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`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with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.

## About The Pull Request
You can no longer craft explosive lances.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Explosive lances are unhealthy for the game in it's current iteration.
Many years ago when the game was more loose and we weren't dealing with
players who treat the game like competitive TTT or Town of Salem,
They are a one shot kill weapon, which is the most powerful kind of
weapon in every gamemode. @JohnFulpWillard likened it to 1f1, a concept
from Town of Salem players where the town trades 1 person for 1 bad guy.
Modern ss13 design includes a significantly heavier load of antagonists
that aren't fixed roundstart compared to when the e-lance went in.
When we added the e-lance, if nuke ops spawned, that was it, there was
nuke ops, if you e-lanced the nuke ops and died you were dead until the
next round.
Nowadays you're rolling for lone operative, blob, wizard, disease,
revenant, and every other fun enjoyable antagonist role under the sun.
I can e-lance a nuke op/cultist/traitor/revolutionary/any bad guy in the
game as a non-antag assistant, die, and have a good chance to roll
another, way more fun antag in deadchat.
My change to make the e-lance a proper "we both die" tool didn't
actually help because I didn't quite realize that to the modern SS13
player because of how we designed Dynamic and antagonists in the modern
era, death is, frankly, not a punishment anymore.
It's time we admit the facts, items designed in 2015 SS13 in #12389
simply don't hold up in a healthy manner in 2022 SS13. Dying in SS13 in
2015 was a significantly different experience with different
consequences than it has now, and right now "kills you when you use it"
is not the same massive downside it was 7-8 years ago.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Same reason as the original PR, balloon alerts are handy for stuff you
care about right now and not in 5 minutes. Also they should probably not
tell you to do the opposite of what you actually need to do.

I went into this just planning on fixing some weird behaviour with
spider buttons and ended up touching a lot of files.
Specifically this is because some of the actions used by Giant Spiders
would print feedback messages in IsAvailable, which was bad because this
is called every time the button updates and so would (for example) print
a bunch of messages about eggs existing when you spawned as a
broodmother because the lay eggs button would be checking for that when
it was granted to you.
The feedback _is_ useful though so I've implemented a pattern used in
Spell where we just pass a flag describing whether we want to print it
or not, which is generally set to true in Trigger() or if the player
physically pressed the button.
A side effect of this is that any action with usability flags (such as
"not when handcuffed") will now tell you why it is failing if you click
it while it is unusable, which is nice.
The spider changes are largely to make sure that their buttons are
tinted at the correct time, they were previously tinted red as if
inactive at almost all times due to the icon not being updated when
relevant conditions changed.
This necessitated adding a new signal (two actually) sent when a
do_after begins and when it ends (for any reason, including premature
interruption).
I also fixed a quirk where the Wrap ability had a permanent 'active'
outline after using it once (the icon states were inverted).
I also fixed a bug where you could just lay infinite enriched eggs after
eating one guy, which is not how the game describes it as working.
I looked up the PR adding it
(https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/54451) and one egg per kill
seems to be how it is supposed to work.
And finally I changed a few nurse spider to_chats into balloon_messages,
on the principle that they're not information which needs to stick
around for more than a few seconds.
About The Pull Request
Adds a skillchip to the chef's vendor. This vendor allows the chef to kiss their food to deliver a chef's kiss.
Chef's kissing your food will add the "love" reagent to the food, which makes people much happier when they eat it. Be careful, overdosing on love can cause heart attacks.
Refactors microwaving.
Separates microwaving out of the edible component and makes it its own element, like grillable and bakeable.
Also removes some magic numbers from microwave code.
Code improvements all around baking and grilling code.
Refactors edible component inheritance.
Inheriting the edible component is now a viable way to cleanly add food types, flags, and callbacks. This makes it much much easier to change the values of an edible item without adding hacky signals / procs / getcomponent.
Why It's Good For The Game
Emergent chef gameplay.
Being able to further enhance your food with mood buffs.
Better code.

these two videos and you will understand all of the mechanical depth of
this change.

