Readds the changeling hivemind, but in a simplified form.
There is no linglinking. It was rarely used and imma be real with you, stupid.
Hivemind isn't an unlocked ability, it is just a default.
Bz still mutes lings
Fallen changelings now get an agonizing message about being locked out. We love fallen changeling flavor
Changelings have their Honorific names back! Hello, Mr. Omnicron!
This does NOT readd changeling team objectives, or really anything encouraging teaming beyond the hivemind itself.
I think antagonists have generally lost a lot of power versus the station, and this is one big way to pump up the heat for this antag in particular. Changelings, given an ability to possibly team up, are much MUCH scarier.
One reason it was removed years ago was because teaming was too often, but back then there were entire gamemodes about changelings having team objectives and many other things to encourage it. I'm bringing us back to a point BEFORE all those design ideas were explored, because I don't think they worked out.
Add information about the changeling hivemind, and the dangers of being turned into a fallen changeling if you get betrayed to the Changeling Antag Info UI
Changelog
add: Changelings once again have reestablished their changeling hivemind, and can secretly communicate between each other.
fix: Fixed up the Changeling UI a bit, like for example some dimmers would never render.

Fixes#68139 assemblies triggering themselves (and often turning themselves off).
Fixes timers ceasing to loop if the timer is set to less than the 3-second anti-spam threshold.
#69335, #68733 signalers occasionally runtiming due to qdel'd weak reference datums. Already addressed by another PR
Proximity sensors and mousetraps work on more wire datums, but proximity sensors are still buggy.
Igniter-sensor pairs can detonate fuel tanks properly, including plumbed fuel tanks. Fuel tank explosions scale with how much fuel is in them; this is slightly nerfed from existing values.
The fuel tank detonation code has been made generic, but other reagent dispensers have rigging turned off. If turned on with a varedit, you can rig and detonate water and other reagent tanks. Reagent tanks can theoretically both explode and spread reagents if it should happen to contain both welding fuel and other stuff. I have not actually tested this part of it, but I have detonated both water tanks and fuel tanks and each works correctly.
In making mousetraps work on wire datums, I had the opportunity to make it so that you could place a mousetrap in a door's wire and it would activate when someone passed through the door (useful to bolt a door open when someone authorized goes through, for example). This is a fun mechanic but does not make sense for a simple mousetrap to be so powerful, so it is disabled. Ideally, you could put the laser tripwire in a door's wires to do the same thing, but that would be a massive rework. Mousetraps still work in on-found mode for all wire datums, and will work on items with wiring datums (like C4 and chem bombs) when stepped on.
The signaler runtimes were a result of weak_ref datums being deleted, and the communications system not handling that. It's probably not ideal to run null checks in the post_signal loop, but I am not going to worry about it.
Many of the assemblies were not properly registering when the assembly holder was attached to an item. This was most important for proximity sensors, but that also has other problems that I haven't been able to track down.
The problem with UI not appearing was a result of the transition to TGUI however long ago that was; the proc that assures TGUI that you have the right item needed to be aware of one-tank bombs and similar, or else when you pass along an interact request it says "but you can't see it" and ignores you.
Why It's Good For The Game
Bugfixen.
The thing with the reagent dispensers only got this complicated when I realized that the plumbed fuel tank variant wasn't a subtype and therefore couldn't be rigged. And then... I basically just scaled it because the flat scale no matter the contents of the tank offended me. You could wrench open tanks, drain them entirely of fuel, rig them, and they would still go off like a pile of dynamite.
I used to have code in my branch that turned chem bombs into variants depending on the trigger, with mousetraps being mines for example. That's honestly the main reason I went out of my way to make mousetraps work better as assemblies. I could wish it were better supported, but mousetraps on grenade wiring will have to do for now.

About The Pull Request
I've reworked multiz. This was done because our current implementation of multiz flattens planes down into just the openspace plane. This breaks any effects we attach to plane masters (including lighting), but it also totally kills the SIDE_MAP map format, which we NEED for wallening (A major 3/4ths resprite of all wall and wall adjacent things, making them more then one tile high. Without sidemap we would be unable to display things both in from of and behind objects on map. Stupid.)
This required MASSIVE changes. Both to all uses of the plane var for reasons I'll discuss later, and to a ton of different systems that interact with rendering.
I'll do my best to keep this compact, but there's only so much I can do. Sorry brother.
Core idea
OK: first thing.
vis_contents as it works now squishes the planes of everything inside it down into the plane of the vis_loc.
This is bad. But how to do better?
