended
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mobs with minds having two independent language holders results in a
good few bugs, and simply doesn't make sense when we have sources
(`LANGUAGE_MIND`).
Instead of tracking two language holders, we can simply use sources
better and only track one.
This means that the language holder you start with is your language
holder, period. It doesn't get deleted or re-instantiated or whatever.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new craftable item to the game that, in a way, works
somewhat like ID cards, as in it gives the wearer an identity of some
sort, and that can be modified similardly to the agent ID, but...
It doesn't provide access.
It doesn't trick security bots and turrets.
It doesn't work with chameleon masks.
It doesn't have a bank account.
It doesn't fit inside wallets or PDAs.
It doesn't show a trim (it's just cosmetic) on the security HUD.
It doesn't look like an ID card.
(It does however, synergizes well with sign language and face-covering
mask, but in the face of all the things id doesn't do, should I change
that? idk)
Basically, it's not an ID, it's just a piece of cardboard with name and
job written on it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Often, player shenanigeans rely on ID cards with gimmicky names and jobs
to advertise themselves or provide a (feeble) disguise for it.
The idea is to provide players a cheap tool for their tomfoolery, that
doesn't get much in the way of balance. Compared to actual IDs,
cardboard IDs' only advantage is the fact they're more easily
produceable.
Also this PR converts a bit of snowflakey code into signals, and fixes
the name part in hallucination messages being shown "Unknown" while the
speaker is wearing a mask but also an ID.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added cardboard IDs to the game. They can be crafted with a
cardboard sheet and wirecutters and modified with a writing tool. While
worn, these will modify the visible name of the wearer just like actual
IDs, though they aren't real IDs and won't work as such.

Optional respawn delay is good, when you want players to comeback not
only as a midround event, but don't want them to not care about their

## About The Pull Request
I feel this is gonna be unpopular with the lazy mime players.
Also, this is an idea I had in my backlog for a while now
This removes the Mime's ability to write on paper while they're on their
vow of silence.
This can be compared to hand language, which doesn't let you speak
despite not being considered "talking", and PDA messaging, which does
the same.
Mimes can still write with their pen, which is a nice invisible white
color. I thought I would keep it in as I find that interaction funny to
have a Mime give someone just a blank paper, unknowing that there's text
on it.
Spraycans/Telekinesis/Circuits are also left unaffected because they
require actual effort to obtain (doing genetics, doing circuits, or
printing spraycans which take a lot of inventory space and is limited),
compared to paper which you can carry hundreds of papers around and is
bountiful across the station.
I thought this was attempted at least once, but I can't find any PR that
mentions it, so I'm shooting my shot to see if this is something we'd
want.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mimes using paper is a lazy way to bypass their one job gimmick: Emoting
over talking.
If they get a job change, they can simply break their vow to access
paper writing abilities, so this doesn't affect that really. It more-so
hits the Mimes who uses the job for the free spells/healing
abilities/etc, and bypasses the downsides (im aware its harder to get
people to read paper than it is to talk to them, but you can literally
get the mute quirk and itll have the same effect without being the whole
job).
The point is, you don't get invisible walls for free; it comes at a cost
of not being able to talk to people. If you want to talk, then break
your vow, lose access to your Mime abilities, and remake it later when
the cooldown is over. You're not meant to do both.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Mimes can no longer write on paper without breaking their vow.

Let's make em fit in the belt slot (again), but as a tradeoff we'll make

I'm also doing some general code cleanup here. Making procs more
readable, vars more direct, removing some old legacy stuff.
I've added a remove_single proc to hook into via subtype, which takes a
mob as input. this has required placing extra requirement on some helper
procs, but fortunately it's not something they're unable to meet.
My hope is this will make garbage bags usable without being stupid.

