## About The Pull Request
Fixes#63886
(The previous pr to fix added melee cooldown time but that only applies
after the ability ends)
Adds a cooldown to melee before the bubblegum starts charging so it
won't melee while charging.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This is how Bubblegum's charge worked before mob abilities but at the
time of this abilities creation melee cooldowns were not apart of mob
abilities and did not work properly together.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Bubblegum can no longer melee you while using his charge abilities.

## About The Pull Request
### Suit Storage
Makes the suit storage of the various suits consistent across one
another. Now, all the mining suits use a single list which is easier to
maintain.
**The affected suit list is as follows;**
Explorer Suits (and therefore Syndicate Explorer Suits), Goliath Cloaks,
Bone Armor, Drake Armor, Godslayer Armor, Berserker Armor, Mining
MODsuits, H.E.C.K. Suit.
**The list of holdable items is as follows;**
Flashlights, Proto-Kinetic Accelerators, Advanced Mining Scanners /
Mining Scanners, Pickaxes, Upgraded Resonators / Resonators, Ore Bags,
Air Tanks, Spears, special monster organs like Regenerative Cores,
Knives, Proto-Kinetic Crushers, Cleaving Saws (the one that Blood-Drunk
Miners drop), Grappling Guns and Climbing Hooks.
~~It probably doesn't matter too terribly much because you know only air
tanks are going in that slot 95% of the time~~
### Bone Armor and Goliath Cloaks
Bone armor and goliath cloaks both have the same armor values,
environmental protections and coverage as the explorer suit (bone armor
includes the feet due to the sprite physically covering the feet, which
is not a terribly significant balancing point but worth mentioning).
They use the armor plate component to improve the parts of bone armor.
However, they use bone talismans instead of goliath hide to be upgraded.
Goliath cloaks come fully upgraded. You'll see why in a second.
Their recipes are slightly different. Goliath cloaks take nine hides
(I'm so sorry this is for consistency I promise you can't use the
upgrade system with something that deletes its own armor values like
this) and three sinew. Bone armor takes three goliath hides and 6 bone.
### Berserker Armor
Berserker armor can now be improved to the same armor value as drake
armor by using a full suit on both the body and the helmet of the
berserker armor. (Each drake makes two suits, so you need to use up both
suits).
Instead of an armor boost, rage now halves incoming brute damage. Fuck
you, Bubblegum!
### Minor Mining MODsuit Tweak and other armor value changes
The base value for the armor is now 20, rather than 15, so that when it
reaches max ash accretion it has equivalent armor to a fully upgraded
explorer suit. This is only a value difference of 5, but it always
annoyed me seeing it.
All the above mentioned suits also now have a value of about 10 wound
armor. This is because miners do actually experience wounding on
lavaland. Some of the armors had this wound armor. Some didn't. Now they
all do. I don't believe this to have been a deliberate design choice,
but rather, an oversight. Iunno, someone who keeps track of this please
tell me otherwise.
Upgraded suits get a prefix to show they are upgraded. Now, never doubt
whether the miner you are fighting is in a baseline explorer suit or a
riot suit level improved explorer suit ever again!
### Berserker Armor actually covers up clothing/hair underneath properly
and other minor stuff
This is why I started this PR by the way. This one fix. I expand the
scope of my horizons so broadly when I really sit down and PR, don't I?
H.E.C.K. and Berserker helmets can be used for internals.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There is a great deal of inconsistency with regards to the various
lavaland armor you can find and use. Some armors were wildly inferior to
others and only really having value for aesthetic. Some just seemed to
have oversights that didn't seem quite right. And most importantly, the
actual storage list for mining suits in general were not only
inconsistent in of themselves, but were also not being updated as time
goes on.
Bringing them all into line allows for miners to have a bit of freedom
of choice when it comes to appearance, without it becoming a balancing
sticking point nor a detriment to their effectiveness. It is also much
easier to maintain one list than six or seven lists.
Assuming that the baseline of the explorer suit is a-okay for someone to
possess, goliath cloaks and bone armor should now feel more like
fashionable choices rather than, in some cases, being either a worse or
better choice to take (its bone armor, bone armor is the best of these,
its really good generalist armor). I don't care what effect it has on
the ashlander economy. Neither should you.
The minor tweaks and fixes are just stuff that annoyed me for autism
reasons or were oversights due to changes to the items in question or
the game around it. I doubt anyone but me cares very much about these
minor differences, but I like consistency.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: The various mining related suits now have consistent suit
storage. Try putting a knife into your explorer suit's suit storage
today!
balance: Bone armor work similarly to explorer suits, with similar armor
values and options to upgrade their parts. However, they use bone
talismans instead of goliath hides to upgrade. Magic? Just believing
really strongly that the drake is hitting you slightly less hard because
of the talismans? You be the judge.
balance: Goliath cloaks come fully upgraded. However...
balance: The recipes for bone armor and goliath cloaks are slightly
different. Particularly goliath cloaks, which need a lot more dead
goliaths to make. Sorry.
balance: Mining MODsuits achieve at maximum ash accretion the same
amount of melee armor as an upgraded explorer suit.
balance: These various suits also consistently have wound armor.
fix: Berserker armor properly hides underclothing and hair.
balance: Berserker armor pieces can absorb drake armor to gain their
enhanced protection. Become the warrior of Khorne you've always wanted
to be.
balance: Berserker rage now halves brute damage rather than just adding
Melee Armor to you and your squishy body.
qol: Berserker and H.E.C.K. helmets can be used for internals.

