* Remove 2 instances of duplicate argument names (#81757)
## About The Pull Request
I fixed 2 instances of procs having multiple arguments with the same
name. BYOND does not error on these, instead ignoring all but the last.
It's best to remove these for clarity.

* split area.contained_turfs up by zlevel, make init 10 seconds faster (#80941)
## About The Pull Request
Situation: areas have a list of all turfs in their area.
Problem: `/area/space` is an area and has a 6 to 7 digit count of turfs
that has to be traversed for every turf we need to remove from it. This
can take multiple byond ticks just to preform this action for a single
space rune
Solution: split the list by zlevel, and only search the right zlevel
list when removing turfs from areas.
replaces `area.get_contained_turfs()` with a few new procs:
* `get_highest_zlevel()` - returns the highest zlevel the area contains
turfs in. useful for use with `get_turfs_by_zlevel`
* `get_turfs_by_zlevel(zlevel)` - returns a list of turfs in the area in
a given zlevel. Useful for code that only cares about a specific zlevel
or changes behavior based on zlevel like lighting init.
* `get_turfs_from_all_zlevels()` - the replacement for
`get_contained_turfs()`, renamed as such so anybody copying/cargo
culting code gets a hint that a zlevel specific version might exist.
Still used in for loops that type checked so byond would do that all at
once
* `get_zlevel_turf_lists()` - returns the area's zlevel lists of lists
but only for non-empty zlevels. very useful for for loops.
The area contents unit test has been rewritten to ensure any improper
data triggers failures or runtimes by not having it use the helpers
above (some of which ensure a list is always returned) and access the
lists directly.
* split area.contained_turfs up by zlevel, make init 10 seconds faster
* eeyes
* Update area_spawn_subsystem.dm
* Unshits turf contain code slightly (#81023)
Literally just implements my reviews from #80941
I am frankly a smidge pissed that the pr was merged without them being
handled. No code is worth merging past known issues, and if the author
is just gonna dip then that's life.
I don't like privileging mso on stuff like this, especially because
frankly I'm kinda mad at him rn but also because when a pr is made the
onus on finishing it falls to the person who made it.
Should not need to clean up after someone as a maintainer, and shouldn't
normalize doing it. I'm not like mad at zypher directly mind he offered
to do this too, just the idea he was espousing here.

* Adds lighting height control (space color consistency) (#79046)
## About The Pull Request
Adds support for modifying a light's "height"
You can think of this as the distance it is from the ground below it
(Really it's the distance to the corners around it + 0.5 but yaknow) We
use it to keep wall lights from looking weird, but well, not everything
is a wall light
Floors tend to not be, and space in particular does not want to be
treated as such.
In fact, it wants a NEGATIVE height, so it acts as if it in on top of
all of its corners. This allows us to ensure that the starlight from
space and the starlight from starlight overlays always have the same
intensity and color, preventing weird lines from where the two
intersect, or starlight feeling not very present in cases with only one
turf
I've also bumped starlight's intensity form 0.75 to 1, this should help
with the lines thing discussed above.

* Starlight Control (Aurora works now, space gas doesn't touch starlight, narsie ending effects) (#78877)
## About The Pull Request
[Implements a setter for starlight
variables](af34f06b41)
I want to start to modify starlight more, and that means I need a way to
hook into everything that uses it and update it, so we can modify it on
the fly.
This does that, alongside removing space overlays from nearspace (too
many false positives) and making the aurora modify all turfs projecting
starlight, rather then all turfs in an area.
Do still need to figure out handling for the starlight color usage in
turf underlays tho (I gave up, we just keep it static. I'll fix it
someday but the render_relay strategy just doesn't work with its masking
setup)
[Reworks how starlight overlays
work](9da4bc38e2)
Instead of setting color on the overlays directly, we instead store an
object with our current settings in every mob's screen, and
render_target it down onto our overlays.
This lets us update overlay colors VERY trivially. Just need to set
color on the overlay var. Makes modifying starlight a lot cheaper.
It doesn't work on area overlays, because suffering, and it MIGHT induce
extra cost on clients. if it does we can do something about that, we'll
play it by ear
[Removes parallax starlight
coloring.](5f701a1b13)
I'm sorta iffy on the color, the effect can be real oppressive in some
cases, and I'd like to use starlight color for more events in world, and
having it vary can make that looking nice hard.
[Adds some visual effects to narsie being
summoned](a423cfcb2b)
As the rune drawing progresses space (starlight and parallax) go from
normal to greyscale. Then, right about when narsie shows up, starlight
becomes vibrant red.
It's a nice effect. I wanna do more shit like this, I think it'll
improve vibes significantly.