It's trivially easy to make copies of our existing plane masters but offset, and relay them to the bottom of the plane above. Not a problem. The issue is how to get the actual atoms on the map to "land" on them properly.
We could use FLOAT_PLANE to offset planes based off how they're being seen, in theory this would allow us to create lens for how objects are viewed.
But that's not a stable thing to do, because properly "landing" a plane on a desired plane master would require taking into account every bit of how it's being seen, would inherently break this effect.
Ok so we need to manually edit planes based off "z layer" (IE: what layer of a z stack are you on).
That's the key conceit of this pr. Implementing the plane cube, and ensuring planes are always offset properly.
Everything else is just gravy.
About the Plane Cube
Each plane master (except ones that opt out) is copied down by some constant value equal to the max absolute change between the first and the last plane.
We do this based off the max z stack size detected by SSmapping. This is also where updates come from, and where all our updating logic will live.
As mentioned, plane masters can choose to opt out of being mirrored down. In this case, anything that interacts with them assuming that they'll be offset will instead just get back the valid plane value. This works for render targets too, since I had to work them into the system as well.
Plane masters can also be temporarily hidden from the client's screen. This is done as an attempt at optimization, and applies to anything used in niche cases, or planes only used if there's a z layer below you.
About Plane Master Groups
BYOND supports having different "maps" on screen at once (IE: groups of items/turfs/etc)
Plane masters cannot cover 2 maps at once, since their location is determined by their screen_loc.
So we need to maintain a mirror of each plane for every map we have open.
This was quite messy, so I've refactored it (and maps too) to be a bit more modular.
Rather then storing a list of plane masters, we store a list of plane master group datums.
Each datum is in charge of the plane masters for its particular map, both creating them, and managing them.
Like I mentioned, I also refactored map views. Adding a new mapview is now as simple as newing a /atom/movable/screen/map_view, calling generate_view with the appropriate map id, setting things you want to display in its vis_contents, and then calling display_to on it, passing in the mob to show ourselves to.
Much better then the hardcoded pattern we used to use. So much duplicated code man.
Oh and plane master controllers, that system we have that allows for applying filters to sets of plane masters? I've made it use lookups on plane master groups now, rather then hanging references to all impacted planes. This makes logic easier, and prevents the need to manage references and update the controllers.
image
In addition, I've added a debug ui for plane masters.
It allows you to view all of your own plane masters and short descriptions of what they do, alongside tools for editing them and their relays.
It ALSO supports editing someone elses plane masters, AND it supports (in a very fragile and incomplete manner) viewing literally through someone else's eyes, including their plane masters. This is very useful, because it means you can debug "hey my X is yorked" issues yourself, on live.
In order to accomplish this I have needed to add setters for an ungodly amount of visual impacting vars. Sight flags, eye, see_invis, see_in_dark, etc.
It also comes with an info dump about the ui, and plane masters/relays in general.
Sort of on that note. I've documented everything I know that's niche/useful about our visual effects and rendering system. My hope is this will serve to bring people up to speed on what can be done more quickly, alongside making my sin here less horrible.
See https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/tgstation/blob/multiz-hell/.github/guides/VISUALS.md.
"Landing" planes
Ok so I've explained the backend, but how do we actually land planes properly?
Most of the time this is really simple. When a plane var is set, we need to provide some spokesperson for the appearance's z level. We can use this to derive their z layer, and thus what offset to use.
This is just a lot of gruntwork, but it's occasionally more complex.
Sometimes we need to cache a list of z layer -> effect, and then use that.
Also a LOT of updating on z move. So much z move shit.
Oh. and in order to make byond darkness work properly, I needed to add SEE_BLACKNESS to all sight flags.
This draws darkness to plane 0, which means I'm able to relay it around and draw it on different z layers as is possible. fun darkness ripple effects incoming someday
I also need to update mob overlays on move.
I do this by realiizing their appearances, mutating their plane, and then readding the overlay in the correct order.
The cost of this is currently 3N. I'm convinced this could be improved, but I've not got to it yet.
It can also occasionally cause overlays to corrupt. This is fixed by laying a protective ward of overlays.Copy in the sand, but that spell makes the compiler confused, so I'll have to bully lummy about fixing it at some point.
Behavior changes
We've had to give up on the already broken gateway "see through" effect. Won't work without managing gateway plane masters or something stupid. Not worth it.
So instead we display the other side as a ui element. It's worse, but not that bad.
Because vis_contents no longer flattens planes (most of the time), some uses of it now have interesting behavior.
The main thing that comes to mind is alert popups that display mobs. They can impact the lighting plane.
I don't really care, but it should be fixable, I think, given elbow grease.