## About The Pull Request
Converts wendigo's abilities into mob abilities, behavior should be
almost identical to how it was before. Also gave megafauna the same
night vision as normal lavaland mobs since controlling them and being

were made into global procs so they could be used across these
abilities, but if there's a better way to do that I'm open to it.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes https://github.com/wall-nerds/wallening/issues/100
Replaces a couple of instances of abilities using the icons of walls or
floors with different, somewhat more descriptive icons.
I will be honest I do not understand why two of these were even using
iron walls as an icon.
Both of these instances were cases of "I want to surround something" so
I have replaced them with this icon:

I have also replaced the "freeze floors" ability icon with the ice cube
icon, rather than a 32x32 ice floor icon.

I removed a bunch of old copies of goggles items from the `robot-items`
dmi and made them just reference the corresponding item sprites that
they were copies of, because they were out of date with the items and
using deprecated sprites. X-Ray now just looks like the red sam fisher
goggles instead of a caution sign (not that it is obtainable in game).
Oh also I added a tooltip to Ice Demon afterimages because it didn't
have one.
## Why It's Good For The Game

I've done some changes to the scope component so that it can be applied
to items other than guns.
Binoculars now use it instead of changing the player view size, and lets
them move around while the zoom is on at the cost of a moderate
slowdown. This is both more comfortable, cooler and less laggier than
the previous method. Take in mind it still takes both hands to use
binoculars, so there's no much room for exploitation anyway.
This PR also makes the mothic softcap from the curator kit special: it
too has the scope component, albeit of a much shorter range, because
it's probably the least interesting kit of them all right now and has
nothing that the curator cannot get by walking in the aux base
construction room, except for a pair of pockets in the mothic coat,
though that's superseeded by the Trailwarden kit's saddlepack. It's
pretty fitting if you ask since the softcap has some goofy-looking
googles drawn on it.
Oh, items that aren't guns also have a different mouse tracker icon of
two circles joined together, instead of a reticle.
## About The Pull Request
FOV as it is currently implemented is incompatible* with wallening.
I'm doin wallening, so we gotta redo things here.
The issue is the masking of mobs. Wallening relies on sidemap (layering
based off physical position), which only works on things on the same
plane (because planes are basically sheets we render down onto)
So rather then masking mobs, let's reuse the masking idea from old fov,
and use it to cut out a bit of the game render plane, and
blur/over-saturate the bit that's masked out.
My hope is this makes things visible in light, but not as much in
darkness, alongside making more vivid shit more easily seen (just like
real life)
Here's some videos, what follows after is the commits I care about
(since I had to rip a bunch of planes to nothing, so the files changed
tab might be a bit of a mess)
Oh also I had to remove the darkness pref since the darkness is doing a
lot of the heavy lifting now. I'm sorry.
Edit:
NEW FOV SPRITES! Thanks dongle your aviator glasses will guide us to a
better future.