* [MDB IGNORE] Angled Lights & Lighting Prototyping Tool (#74365)
## About The Pull Request
Hello friends, I've been on a bit of a lighting kick recently, and I
decided I clearly do not have enough things to work on as it is.
This pr adds angle support to static lights, and a concepting/debug tool
for playing with lights on a map.
Let's start from first principles yeah?
### Why Angled Lights?
Mappers, since they can't actually see a light's effect in editor, tend
to go off gut.
That gut is based more off what "makes sense" then how things actually
work
This means they'll overplace light sources, and also they tend to treat
lights, particularly light "bars" (the bigger ones) as directional.
So you'll have two lights on either sides of a pillar, lights inside a
room with lights outside pointing out, etc.
This has annoying side effects. A lot of our map is overlit, to the
point that knocking out a light does.... pretty much nothing.
I find this sad, and would like to work to prevent it. I think dark and
dim, while it does not suit the normal game, is amazing for vibes, and I
want it to be easier to see that.
Angled lights bring how lights work more in line with how mappers expect
lights work, and avoids bleedover into rooms that shouldn't be bled
into, working towards that goal of mine.
### How Angled Lights?
This is more complex then you'd first think so we'll go step by step
Oh before we start, some catchup from the last time I touched lighting
code.
Instead of doing a lighting falloff calculation for each lighting corner
(a block that represents the resolution of our lights) in view we
instead generate cached lightsheets. These precalculate and store all
possible falloffs for x and y distances from a source.
This is very useful for angle work, since it makes it almost totally
free.
Atoms get 2 new values. light_angle and light_dir
Light angle is the angle the light uses, and light_dir is a cardinal
direction it displays in
We take these values, and inside sheetbuilding do some optional angle
work. getting the center angle, the angle of a pair of coords, and then
the delta between them.
This is then multiplied against the standard falloff formula, and job
done.
We do need some extra fenangling to make this all work nicely tho.
We currently use a pixel turf var stored on the light source to do
distance calculations.
This is the turf we pretend the light source is on for visuals, most
often used to make wall lights work nice.
The trouble is it's not very granular, and doesn't always have the
effect you might want.
So, instead of generating and storing a pixel turf to do our distance
calculations against, we store x and y offset variables.
We use them to expand our working range and sheet size to ensure things
visually make sense, and then offset any positions by them.
I've added a way for sources to have opinions on their offsets too, and
am using them for wall lights.
This ensures the angle calculations don't make the wall behind a light
fulldark, which would be silly.
### Debug Tool?
In the interest of helping with that core problem, lights being complex
to display, I've added a prototyping tool to the game.
It's locked behind mapping verbs, and works about like this.
Once the verb is activated, it iterates over all the sources in the
world (except turfs because those are kinda silly), outlining and
"freezing" them, preventing any future changes.
Then, it adds 3 buttons to the owners of a light source.
The first button toggles the light on and off, as desired.
The third allows you to move the source around, with a little targeting
icon replacing your mouse
The second tho, that's more interesting.
The second button opens a debug menu for that light
There's a lot here, let's go through it.
Bit on the left is a list of templates, which allow you to sample
existing light types (No I have no idea why the background is fullwhite,
need to work on that pre merge)
You can choose one by clicking it, and hitting the upload button.
This replaces your existing lighting values with the template's,
alongside replacing its icon and icon state so it looks right.
There are three types as of now, mostly for categorization. Bar, which
are the larger typically stronger lights, Bulb, which are well, bulbs,
and Misc which could be expanded, but currently just contains floor
lights.
Alongside that you can manually edit the power, range, color and angle
of the focused light.
I also have support for changing the direction of the light source,
since anything that uses directional lighting would also tie light dir
to it.
This isn't *always* done tho, so I should maybe find a way to edit light
dir too.
My hope is this tool will allow for better concepting of a room's
lights, and easier changing of individual object's light values to suit
the right visuals.
### Lemon No Why What
Ok so I applied angle lights to bars and bulbs, which means I am
changing the lighting of pretty much every map in the codebase.
I'm gonna uh, go check my work.
Alongside this I intend to give lighting some depth. So if there's room
to make a space warmer, or highlight light colors from other sources, I
will do that.
(Images as examples)
I also want to work on that other goal of mine, making breaking lights
matter. So I'll be doing what I can to ensure you only need to break one
light to make a meaningful change in the scene.
This is semi complicated by one light source not ever actually reaching
fullbright on its own, but we do what we must because we can.
I'm as I hope you know biased towards darker spaces, I think contrast
has vibes.
In particular I do not think strong lights really suit maintenance.
Most of what is used there are bulbs, so I'm planning on replacing most
uses with low power bulbs, to keep light impacts to rooms, alongside
reducing the amount of lights placed in the main tunnels
**If you take issue with this methodology please do so NOW**, I don't
want to have to do another pass over things.
Oh also I'm saving station maps for last since ruins are less likely to
get touched in mapping march and all.
### Misc + Finishing Thoughts
Light templates support mirroring vars off typepaths using a subtype,
which means all the templates added here do not require updating if the
source type changes somehow. I'd like to expand the template list at
some point, perhaps in future.
I've opened this as a draft to make my intentions to make my changes to
lights known, and to serve as motivation for all the map changes I need
to do.
### Farish Future
I'm unhappy with how we currently configure lights. I would like a
system that more directly matches the idea of drawing falloff curves,
along with allowing for different falloffs for different colors,
alongside extending the idea to angle falloff.
This would make out of engine lighting easier, allow for nicer looking
lights (red to pink, blue to purple, etc), and improve accessibility by
artists.
This is slightly far off, because I have other obligations and it's
kinda complicated, but I'd like to mention it cause it's one of my many
pipedreams.

