About The Pull Request
A zombie rotten tongue has a complex language modifier.
The language modifier works by:
All occurrences of characters "eiou" (case-insensitive) are replaced with "r".
All characters other than "zhrgbmna .!?-" (case-insensitive) are stripped.
Multiple spaces are replaced with a single.
Lower-case "r" at the end of words replaced with "rh".
An "a" or "A" by itself will be replaced with "hra".
The first character is capitalised.
Some interesting dialogue examples:
Bab, am gaa habbah abah zah namrh ah Bh!rh!b?
Bob, are you happy about the death of Philip?
Zah bang bang man ganna harm mah zambah?
Will the Zombie Hunter attack me?
Mah zambah nah harm brazzarz.
I do not hurt brothers.
Mah zambah ganna gangbang harmanz zammarrar.
I will kill humans tomorrow.
Mah zambah am nah habbah, an mah zambah gab, -Graaaagh!-
I am not happy, and I say "Graaaagh!"
The language idea was taken from a zombie game back in 2005 called Urban Dead. It's no longer developed and I made all the code myself while following the given language rule structures.

About The Pull Request
Every single part of maintenance has been segmented into modules with multiple variants with different themes. As it stands, there are currently 80 modular parts that come together to form the entire maintenance layout for both levels. Part 1 of a 2 part PR set, requires #69486 to have full effect.
Why It's Good For The Game
Maintenance as it stands is a bit barren, not much reason to explore it with boring same-same rooms despite current randomized modules. With these issues in mind, I completely scrapped maintenance as it was and rebuilt it in mind with full modular segments with proper documentation on what each piece is and where it is located. These changes were also designed to make maintenance more friendly for our dark-dwelling antags and xenos alike, as each major module now has an air vent and scrubber.
Fixes#68320
Main Event:
Every single part of maintenance was turned into module chunks. Sections of the map that originally had maintenance was traced out with checkered flooring so mappers can still see the general layout of the tunnels when making larger edits.
Every module has been documented with proper nodes with descriptions of where each module is located on the map.
Each main module has a regular variant and an abandoned variant. Abandoned variants have blocked access routes and look more like unfinished carved out tunnels than regular maintenance.
Each module has 2 attachment points barring 2. Each attachment has 3 potential layouts that are chosen each round. A storage room with construction supplies one round might be a carved out room with minerals the next.
QoL/General Fixes:
Maintenance should have much more xeno/antag spawns to give various mid-round antags better chances at starting.
Camera network has been given a once-over with duplicate/floating cameras fixed.
The helpful bots in the lower tunnel should now actually do full rotations instead of whatever the hell they were doing before.
I still need to do some testing with disposals and final touch ups to make sure there aren't any weird overlaps, but as of right now the actual mapping quality is ready for review.
About The Pull Request
Adds 26 new names for mimes that can be found by randomizing your name in the character editor.
Why It's Good For The Game
There's currently 5 times as many random clown names as there are random mime names (124 to 24, specifically). This PR helps close the gap, which adds variety to the names of mime players, whether they're hardcore random or their player just couldn't think of a name.
About The Pull Request
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
Why It's Good For The Game
Well, who doesn't like a bit of polish? Just makes the game a little easier for people.
Also funny text funny text.

This PR re-arranges the service departments in a way that pushes the bar/kitchen upfront and center with Hydroponics and the less important rooms taking a backstage on the lower floor.
The kitchen and bar should be front-and-center attraction for easy access and crew interaction. The fact something like aux storage was more easily accessible/visible than the bar was a weird choice ultimately. Hydroponics is still a department that gets visited by other crew, so ideally their presence on the lower floor will still suffice for giving active reason to see traffic on the lower floor.
Main Changes:
The bar is now a centralized layout that sits in front of the kitchen segment, giving a combined department area that both the chef and bartender control.
The gambling/card game tables have been moved to the side to their own 'skill game' room with dimmed lighting.
The theatre now has a more proper main stage that is easily seen from the new area entrance.
Hydroponics, custodial closet, law/courtroom and tool storages were moved downstairs as they aren't as active but still allow quick access via direct stair access from the central dock.
The surrounding maintenance was re-arranged a bit to accommodate these changes with some modular maintenance changes/removal (mainly the weird additional cave between cargo/service).
To help associate product movement between the chef and botanists now that they're on different floors, the smart fridge now has a dumbwaiter that both departments can call up/down to their room to access. Adequate protection has been added to prevent people from somehow accidentally getting crushed by said new dumbwaiter.
The service lathe has been moved downstairs with a general access room between the barman's storage room and the freezer.
The kitchen freezer is now a snow-filled room that is actually colder than the normal rooms, but not cold enough to be uninhabitable.
The one-way access helpers on sensitive maintenance doors like power hatches have been removed.
* The Quartermaster is officially a head of staff, with new accesses, a silver ID, ect ect.
* The HoP lost their cargo-related equipment and access, including the Vault monitor, and frequency.