## Commits I Care About
[Implements something like fov, but without the planes as layers
hell](a604c7b1c8)
Rather then masking out mobs standing behind us, we use a combo color
matrix and blur filter to make the stuff covered by fov harder to see.
We achive this by splitting the game plane into two, masking both by fov
(one normally and one inversely), and then applying effects to one of
the two.
I want to make the fov fullscreens more gradient, but as an effect this
is a good start
[Removes WALL_PLANE_UPPER by adding a WALL_PLANE overlay to material
walls (init cost comes
here)](2548933739)
@Mothblocks see this. comment in commit explains further but uh, we need
to draw material walls to the light mask plane so things actually can be
seen on them, but we can't do that and also have them be big, so they
get an overlay. Sorry, slight init time bump, about 0.5 seconds. I can
kill it with wallening.
[Moves SEETHROUGH_PLANE above
ABOVE_GAME_PLANE](beec4c00e0)
I don't think it actually wants to draw here
@Time-Green I think this was you so pinging for opinion

## About The Pull Request
Does what it says on the tin. We don't have any "special" sources of
clone damage left in the game, most of them are rather trivial so I
bunched them together into this PR.
Notable things removed:
- Clonexadone, because its entire thing was centered around clone damage
- Decloner gun, it's also centered around cloning damage, I couldn't
think of a replacement mechanic and nobody uses it anyways
- Everything else already dealt clone damage as a side (rainbow knife
deals a random damage type for example), so these sources were removed
<!-- Describe The Pull Request. Please be sure every change is
documented or this can delay review and even discourage maintainers from
merging your PR! -->
## Why It's Good For The Game
Consider the four sources of normal damage that you can get: Brute,
Burn, Toxins and Oxygen. These four horsemen of the apocalypse are very
well put together and it's no surprise that they are in the game, as you
can fit any way of damaging a mob into them. Getting beaten to death by
a security officer? Brute damage. Running around on fire? Burn damage.
Poisoned or irradiated? Toxin damage. Suffocating in space? Brute, burn
and oxygen damage. Technically there's also stamina damage but that's
its own ballpark and it also makes sense why we have a damage number for
it.
Picture this now: We have this cool mechanic called "clone pods" where
you can magically revive dead people with absolute ease. We don't want
it to be for free though, it comes at a cost. This cost is clone damage,
and it serves to restrain people from abusing cloning.
Fast forward time a bit and cloning is now removed from the game. What
stays with us is a damage number that is intrinsically tied to the
context of a removed feature. It was a good idea that we had it for that
feature at the time, but now it just sits there. It's the odd one out
from all the other damage types. You can easily explain why your blade
dealt brute damage, but how are you going to fit clone damage into any
context without also becoming extremely specific?
My point is: **clone damage is conceptually a flawed mechanic because it
is too specific**. That is the major issue why no one uses it, and why
that makes it unworthy of being a damage stat.
Don't take my word for it though, because a while ago we only had a
handful of sources for this damage type in the game. And in most of the
rounds where you saw this damage, it came from only one department. It's
not worthwhile to keep it around as a damage number. People also didn't
know what to do with this damage type, so we currently have two ways of
healing clone damage: Cryotubes as a roundstart way of healing clone
damage and Rezadone, which instantly sets your clone damage to 0 on the
first tick. As a medical doctor, when was the last time you saw someone
come in with clone damage and thought to yourself, "Oh, this person has
clone damage, I cannot wait to heal them!" ?
Now we have replacements for these clone damage sources. Slimes? Slime
status effect that deals brute instead of clone. Cosmic heretics? Random
organ damage, because their mechanics are already pretty fleshed out.
Decloning virus? The virus operated as a "ticking timebomb" which used
cloning damage as the timer, so it has been reworked to not use clone
damage. What remains after all this is now a basically unused damage
type. Every specific situation that used clone damage is now relying on
another damage type. Now it's time to put clone damage to rest once and
for all.
Sure, you can technically add some form of cellular degradation in the
future, but it shouldn't be a damage number. The idea of your cells
being degraded is a cool concept, don't get me wrong, but make it a
status effect or maybe even a wound for that matter.

