Third /icon/ cleansing splinter 1. Comments on commits say all it does
pretty much.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Inhand for walkietalkie was requested in the project, gets rid of some
usecases of old 'gangtool', headset splitoff requested by Fazzie.
Inhands reflecting the items they are supposed to represent is nice.

## About The Pull Request
Reopened#78997
Larger patch for bitrunning that addresses a few issues.
- Two new antagonists: cyber tac and netguardian
- Quantum server emag opportunity
- Modular mob packs: Like random spawners, but for groups
- Antag spawning fixed: vdom antags now have up to a 10% chance to spawn
based on domains loaded
- Virtual domains are no longer all fullbright by default, only the
outdoorsy ones
- Actually deletes legion map file, since it was removed in #79424

The netguardian prime
The glitch effect - this mob is being mutated
Cyber tac (t2 antagonist)
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Bitrunning antagonists are so incredibly rare that it's underwhelming
to play as one for the solid second they offer if you even get the role
- Bitrunners had basically no traitor route to follow, they became
assistants with black outfits
Fixes#79465
<details>
<summary>More info</summary>
Bitrunners don't have any type of traitor options. If they're made into
traitors, there's nothing bitrunner related they can do, and their
access is particularly bad so it's like they're a worse assistant. I've
coupled this with the bitrunning antagonist system, which is now
fixed.\. Bitrunners can now attempt to coax these entities to come onto
the station, however they are not given any form of allegiance for doing
so (and are quite counterable).
Previously, vdom antagonists relied on so many factors to spawn that it
basically wouldn't happen. Now, it runs on the server each time there is
a map loaded, with increasing probability as the round progresses. This
builds up the list of spawnable antagonists, of which two are new,
including an entirely new giant mech megafauna. This is the first
"megafauna-esque" basic mob in the game. Its AI is bad, it's really only
meant to be player controlled, but this does mean an admin can spawn
them. Being mech, they are very counterable with ion rifles and the
like.
Several refactors, rewrites, and overall bug fixes are included in this
PR.
Lastly, I added a framework for making bitrunner maps more random, the
modular mob spawning system, which works in conjunction with random
crate locations.

## Changelog
jlsnow301, infraredbaron
🆑
add: Bitrunning Patch 1 features a host of changes!
add: Added randomized mobs to virtual domains, which will be indicated
with a unique icon.
add: New emag interaction with the quantum server. Antags will spawn
more frequently, and they can hack themselves onto the station. You have
been warned.
add: Both living and dead players can now see which mob is going to
spawn an antagonist in the vdom.
add: Two new vdom antagonists: Cyber Tac and the NetGuardian. These
unlock at specific thresholds.
balance: You can no longer stack copies of the same ability with
bitrunning disks.
balance: Some of the disk items have been replaced with stronger
versions.
fix: You can no longer spy on crew using the advanced camera console on
syndicate assault.
fix: Fixed the spawning mechanism of virtual domain antagonists. You
should now have a chance of playing as one. This chance increases as
more domains are completed.
fix: Vdom antagonists shouldn't spawn at the end of the run any longer.
fix: The preference for vdom antagonists has been changed to factor in
the new types. Check your preferences!
fix: The quantum server will now show its balloon alerts to all
observers.
fix: Random domains should be fully random again.

## About The Pull Request
Adds two variables to bitrunner domains, one for making them not spawn
disk items, and one for making them not grant disk abilities to
bitrunner characters on loading into the domain.
Not presently used in any domains, but will be a mystery tool that will
help us later.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I've thought of a few pretty good domains but the ideas behind them fall
apart a bit of joey bitrunner can bring a desword and fireball into
them.

## About The Pull Request
_Really? Bitrunning maps are so simple you could do them with your eyes
closed? Hmmmmm..._
This adds two new medium-difficulty virtual domains to the pool -- Crate
Chaos and Infected Domain.
These two domains take you to neglected corners of the virtual world.
These are unstable, bizarre locales that do not support the bitrunning
machine's visual display, and must be traversed using echolocation.
**_These domains have been designed around you being a psyker, and will
turn your bitrunner avatar into a psyker until they leave the domain._**
_**Crate Chaos:** Low cost, medium reward._
Sneak into an abandoned virtual domain, where they store all of the loot
crates. There's about 40-ish crates in this space, and one of them
(RANDOM) is the encrypted cache we're looking for. The crates must be
manually inspected, requiring you to drop your weapon for a few moments,
but that shouldn't be a problem. There's no hostiles, just a bunch of
crates... right?
This one has very few shenanigans or threats in it. It's meant to be an
introductory experience to interfacing with things as a psyker, and
getting the rhythm down for moving between visual pulses.
_**Infected Domain:** Medium cost, high reward._
Enter another abandoned virtual domain. This one was sealed off from the
digital world after the cyber-police failed to contain a virus that
zombified its inhabitants, leaving it to grow unstable and full of
holes. Fortunately, you're provided with the single best tool for arming
yourself against zombies in any video game, ever -- Your very own
Mystery Box. Get armed with (basically) whatever gun you want, and go
put those wacky psyker abilities to use against those zombies.
This one is a lot meaner. Many chasms, landmines, and zombies. Walk
slowly, stay with your fellow bitrunners, and if it's too hard, there's
no shame in going back and rolling for a better gun!
The domains themselves are VERY simple, since there's little need for
decor or particularly complex layouts. The idea is that you should be
able to see everything you need to see in a given room/area with a
single vision pulse. Here's what one of the maps looks like:
Err, uh, I mean... This is what the maps look like:
<details>
<summary>SPOILERS BEWARE</summary>
<br>
(You wanna find out if there's something cool under those red lines? Go
there yourself!)
</details>
These two psyker maps come with their own psyker safehouse too -- The
Bathroom. It's gross, the medical supplies are kind of just sitting
there on the floor... It looks a little bit better when you're blind, I
guess.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I like psykers a lot more than I'm willing to admit. Unfortunately, the
jankiness of echolocation provides such a disadvantage at times, that
any "real" conflict is usually over before the psyker is even aware
they're taking damage.
Fortunately, the controlled environments that bitrunning maps are
perfect for psykers. They give the opportunity to craft an experience
around the player being blind, rather than forcing them to play blind
through a seeing mans world.
These two domains should present players with a unique challenge that is
designed around playing as a psyker, with slightly higher-than-usual
rewards for their trouble. More importantly -- They're fun!
## Changelog
🆑 Rhials
add: Two new psyker-oriented virtual domains -- Crate Chaos and Infected
Domain.
add: Map helper for cyber-police corpse spawn.
add: Map helper for swapping the encrypted crate in an area with a
random crate from that same area.

## About The Pull Request
The next round of small changes to how bitrunning works - mostly from
feedback, bug reports etc.
- The loot crate delivery spot is now a buildable machine (the
byteforge), making it replaceable in the event of a disaster
- Same for netpods and quantum consoles. These boards are now
researchable and buildable.
- New icons for the byteforge and the health monitor
- Some bug fixes around despawning avatars
- Reimplements one of the bitrunning unit tests

## Changelog
🆑
fix: Added extra checks to bitrunning domain cleanup so avatars are
deleted properly.
add: Quantum servers now look for a new machine called a byteforge to
spawn loot on- no longer on an invisible landmark. This should make the
rooms rebuildable after disasters.
add: *Most* bitrunning machinery is now researchable and buildable via
circuits in the engineering protolathe.
