## About The Pull Request
- Being monkified / humanified no longer knocks you down
- Fairly certain this was one of the consequences of the stun refactors
of ages past, using `Paralyze` rather than `Stun`.
- Having monkifiaction cured now gives you the cure text
- Didn't call parent for some reason
- Monkification grant / cure text now has spans
- Self evident
- Being humanified now tells you what species you are rather than you're
"Human"
- Just a small tweak
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: When Monkified or Humanified, you are no longer knocked down.

fix: The text shown when cured / given Monkification now has color.
fix: Being humanified now tells you what species you become rather than
assuming you are a human.

## About The Pull Request
Recently we allowed items held in your hands to catch fire if you catch
fire.
This makes sense but the code had a few oversights, then we reverted it.
This PR reintroduces the feature, but with a few refinements.
The basic feature is simple: If you are on fire then items you are
holding will also catch fire, in the same vein as items you are wearing
on your head or hands.
There are also a few caveats we forgot about the first time we added
this:
- If your gloves cannot catch fire, your held items will not catch fire
(because your hands aren't on fire).
- If you are extinguished, your held items will also be extinguished.
- Stopping, Dropping, and Rolling on top of any items will also
extinguish those items.
As part of this change, after an argument about whether or not this is
an oversight in coding-general, I've made the proc `get_equipped_items`
take a bitflag instead of a series of booleans as an argument and added
a new one for "include held items", so that we need no longer argue
about whether holding something counts as "equipping" it (in all other
parts of the game than this proc, it does). This is what gives the PR
most of its code footprint, don't be scared.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Items you are holding in your hands _should_ catch fire if everything
else on your person is on fire, and taking an item off of your body to
put it in your hands shouldn't protect it from fire, because those
things don't make intuitive sense.
If we want an item to be able to catch fire when worn, then it should do
so.
This might expose some issues where we were improperly setting the
flammability flags on items, but any weapon which will burn in your
hands now would also have burned if you were wearing it on your belt or
back, so making those issues more visible should be a bonus (we'll also
stop them from burning on your back or belt).
If you see someone holding a piece of paper that you really don't want
them to read you can now set them on fire to stop them from reading it,
whereas previously they would deftly hold the very flammable object out
of reach of their flaming body.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Items held in your hands can catch fire.
balance: Items you are holding won't catch fire if your hands cannot
catch fire.
balance: When you stop being on fire so will items you are holding.
balance: If you roll around on your burning items they will stop being
on fire.