Converts Guardians (aka Holoparasites) into Basic Mobs.
Changes a bunch of their behaviours into actions or components which we
can reuse.
Replaces some verbs it would give to you and hide in the status panel
with action buttons that you may be able to find more quickly.
They _**should**_ work basically like they did before but a bit
smoother. It is not unlikely that I made some changes by accident or
just by changing framework though.
My one creative touch was adding random name suggestions.
The Wizard federation have a convention of naming their arcane spirit
guardians by combining a colour and a major arcana of the tarot. The
Syndicate of course won't truck with any of that mystical claptrap and
for their codenames use the much more sensible construction of a colour
and a gamepiece.
This lets you be randomly assigned such creative names as "Sparkling
Hermit", "Bloody Queen", "Blue World", or "Purple Diamond".
You can of course still ignore this entirely and type "The Brapmaster"
into the box if so desired.
I made _one_ other intentional change, which is to swap to Mothblocks'
nice leash component instead of instantly teleporting guardians back to
you when they are pulled out of the edge of their range. They should now
be "dragged" along behind you until they can't path, at which point they
will teleport. This should make the experience a bit less disorienting,
you have the recall button if you _want_ to instantly catch up.
This is unfortunately a bumper-sized PR because it did not seem
plausible to not do all of it at once, but I can make a project branch
for atomisation if people think this is too much of a pain in the ass to
review.
Other changes:
- Some refactoring to how the charge action works so I could
individually override "what you can hit" and "what happens when you hit"
instead of those being the same proc
- Lightning Guardian damage chain is now a component
- Explosive Guardian explosive trap is now a component
- Added even more arguments to the Healing Touch component to allow it
to heal tox/oxy damage and require a specific click modifier
- Life Link component which implements the Guardian behaviour of using
another mob as your health bar
- Moved some stuff about deciding what guardians look and are described
like into a theming datum
- Added a generic proc which can return whether your mob is meant to
apply some kind of damage multiplier to a certain damage type. It's not
perfect because I couldn't figure out how ot cram limb modifiers in
there, which is where most of it is on carbons. Oh well.
- Riders of vehicles now inherit all movement traits of those vehicles,
so riding a charging holoparasite will let you cross chasms. Also works
if you piggyback someone with wings, probably.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Guardians/Powerminers/Holoparasites now use the basic mob
framework. Please report any unexpected changes or behaviour.
qol: The verbs used to communicate with, recall, or banish your Guardian
are now action buttons.
balance: If (as a Guardian) your host moves slightly out of range you
will now be dragged back into range if possible, rather than being
instantly teleported to them.
balance: Protectors now have a shorter leash range rather than a longer
one, in order to more easily take advantage of their ability to drag
their charge out of danger.
balance: Ranged Guardians can now hold down the mouse button to fire
automatically.
balance: People riding vehicles or other mobs now inherit all of their
movement traits, so riding a flying mob (or vehicle, if we have any of
those) will allow you to cross chasms and lava safely.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#78721
This PR does a handful of things behind the scenes to increase the
consistency of shapechange health tracking.
First of all we adjust the order of operations taken when you restore
the original body. The implementation as-was would remove the status
effect midway through and null a bunch of variables we tried to continue
using. This would result in several runtimes and code failing to run,
with the upshot that untransforming upon death would leave the caster
completely alive, with the corpse of its transformed shape at its feet.
Oops.
Additionally while testing this I realised that transferring the damagew
as also kind of fucked.
We wouldn't bother to do it at _all_ if you died, which is a shame, so I
made it simply heal you instead of reviving you so we can always do it.
Then as noted in the linked issue, we were applying all transferred
damage to a single limb, which could exceed the health of the limb and
remove damage. Now we spread it around the body.
Finally, applying damage to a human using the "force" flag would often
actually apply less damage to their _health_ than expected. This is
because arms and legs contribute only 75% of their damage taken to a
mob's overall health.
Now instead of reading `health` we read `total damage` which ignores the
limb damage modifier.
The end result of this is that if you transform into a corgi, take 50%
of your health, and transform back then you will have 50% of your health
as a human.
Previously the result would be that you'd have ~63%, then transforming
into a corgi would leave you with ~63% of a corgi's health, then
transforming back into a human would leave you at about 71%... and so on
and so forth. Now it doesn't do that.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Dying when using (most) shapeshift spells will now kill you rather
than having you pop out of the corpse of your previous form.
fix: Damage will now be accurately carried between forms rather than
being slightly reduced upon each transformation.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new Wizard Ritual Finale effect which makes everything immortal.
By this I mean, 10 seconds after death a ghostly image of them will
appear somewhere near where the corpse was and then 50 seconds after
that the mob will return to life at that location.
This applies to every mob, everywhere.
This is likely to cause a little bit of disruption to the rest of the
round, so you can only do it after at least 30 minutes have passed.
After that the crew will have to figure out how to deal with their new
gift of immortality. It will involve throwing people into chasms and
lava, probably.