## About The Pull Request
Relies on #72886 for some render relay expansion I use for light_mask
stuff.
Hello bestie! Night vision pissed me off, so I've come to burn this
place to the ground.
Two sections to discuss here. First we'll talk about see_in_dark and why
I hate it, second we'll discuss the lighting plane and how we brighten
it, plus introducing color to the party.
### `see_in_dark` and why it kinda sucks
https://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/mob/var/see_in_dark
See in dark lets us control how far away from us a turf can be before we
hide it/its contents if it's dark (not got luminosity set)
We currently set it semi inconsistently to provide nightvision to mobs.
The trouble is stuff that produces light != stuff that sets luminosity.
The worst case of this can be seen by walking out of escape on icebox,
where you'll see this
Snow draws above the lighting plane, so the snow will intermittently
draw, depending on see_in_dark and the luminosity from tracking lights.
This would in theory be solvable by modifying the area, but the same
problem applies across many things in the codebase.
As things currently stand, to be emissive you NEED to have a light on
your tile. People are bad at this, and honestly it's a bit much to
expect of them. An emissive overlay on a canister shouldn't need an
element or something and a list on turfs to manage it.
This gets worse when you factor in the patterns I'm using to avoid
drawing lights above nothing, which leads to lights that should show,
but are misoffset because their parent pixel offsets.
It's silly. We do it so we can have things like mesons without just
handing out night vision, but even there the effect of just hiding
objects and mobs looks baddddddd when moving. It's always bothered me.
I'll complain about mesons more later, but really just like, they're too
bright as it is.
I'm proposing here that rather then manually hiding stuff based off
distance from the player, we can instead show/hide using just the
lighting plane. This means things like mesons are gonna get dimmer, but
that's fine because they suck.
It does have some side effects, things like view() on mobs won't hide
stuff in darkness, but that's fine because none actually thinks about
view like that, I think.
Oh and I added a case to prevent examining stuff that's in darkness, and
not right next to you when you don't have enough nightvision, to match
the old behavior `see_in_dark` gave us.
Now I'd like to go on a mild tangent about color, please bare with me
### Color and why `lighting_alpha` REALLY sucks
You ever walk around with mesons on when there's a fire going, or an
ethereal or firelocks down.
You notice how there isn't really much color to our lights? Doesn't that
suck?
It's because the way we go about brighting lighting is by making
everything on the lighting plane transparent.
This is fine for brightening things, but it ends up looking kinda crummy
in the end and leads to really washed out colors that should be bright.
Playing engineer or miner gets fucking depressing.
The central idea of this pr, that everything else falls out of, is
instead of making the plane more transparent, we can use color matrixes
to make things AT LEAST x bright.
https://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/{notes}/color-matrix
Brief recap for color matrixes, fully expanded they're a set of 20
different values in a list
Units generally scale 0-1 as multipliers, though since it's
multiplication in order to make an rgb(1,1,1) pixel fullbright you would
need to use 255s.
A "unit matrix" for color looks like this:
```
list(1, 0, 0, 0,
0, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1,
0, 0, 0, 0
)
```
The first four rows are how much each r, g, b and a impact r, g, b and
well a.
So a first row of `(1, 0, 0, 0)` means 1 unit of r results in 1 unit of
r. and 0 units of green, blue and alpha, and so on.
A first row of `(0, 1, 0, 0)` would make 1 red component into 1 green
component, and leave red, blue and alpha alone, shifting any red of
whatever it's applied to a green.
Using these we can essentially color transform our world. It's a fun
tool. But there's more.
That last row there doesn't take a variable input like the others.
Instead, it ADDS some fraction of 255 to red, green, blue and alpha.
So a fifth row of `(1, 0, 0, 0)` would make every pixel as red as it
could possibly be.
This is what we're going to exploit here. You see all these values
accept negative multipliers, so we can lower colors down instead of
raising them up!
The key idea is using color matrix filters
https://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/{notes}/filters/color to chain these
operations together.
Pulling alllll the way back, we want to brighten darkness without
affecting brighter colors.
Lower rgb values are darker, higher ones are brighter. This relationship
isn't really linear because of suffering reasons, but it's good enough
for this.
Let's try chaining some matrixes on the lighting plane, which is bright
