## About The Pull Request
I have added the ability to create and edit station radio channels
through the existing telecommunications system.
You can change the name of the radio channel and its color.
The channel settings are changed and created through the servers
(Frequencies Settings)

Here i created my own channel:
1) Add frequency at Receiver (you will not see channel name):

2) Add frequency at Bus (you will not see channel name):

3) Add frequency at Server
4) Add settings for your frequency

5) See the result:

Important Notes:
1) Headsets, radios, and intercoms will not see a change in
telecommunications, but will use standard names (Common, Security etc.).
2) There are still reserved names that cannot be used: CentComm,
Syndicate, Uplink, CTFs channels
3) Servers must filter frequency for applying settings on them
## Why It's Good For The Game
Now telecommunication channels names and colors depends on the settings
of the network servers, which makes it more flexible and logical. It is
also useful for foreign language servers, as you can translate channel
names.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added ability to change existing radio channels and create new
qol: Added color for some buttons in Telecomms UI

## About The Pull Request
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/91619 missed a couple that I
use and I want them back!!
Also unhides the report-issue verb as it's kind of a pain to get to now
with the removal of the ever present button above stat panel.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
This is my second contribution to the move towards removing the stat
panel (first one being https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/90572
)
This moves the info buttons at the top right of the game's screen
(Changelog, Rules, Wiki, etc) to the Escape menu, except for Fullscreen
which is now a pref instead. This means you can set Fullscreen to be on
permanently and every launch will automatically fullscreen you (the
viewport will be a little off because it only fixes it once
initialization is complete). This follows through rounds and auto
updates if you set your game to fullscreen with the OOC button or F11,
so players will learn about the pref after playing a round with
fullscreen enabled.
What the game now looks like
##### Alt ideas for sprites: Changelog can be a newspaper and Forums can
be a newscaster
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7871a226-1e0b-410d-a690-88f3616bebb0
This is something I wanted to do since the Esc menu was added but just
never got around to it, but here it is.
## Why It's Good For The Game
These buttons don't warrant being in the player's face 24/7 and since
we've want to remove the stat panel and this has to be somewhere, I
thought it would be a better fit in the Escape menu. It helps make the
Esc menu the tool players use to access their OOC tools and overall I
think improves the appearance of the game's screen to something more
like an actual game would look like, especially when our comparison is
SS14.
## Changelog
🆑
qol: Info buttons previously at the top right of your screen (Changelog,
wiki, forums) is now in the Escape menu.
qol: Fullscreen is now a preferences and will follow you through rounds.

What it was doing was by and large fine, HOW it was doing it SUCKED
I've cleaned it up and the nearby code some, notable hits include:
- random if check in secrets ui that was totally unused
- proc called add that actually set
- lists not defined as such
- stupid var names
- proc args which did nothing
- code which did nothing
- oververbose code
- proc/var names with no spacing at all
Note: This might have changed behavior accidentally, I've done my best
to test but we'll need to look out for issue reports in coming days.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a couple helpers from #90354
1. `/proc/pick_recursive()` > able to take in nested lists and pick one
object from them. Works the same way `pick_weight_recursive()` does,
just without all the extra `_weight` stuff
2. `span_tinynicegreen()` > we had span_tiny for danger and notice but
not nicegreen, just filling that gap
3. `/matrix/proc/get_angle()` > Tells us the angle a matrix is currently
in
4. `GLOB.all_tool_behaviours` > in case you wanted an easy list for all
tool behaviors
5. `transition_filter_chain()` > a more complicated one, this is used if
you want to make an animation chain for a filter. (Thank you
LemonInTheDark for the help on this one.)

## About The Pull Request
On all maps, the captain will find a brand new green screen and camera
set up in their quarters
This is used to cast the captain's (or anyone's who breaks in) face to
all status displays across the station
(It will also relay your voice to them)

NOTE: Some maps have a stunning lack of evac displays
Noticeably **Wawa** has like 10. So these will be less effective on
those maps.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gives Captains a more personable way of addressing the crew for
impromptu announcements rather than resorting to the announcement
computer.
Also opens up shenanigans.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert, Wallem
add: Adds recording setups to the Captain's office on all maps, allowing
them to project their face to all status displays on the station
add: Centcom now has a soundstage for broadcasting to the station. It's
besides the Thunderdome.