Here's a gif sped up for example purposes.
You can escape from the cycle of death and rebirth via suicide, purely
because it's pointless to try and force people to play the video game if
they don't want to.
Also I split all of these effects into their own files, the only new
code for those is in `immortality.dm`

## About The Pull Request
Some changes to Cosmic and Knock heretic ascensions, in response to
feedback.
- Cosmic Heretics can no longer control their summon while jaunted.
- Additionally the death link element the Star Gazer used... wouldn't
work if there was more than one cosmic heretic. I refactored it into a
component, so that it would.
Frankly there are probably a lot of _other_ abilities which shouldn't be
usable while jaunted but are, but I have been burned in the past by
adding defaults which were applied too widely so we'll leave it
case-by-case for now.
- The Knock rift can no longer summon Flesh Worms of any kind.
- But it _can_ summon fire sharks (we really need to reflavour these...)
and any future "basic mob" heretic mobs (or ones which are converted).
- Additionally the rift can't be clicked by ghosts while it's polling
ghosts automatically because that would create funky empty-minded mobs.
- Finally it goes away when the heretic dies.
## Why It's Good For The Game
For Cosmic Heretics, controlling the Star Gazer in conjunction with
Space Jaunt essentially meant that the heretic was playing an RTS as an
invincible observer with an invulnerable unit, now they have to actually
be present and killable in order to sic The Beast on you.
For Knock Heretics, Minor Flesh Worms are a proof of concept which was
never meant to be used except by admins. They're _barely_ weaker than a
normal flesh worm, extraordinarily tanky, delete walls, and generally
devalue the Flesh path ascension.
Vanishing upon heretic death is because every _other_ ascension is at
least theoretically stoppable except this one. Now this one is too.
It's still _very hard_ to kill the heretic because every _10 seconds_
they can transform into a heretic mob which acts as an extra health
pool.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: If two cosmic heretics ascend in the same round, their star gazer
survival will be linked to each individual heretic and not shared by
just one of them.
fix: You can't click the Knock heretic portal to join as a mob while
already signed up to become a mob.
balance: Cosmic heretics can't order the Star Gazer around while
jaunting.
balance: The Knock Heretic portal cannot summon Flesh Worms, but can
summon Fire Sharks.
balance: The Knock Heretic portal will disperse if its creator is
killed.

## 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.

## 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
This PR fixes the xenomorph sentinel's Sneak ability having an error
icon as opposed to the intended appearance. This PR also adds a smooth
alpha transition to Sneak as opposed to setting the alpha immediately.
Having your alpha drop to its sneak value takes 0.5 seconds, which is
fast enough that it really shouldn't matter.
This PR also changes sneak's chat message alert to a balloon alert.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The icon thing is a bugfix, which is always good. The alpha
transitioning instead of being immediately set looks much better in my
opinion, I think most would agree on that front. Balloon alerts are our
preferred option as opposed to chat alerts now, so its also a good thing
to change.

## About The Pull Request
This PR replaces the tiny mob sprite abilities for our large mobs with a
Toggle Seethrough ability. What this does when enabled is make yourself
transparent on your own client and makes you unable to click yourself.
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
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.

add: Watcher eyes will be illuminated briefly when they are ready to
fire at you.

for moving while they can see you.

## About The Pull Request
i have refactored ice whelps into basic mobs. They are now the artistic
sort as theyll mark their territory by seeking out icy rocks and carve
out statues of theirselves using their claws to serve as a warning to
players/animals that this is dragon turf and theyll also go out of their
way to burn any trees in vicinity just for the hell of it. they are now
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
only do them after a delay so players can react in time for it.