where fullbright, and dark where dark.
Take a list like this
```
list(1, 0, 0, 0,
0, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1,
-0.2, -0.2, -0.2, 0
)
```
That would darken the lighting a bit, but negative values will get
rounded to 0
A subsequent raising by the same amount
```
list(1, 0, 0, 0,
0, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1,
0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0
)
```
Will essentially threshold our brightness at that value.
This ensures we aren't washing out colors when we make things brighter,
while leaving higher values unaffected since they basically just had a
constant subtracted and then readded.
### But wait, there's more
You may have noticed, we gain access to individual color components
here.
This means not only can we darken and lighten by thresholds, we can
COLOR those thresholds.
```
list(1, 0, 0, 0,
0, 1, 0, 0,
0, 0, 1, 0,
0, 0, 0, 1,
0.1, 0.2, 0.1, 0
)
```
Something like the above, if applied with its inverse, would tint the
darkness green.
The delta between the different scalars will determine how vivid the
color is, and the actual value will impact the brightness.
Something that's always bothered me about nightvision is it's just
greyscale for the most part, there isn't any color to it.
There was an old idea of coloring the game plane to match their lenses,
but if you've ever played with the colorblind quirk you know that gets
headachey really fast.
So instead of that, lets color just the darkness that these glasses
produce.
It provides some reminder that you're wearing them, instead of just
being something you forget about while playing, and provides a reason to
use flashlights and such since they can give you a clearer, less tinted
view of things while retaining the ability to look around things.
I've so far applied this pattern to JUST headwear for humans (also those
mining wisps)
I'm planning on furthering it to mobs that use nightvision, but I wanted
to get this up cause I don't wanna pr it the day before the freeze.
Mesons are green, sec night vision is red, thermals orange, etc.
I think the effect this gives is really really nice.
I've tuned most things to work for the station, though mesons works for
lavaland for obvious reasons.
I've tuned things significantly darker then we have them set currently,
since I really hate flat lighting and this system suffers when
interacting with it.
My goal with these is to give you a rough idea of what's around you,
without a good eye for detail.
That's the difference between say, mesons, and night vision. One helps
you see outlines, the other gives you detail and prevents missing
someone in the darkness.
It's hard to balance this precisely because of different colored
backgrounds (looking at you icebox)
More can be done on this front in future but I'm quite happy with things
as of now
### **EDIT**
I have since expanded to all uses of nightvision, coloring most all of
them.
Along the way I turned some toggleable nightvision into just one level.
Fullbright sucks, and I'd rather just have one "good" value.
I've kept it for a few cases, mostly eyes you rip out of mobs.
Impacted mobs are nightmares, aliens, zombies, revenants, states and
sort of stands.
I've done a pass on all mobs and items that impact nightvision and added
what I thought was the right level of color to them. This includes stuff
like blobs and shuttle control consoles
As with glasses much of this was around reducing vision, though I kept
it stronger here, since many of these mobs rely on it for engaging with
the game
<details>
<summary>
Technical Changes
</summary>
#### Adds filter proc (the ones that act like templates) support to
filter transitions.
Found this when testing this pr, seemed silly.
#### Makes our emissive mask mask all light instead
This avoids dumbass overlay lighting lighting up wallmounts.
We switch modes if some turfflags are set, to accomplish the same thing
with more overhead, and support showing things through the darkness.
Also fixes a bug where you'd only get one fullscreen object per mob, so
opening and closing a submap would take it away
Also also fixes the lighting backdrop not actually spanning the screen.
It doesn't actually do anything anymore because of the fullscreen light
we have, but just in case that's unsued.
Needs cleanup in future.
#### Moves openspace to its own plane that doesn't draw, maxing its
color with a sprite
This is to support the above
We relay this plane to lighting mask so openspace can like, have
lighting
#### Changes our definition of nightvision to the light cutoff of night
vision goggles and such
Side affect of removing see_in_dark. This logic is a bit weak atm, needs
some work.
#### Removes the nightvision spell
It's a dupe of the nightvision action button, and newly redundant since
I've removed all uses of it
#### Cleans up existing plane master critical defines, ensures
trasnparent won't render
These sucked
Also transparent stuff should never render, if it does you'll get white
blobs which suck