Ah and I've cleaned up layers and plane defines to make them a bit easier to read/reason about, at least I think.

About The Pull Request
Micros lighting objects, and their creation
We save a good bit of time by not walking space turfs adjacent to new objects.
We also save some time with micros in the actual underlay update logic.
I swear dude we spend like 0.8 seconds of init applying the underlay. I want threaded maptick already
Micros lighting sources, and corner creation
A: Corners were being passed just A turf, and then expected to generatecorners based on that. This is pointless.
It is better to instead pass in the coords of the bottom left turf, and then build in a circle. This saves like 0.3 seconds
B: We use so many damn datum vars in corner application that we just do not need to.
This resolves that, since it pissed me off. It's pointless. Lets cache em instead
There's some misc datum var caching going on here too. Lemme see...
Oh and a bit of shortcutting for a for loop, since it was a tad expensive on its own.
Also I removed the turfs list, because it does fucking nothing. Why is this still here.
All my little optimizations save about 1 second of init I think
Not great, but not bad, and plus actual lighting work is faster now too
Why It's Good For The Game
Speed
* Removes overlay queuing, saves 6/7 seconds of initialize. Lightly modifies stat tracking macros
So we have this overlay queuing system right? It's build with the assumption
that the "add to overlay list" operation is real expensive, and is
thus useful to queue removals or additions.
It turns out that it just isn't, at least during init. In my testing the
operation of queuing took LONGER then the actual overlay add/remove did.
That's ignoring the cost of the subsystem's work.
I've also modified part of the stat tracking macro, since it took a good
bit of cpu time, and didn't seem to well, do anything. So far as I can
tell it always evaluates to 1
* So, this moves the "candidate" selection into round_event_control and integrates it into part of canspawnevent. The actual selection is part of a new proc, generate_candidates, which was created so that canspawnevent() and admin_setup() (WHICH OVERRIDES CANSPAWNEVENT AND THEREFORE CANDIDATE GENERATION) don't have to share any code.
The heart attack candidates list is passed down from the event control to the round event. This is used for running a second series of checks via attack_heart(), a new proc on the round event.
The heart attack now fires on every tick, until "attacks_left" reaches zero, which is a value inhereted from the round event control (default 1, modifiable in admin setup).
In attack_heart, the victim pick_weight-ed from the victims (formerly candidates) and is checked to see if they'll be spared from their fate for some special reason. This is so that feedback can be given and smugness can be felt over surviving a heart attack. This check was literally the only thing I wanted to implement in this PR and I ended up rewriting most of the entire thing. Wowee.
* Fix tongue tied communication being restricted with hand objects and adds support for people with more than 2 hands.
* Makes zombie claws 'hand objects'.
Adds a seethrough component!
Standing behind a big object with this component will make the object transparent:
https://youtu.be/nnyWMJakVtE
And no one else can see it:
And yes you can click through it thanks to the power of plane masters!
Standing behind a tree is a pretty big meme and people will have to either shift right click or bump into you to ever find you. This makes it so much better to implement big objects, since they no longer obscure the tiles behind them
It's also useful for existing big objects, like billboards and the likes
🆑
qol: You can now see through big trees when you stand behind them!
refactor: Adds a seethrough component to make it easier to add big stationairy objects without reducing visibility
/🆑
Info
This is done by sending an override overlay to the user that obscures the normal object and plays an animation.
It registers an ENTERED signal on specific turfs. Those tiles in which it hides stuff is defined as a list of list coordinates, for which I made a global list with some defines. It's really crappy and I'd appreciate some feedback on that
* Adds the installed message phrase for voice analyzers to logging
Hey there,
Sometimes, it's CBT to figure out what exactly made a bomb go off, especially when a voice analyzer is involved. Now, when a voice analyzer is involved in TTV Bomb/Grenade explosions (already logged), it will also output the recorded phrase when present.
To do this, I just span up a quick `isvoice()` macro define to ensure that we would get the variable, and it would just append the message that we were already spitting out into logs. I rewrote how grenade logs currently operate a bit, let me know if I accidentally omitted something critical.
* 'optimizes' space transitions by like 0.06 seconds, makes them easier to read tho, so that's an upside
* ''''optimizes'''' parsed map loading
I'm honestly not sure how big a difference this makes, looked like small
percentage points if anything
It's a bit more internally concistent at least, which is nice. Also I
understand the system now.
I'd like to think it helped but I think this is kinda a "do you think
it's easier to read" sort of situation. if it did help it was by the
skin of its teeth
* Saves 0.6 seconds off loading meta and lavaland's map files
This is just a lot of micro stuff.
