About The Pull Request
I have received exemption from the freeze by Oranges.
This PR was originally done for Skyrat-tg, as a bounty. Oranges took interest and Skyrat people approved taking it upstream so I did. (original PR Skyrat-SS13/Skyrat-tg#9912 )
Features:
This PR adds "field of view" mechanics, which by default don't do anything.
Once you pick up and wear a gas mask you'll notice a cone behind you.
That cone will hide all mobs, projectiles and projectile effects.
HOWEVER... hidden things in the cone (or for people who are blind or nearsighted) will play a visual effect.
The fov cone shadow density can be adjusted
Technicalities:
Originally a component, but by Watermelon's advice I have made this a datumized behaviour instead. (semi-component) This way it is faster, less memory use etc. Once again a component
People have native fov, which can be enabled by a config, by default it's off. (or by an admin verb)
People have fov traits, which add the fov impairings to you, gas masks do that now. All clothes have a support for possibly applying them.
Moves all things that should be hidden onto a new plane which is just above GAME_PLANE, that was we can efficiently filter them out of clients views.
Being dead or extending your eye view (xenobio console) will disable the FOV mask.
This PR was brought to you by Skyrat paying me aswell as rotational mathematics
Why It's Good For The Game
Oranges approves so it's good.
Changelog
cl
add: Gas Masks now limit your field of view
add: Added field of view mechanics. It's darkness can be tweaked by a pref
add: Blind, nearsighted and fov-limited people will now see sounds as visual effects.
/cl
This fixes Emitters, beam_rifle, and more.
The great rendering refactor (#61286) changed how rendering worked.
Entities need to have a usable plane to render to. This isn't normally
a problem, as sensible defaults are set very low in the type path.
However, tracer effects use an appearance override, which was missing
the plane definition.
This adds the plane to the appearance used when apply_vars is called,
by copying it from the holding entity.
bring code up to latest standards, move many procs to named files inside _HELPERS
no idea where to put some of these procs, help is appreciated
made more files to contain some unique code, deleted unsorted.dm, we can rest now
## About The Pull Request
Changes up some layer and plane defines for no particular reason lol
## Why It's Good For The Game
Planes actually override layers, and layers control ordering within planes. A lot of the usage of plane and layer was wholly unnecessary. This refactor helps future maintainability while also being needed staging for _future features._
moves ammo icons, projectile icons and hitscan effect icons to guns folder
renames projectile.dmi to ballistic.dmi so its less confusing
moves rcd ammo from ammo.dmi to tools.dmi with the rcd
Done using this command sed -Ei 's/(\s*\S+)\s*\t+/\1 /g' code/**/*.dm
We have countless examples in the codebase with this style gone wrong, and defines and such being on hideously different levels of indentation. Fixing this to keep the alignment involves tainting the blames of code your PR doesn't need to be touching at all. And ultimately, it's hideous.
There are some files that this sed makes uglier. I can fix these when they are pointed out, but I believe this is ultimately for the greater good of readability. I'm more concerned with if any strings relied on this.
Hi codeowners!

experimental: Hitscanning tracers now have lighting effects
experimental: Projectile pathing has been changed - instead of moving to a turf 32 pixels forward using byond's built in step_towards() proc, it now increments 2 pixel 16 times (subject to change). While this will increase the processing overhead, this will more or less eliminate cases of "projectiles clipping past corners in some angles but not others".
It is my belief that science weaponry should exist but not be "just better energy guns/whatever". Right now, portal guns are actually pretty powerful, as their random teleport can space people (especially if they have bohs), and actually does burn damage, albeit very little. I want to make scilathe weapons into useful utility things that can be weaponized if you use it right and in somewhat niche scenarios.
This PR will make wormhole projectors into more utility than combat.
Moves beam rifle snowflake code up to projectile level for a proper hitscan system.

rscadd: Chameleon laser guns now have a special firing mode, activated by using them in hand! Only certain gun disguises will allow this to work!