## About The Pull Request
I have used a small hidden 515 feature, that disables white borders on
elements, if the colour of the element deviates even slightly from the
greyscale
For example, if you set color for skin button #FFFFFF (Pure white),
Byond will add "3D" effect to button. BUT, if you set color to #FEFFFF,
Byond makes it flat

## About The Pull Request
The first Curator now spawns with a **Broadcast Camera**, a normal-sized
item that can be wielded to start a live broadcast to all entertainment
screens across the Station! It also broadcasts sound through a new
Entertainment radio channel that can be spoken into by the Curator. The
broadcast name can be changed by right-clicking the camera.
<details>
https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/cfe2a147-15b3-4a96-85e2-3082376a0e9a
</details>
Also adds a new clothing set to the Heroic Beacon of the Curator themed
around Journalists containing some unique clothing, a microphone, a
Press badge used for shoving into people's faces and crafting more
clothes (like Press armor and helmet), and also a set of 1 TV and 1
entertainment radio in-case station does not have places to watch
Curator's brilliant broadcasts.

## Why It's Good For The Game
The job of Curator has 3 things it can do:
- Curate Library (lol)
- Explore Space
- **Create News!**
Although the Curator does have extended access to the Newscaster -
that's not enough of content. Inspired by the Combat Correspondent from
the Colonial Marines server - Curator now has a **Broadcast Camera**!
Using it they can show the station what the most important matters that
are going on without lifting the butts of their comfortable chairs.
No matter what Curator will report: Security raiding Medbay? Interviews
of Cargo Techs complaining about Command? Maybe even shows produced in a
studio? Anything really!
Also, entertainment screens will get more use, as right now they only
_sometimes_ broadcast Bitrunning avatars and nothing else unless admins
mess with them.
## Changelog
🆑 DrDiasyl aka DrTuxedo
add: Curator has received a new BROADCAST CAMERA which can broadcast the
surroundings LIVE on Entertainment Screens/ Alongside with some other
Journalism related gear in his Heroic Beacon
sound: Entertainment screens now play muffled speech when hearing a

This uses a browser skin element to spy on the command bar and report
back to the server what verb is currently in it and how many characters
it has. it skips reporting if the text hasn't changed since the last
report.
im intentionally not providing the full text in the command bar to the
server, while designing the system so new verbs can be given typing
indicators by editing DM code, not html code.
The report rate is once a second but this could be lowered or tweaked.
Both the tgui say window being open and this system being active because
the command bar starts with `say "` is undefined behavior, mostly the
first one to end the indicator will just freeze indicators for the other
one until it too ends its current indicator session.
The system waits until something besides the `"` is in the argument to
say.
It is enabled for verbs `say`, `me`, and `whisper`.
I don't actually know if this is the case for tgui say. this is a one
line tweak anyways so let me know if this should be changed.

## About The Pull Request
We needed to replace our maptext font. Closes
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/73002
Replaced with a pair of new fonts, made some improvements and fixes
while we're at it.
- Two new maptext fonts: Grand9K and TinyUnicode
- These two scale cleanly with BYOND icon sizes, so no antialiasing of
already tiny fonts making it look bad when enlarged on screen
- Fixed size fonts now have metrics to be used properly on overlays
(such as status display) where a client (a requirement for MeasureText)
is not feasible
- VCR OSD Mono still here, usable as a variable size font with larger
text
- Synchronizes status display scrolling speed between lines
- Fixed special maptexts for yelling, clown, redtext, greentext

## About The Pull Request
I think it was previously named "goon" in relation to "goonchat", but
that was phased out three years ago, so it's just confusing to have a
"goon" folder especially when historically those tend to refer to
specialized folders meant for containing content under a non aGPL
license
However, everything in this folder appears to just be styles ported from
goonchat when tgchat was created, which is fine, but it's just confusing
since none of the stuff is licensed under anything from goon- just an
odd name to my eyes.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's a much more fitting name as to what these files specifically
pertain too, rather than be an arcane reference to a system that has not
been used in quite a while...

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).
## Changelog
🆑
qol: New players will now get a contextual tutorial for how to switch
hands and drop items.