Depending on the mob's sanity level, it can have a positive or negative boost to healing effects while sleeping. Sleeping in darkness, wearing a blindfold, and using earmuffs also counts as a healing bonus. Beauty sleep is very important for 2D spessmen.
Why It's Good For The Game
This is a small gameplay change that rewards players for keeping their sanity at good levels. Also depression has also been linked with impeding wound healing in real life. The placebo effect on peoples minds is strenuously documented and I think it would be cool to see it in the game.

* Refactors tcg code a bit. Adds support for "keywords"
Idea is to allow card makers to embed tooltips in their card
descriptions.
These tooltips are defined in the keywords.json file
They can be referenced using {$keyword_name}
I've also done some refactoring to move more logic and state onto the
subsystem, and implemented a few keywords from the wiki
* New keywords, applies the old ones to the second card set
* Adds support for embedding react components in tgui chat
This is done by adding the data-component attribute to an html element
The value of that attibute is the component you want to use.
New components can be added by modifying the TGUI_CHAT_COMPONENTS list
in tgui-panel/chat/renderer.js.
Props can also be passed in in a limited capacity.
Any props you wish to pass must be added to
TGUI_CHAT_ATTRIBUTES_TO_PROPS.
This is due to a style restriction of html attributes, they cannot
contain an upper case char.
Use this list to convert between attibute compatible text and the prop's
name.
Props support 3 datatypes.
true and false can be passed by wrapping them in ""s. (Note to self add
a special char here to prevent colison with people just passing the
string true.
Numbers are supported in a limited capacity. Whitespace is not allowed,
but floats and ints are fair game.
And of course, strings are fully supported.
I've currently added support for Tooltip, since that's what I'm using
this for. Also added some tooltip html styles to the chat css.
* Implements the embedded component system to make tcg cards have nice pretty tooltips so people don't need to have the wiki open on one screen
* Adds documentation for embedding tgui components in chat, adds some protection against accidentially sending true as a bool
* Adds italitcs to the tooltips, moves the span stuff to a macro