add: The darkness that glasses and hud goggles that impact your
nightvision (think mesons, nightvision goggles, etc) lighten is now
tinted to match the glasses. S pretty IMO, and hopefully it helps with
forgetting you're wearing X.
balance: Nightvision is darker. I think bright looks bad, and things
like mesons do way too much
balance: Mesons (and mobs in general) no longer have a static distance
you can see stuff in the dark. If a tile is lit, you can now see it.
fix: Nightvision no longer dims colored lights, instead simply
thresholding off bits of darkness that are dimmer then some level.

This builds on what #69790 did and improved the code even further.
Notable things:
- `Topic()` is a deprecated proc in our codebase (replaced with
Javascript tgui) so it makes sense to rename `canUseTopic` to
`can_perform_action` which is more straightforward in what it does.
- Positional and named arguments have been converted into a easier to
use `action_bitflag`
- The bitflags adds some new checks you can use like: `NEED_GRAVITY |
NEED_LITERACY | NEED_LIGHT` when you want to perform an action.
- Redundant, duplicate, or dead code has been removed.
- Fixes several runtimes where `canUseTopic` was being called without a
proper target (IV drips, gibber, food processor)
- Better documentation for the proc and bitflags with examples
## About The Pull Request
One thing that repeatedly pops up in admin channels is investigating
causes of death when a player just vanishes from the game. These are
almost universally qdeletion issues.
9 years ago `/mob/Destroy()` was commented with:
`//This makes sure that mobs with clients/keys are not just deleted from
the game.`
Whatever code may have existed back then has long since been replaced.
**I consider that Destroy()ing a cliented or ckeyed mob is a runtime
error case.**
Code which may result in deleting a mob should handle removing and/or
reassigning any client or ckey - or call generic procs that do so -
prior to destruction. This should ideally result in a clear log trail
that allows admins to see what happened. Where this isn't the case, a
stack trace will now be available to help narrow down the cause of
qdeletion so an issue report can be made, and so admins have SOME info
to investigate on.
An example of where this would help catch bugs is #72782 - It was
clearly unintended behaviour to qdel the mob in the first place and this
stack trace would have immediately highlighted exactly where the death
came from.

An example of where this would help identify causes of death where
previously there were none - Scenarios that were fixed by #62949 and
#66104 caused administrative headaches figuring out causes of death when
players in exploding crates just got literally fucking qdeleted. Which
was pretty trivial for players to do to other players.

Over time these stack traces can be checked for how well the true cause
of death is logged, and whether there is a better procedure for deleting
cliented/ckeyed mobs than just qdel(target).
## Why It's Good For The Game
qdeletion of cliented or ckeyed mobs is death and often lacks any
specific logging.
This obfuscates bugs and hinders admin investigation.
stack_tracing highlights where this happens, revealing the previously
obfuscated bugs more clearly. It also provides relevant information on a
cause of death that can allow admin investigation to take place despite
the absence of logging.
## Changelog
🆑
admin: When a player-owned mob is deleted from the game world, a stack
trace is now dropped in the runtime logs. This allows admins and coders
to investigate these issues easier.