1: Bound checks don't need to be inside for loops, we can instead bound the iteration counts
2: TGM and DMM are parsed differently. in dmm a grid_set is one z level,
in tgm it's one collumn. Realizing this allows you to skip copytexts and
other such silly in the tgm implemenentation, saving a good bit of time
3: Min/max bounds do not need to be checked inside for loops, and can
instead be handled outside of them, because we know the order of x
and y iteration. This saves 0.2 seconds
I may or may not have made the code harder to read, if so let me know
and I'll check it over.
* Micro ops key caching significantly. Fixes macros bug
inserting \ into a dmm with no valid target would just less then loop
the string. Dumb
Anyway, optimizations. I save a LOT of time by not needing to call
find_next_delimiter_position for every entry and var set. (like maybe 0.5
seconds, not totally sure)
I save this by using splittext, which is significantly faster. this
would cause parsing issues if you could embed \n into dmms, but you
can't, so I'm safe.
Lemme see uh, lots of little things, stuff that's suboptimal or could be
done cheaper. Some "hey you and I both know a \" is 2 chars long sort of
stuff
I removed trim_text because the quote trimming was never actually used,
and the space trimming was slower then using the code in trim. I also
micro'd trim to save a bit of time. this saves another maybe 0.5.
Few other things, I think that's the main of it. Gives me the fuzzy
feelings
* Saves 50% of build_coordinate's time
Micro optimizing go brrrrr
I made turf_blacklist an assoc list rather then just a normal one, so
lookups are O(log n) instead of O(n). Also it's faster for the base case
of loading mostly space.
Instead of toggling the map loader right before and right after New()
calls, we toggle at the start of mapload, and disable then reenable if
we check tick. This saves like 0.3 seconds
Rather then tracking an area cache ourselves, and needing to pass it
around, we use a locally static list to reference the global list of
area -> type. This is much faster, if slightly fragile.
Rather then checking for a null turf at every line, we do it at the
start of the proc and not after. Faster this way, tho it can in theory
drop area vvs.
Avoids calling world.preloader_setup unless we actually have a unique
set of attributes. We use another static list to make this comparison
cheap. This saves another 0.3
Rather then checking for area paths in the turf logic, or vis versa, we
assume we are creating the type implied by the index we're reading off.
So only the last type entry will be loaded like a turf, etc.
This is slightly unsafe but saves a good bit of time, and will properly
error on fucked maps.
Also, rather then using a datum to hold preloader vars, we use 2 global
variables. This is faster.
This marks the end of my optimizations for direct maploading. I've
reduced the cost of loading a map by more then 50% now. Get owned.
* Adds a define for maploading tick check
* makes shuttles load again, removes some of the hard limits I had on the reader for profiling
* Macro ops cave generation
Cave generation was insanely more expensive then it had any right to be.
Maybe 0.5 seconds was saved off not doing a range(12) for EVERY SPAWNED
MOB.
0.14 was saved off using expanded weighted lists (A new idea of mine)
This is useful because I can take a weighted list, and condense it into
weight * path count. This is more memory heavy, and costs more to
create, but is so much faster then the proc.
I also added a naive implementation of gcd to make this a bit less bad.
It's not great, but it'll do for this usecase.
Oh and I changed some ChangeTurfs into New()s. I'm still not entirely
sure what the core difference between the two is, but it seems to work
fine.
I believe it's safe because the turf below us hasn't init'd yet, there's
nothing to take from them. It's like 3 seconds faster too so I'll be sad
when it turns out I'm being dumb
* Micros river spawning
This uses the same sort of concepts as the last change, mostly New being
preferable to ChangeTurf at this level of code.
This bit isn't nearly as detailed as the last few, I honestly got a bit
tired. It's still like 0.4 seconds saved tho
* Micros ruin loading
Turns out it saves time if you don't check area type for every tile on a
ruin. Not a whole ton faster, like 0.03, but faster.
Saves even more time (0.1) to not iterate all your ruin's turfs 3 times
to clear away lavaland mobs, when you're IN SPACE who wrote this.
Oh it also saves time to only pull your turf list once, rather then 3
times

* Verbose Vote Initiation Feedback Tooltippery
Hey there,
So basically, the old implementation had it such that when a vote was disabled and you tried to trigger it, you could get a very nice message in your chat explaining why you could not trigger that vote in that moment. HOWEVER, there's a current fatal flaw in this logic:
You can't ever get that to_chat reason as to _why_ this vote is disabled since you can't click the button. I don't know if this ever worked, which is sad, because we had a lot of these nice messages that one would never see. So, let's leverage the power of TGUI and add messages.