This PR adds the ability for monkeys to wear any jumpsuit in the game,
and adds support for them to wear things like coats, gloves, and shoes
(though this cannot be obtained in-game and is solely achieved through
admins, which I also improved a bit upon by adding a defined bitfield
for no equip flags).
This reverts a lot of changes from
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/73325 - We no longer check
height from limbs and such to bring sprites down, instead monkeys now
work more similarly to humans, so the entire PR was made irrelevant, and
I didn't really want to leave around dead code for the sake of having a
human with longer legs.
I've now also added support for Dwarfism, which makes monkeys look even
smaller. Very minor change but at least now the mutation doesn't feel
like it does literally nothing to monkeys (since they can already walk
over tables).
Here's a few examples of how it can appear in game (purely for
demonstration, as it is currently intentionally made impossible to
obtain in-game, though if someone wants to change that post-this PR now
that support is added, feel free):
Tails have been broken for a while now, the only reason you see them
in-game is because they are baked into the monkey sprites. This fixes
that, which means humans can now get monkey tails implanted into them
(hell yeah) and monkeys can have their tails removed (also hell yeah)
## About The Pull Request
After months of preparation, and further months of work, I am finally
done. Please bear with me, as this is a massive refactor, but I have
already atomized everything I could. This is now ready for review.
General
- The hilbert hotel slimes are now a subtype instead of a varedit.
- The `use_mob_ability` subtree now also accepts non cooldown abilities.
If set_behaviours is set up properly, mobs won't keep continously
triggering it as if it were a 0 second cooldown action. The alternative
would have been turning the slime abilities into cooldown abilities.
- Wrestling off a slime now signs up to the `COMSIG_ATOM_ATTACK_HAND`
signal, instead of being part of attack_hand.
- Adds datum/ai_controller/controller as a fourth, optional argument to
`/datum/ai_behavior/find_hunt_target/valid_dinner()` to make it possible
to access blackboard keys.
- Slimes no longer attack windows if they would accidentally move into
them (when the conditions are met), since random walk behaviour ignores
tiles they can't go in. It was also not worth to keep. Did you know this
was the sole override of `ObjBump()`?
- Examine was made less snowflaky/bespoke. Also added a new element:
`/datum/element/basic_health_examine`, which is a simple bespoke element
that prints out a custom message based on how damaged the basic mob it
is attached to is.
- Slimes only perform knockdown instead of paralysis, as they can attack
more often now, and paralysis is not that fun.
- LAssailant has been removed due being archaic code. To befriend a
slime, you have to spawn a monkey with the slime console, or feed them a
sheet of plasma. Simple grabbing the monkey or stuffing them in
disposals do not work anymore. Slime console spawned monkeys will have a
visible status effect, with pheromones coming off them to make this
clearer.
Actions
- Feeding, reproduction and evolution is no longer a verb.
- Slime feeding is no longer an action button. You have to use right
click, or as previously, mousedrop. Slimes can always unbuckle from mobs
they are attached to.
Hunger
- Instead randomly changing the starvation and max nutrition values
while growing up, evolution costs 200 nutrion. This makes the code more
readable, and behaviour more predictable, while still giving the
intended time between evolving and splitting. As a result, I could also
turn these into defines.
- Added a component that handles doing an effect over time while buckled
to a mob, until the mob dies or you get unbuckled.
- Slimes gained nutrition is no longer randomly multiplied by the damage
config value, but rather gain nutrition equal to twice the damage dealt.
You'll have to eat one monkey to evolve, just as before.
- Slimes do not heal passively. They only heal from eating. It was a
rather miniscule value that did not have much effect.
- Slimes generate electricity from hunger threshold, instead of the
random amount of hunger threshold + 100.
Environment
- Slimes take 15 damage from cold every second, instead of using a
complex formula (that also decreased the damage up to a point?).
- Slimes still heal from burn damage, but this is now set on the damage
coefficient list.
- Slimes instead of getting stunned by the cold, freeze in an ice cube.
BZ instead of setting them unconscious, calls the stasis status effect,
allowing you to safely stash your hungry slimes for later. They also no
longer slow down from the cold, as they are already slowed down by the
damage they get. Conversely they no longer get a speed up from a random
amount of temperature. I could be convinced to readd this either as part
of the basic sensitive component, or a similar one.
AI
- Removed the attacked_stacks system. Slimes will just perform regular
retaliation if you hit them in a harmful manner.
- Slimes now use the pet orders component. They will interrupt their
feeding when given a command by their master.
- Slimes have their own subtrees. I tried to replicate as much as I
could from the old code, dividing ancient code artifacts and intentional
stuff, so there might be some weirdness.
- Slime speech has been almost fully reduced to basic blorbing, as you
can not even understand them anymore, and most of them require the slime
to loop through all of their surroundings.
- Discipline does not have stacks either. Disciplined baby slimes have a
chance to clear their attack and hunt blackboard keys. All slimes will
stop feeding on the target otherwise.
- Since discipline is not a stack, rabidity instead gets removed at a
10% chance per disciplining.
- Slimes faces are a bit more randomly picked now.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- We want to convert all simple animals to basic mobs. Old slime code
was also very strange, and had some systems that have been replicated by
components.
- Slimes fully paralyzing you is not fun at all. Knockdown should give
you a fighting chance when a slime would like to eat you.
- Slimes slow down from the heavy damage they get from the cold, so I
don't think they need extra slowdown, nor do they need to speed up from
warmth, as they are already fast.
- Slimes turning into an icecube instead of becoming paralyzed from the
cold is more fun for the slimes, as they can break out for a few
moments. It is also funny.
- Slimes entering proper stasis from BZ is not just a visual indicator
of a slime that is safe to approach, but also keeps the slimes's hunger
value in check, allowing it to not starve while stopped. They can also
look around and blorble, instead of staring at a black screen, if player
controlled.
- The attack_stack and discipline_stack behaviours were rather
overcomplicated, and the xenobio mains I talked with didn't even know it
was a thing, so I argue it needed simplification.
- The bespoke friendship system of slimes was also too complicated.
Slimes slowly gained levels of trust, and at certain levels commands
costed friendship, and other levels, they did not. The binary friend/not
friend system that everything else in the game uses is much more
sensible.
- Using right click for feeding is much more sensible than using an
action, and then picking someone from a dropdown.
- Slime speech was very soulful but not only did it loop through
everything in sight, you couldn't even understand it unless you spoke
slime. Maybe it can be readded later in a different form.
- Slime's passive healing was miniscule, and having them rely on feeding
is more interesting.