### **Disclaimer: Effect on gameplay extremely limited and niche read at
your own risk**
Starting at the top, regarding the species datum, the vars attack_type,
punchdamagelow, punchdamagehigh, punchstunthreshold, attack_verb,
attack_effect, attack_sound, and miss_sound have been removed.
All bodyparts (not just arms) now have corresponding variables for how
they should act if utilized in an unarmed attack. The bodyparts vars are
correlated to their corresponding species. All arm type bodyparts have
been repathed through a common parent for the purposes of keeping
variables consistent. The same is true for the legs.
When a carbon begins an unarmed attack, it will check the carbon's brain
to see what limb should be used for the attack.
If the brain has no answers it will default to the arm that corresponds
to the active hand of the attacker. Currently in all brains except
monkeys, it check to see if the attackers target target is laying down,
and if so, call for a kick with the leg that corresponds with the
attackers active hand. If the attacker has no useable legs, or the
attacker does not have a corresponding leg to the active hand, or the
target is not laying down, the brain will simply default for an attack
with the active hand.
Monkeys brains (take note the difference between having a monkey brain
and being controlled by monkey AI) are the exception, they will simply
always choose their heads, and by default an attack with the head is a
bite attack.
As an example:
Previously ethereal would make attacks that used the verb "burn" and did
burn damage despite what limbs they possessed.
Now anybody with an ethereal limb will make an unarmed attack that does
burn damage and has all the same verbs as an ethereal would.
And finally, the chunky finger species trait has been moved over to the
species arms. Effect on other sources like insuls remains unchanged.
<!-- Describe The Pull Request. Please be sure every change is
documented or this can delay review and even discourage maintainers from

## Why It's Good For The Game
The main motivation is moving direct mechanical elements off of species
to, quoting tralezab here, "Make species like a blueprint."
Opens more opportunities for coders to add specific elements to limbs,
perhaps we could see a buff to unarmed strikes from robot arms, or a
species that headbutts people to death.
Also undeniably cool, and fixes some weirdness like fully auged
ethereals still doing their normal ethereal attack.

## About The Pull Request
so, scope and kinesis are the only things in the game (other than the
body zone selector) which use the function MouseMove. this tracks every
mouse movement, which meant we had to stuff a cooldown on it to not
calculate a ton of useless stuff. this time can misalign if you move
your mouse fast, not registering at all, as well as not working out with
the 0.2 second processing time of the things handling it (the scope
component and kinesis module)
instead of doing that, we are now keeping the mouse parameters as a
variable, which we update with every mousemove to the current
parameters. then we handle the calculations right as we need them (in
the kinesis/scope) module, rather than relying on mousemove cooldowns,
this should hopefully feel way better

* PKP Mind Virus: Glorfing Cigs edition
If you glorf while smoking you'll get the cig stuck in your throat, leaving you unable to breath, speak, or eat. Based off the sort of cig you have a random delay before you vomit up the cig. (Pipes last forever don't philoso-larp kids). Other players can help you by using the help action on you while you're hurt, which leads to something imitating the himelich manuver, a broken chest, and a vomited up blockage. Other forms of vomiting will work too, if that's even applicable.
Oh I fixed a bug in vomit code. Because paralyzing you forces you to the ground, thus changing your dir, paralyzing vomits always went down. This is cringe, easy fix tho.
Ah and I added some extra functionality to sound loops too. You can set them to pick and take from the provided list, then refilling it once it's empty. This keeps some variety while preventing the risk of repeat sounds
Oh and I added some new signals. Some misc ones, for force say and a different kind of help then the existing one, which I renamed. One for breathing, which I used to clean up leroxin. I was planning to hook this but didn't need to in the end.
One for vomiting too. and eating. Also added a way to update looping timer delays. Forgot about that, I also added variable delay for sound loops, because I thought it sounded better here.

