## The Voidwalker
Adds a new antagonist, the Voidwalker!
It's a rare antag that spawns in space when there's at least 40 people
Design doc is here: https://hackmd.io/jE4YScP8RPykXo37rTBV2Q (there's
some deviations)
No biddle
## Summary
Spooky space antag that moves around space, ambushing people either in
space or near space. They can move through glass, have an ability to
stamina drain you if they remain in your vision for 8 seconds, can
temporarily remove glass windows to drag you through them and deal
~~stamina damage~~ incredibly violence. Upon being taken, they can be
kidnapped and cursed, muting and pacifying the person and sending them
to the void.
## Passive
Passive abilities:
- Permanent space flight and indoor flight
- Space regen
- Slowdown when in gravity
- Space camo (very low alpha when in space
- Can freely move through unshocked glass
- Mute, but can hear all station frequencies (excluding binary)
- Will quickly die when on planets or moons (obviously can't roll on
icebox)
- 10 brute armor and 20 burn armor. They can't wear any form of armor
and don't have any get out of jail free cards, so I think it'll help
with their survivability a slight bit
## Abilities
**Void eater:** Literally just a light-eater but instead of eating light
it instantly shatters windows, but restores them after a few seconds
**Space Dive:** New ability that lets you move under the station with a
2 second do_after, so they can still get to closed of space spots
without being as annoying as heretic space shift
**Unsettle:** Remain in view of the target for 8 seconds to give them a
short stun, slurring and 80 stamina damage, but announce your presence
and location to them. Both you and your target can move, as long as you
remain in their view.
**Space Kidnap:** When your target is incapacitated and in space, you
can drag them into the cosmic void. They'll be returned cursed after
undergoing a sort of reverse heretic sacrifice (more on that in the next
section).

## Voided Crew
A brain trauma received when you get kidnapped. While under it's
influence, you are muted and pacified. You will die in planetary gravity
and cannot enter space.
It can be cured with a lobotomy or by dying in planetary gravity.
You get warned to avoid the Voidwalker. The voidwalker now does extra
damage and gets the option to glass gib you if you die, leaving just a
brain
## Loot
On death, the Voidwalker shatters into glass and drops a cosmic skull.
Looking into the skull gives you a stable version of the Voided brain
trauma. It doesn't give you pacifism and doesn't ban you from space. It
also makes you space immune and gives you the ability to walk through
unshocked glass after 2 seconds do_after.
Sprites for the cosmic skull by Justice12354 and Rex9001! I'll throw up
a video showcasing death and their sprites on Sunday
## Why It's Good For The Game
We don't have any space centered antagonists. The closest we have are
Space Dragons, but they have to go deep into the station anyway. I'm
also quite fond of simpler antagonists, like revenant and nightmare.
Give people the tools, and they'll make the fun themselves.
I've been comparing the Voidwalker with the Nightmare. Both are goalles,
simple antagonists, but where the Nightmare's gimmick is darkness, the
Voidwalker's gimmick is space.
They also get a dark tentacle arm so they can murderize people, but it
only gets them to crit. After that they can drag people into the "void"
to kidnap them. This is mostly to encourage the Voidwalker not to just
space them cause that's kinda lame. They still can though, just in-case
it would be very funny
## Changelog
🆑 Time-Green, Justice12354, Rex9001
add: Adds the Voidwalker, a new rare space based midround antagonist!
code: Adds the ability to texture limbs and bodypart_overlays
Sprite: Cosmic skull sprites by Justice12354 and Rex9001
/🆑
- [x] Add a better kidnapping mechanic, instead of just teleporting
someone to a station turf
- [x] Add an armblade or weapon or something, unarmed combat is kinda
ass for this
- [x] Fix the antag preview not rendering textures
- [x] Prevent them from space phasing when in combat so they can
actually be killed in space combat, even if really fucking hard
- [x] Nerf visibility for people with space parallax disabled, probably
also something to improve camo with colored parallax
- [x] Replace the stamina damage stuff
- [x] Cool rework of space phase idea I have
- [x] Update/implement vidual effects
- [x] Implement names
## Considerations
There's a few things that I might change or implement later, depending
on how it actually plays.
It's a space focused antag, but there might not be enough people near
space in a given round. An ability to let them "capture" area's or let
them turn into a meteor or something might be needed later if they turn
out to be too passive.
They might also be _too_ oppressive in space. I designed them for
near-space combat, but may've made them insanely overpowered in in raw
space combat.
Probably wont do biddle, but might add more powers that you can reroll
every few minutes or something (like blob). Either wat it wont be this

## About The Pull Request
Min compiler version is something we should probably test to make sure
it actually works.
Case in point: Our current min version (1609) cannot compile as of
#81152 due to a byond bug fixed in version 515.1621.
## About The Pull Request
LSP supports it, let's GOOOOOO
I've removed the 515 tests since they're stable, alongside the libcall
wrapper. left the rustgcall wrapper cause yaknow memes
Just removed all the 515 and 514 particular define wrappers. gaming
## Changelog
🆑
server: Minimum compile version has been bumped to 515. clients still
support 514 but we're gonna start using 515 restricted features for
serverside now.

This is a byond bug, but @san7890 @lessthnthree found it months ago and
didn't report it to byond.
So I will not open the issue report reporting this byond. They can
fucking do that.
This pr needs a speed merge because we have linux downstreams that
follow upstream code affected by this byond bug. then again skyrat also
knows about this bug on top of this workaround and has not opened a bug
report so maybe they don't fucking need a speed merge and instead should
have filed a bug report with byond.
Its out of my hands.

## About The Pull Request
Apparently in (one) place in the codebase, we were still using stuff
like `.verb/example_verb` for stuff like `INVOKE_ASYNC()` and
`CALLBACK()`s, and I'm pretty sure this is one of those things that are
being phased out in 515 (like we had to deal with in
4d6a8bc537), so let's give it the same
treatment as we did `PROC_REF` in November 2022.
In order to make this work, I created a generic backend of define
macros, and then moved two things: `PROC_REF` and `VERB_REF` to just
leverage that backend as needed. This was done just so we didn't have to
copy-paste code in case we needed to update these macros in the future,
let me know if I should approach this a different way.
## Why It's Good For The Game
code don't break (or at least the compile-time assertions won't break)
when we inevitably fully shift to 515. whoopie!
## Changelog
Nothing players should be concerned about.
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.