* Macros multi-z code, removes the false premise of manual offsets (#76248)
## About The Pull Request
[Removes the pretense of relative multiz
levels](0293fdc2bd)
Our multiz system does not support having a z level that is only
connected one way, or which goes down backwards or anything like that.
That's a fiction of the trait system, the actual backend has never
really supported this.
This pr removes the assumptions we were making backend around this, and
uses that to save cpu time.
I am also converting multiz_levels from an assoc list to a pure one,
which saves significantly on access times and cleans up the code
somewhat.
Also I'm making the get_below/get_above procs into macros, for the sake
of cpu time.

* Removes Starlight Config (#74289)
## About The Pull Request
It was config'd off to save init time, but having it function in testing
and mapping is more valuble then the time spend on it.
On that topic, we spend roughly 1.7 seconds of init on this.
~1.3 is spent handling the light sources and their light object
modifications (this is potentailly inflated since other sources could
cause the same objects to need updates)
~0.3 is spent searching for space turfs around lighting_objects during
init.
This will impact change_turf slightly too, costing about ~0.07 in local
testing.
It does save time for live however, since we avoid these config checks.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe this time is worth spending.
I've had people try to "fix" artifacts of starlight not being enabled,
things that aren't bugs.
The test environment should as much as we can make it reflect the visual
reality of the game. This helps ensure that

* Fixes the labor claim console not properly linking in shuttle loads (#73590)
## About The Pull Request
Caused by f88edef0fb
I prevented lighting objects transfering between space turfs and not
space turfs.
This meant if you went from space turf -> non space turf, we had to
spawn you a new lighting object.
This would set your luminosity to 0, then queue you for updates.
This meant that shuttles would go fulldark (To things without
see_in_dark) on move. So when we'd try and do a view check to look for a
stacking machine to feed from, we'd get blocked
Lets swap from a view to a dview() then, and default to lit instead of
unlit turfs
Because mobs use infi see_in_dark this only impacts redundant view()
calls. Lets just be nice to em yeah?

* Lighting source refactor (Tiny) (#73284)
## About The Pull Request
I'm doing two things here. Let's get the boring bit out of the way.
Lighting source updates do three distinct things, and those things were
all in one proc.
I've split that one proc into three, with the first two feeding into the
third.
Second, more interesting thing.
An annoying aspect of our lighting system is the math we use for
calculating luminosity is hardcoded.
This means that we can't have subtypes that are angled, or that have
squared falloff, etc. All has to look the same.
This sucks, and it shows.
It has to be, goes the thinking, because we need very fast lookups that
OOP cannot provide.
We can't bog down the main equation with fluff, because the main
equation needs to be really speedy.
The thing about this equation is the only variants on a turf to turf
basis is exactly how far turfs are from the center.
So what if, instead of doing the math in our corner worker loop, we
build lookup tables to match our current source's state.
The tables, like a heatmap, could encode the lighting of any point along
the line.
This is actually faster then doing the math each time, because the list
generation can be cached.
It also means we've pulled the part we want to override out of hotcode.
It's cheap to override now, and a complex subtype, with angles and such
would have no impact on the typical usage.
So the code's faster, easier to read, and more extensible.
And we can do stuff like squared falloff for some lights in future
without breaking others.
Winning!