I recategorized EVERY /datum/design/ IN THE GAME to be more UX friendly and I HATE MYSELF FOR IT
I refactored techfab UI to WORK ANYWHERE for ANY MACHINE THAT USES /datum/design as a SET OF MODULAR COMPONENTS
I moved a lot of DESIGNS EXCLUSIVE TO THE AUTOLATHE to also work IN PROTOLATHES
I made MATERIAL ICONS animate between ICON STATES for STACKS
I PUT ICONS IN ALL OF YOUR FABRICATORS
I SOMEHOW DID ALL OF THIS WITHOUT LOSING ANY PERFORMANCE
ALSO SUPPORTS COMPONENT PRINTERS AND MODULE DUPLICATORS
Other garbage:
Fixed numerous spelling and consistency issues in designs
Removed Machine Design (<x>) and Computer Design (<x>) from all relevant designs
All designs are now in title case
Numerous designs that were formerly autolathe exclusives can now also be printed at a protolathe (but not all); this is mostly just service equipment like drinking glasses and plates and silverware
Circuits components can no longer be printed at a circuit imprinter (fixes
Integrated circuit components printed in the component printer/module printer cost twice as much than from an un upgraded circuit printer #67758)
Designs that are not sensible for a department to have are no longer accessible to that department (read: medbay printing turbine parts)
Why It's Good For The Game
Improved UX for techfabs, but also for mechfabs and autolathes, and oh look it's pretty!
also I spent like eight hours doing nothing but categorizing /datum/designs and I'll cry if some version of this doesn't get merged eventually

* 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.
* Makes flags properly check themselves
Byond ref: https://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/operator/&
Basically, flags should use & instead of ==
We can have more than 1 slot on any item, so it's preferred that we do this instead. Even if it doesn't immediately fix any problems, it's something that should be the standard anyways to prevent it from ever being a problem.

About The Pull Request
Heretics can no longer be converted to a cult, as they follow their own Forgotten Gods.
Instead, Nar'Sie will reward the cult for managing to sacrifice one, with the bastard sword.
The bloody bastard sword has been cleaned up codewise and all that. Because it is a free reward instead of a (removed) progression mechanic of cult, it swings just a bit slower during the spin and doesn't have a jaunt. It's still a !fun! swinging sword of hilarity and death.
BLOODY BASTARD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukznXQ3MgN0

Why It's Good For The Game
Bloody bastard sword was fun, it made no sense that heretics were valid converts when they're already worshipping a DIFFERENT evil god granting them powers.

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.

Changelog
cl
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
/cl
* Fixes weather sounds
Timber changed the args to this signal in cbc6f35f54, and didn't update my code.
Damn you timber.
Thanks to that bro in coderbus who told me about this
Adds a seethrough component!
Standing behind a big object with this component will make the object transparent:

And no one else can see it:
And yes you can click through it thanks to the power of plane masters!
Standing behind a tree is a pretty big meme and people will have to either shift right click or bump into you to ever find you. This makes it so much better to implement big objects, since they no longer obscure the tiles behind them
It's also useful for existing big objects, like billboards and the likes

qol: You can now see through big trees when you stand behind them!
refactor: Adds a seethrough component to make it easier to add big stationairy objects without reducing visibility
/🆑
Info
This is done by sending an override overlay to the user that obscures the normal object and plays an animation.
It registers an ENTERED signal on specific turfs. Those tiles in which it hides stuff is defined as a list of list coordinates, for which I made a global list with some defines. It's really crappy and I'd appreciate some feedback on that
I'm tired of seeing it in the runtime log. If the signals_log file exists, that means something needs to be fixed. Enjoy.
admin: Moved signal overriden stack_trace warnings to it's own log file.
Removes canuserrotate from rotation context
Removes the check on whether the user can rotate a chair or not, in the screentip context message.
We shouldn't check to see if a person can or can't rotate a chair or not, they will instead get the feedback when they try to rotate it if they fail, but it's better if the screentip let them know it's a mechanic that exists.
* Fixes Bread Smite Causing Some Fucked Up Shit
Hey there,
So basically, when you had the bread smite done on you, you were _just_ added to the contents of the bread. Nothing more. That means that you could pick it up. You couldn't add it to your bag (it would always return back into your hand(?)), but it would create some weird oddities that was just cursed in general. Let's make it so you can't hold the container that you are contained within by giving you HANDS_BLOCKED.
* actually we don't need the named arg
lets get rid of the cursed thing entirely
* removes sanity check
* we do a bit of component trolling
THIS TOOK ME TWO HOURS FUCK YOU
* removes cruft comment
* cleans up code a teeny bit, upgrades to incapacitated
* wait that named arg is still there wtf