## About The Pull Request
Blob UI refactor that started from sorting blobs into their appropriate
orbit section.
Original issue:
Permanently hostile antags like blob can produce minions, but these lil
guys don't actually get an antag datum and thus don't get sorted into
the proper section in the orbit menu.
Now:
- Blob minions also go in "Biohazards" section of orbit UI
- Blob helper text is now an antag info UI
- Blobs get their own text span type instead of boring big chat
- Blob minions get actual objective: Protect the core
<details>
<summary>View the OUTDATED blob antag info screen:</summary>

</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
Orbit menu will now properly sort player controlled blob minions into
the biohazard sections, making it easier to distinguish the bad guys
Blob antag info is a little easier to read, much more in line with the
other antags
## Changelog

* Optimizes MouseEntered
Moves status_bar_set_text into the interface definition itself. We don't need to use MouseEntered for this
anymore, since lummy added an on-status paramerter to the main window This saves us a little under half our cpu
time
Gets rid of a needless ?. check, caches a datum var access, inlines a text define.
These all lower the cost of MouseEntered to some degree, though to be perfectly honest with you I really think
we should be doing everything on the client side.
The only reason I'm not moving screentext over there too is because there are plans to expand on screentips to
be contextual, which wouldn't be possible. Though now that I think about it maybe that's not even true....
Anyway, I'm doing what I can to not change behavior for now. Really kinda cheesed about this though.

About The Pull Request
Rewrites the entire preferences menu in tgui. Rewrites the entire backend to be built upon datumized preferences, rather than constant additions to the preferences base datum.
Splits game preferences into its own window.
Antagonists are now split into their individual rulesets. You can now be a roundstart heretic without signing up for latejoin heretic, as an example.

Converts most spans into span procs. Mostly used regex for this and sorted out any compile time errors afterwards so there could be some bugs.
Was initially going to do defines, but ninja said to make it into a proc, and if there's any overhead, they can easily be changed to defines.
Makes it easier to control the formatting and prevents typos when creating spans as it'll runtime if you misspell instead of silently failing.
Reduces the code you need to write when writing spans, as you don't need to close the span as that's automatically handled by the proc.
(Note from Lemon: This should be converted to defines once we update the minimum version to 514. Didn't do it now because byond pain and such)

This pull request adds a map loader as well as new maps to CTF. When a game starts a CTF map will be selected at random and will be playable by ghosts.
As well as this new functionality CTF now fully supports 4 teams. A green and yellow team have been added complete with both standard and instagib gear.
At current five maps are planned:
Classic - the original map we all know and love
Four Side - A four team CTF map where all teams compete over one flag
Downtown - Terrestrial city themed map
Limbo - Wizard themed map featuring portals and uses KOTH rather than CTF
Cruiser - Space themed map utilizing the powerup system
Random maps are selected on game load

CTF has been more or less the same on the surface since its creation. This PR allows for some much needed map variety which will increase replay value.

About The Pull Request
This PR removes intents and replaces them with a combat mode. An explanation of what this means can be found below
Major changes:
Disarm and Grab intents have been removed.
Harm/Help is now combat mode, toggled by F or 4 by default
The context/verb/popup menu now only works when you do shift+right-click
Right click is now disarm, both in and out of combat mode.
Grabbing is now on ctrl-click.
If you're in combat mode, and are currently grabbing/pulling someone, and ctrl-click somewhere else, it will not release the grab (To prevent misclicks)
Minor interaction changes:
Right click to dissasemble tables, racks, filing cabinets (When holding the right tool to do so)
Left click to stunbaton, right click to harmbaton
Right click to tip cows
Right click to malpractice surgery
Right click to hold people at gunpoint (if youre holding a gun)
Why It's Good For The Game
Intents heavily cripple both the code and the UI design of interactions. While I understand that a lot of people will dislike this PR as they are used to intents, they are one of our weakest links in terms of explaining to players how to do specific things, and require a lot more keypresses to do compared to this.
As an example, martial arts can now be done without having to juggle 1 2 3 and 4 to switch intents quickly.
As some of you who saw the first combat mode PR, the context menu used to be disabled in combat mode. In this version it is instead on shift-right click ensuring that you can always use it in the same way.
In this version, combat mode also no longer prevents you from attacking with items when you would so before, as this was something that was commonly complained about.
The full intention of this shift in control scheme is that right click will become "secondary interaction" for items, which prevents some of the awkward juggling we have now with item modes etcetera.

We also now show [s] PRs that are testmerged, as ok-d by oranges, as this is an unofficial label that anyone can apply and doesn't necessitate hiding. It also makes debugging rounds where this was present but not reported more difficult.