## About The Pull Request
- Nearsighted is now a grouped status effect.
- Blindness is now a grouped status effect.
- Eye handling of blindness has improved.
- When eyes are removed, they now cause you to become blind, rather than
handling it in `update_tint`.
- Being ahealed no longer blinds you for one tick, meaning that black
overlay on aheal is gone.
- Temporary Blindness is now a status effect.
- Both Nearsightedness and Blindness have been exorcised from mob vars
and life chains. This means that we've finally cut 2 procs from life,
`handle_status_effect` and `handle_traits`, and moved both to event
based processing. Wooo optimizations.
- Swapped pacifism status effect to use apply and set helpers.
- Removed an unused admin toggle that disabled welding helmet tint but
also tint from every clothing item and also blindness from losing your
eyes.
- Clothes now generally all blind their mob more consistently.
- Oculine, eye surgery, and sensory restoration are now no longer the
only way to fix blindness from eye damage. If your eyes are healed
through any other means, it will also heal your blindness.
- Some things that made you blind, such as ling blind sting, no longer
just flat made you blind from eye damage forever. They now cause eye
damage directly, which in turn makes you blind from eye damage, as
expected.
- Pacifists can't eyestab anymore. Eyestabs now have a limit on the
amount of blur applied.
- Refactored some `is_x_covered` procs to accept flags rather than have
a lot of arguments for some silly reason.
- Unit tests for blindness.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Blindness was exceptionally poorly handled prior, primarily due to the
fact that it was tied to the mob instead of separated out
On top of that the system put a LOT of faith in proper handling of
blindness on the coder's end which was misplaced evidently. Many places
didn't update or handle blindness correctly, or just let people
perma-blind.
Deferring it to a status effect improves this a lot
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Refactored blindness and nearsightedness. Important to note is
that all mobs are naturally blind until their eyes are actually created.
refactor: Refactored "is covered" procs
fix: Less sources of blindness now cause permanent blindness. Includes
the "Blind" Spell and "Blind Sting" from changelings.
admin: Ahealing someone no longer flashes the blind overlay for 1 tick.
admin: I removed an unused (sort of) inaccessible admin verb that
allowed you to toggle the tint from all welding helmets (and clothing)
(and lack of eyes) in existence, let me know if you want similar back
balance: Changeling "Blind Sting" now causes eye damage (enough to
blind) rather than arbitrarily forcing blindness.
balance: Visionloss virus symptom now causes eye damage (enough to
blind) rather than arbitrarily forcing blindness.
balance: Oculine has been reworked slightly. Prior, Oculine arbitrarily
healed blindness and nearsightedness from eye damage reagrdless of how
damaged the eyes were, and applied blur on success. Now, Oculine just
heals eye damage, and blindness / nearsightedness is restored in the
process. There is now a probability every tick that eye blur is applied
based on how pure the oculine is while healing very damaged eyes.
balance: Pacifists can no longer eyestab.
balance: Any clothing item that covers your eyes contributes to getting
the bonus while sleeping, and to removing temporary blindness faster

Adds a system for tutorials that:
- Are contextually given
- Are not given again after completion
- Can optionally not trigger for anyone who first played before a
certain date
Uses this system for a tutorial for switching hands/dropping items. This
tutorial is triggered when you try to click on an item with another
item, and `afterattack` return FALSE. In order for this to work as
smoothly as possible, I'm going to open a separate PR that cleans up the
`afterattack` on everything to either return TRUE/FALSE.
## Why It's Good For The Game
SS13 is an extremely confusing game, being able to do tutorials in a
non-intrusive way (like a separate tutorial mode) is nice.
The system in place is going to be perfectly usable for introducing
mechanics to both fresh players and experienced players alike (such as
for future content).

## About The Pull Request
**Comes with an UpdatePaths!**
Removes the tablet subtype, PDAs now replaces them entirely.
Nukie and Silicon tablets are now subtypes of the PDA instead, while
contractor ones were removed entirely as they didn't do anything and
were unused (though it wouldn't be hard to re-add).
Nukie PDAs are now the only type of PDA that uses modular_tablets.dmi,
which is just larger icons of modular_pda. Each application requires an
icon state in both of these, for 2 different sizes, which makes it
annoying to make new applications, especially if it can also run on
computers/laptops.
### Icons
Because Silicon tablets are now a subtype of PDA, they use PDA icons
instead of tablet ones. Luckily for us, they already exist in code.
AI's don't use a tablet icon though, so they aren't affected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's very little difference between tablets and PDAs, PDAs overshadow
them in every single way, so at this point I don't see why we should
have both of these, and if you compare the two in usefulness and actual
in-game use by players, it's a no-brainer than the item all players get
roundstart and comes with a messenger should be the one we go with.
Also as said in the about section, when making an app you would need to
make icon states for the program running for all hardware it can run on,
which is Computer, Laptop, PDA, and Tablet.
Laptop is just a smaller computer icon
PDA is just a smaller tablet icon
However, you can't simply shrink the size of the icon, instead you have
to completely resprite the same app icon FOUR TIMES for it to not
bluescreen on all these different devices.

If we wish to help in simplifying this, we should remove tablet icons
entirely, which means 1 less icon to worry about. To do this, we'd need
to resprite nukie PDAs, however I am very much not a spriter and never
tried GAGS, so I'll leave it to someone else to do.