refactor: Slimes are now basic mobs. Please report any strange
behaviours!
balance: Slimes only stun you for two seconds when they shock you, the
rest of the duration is a knockdown.
balance: Slimes are not stunned from the cold, but rather, get frozen in
a freon icecube. BZ also puts them in complete stasis, instead of making
them unconscious. Their speed is likewise unchanged by temperatures.
balance: Slimes do not passively heal, they instead rely on feeding.
fix: Slimes can use the buckling screen alert to unbuckle and stop
feeding, along with clicking on the mob they are riding

When I made SSpolling, jlsnow gave me his blessing to delete the orbit
polling component [where you orbit something for 20 seconds before it
chooses a ghost from the orbiters]
It's only used in a few places like soulstones replacing
jobbanned/inactive players, etc.
Also upgraded SSpolling; you can now place a little icon on the sides in
the chat message, chat message looks a lot nicer, the alert pic and the
jump target don't have to be the same anymore, and I made it be able to
pre-pick candidates since 90% of the use cases would just want 1
candidate
Also prints to chat who the chosen one was
Also made slime intelligence potions ask the user for a reason, which
will be displayed in the alert poll

Revived my old PR https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/68901
Replaces the annoying tgui alert popup "Do you want to be X? | Yes | No
| Never for this round" that is hard to read and steals window focus,
with a nice clean alert in the top right that counts down. If it's the
same event/mob they stack with 2x, 3x, etc. It also shows how many
candidates/ghosts are signed up.
The poll alerts have screentips too, they countdown and show if you're
signed up, how many people are signed up, if you chose "never for this
round" (which is cancelable)
## Why It's Good For The Game

Way easier to see what role is available, you get a nice pic of the role
and get it's name in big text, you can cancel "never for this round",
and you can cancel signing up for a role before the timer is up

Makes shades into basic mobs. As they are solely player-controller and
have no AI, this was a very simple conversion.
Things of note:
- I've made shades use the same "theme" system as constructs, to
determine their drops and coloration - as opposed to these things being
manually set by the type of soulstone they're held in.
- I've reorganized files slightly, putting both constructs and shades in
a new "cult" basic mob folder.
That's more or less it. As I said, shades are simple.

## About The Pull Request
Last one! Makes proteons into a basic mob, and completely removes the
simple_animal construct supertype.
Proteons aren't really designed to be played by a player, instead being
a nuisance mapped into various ruins and traps. As such, they don't
really have any special abilities. Instead, the hostile variant has a
somewhat unique behavior. They'll viciously attack anyone who comes
close, but, being frail little cowards, if a proteon takes damage it
will immediately flee. After a random period between 2 and 4 seconds, it
will stop fleeing and come back for more.
In addition to this, a few other things have been done, some only
related because they're in files I touched.
- Moved proteons from the file for the Cleric's Den to their own file in
the basic constructs folder. Given that they're used in several
different ruins, they might as well not just be in the file for one.
- Simple constructs have been cut, and with them the procs for
healing/repairing on shades and cult structures, as those are no longer
needed.
- Because I was touching it anyway, I touched up the file for trap
structures. They no longer use any one-letter variable names, and time
is now universally listed in seconds rather than deciseconds in that
file.
- I removed a completely unused blackboard key from ice demons. This is
something I noticed due to a change I ended up not making while working
on proteon AI, but I figured I might as well leave it gone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills the last three simple construct typepaths, bringing us to the
destined 19 removed. Huzzah!
The proteon AI routine should inject a little spice into fighting
proteons, especially for the unprepared - unlike many mobs, they won't
stand there and take it if you decide to fight back, but you can never
safely ignore them when they run away. They still aren't particularly
dangerous.
## Changelog

refactor: Proteon constructs now use the basic mob framework. The ones
encountered in ruins are a bit flightier now, and will briefly flee
combat if attacked - only so that they can return and menace you again
soon after. Please report any bugs.