## About The Pull Request
Adds support to underlays to realize_overlays
Ensures decals properly handle plane offsets
Fixes space lighting double applying if it's changeturf'd into. this
will be important later
Makes solar vis_contents block emissives as expected
Moves transit tube overlays to update_overlays, adds emissive blockers
to them
#### Adds render steps
An expansion on render_target based emissive blockers.
They allow us to hijack an object's appearance and draw it somewhere
else, or even modify it, THEN draw it somewhere else.
They chain quite nicely
Fixes shuttles deleting z holder objects
#### Makes space emissive, makes walls and floors block emissives
The core idea here goes like this:
We make space glow, and give its overlays some color
This way, the tile and space parallax remain fullbright, along with
anything that doesn't block emissives, but anything that does block
emissives will instead get shaded the color of starlight
This requires a bit of extra work, see later
This is done automatically with render relays, which now support
specifiying layer and color (Need to make an editor for these one of
these days)
The emissive blocking floor stuff requires making a second render plate
to prevent double scaling
Also adds some new layering defines for lighting, and ensures all turf
lights have a layer. We'll get to this soon
#### Makes things in space blue
We color them the same as starlight, by taking advantage of space being
emissive
This means that things in space that block emissive will block it
correctly and be colored blue by the light overlay, but space itself
will remain fullbright
This does require redefining what always_lit means, but nothing but
cordons use that so it's fineee
#### Makes glass above space glow, and some other stuff
Glass tiles that sit above space will now shine light with matching
color to the glasses color. This includes mat tiles.
Glass tiles (not mat because they have no alpha) also only partially
block emissives.
Adds a new proc that uses render steps to acomplish this, essentially
we're cutting out bits below X alpha and drawing what remains as an
emissive.
#### Modifies partial space showing to support glow
Essentially, alongside displaying space as an underlay, we also display
a light overlay colored like starlight.
That starlight overlay gets masked to only be visible in bits that do
not contain any alpha.
We also mask the turf lighting to not go into bits that have no alpha,
to ensure we get the effect we want.
This is done with that lighting layer thing I mentioned earlier.
#### Makes appearance realization's list output ordered
I want it output in order of overlay, sub overlay suboverlay, next
overlay
Need to use insert for that
## Why It's Good For The Game
Pretty!
Also having space be emissive is a very very good way to test for fucked
emissive blockers (If it's broken why are we even drawing the overlay)
I know for a fact mob blockers on lizards and socks are kinda yorked, I
think there's more

Adds a visualizer for lighting object updating. Optimizes the same (#67678)
It occured to me, we didn't have a good way to "see" what turfs were actually being updated
Figured I'd fix that
I've also added some debug vars on SSlighting to make testing with/without some checks easier
Speaking of which, I've added a second check to lighting corner updating
Basically, if our past and current cached rgb values are the same, there's no point updating
This is possible because static lighting is relative. If you've got a
TON of blue, it'll outweight the red and green you have in smaller amounts
We also do some rounding to ensure values look right
Similarly, if you've got roughly the same lighting, and a bit of something you already have a lot of is added, you're not likely to actually enter a new "bracket" of color
Anyway uh, it's hard to profile this, but I've seen it help quite a bit, mostly with things like emergency lighting that updates lighting in small amounts often, and in constricted spaces.
To some extent just comes down to map design

## About The Pull Request
[Fixes area lighting not working on turf change in multiz
cases](7b92deffbc)
If you modify a area lit turf when using multiz, it'd end up using the
wrong plane for its light, because of stupid shit on my part.
Stupid shit resolved
[Fixes some uses of plane masters that only specified one rather then
all](a59ec96d29)
We almost never only want to show SOME hidden planes.
Should really make a helper for this someday

* Removes 1.4 seconds from game init on LOWMEMORYMODE (#69455)
We were spending 1.4 seconds on doing an add_overlay on EVERY turf in
/area/space
There's no fukin reason to do this, you CAN JUST ADD OVERLAYS TO AREAS
IT WAS POINTLESS. I HATE IT HERE

Although these vars are unlikely to ever change, if the vars were ever renamed it would result in these strings not erroring properly if they weren't updated as well.