## About The Pull Request
It's kinda hacky, but it is nearly the same as just rendering one z
layer.
We allow people to ENTIRELY REMOVE most plane masters from their screen.
This has the side effect of disabling most visual effects (AO is a big
one) which saves a LOT of gpu.
We rely on planes being essentially layers to ensure things render in
the proper order. (outside of some hackyness required to make parallax
work)
I've kept parallax and lighting enabled, so visuals will still look
better then multiz pre plane cube.
It does also mean that things like FOV don't work, but honestly they
didn't work PRE plane cube, and FOV's implementation makes me mad so I
have a hard time caring.
Reduces gpu usage on my machine on tram from 47% to 32%, just above the
27% I get on meta.
I'm happy with this.
Oh also turns out the parallaxing had almost no cost. Need to remove it
as a side effect of what I'm doing but if I could keep it I would.
There's still room for in between performance options, like disabling
things like AO on lower z layers, but I didn't expect it to make a huge
impact, so I left things as is
Also fixes a bug with paper bins not respecting z layer. It came up in
testing and annoyed me

So i left over some basic `/whatever/proc/format` uses in the original
PR this fixes it.
Notable exceptions to the rule:
- Paths in add_verb/remove_verb, we need full path instead of a name
there to access verb metadata so we can't use proc ref macros there.
- regex.Replace, found out that it does not accept call by name. Instead
i added new REGEX_REPLACE_HANDLER so we can at least try to mark these.
There's still leftover global procs that do not use GLOBAL_PROC_REF but
they functionally equivalent so that's for later.
I don't see any reasonable way to grep for this. But if you got any
ideas please share.
Makes the code compatible with 515.1594+
Few simple changes and one very painful one.
Let's start with the easy:
* puts call behind `LIBCALL` define, so call_ext is properly used in 515
* Adds `NAMEOF_STATIC(_,X)` macro for nameof in static definitions since
src is now invalid there.
* Fixes tgui and devserver. From 515 onward the tmp3333{procid} cache
directory is not appened to base path in browser controls so we don't
check for it in base js and put the dev server dummy window file in
actual directory not the byond root.
* Renames the few things that had /final/ in typepath to ultimate since
final is a new keyword
And the very painful change:
`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with
new nameof() function. All this wrapped in three new macros.
`PROC_REF(X)`,`TYPE_PROC_REF(TYPE,X)`,`GLOBAL_PROC_REF(X)`. Global is
not actually necessary but if we get nameof that does not allow globals
it would be nice validation.
This is pretty unwieldy but there's no real alternative.
If you notice anything weird in the commits let me know because majority
was done with regex replace.
@tgstation/commit-access Since the .proc/stuff is pretty big change.

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

refactor: Refactored... well a lot really. Map views, anything to do with planes, multiz, a shit ton of rendering stuff. Basically if you see anything off visually report it
admin: VV a mob, and hit View/Edit Planes in the dropdown to steal their view, and modify it as you like. You can do the same to yourself using the Edit/Debug Planes verb