## About The Pull Request
Now we can make basic mobs with hands easily so I did, they don't
actually use their hands for anything with AI.
In the future we can come back and share the monkey AI where they pick
up items to hit people with, but frankly few weapons are more deadly
than a gorilla's fists.
IIRC I didn't really change their behaviour much, this is mostly just a
straight conversion. Main difference is that they will prioritise eating
nearby bananas and fruit salads over punching people.
When I make these conversions nowadays I need to decide between "does
this attack at the speed that it did as an NPC mob or the speed it did
as a player?"
I am arbitrarily deciding that gorillas are usually not players and
electing for the former, but tell me if you disagree.
I also made "show basic inhand sprites" into a component shared by
Gorillas, Drones, and Dextrous Guardians (all also now available to
become basic, once I get around to it),
And I added an AI behaviour to run a basic emote. This is similar but
different to "random speech", which kind of sucks and needs rewriting
anyway.
Gorillas don't speak, only ooga.

## About The Pull Request
I kind of hate cult as a whole, but I like these little guys. Let's
basic-ize them.
This PR begins the process with the harbinger of the Red Harvest, the
Harvester! Their actual capabilities have been changed very little,
except that most of their unique properties have been moved to
components and elements. The basic parent type of constructs has also
been set up to make the next bunch of conversions easier.
- Constructs capable of repair now receive the healing hands component.
Healing hands has been extended, to allow the healing particles to come
in custom colors, and to allow it to print the target's health if the
target is not a carbon.
- Repairing constructs also receive a new element: Structure repair is a
lighter-weight variant on healing hands that allows repairing clicked-on
atoms of specified types.
- Constructs capable of damaging walls, meanwhile, receive the wall
smasher element.
Harvesters in specific have two special elements:
- The existing "amputating limbs" element, making them instantly rip a
limb off of any carbon they attack. As before, if they attempt this on a
carbon with no arms or legs, the harvester will hear Nar'Sie's call to
bring the victim to her.
- A new "wall walker" element, allowing them to walk through walls of
specified type (cult walls for harvesters) and allowing them to drag any
atom through as well.
Other than laying the groundwork, there's not much else here. I started
with Harvesters specifically because they are only ever
player-controlled, which makes things easy.
I'm not completely happy with the use of healing hands here - it gets
the job done, but currently loses a bit of the previous flavor (a
healing beam as a visual; printing the target's health in cult span). I
may extend it further to allow this behavior.
I've included an UpdatePaths script, even if these things shouldn't be
mapped, just in case something fucky is going on on a downstream. You
never know.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Constructs, currently, occupy _19_ spots on the simple animal list. This
is something close to 10% of all the remaining ones. Also, like
everything to do with cult, construct code is janky, old, and
desperately in need of updating. This is the first step.

framework. This should have very little impact on their behavior, but

## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
There were more than a few times (like in cinematic code) where we might
need to accurately know the source of what's adding this trait (or have
multiple sources for the whole 'we don't want this mob to do shit while
we transform this mob'), so in order to rectify this potential issue,
let's refactor it into a trait.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Some code already declared that there might be issues with this being a
boolean var (with no way of knowing _why_ we don't want this mob to not
transform (or not do anything idk). Let's remove those comments and any
future doubt in those instances with the trait macros. Also, stuff like
`TRAIT_IMMOBILIZED` which does a similar thing in many contexts was
already a trait that was regularly added in conjunction with flipping
the variable, so we're able to flatten all that stuff into
`add_traits()` and `remove_traits()` now. nice
I also cleaned up quite a bit of code as I saw it, let me know if it
should be split out but I guarantee that if I didn't do it- no one will
for the next two years.

## 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.

Previously Lesser Form would transform you into a monkey with the same

Nobody has complained about this because nobody uses Lesser Form for its

Now when you use Lesser Form it will call you "monkey (420)" or
something instead, so it's less obvious that you're just larping as a