## 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
This pr adds a young spiders that appear between spiderlings and adult
spiders. Now spiders have a stage where they are squishy but can also
spin webs and do some other things early depending on the spider type.
Spiderling stage takes 40 seconds and young spider stage take 1 minute,
ealier for spiderling this was 1 minute. Also adds a new wizard spider
sprite and makes the spider form usable.
Gives Wizard Spider version has better immunity against fire since it
can kill a wizard very fast it they are not paying attention.
Makes tangle spider get more health but makes the self-healing worse.
This is done because spider is a team antag except for the flesh
(changeling spider), making it so solo-playing as tangle is less
encouraged.
Scout spiderling gets thermal vision also. It cannot communicate, but it
can already start scouting now.
Viper deals bonus damage when an enemy is on low health. Toxins don't
kill humans anymore, and since the viper spider only deals 5 damage now
it deals more so it can actually take down enemies at low health. They
also have a little more health since they always die very fast. Viper
can also change between a defensive/slow mode with more armor or a
offensive/speed mode with less armor.
Nurse spider heals for 25 instead of 20, since 25 is one laser shot, it
makes more sense for the nurse spider to be able to heal that amount.
Flesh spider grows faster since they are a solo antag and spawn killing
isn't cool.
Tarantula spider can now tear down walls by clicking them instead of
needing to use their charge attack. They can also build wall webs and
passage webs. Their damage coeffs also got the regular burn factor for
spider so their health also increased a bit.


## Why It's Good For The Game
Now there is a smooth transition between the tiny spiderling and the
bigger spider stage. This will promote people to help the hive at an
earlier stage while not being too powerful yet. It is also realistic and
adds extra flavor to the spider antag. The other balance changes are
improvements to the game.

## About The Pull Request
I'm slowly chipping away at mining mobs. These ones also got some new
sprites because the old ones were a bit weird except when facing South.

Arctic Lobstrosities are now hairy to give them a little more visual
distinction from Lavaland ones.
In terms of behaviour, they're now a little faster and can charge you
from further away.
They will _only_ attack players who are incapacitated in some way
(primarily from being hit by their charge, but could be from a Goliath
or something too) and will otherwise keep their distance until they can
charge again. They move slower for a short duration after charging
though, so you have time to slap them a bit.
If a Lobstrosity downs you then it will try to snip off one of your
arms, then retreat in order to eat it.
Obviously nobody likes losing an arm, but this does give you an
opportunity to get away while it is distracted? Funnily enough the way
our health system works means that sometimes losing that arm actually
takes you out of soft crit so you can stumble back to the station for a
replacement (or try to wrestle yours back?)
All of these things are achievable also by a player if you make one
sapient, they will pull arms off mobs they attack which are in crit and
can eat arms if they see them lying around if they want.
I added an element to let you dismember people with your bare hands,
maybe someone evil can use it to add a beheading attack some day.
Here's a video of their new behaviours:

## About The Pull Request
WHAT HAS CHANGED MECHANICALLY
You can now lean up against walls.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/55666666/bf81b7b5-6cab-4fc3-9887-075351511505
To lean against a wall, simply face opposite to it and drag your sprite
onto it.
Doing so makes you non-dense, just like if you were laying down. This
means people can walk through you, but you are still susceptible to
melee and ranged attacks. Leaning up against a wall also mitigates your
FOV loss by 30 degrees, as you can have a better look at your
surrounding when you put more of your surroundings infront of you.
Because it seemed thematic to lean up against the wall while smoking and
then flick a cigarette away, cigarettes will now say they where
"flicked" instead of thrown when you toss them, I also took the time to
add a bit of variation into the throw text.
A few bugs where you could become non dense and then run straight
through people has been patched.
NOT PLAYER FACING
So basically I've implemented a system that keeps effects that manage a
mob's density consistent with eachother.
An example of some of the situations that could occur
Effect A would render a spaceman undense and turn the player dense again
once it was concluded
Effect B would render a spaceman undense and then after a timer revert
the spaceman to whatever state the spaceman was in before effect B
started.
Thus if you enabled effect A and then Effect B, setting your previous
state of denseness to undense, and then concluded effect A, when Effect
B would finish it would put you back into the state of density you were
in when you started. This would render the spaceman permanently undense.
To solve this, the system has been updated so that all instances of
density adjustment to mobs are handled by traits from unique sources
(with the exception undensity gained by laying down due to its
prevalence.) All effects that handle density will no longer step on each
others toes and can now be rain simultaneously without fear.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Leaning is cool. Bugs are bad.

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.