The messages are applied per-datum singleton, and are a generic explanation of what the vote does when there is no specific reason assigned to it when the can_be_initiated() proc runs. If it can not be initiated, we change the message to reflect exactly why the player can not initiate the vote. It ends up looking something like this:
In order for this to work well for the restart vote and to lessen the amount of copy-pasting I might have to do, I created a new proc that checks to see if a valid admin is online, and uses that for both updating the message and restarting the server if the vote clears.

Alphabetized several long lists of strings so its easier for us to look through them, just code polish, nothing the players would see.
Fixed some minor spelling errors as well.
Clarified door bolt state to be less ambiguous in the door wiring gui.
Originally it would say the door bolts have fallen, and the door bolts "Look up". i dont know about you but that was very not clear for me to read. Like where are the bolts? In the door or the frame? Arnt there bolts on top and bottom? Just didn't make sense to me.
Now it says "Have engaged!" & "Have disengaged"
hopefully that makes the state clearer at a glance.
I also added a small handful of funny texts to some string files. See changelog

* Engines now weakref their attached ship, and disconnect when unwrenched from it.
* Removes check for force when deleting a mobile docking port, being deleted should still clear your stuff, regardless of being forced.
Because of all the above, I was able to remove a few pointless checks scattered around, like engine's alter_engine_power()
* better comment for port_id
* Fixes Cargo, Arrivals, and Pirate ships.
* Merge branch 'master' into shuttlecode-oh-no
* last few
* fixes the CI
* fixes
* Fixes infinite engines
* Revert "Merge branch 'master' into shuttlecode-oh-no"
This reverts commit 94eba37de9fe3f4a01dc40bb064771b764f379e3.
* trammies
* whiteship tram
* Makes use of ?. instead
apparently this is what weakrefs use, so 🤷

* Optimizes away /obj/Initialize
We were spending like 0.15 seconds just checking for blueprints, obj
flags and network ids
All these things can just be applied where they're wanted, saves time
Oh and I replaced object flags with an emag injector. I'll give it a
sprite and name later I promise
* Requires a GenerateTag() call to set DF_USE_TAG, rather then doing a check in atom New
This is technically harder to use, but I don't really want people using
tags, and it saves 0.15 seconds
* Moves generatetag to /datum
* I am dumb
* Saves 0.5 seconds, makes init emissive blockers actually work
Ok so background. If an overlay is added with add_overlay, and not
"managed" somehow, it will effectively never be removed, because
nothing's tracking it.
Update_overlays uses the managed_overlays list/var (one of those) to do
this.
I'm gonna piggyback off this to make emissive overlays actually like,
respect overlay updates.
Oh and uh, I've saved maybe 0.5 seconds by caching the new emissive, and
not using add_overlay. There's a chance this will lead to overlay
corruption, but since we never readd the flattened, I think we'll be
safe
* Fixes plane not being set right, changes color logic too, since alpha will override past color sets
* Makes it actually work. also makes rand posters update appearance to clear away the overlay, since it shows on right click and looks bad
* Fixes blockers showing as emissives. It turns out alpha sets override the color list we use. Not sure why we pretend to support them
* Makes the injector support traits, adds an amazing sprite
* Rocking The Boat, er, Map Vote
Hey there,
A while ago, I spooke (typo intentional) to some other people. One frustration I heard was the fact that people would sometimes sneak through map votes during the very start of a shift, during a high-paced portion, or just as a meme. People in OOC would then flood the vote, putting in any given station. However, if a vote happens 10 minutes in- and the round goes for 70 minutes and not many of the original players are around, then it's not particularly fair to those who have to play next shift on a map they bemoan.
So, we can rock the vote! If a player isn't particularly chuffed with the hand they are given, they can poll the players to see if they want to change the map as well. If rocking the vote goes through, huzzah, you get the ability to vote for the map again. If it doesn't go through: tough luck. You can rock the vote one time per shift by default, and server operators can change the amount of times you can call to rock the map vote at their discretion. Calling to rock the vote either successfully or non-successfully counts as a "call", and when that limit is exceeded: no more calls.
Does this mean that we will only rotate between two maps because pissants will keep rocking the vote until they get what they like? Maybe? I still see people bemoan getting Tram or shit the bed over IceBox, but I think enough people get sick of bread-on-butter to take the server where it need to go. If operators don't really like seeing only two maps play, they can always adjust the config to ensure it doesn't happen.
* makes the grammar grammar
it would be "Rock the Vote vote" otherwise