This adds two new dropdown menus for AI preferences with holograms and
status displays. It also sets these preferences if admins transform a
player into an AI.
Just another lightweight PR porting over a simple animal to the basic
mob framework with zero additional AI implementation (it's a killer
tomato- it spawns into the world to maul you. how much more intricate
does it need to be?).
On the tin, doing it like this means we can reduce our overall line
fingerprint whenever we have to add two or more traits from the same
source on the same target. Especially helps when we get to the 4+ range
of traits, a breath of fresh air even.
Doesn't mean we have to do for loops, as that's already handled within
the define as well. I replaced some of the checks with `length()`
checks, let me know if I should switch it over to something else (maybe
`islist()`)? We stack_trace whenever we're not passed a list reference
on purpose, and sometimes var/lists are null by default (or just empty,
making this redundant).
## Why It's Good For The Game
I commonly feel the urge to write "use `AddTraits()`" or something in
reviews, then am sad when I remember it doesn't exist. I will no longer
be sad.
Can ensure a lot more trait safety as well by using static lists- when
both ADD_TRAIT_LIST and REMOVE_TRAIT_LIST re-use the same list, you are
confident (from a static point of view) that everything that you want to
be adding/removing works.
I may have missed a few things where this could be used, but both macros
implemented in this PR still use the same framework that was being used
in the last four years- so stuff won't break if left untouched. Just a
nifty new tool for developers.
also fixed up some code in the area, numerous bugs were found and

if it makes you very vulnerable to being butchered.
Refactoring it into being one action instead of two actions which add
and remove each other fixes the part where the action just disappears.
It reliably sticks between transformations now, regardless of whether or
not they were voluntary.
I also noticed that when I was turning into a monkey it wasn't dropping
the changeling "fake clothes" outfit pieces I had on as a human, leading
to a really fucked up looking monkey. I fixed this by adding `force =
TRUE` in the drop to ground proc in the check for if the equipment you
have is still valid after your species changes. I don't _think_ this has
any side effects but I never do and then someone finds some.
For good measure I also made all of the changeling equipment abilities
which don't work if you are a monkey detect if you become a monkey and
retract themselves.
I also noticed that for a long time Last Resort has been trying and
failing to give you Lesser Form (well, Human Form rather) as a Headcrab,
so I fixed that and now you actually get the ability.
Finally I did a _little_ bit of housekeeping in general on the
changeling actions, mostly balloon alerts. I think these definitely need
more attention than I gave them though. I left a lot of the `to_chat`s
in place because many of them give information you want to be a little
sticky, or refer back to in order to double check what you just did.
I also added a unit test which flips back and forth a few times to
ensure the ability still works.
This required adding an "instant" flag to the monkeyize/humanize procs
to skip the timers, and idenitified a couple of weird issues.
First point: Humanising a monkey would remove the monkey mutation and
then call humanise again, which would not skip itself because it still
regarded you as being a monkey. I changed the order of operations here
slightly so that it will early return.
Second point: Calling `domutcheck` on `human/consistent` would runtime
because we skip the bit which sets up any mutations in their DNA. This
is a part of changeling transformation, so I just made it return
instantly.
## Why It's Good For The Game
You can use this ability again without getting stuck permanently as a
monkey, or it just deleting itself from your list of abilities for no
reason.
Turning into a monkey with fake outfit pieces on won't turn you into an
abomination.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Changeling's Lesser Form is now one ability instead of two
which keep swapping, which should consistently turn you back and forth
without deleting itself from your action bar.
fix: Hatching from an egg left by a Last Resort headcrab should
correctly grant you Lesser Form in addition to your other abilities.
fix: Turning into a monkey while using the Changeling space suit won't
leave you as a monkey with a weird inflated head.
qol: Using lesser form as a monkey with only one stored DNA profile will
skip asking which profile you want and will simply transform you
immediately into the only option.

## About The Pull Request
Wow we're finally here. This turns carp into Basic Mobs instead of
Simple Animals.
They use a variety of behaviours added in previous PRs to act in a
marginally more interesting way than they used to.
But don't worry there's still 2 or 3 PRs to follow this one until I'm
done with space fish.
Changes in this PR:
Carp will try to run away if they get below 50% health, to make use of
their "regenerate if not attacked" component.
Magicarp have different targetting behaviour for spells depending on
their spell;
- Ressurecting Carp will try to ressurect allied mobs.
- Animating Carp will try to animate nearby objects.
- Door-creating Carp will try to turn nearby walls into doors.
You can order Magicarp to cast their spell on something if you happen to
manage to tame one.
The eating element now has support for "getting hurt" when you eat
something. Carp eating can rings and hating it was too soulful not to
continue supporting.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Carp are iconic beasts and I think they should be more interesting.
Also we just want to turn mobs into basic mobs anyway.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Carp will now run away if their health gets low, meaning they may
have a chance to regenerate.
add: Lia will now fight back if attacked instead of letting herself get
killed, watch out!
balance: Magicarp will now aim their spells more intelligently.
add: Tame Magicarp can be ordered to use their spells on things.
refactor: Carp are now "Basic Mobs" instead of "Simple Mobs"
fix: Dehydrated carp no longer give you a bad feeling when they're your
friend and a good feeling when they're going to attack you.
balance: Tamed carp are now friendly only to their tamer rather than
their whole faction, which should make dehydrated carp more active.
Order them to stay or follow you if you want them to behave around your
friends.