About The Pull Request
This PR seeks to revamp heretic in it's almost entirety.
Closes#58435Closes#62114Closes#63605
image
Gameplay changes:
The heretic no longer starts with a Codex Cicatrix or a Living Heart.
Heretics now draw transmutation runes by using any writing tool while having Mansus Grasp active.
The Mansus Grasp can be used to remove heretic runes.
Draining influences can be done with "right click".
While draining, people who examine you may get a message hinting that you're interacting with an influence.
Drained influences can also be dispersed with anomaly neutralizers!
The Codex Cicatrix is now a researchable item that lets you gain additional knowledge from influences.
The Codex can still draw and remove runes, and does it faster.
The Living Heart is now the heretic's heart. Literally. It's the heart in their chest. Their heart takes on the appearance of a living heart, and they can pulse it on demand to track their targets. This makes an audible noise.
If your heart is lost (you're disemboweled or whatever), you need to do a ritual to regain it!
Casting any heretic spell (besides Grasp) requires a Focus.
A Heretic Focus is a neck item they can transmute.
Heretic robes also function as a focus when toggled up.
Ascending also disables the need for a focus, because of course.
Heretics now gain 1 knowledge point passively every 20 minutes.
Sacrificing has been revamped entirely.
A heretic now gains four sacrifice targets on spawn.
One random crewmember
One member of their department
One member of security
One member of command (a "high value" sacrifice)
You can sacrifice people who are in in soft-crit, hard-crit, or dead.
Sacrificing someone will cuff them (if they are not), HEAL them, revive them, and set them unconscious. After a short time. they will be sent to a shadow realm. This shadow realm is themed to your heretic type.
The shadow realm is a 2 minute long survival challenge where the sacrificee is subject to a constant barrage of shadowy hands.
If they survive, they are teleported back to a random turf with no memory of how they got there. They'll also slur a TON to get the point across.
If they die, their corpse is teleported back to a random turf on the station.
No more multi-hearting! Your targets are your own.
BUT adds a knowledge that allows heretics to reroll their sacrifice targets with a ritual.
Each path now has a "Rituals of Knowledge". These are randomly generated rituals that may be difficult to complete but awards knowledge points in return.
Ascending now has some requirements.
To learn the ascension ritual, you need to complete all of the objective you are assigned.
The ascension ritual now each have a varied requirement, instead of "needing 3 bodies" only.
Other minor gameplay changes:
Lots of balance tweaking.
Buffed some summons.
Buffed the Lord of the Night very slightly.
Nerfed the Madness Mask.
Put a limit on the amount of blade transmutations possible at once. 3 for flesh, 2 for other paths.
Logs of BUG fixing.
Rust Grasp is now based on right click for surfaces instead of combat mode.
General grammar and flavor tweaks a ll around.
Admin / code changes:
Revamped the way heretics appear within the traitor panel.
You can now easily see who they're targeting for sacrifice and what they have researched
Also adds some helpful buttons to heretics, like giving them points!
Refactored much, much of heretic code
LIKE ALL OF HERETIC CODE WAS IN 4 FILES.
Split up all the knowledge, spells, and items that belong to the heretic into their own files and folders.
Not only that, but everything internally was still named "Eldritch Cultist" and similar.
Almost every mention of "Eldritch Cultist" has been properly replaced by "Heretic".
Much better reference handling all around.
General code improvements over heretic stuff.
Unit tests, because of course.
Todo
Sprites for the focus
Look at adding 1-2 other objectives prior to ascension. Theft? Special rituals? ("Rust [x] tiles to be able to ascend")
Why It's Good For The Game
Okay but why?
Heretics are not in a good place at the moment, this much is clear. They've been completely disabled on MRP for this reason.
The reasoning is simple: A lot of murder.
There's nothing inherently wrong with an antagonist heavy with murder, but the Heretic really missed the mark.
Gib, gib, gib, then ascend so you can keep killing.
In the background, the Heretic was FULL of flavorful spells, rituals, and "lore" stolen from Cultist Simulator that was unfortunate enough to be shackled to the heretic's gameplay loop.
So, this revamp aims to amend that:
Dial back the heretic's focus on mass murder and put more focus on the heretic's interesting flavor.
Spooky maintenance rituals, knowledge seeking maniac.
Sacrifice no longer outright kills / requires murder, meaning a heretic can progress without racking up a bodycount.
Influence is gained passively over time, so they can spend influence on more interesting side paths.
Side paths are required to progress to ascension, so they're encouraged to explore new things.
Ultimately, while there still may be a little way to go, this PR seeks to take a good leap in starting it.
Changelog
cl Melbert
add: Large scale heretic revamp!
expansion: The Codex Cicatrix is no longer a roundstart heretic item. Research is handled through their antag info UI. Rune drawing is done by using a writing tool with Mansus Grasp active in your offhand. The actual Codex is an unlockable ritual item now.
expansion: The Living Heart is no longer a roundstart heretic item - their actual heart now becomes their Living Heart, and it makes a sound when triggered. Losing your heart (being disemboweled) will require you to do a ritual to regain it.
expansion: The Hereic Antag UI has been overhauled, and now hosts much of their mechanics as well as providing some helpful tips for newer players.
expansion: Most heretic spells now require a focus to cast. All heretics can make a basic focus necklace, and some heretic equipment also functions as a focus. (Credit to Imaginos for the focus sprite!)
expansion: Heretics now passively gain +1 influence every 20 minutes.
expansion: Heretic sacrificing has been reworked. You can now sacrifice people who are in soft crit or weaker. Sacrificing someone heals them, cuffs them, and teleports them to the SHADOW REALM, where they must dodge a barrage of hands to survive. Survive long enough and you return without memory - die, and your body will be thrown back.
expansion: Heretics now have a few new rituals, including the Ritual of Knowledge, a randomly generated ritual that awards knowledge points.
expansion: Heretic ascension now has a few requirements - you must complete your objectives assigned to you prior to learning the final ritual, and all the final rituals have been changed a bit!
qol: Using the Heretic's Mansus Grasp on surfaces (EX: Rust Grasp) now works on right-click, instead of combat mode.
qol: Used heretic influences can now be removed with a Anomaly Neutralizers.
balance: Some heretic rituals are now limited in the amount they can make. You can only have up to 2 heretic blades crafted at once (3 if you are Path of Flesh).
balance: The Lord of the Night has been buffed to be a little scarier. Did you know the Lord of the Night can eat arms to regain body parts and heal?
balance: Buffed some heretic summons - mostly their health pools.
balance: Nerfed the heretic's Mask of Madness. It can no longer infinite stam-crit you.
balance: Nerfed the heretic's ash mark.
balance: Nerfed a bunch of on-hit-heretic-blade effects. Many effects only apply on mark detonation now: Void blade silence, flesh blade wounds, ash blade gasp cooldown refund.
fix: Fixed quite a few bugs and unintended behaviors with heretic code.
refactor: Refactored and improved much of Heretic code. Improved the file structure dramatically.
admin: The heretic's traitor panel has been beefed up a bit.

Lowers stamina cost for ollieing and grinding.
Makes collisions with other carbons always result in a wipeout no matter your stamina damage, colliding with a carbon will stun and knock them down for a short time (Stunned for the quarter of the length the skater is, and knockdown for have the length) The time is doubled if you collide with them while they are performing a sick grind.
Additionally grinding on top of stuff now has more functionality.
Grinding over a person that is laying down will deal significant damage with a high chance to wound at the cost of the skaters' stamina. For this to happen the person has to be laying down on the table, if they are standing they will simply collide as normal.
You can grind into a disposals bin.
Fixed action buttons always being red
fixed being able to ollie while unconscious/dead

Why It's Good For The Game

I also deleted defines that were not being used and added documentation to all of the ones that were moved out of misc.dm
Why was this needed? People were basically using the misc.dm file as a dumpster to toss all their defines into that was creating one giant mess. The defines have been organized into their proper groups and files now.

WELL THAT ACTUALLY MAKES THEM WORSE. I would rather die to a hundred xenos and space dragons than be forced to untie myself in maintenance for 45 seconds while the shuttle leaves.