* Demoralization fixes
Blind mobs will no longer be demoralized by posters and graffiti.
Illiterate mobs will no longer be demoralized by the words on posters.
Mobs will no longer be demoralized by posters & graffiti if it's too dark to see them.
Also makes can_read use reading check flags, one for literacy and one for light.
* Removes persistence of species-restricted items through changing
Makes use of item's mob_can_equip instead of mob's can_equip, making it take the item's restrictions into account.
Also, fixes the inventory's color, so it's properly red when you can't equip such an item, by making it also use mob_can_equip.
Finally, expands the species clothing unit test to take that into account, to prevent it breaking in the future.
* Optimizes away /obj/Initialize
We were spending like 0.15 seconds just checking for blueprints, obj
flags and network ids
All these things can just be applied where they're wanted, saves time
Oh and I replaced object flags with an emag injector. I'll give it a
sprite and name later I promise
* Requires a GenerateTag() call to set DF_USE_TAG, rather then doing a check in atom New
This is technically harder to use, but I don't really want people using
tags, and it saves 0.15 seconds
* Moves generatetag to /datum
* I am dumb
* Saves 0.5 seconds, makes init emissive blockers actually work
Ok so background. If an overlay is added with add_overlay, and not
"managed" somehow, it will effectively never be removed, because
nothing's tracking it.
Update_overlays uses the managed_overlays list/var (one of those) to do
this.
I'm gonna piggyback off this to make emissive overlays actually like,
respect overlay updates.
Oh and uh, I've saved maybe 0.5 seconds by caching the new emissive, and
not using add_overlay. There's a chance this will lead to overlay
corruption, but since we never readd the flattened, I think we'll be
safe
* Fixes plane not being set right, changes color logic too, since alpha will override past color sets
* Makes it actually work. also makes rand posters update appearance to clear away the overlay, since it shows on right click and looks bad
* Fixes blockers showing as emissives. It turns out alpha sets override the color list we use. Not sure why we pretend to support them
* Makes the injector support traits, adds an amazing sprite
About The Pull Request
replaces a ton of log_game with user.log_message so the log is added to individual and global logs.
adds a few logs for individual LOG_VICTIM, LOG_ATTACK etc logging.
adds logging for bluespace launchpad's tele coords being changed.
took the word "has" out of log_combat, as it's extra and just lengthens the log.
Why It's Good For The Admins
It's extremely laggy to open game.txt so an alternative is individual game logs
Changelog
cl
admin: A lot of game logs will now also be in individual game logs, for convenience in log diving.
admin: Added logging for bluespace launchpad x and y offset changes, which go to individual game logs.
admin: Attack logs will now be slightly shorter, one useless word was removed.
/cl
This pr goes through: /client/Click(), /client/Topic(), /mob/living/verb/resist(), /mob/verb/quick_equip(), /mob/verb/examinate(), and /mob/verb/mode() and makes them queue their functionality to a subsystem to execute in the next tick if the server is overloaded. To do this a new subsystem is made to handle most verbs called SSverb_manager, if the server is overloaded the verb queues itself in the subsystem and returns, then near the start of the next tick that verb is resumed with the provided callback. The verbs are called directly after SSinput, and the subsystem does not yield until its queue is completely finished.
The exception are clicks from player input since they are extremely important for the feeling of responsiveness. I considered not queuing them but theyre too expensive not to, suffering from a death of a thousand cuts performance wise from many many things in the process adding up. Instead clicks are executed at the very start of the next tick, as the first action that SSinput completes, before player movement is processed even.
A few months ago, before I died I was trying to figure out why games at midpop (40-50 people) had non zero and consistent time dilation without maptick being consistently above 28% (which is when the MC stops yielding for maptick if its overloaded). I found it out, started working on this pr, then promptly died. luckily im a bit less dead now
the current MC has a problem: the cost of verbs is completely and totally invisible to it, it cannot account for them. Why is this bad? because verbs are the last thing to execute in the tick, after the MC and SendMaps have finished executing.
tick diagram2
If the MC is overloaded and uses 100% of the time it allots itself this means that if SendMaps uses the amount its expected to take, verbs have at most 2% of the tick to execute in before they are overtiming and thus delaying the start of the next tick. This is bad, and im 99% sure this is the majority of our overtime.
Take Click() for example. Click isnt listed as a verb but since its called as a result of client commands its executed at the end of the tick like other verbs. in this random 80 pop sybil round profile i had saved on my computer sybil 80 pop (2).txt /client/Click() has an overtime of only 1.8 seconds, which isnt that bad. however it has a self cpu of 2.5 seconds meaning 1.8/2.5 = 72% of its time is overtiming, and it also is calling 80.2 seconds worth of total cpu, which means that more than 57.7 seconds of overtime is attributed to just /client/Click() executing at the very end of a tick. the reason why this isnt obvious is just because the verbs themselves typically dont have high enough self cpu to get high enough on the rankings of overtiming procs to be noticed, all of their overtime is distributed among a ton of procs they call in the chain.
Since i cant guarantee the MC resumes at the very start of the next tick due to other sleeping procs almost always resuming first: I time the duration between clicks being queued up for the next tick and when theyre actually executed. if it exceeds 20 milliseconds of added latency (less than one tenth the average human reaction time) clicks will execute immediately instead of queuing, this should make instances where a player can notice the added latency a vanishingly small minority of cases. still, this should be tm'd
Why It's Good For The Game
Further reducing reliance on reading the chat box. Previously it wasn't obvious someone pointing at themselves was pointing at something on them, and not just, them.