About The Pull Request
Made a basic version of the pet base called /mob/living/basic/pet. It's significantly more stripped down from the old simple_animal one, because its half collar stuff and...
Made the collar slot a component that you could theoretically remove from a pet to disable the behavior, or add to any other living mob as long as you set up the icon states for the collar (or not, the visuals are optional).
The corgi's collar strippable slot is now generally the pet collar slot, and in theory could be used for other pet stripping screens.
I also gutted the extra access card code from /mob/living/basic/pet as it's only being used by corgis. Having a physical ID is now just inherent to corgis, as they're the only ones that could equip it anyway.
Ported the make_babies() function from simple_animals to a new subtree and associated behavior, called /datum/ai_planning_subtree/make_babies that uses blackboards to know the animal-specific info.
Note that it's marginally improved, as the female walks to the male first instead of bluespace reproduction.
Tweaked and improved the dog AI to work as a basic mob, including making /datum/idle_behavior/idle_dog fully functional.
Made a /datum/ai_planning_subtree/random_speech/dog that pulls the dynamic speech and emotes to support dog fashion.
I've tested base collars across multiple pet types.
For dogs, I've tested general behavior, fetching, reproduction, dog fashion, and deadchat_plays, covering all the oddities I'm aware of.

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
Converts more inputs to TGUI. Possibly all user-facing input lists in the game.
Did any surrounding text/number inputs as well
Added null choice support so users can press cancel.
Added some misc TGUI input fixes
Fixed custom vendors while I was there
I refactored a lot of code while just poking around.
Primarily, usage of .len in files where I was already working on lists.
Some code was just awful - look at guardian.dm and its non use of early returns
If there are any disputes, I can revert it just fine, those changes are not integral to the PR.
Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes#63629Fixes#63307

I got tired of having to walk new admin candidates through the admin buttons and telling them about all of the antiquated buttons they'd never use, so I'm doing my part and removing a bunch of the transformation bloat from the player panel. Below is the current menu
The only button admins I know ever actually use is the human rudimentary transformation one, and literally nothing else. Judging by how the options are a random choice of some of the station pets, these options probably haven't been updated since like 2012. In addition, the non-rudimentary transformations only work if you're a human, so not sure why they show up for non human player panels.
Here's the new pared down selection, I figured these would be the only useful ones from the bunch. They work no matter what mob the target was previously, whether it be another living mob or a ghost. In addition, I also cut out the transformation equivalents from the VV dropdown, because lord knows that menu keeps getting longer and longer. Lastly, I refactored stuff where possible without getting too trapped in cursed pre-MSO era admincode.
Bring _HELPERS/_lists.dm to latest standards by:
-Adding proper documentation and fixing existing one
-Giving vars proper names
-Procs now use snake case as per standard (many files that use those procs will be affected)
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.
This iteration matches parity, and provides very little new functionality, but adding anything new will be much easier.

There are methods that let players spam the everloving shit out of ghosts with BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG etc. through being able to constantly poll ghosts for roles with no restriction or cooldown.
Examples are laughter and slaughter demon antag_spawners.
It makes no sense to be able to concurrently poll for the same mob. As a result, I've now added a guard against this. The proc has been given a static list of mobs it's polling for ghost roles for. If it's already polling for ghost roles for a given mob, then it just early returns with an empty list, otherwise it adds the mob to the static list when the poll starts and removes it when the poll ends.
I've also done a little cleanup in var names and the proc name, with a find-and-replace done. There weren't many things calling it and none used named keywords in the args so should be fine.
There is also poll_candidates_for_mobs (also included in my cleanup) - This proc is basically only called by admins via sentience balloons and they have their own guards against spamming (the balloon pops and thus can only be used once)
Also fixes an issue in /mob/living/silicon/robot/proc/replace_banned_cyborg() where incorrect args were used in the proc call to poll for candidates.
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)
