## About The Pull Request
Raw Prophet and Armsy had fun stuff going on and merited their own PRs,
but the rest of these guys are basically just statblocks with abilities
so I converted them all at once.
Rust Walkers are present in a ruin and so have new AI which will
actually use their abilities. They rust the area around where they spawn
and throw their rust blast at people.
I also gave Flesh Stalkers AI even though nobody has put them in a map
because I thought it would be cool. This adds an AI behaviour where if
they're not doing anything else they will turn into an animal and chill
until someone's been around them for a bit, before attacking. They will
also use EMP almost immediately upon performing their ambush, which
kills the lights in that room. Spooky!
To support this I needed to make some changes to let AI continue
processing and targetting correctly while shapeshifted.
I didn't give Maids or Ash Spirits AI because they'd be really boring.
Other changes:
I made the maid in the mirror flicker when it takes examine damage
because the `visible_message` says it does but despite having the power,
nobody made it actually flicker...
## Why It's Good For The Game
No more simple mob heretic summons.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Rust Walkers, Ash Spirits, Flesh Stalkers, and The Maid in the
Mirror now use the basic mob framework. Please report any unusual
behaviour.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#71330
The brimdemon was basically already perfect (well, it has a novel means
of attacking) so I didn't get too fancy with this one, it's _largely_
just a straightforward conversion.
Following this change it's a little slower to back off, but better at
lining up with people in order to blast them. Additionally, its beam is
now a mob ability so you can give it to other mobs if you so desire.
Because I can't help doing a _little_ tinkering, Brimdemons now explode
2.5 seconds after they die, after a brief warning animation.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Simple mobs must die
## Changelog
🆑
add: Brimdemon corpses release an explosion shortly after death, just to
keep you on your toes.
refactor: Brimdemons now use the basic mob framework which (should)
improve their pathfinding somewhat. Please bug report any unusual
behaviour.
admin: The brimdemon's beam ability can be given to any mob, for your
Binding of Isaac event

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#72677 and also converted the "Wumborian Fugu" mob to a basic mob
rather than a simple one.
I will be totally honest: I didn't need to do that in order to fix the
bug. I just didn't like looking at the rest of the code in that file.
Also I have some kind of sickness which makes me do this.
This ended up being one of those "see something related and fix it as
well" ones so there's a couple of only tangentially related changes in
here. If you want me to split it up I will but I think this one is
_probably_ fine because the wide-ranging changes are pretty simple ones?
So what this PR does is:
- Refactors simple mob into basic mob.
- Cleans up its really ugly ability to work in a hopefully nicer way.
- A one line fix to the linked issue above.
- Modifies the default cooldown on `basic_melee_attack` and
`attack_obstructions` to be a widely used cooldown rather than a random
value used by no mob that we have.
- Renamed behaviour "try_mob_ability" to "targeted_mob_ability" and
added a new AI behaviour called "use_mob_ability", the difference
between the two being that the former requires a target and the latter
does not. I... don't actually use this because I realised after adding
it that I still want a target for this mob, but someone will need it
eventually.
- Change everywhere that is passing references to abilities to actions
to pass weak references instead.
- Adds an element to handle "spawn this stuff when a related mob dies".
- Found a few places where people were setting `environment_smash ` as
if it did anything (including me) and replaced them with the proper
ai_controller implementation instead, updated the comment to make it
clearer although that won't prevent copy/paste errors.
- Registered to the "movement speed updated" signal to ensure that basic
mobs actually notice that you have applied a movement speed modifier.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes a linked issue.
Refactors some code which made me sad whenever I saw it.
Restores some mob behaviour which nobody noticed was missing, but was.
Fixes some apparently unreliable code I added in a recent PR reliant on
basic mobs using movespeed modifiers.
Adds element we will definitely need again in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: The Fugu Gland can once more be used on Ian, Carp, Giant Spiders,
or other basic mobs.
fix: Syndicate mobs will once again attack windows to try to reach you,
and space ruin spiders won't.
fix: Netherworld-themed mobs will correctly adjust their speed as they
take damage.
refactor: Made the Wumborian Fugu into a basic mob, which should act
largely the same way but may have slightly different speed and reaction
times.

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.

* Cow AI improvevments and fixes for tamability and riding, no longer allowing you to grab the cow you're riding, and stopping AI cows from moving while being ridden.
Simple_animals / mobs are the biggest lie in this code-base. They're far from simple and have an extreme god-object problem. Especially when you get to /hostile, where there is so many procs, vars, and what not, that you can't make any interesting additions without snowflaking the hell out of the code.
This PR hopes to help kill this problem by introducing a new /living subtype, /living/basic. The idea of this refactor is to slowly start moving all old simple_animals to this new system, moving over behaviors like charging and more extravagant mobs like megafauna over bit by bit similar to how newfood was implemented.
One of the other big goals of this refactor is to move many of the fringe simple animal behaviors into either AI datums, or components/elements. (Some of which still needs to be done in this PR).
As a proof of concept, I created the base mob/living/basic, and moved cockroaches over to the system. Since cockroaches have both a passive, melee and ranged mob.
This PR does slightly affect balance as the behavior isn't 1-on-1 due to it no longer running on the janky /hostile behavior, but I tried to keep the effects to a minimum, and the glockroach and hauberoach are not spawnable through many means as far as I know.