* Things that love the station may no longer leave the station, even when Dr. Anomaly says they should. (#61335)
Bluespace anomalies detonating Move() things. When something is Move()d, none of the logic in forceMove() or doMove() is called, and thus stationloving things can't tell when they've left the z-level (since that's where the logic for it is).
There are a number of approaches I could have taken: Refactoring anomalies to use different movement code. Refactoring Movement code to send more signals in various scenarios. Refactoring the stationloving component.
I settled on two steps. First, refactoring the component to bring it up to modern code standards. Second, moving the logic for COMSIG_MOVABLE_Z_CHANGED to Moved() so the signal always fires regardless of if Move() or forceMove() or doMove() is used, with an optional var for whether the z-change is communicated to contents. This means the ore box was changed to actually send the signal instead of just returning with no parent call or signal sent. Stationloving ore boxes when?
stationloving procs no longer call SIGNAL_HANDLERs directly. Var names are now more descriptive. Things are renamed and documented. At least for the parts of the code I know.
Probably some other code cleanups.

* [READY] Lighting list cleanup. (#59002)
Removed a bunch of back reference lists that were either entirely unused, or contained references that could be found within the datums contained in other lists.
lighting corner datums now get deleted with unused.
light sources no longer track lighting corners where the appiled light rounds to 0.
Fix lighting on turfs that gained dynamic lighting mid round. lazy init corner datums.
these two are related. by decoupling corner datums from the turfs dynamic lighting state, we can use them to know what level of light a non-dynamic light turf should have once it gains dynamic light.
Also should free up some memory not storing these datums in maint. Corner datums only exist on a turf that has light cast upon it by the dynamic lighting system.
Lighting corners are now lazy inited and deleted. they should always (and only exist) if there is a light source shining on it within range (even if the turf has no dynamic lighting). This is needed to support turfs that become lighting enabled mid round. On the plus side, they will no longer be generated on full dark turfs.

* Emissive system refactor (#58130)
The emissives system is the system that both lets computer screens and vendors glow in the dark and lets mobs and items block those glows. The current implementation relies on using filters to let mobs and items mask out the glow in the dark overlays on some structures. This is difficult to extend properly without massively increasing maptick. This PR changes the emissives system to use BYONDs native image layering to mask emissive overlays. This should prove to be a more extensible option.
tldr; There exists a system that lets computer screens glow on the dark and lets mobs and items block the glow. It isn't very extensible and this PR attempts to make it more extensible.
How emissive overlays used to work
Currently emissive overlays and the emissive blockers that mask those overlays are handled using a system of inter-masking planes. The emissive overlays and the emissive blockers are placed on separate, hidden plane masters. These are essentially rendering layers and groups. The emissive blocker plane is then used to mask the emissive overlay plane which effectively allows the emissive blockers to block the emissive overlays from being seen. After is has been masked the emissive overlay plane is used to mask the lighting plane, essentially creating holes in the shadows wherever an unblocked glowing thing exists.
Why this is a potential problem
This system works fine. In fact it works great! The computer screens glow, any person or item that winds up on a computer blocks the glow, and everything just works. However, this system runs into some issues when you try to extend it to work on things other than structures. Namely, the current system only supports emissive overlays on structures and emissive overlays that are completely unblockable by any means. As a result, several interesting uses to the system require extending the system.
As a result, if you want to apply emissive overlays to items (which exist between structures and mobs) or emissive overlays to turfs (which exist below structures) you must extend the emissives system to get the emissive overlays and emissive blockers to properly function. Doing this naively, by adding extra emissive overlay and emissive blocker planes and applying all of the relevant masking filters, is not exactly performant.
Maptick is a major contributor to lag and the higher the maptick the more free lag you, the player, get delivered fresh to your client. Trying the naive method resulted in #55782 (1f1b58bb26), an attempt to add glowing carpet to the game. Since the PR revolved around adding glowing carpet it had to extend the emissives system to allow for emissive turfs and emissive blocking structures. Extending the system was done naively as described above and you can see the results. 1.5 times the maptick across the board. Ouch.
So, we know that extending the system in it's current form is impractical. At least if done naively. Thus we are stuck.
tldr; The emissive system currently uses inter-plane masking to allow for emissive blockers to function. This is difficult to reasonably extend without murdering maptick. See #56496 (1f1b58bb26) for the results of naively extending this system.
How emissive overlays are going to work
Alright, so we know that the current system of using planes to let the emissive blockers mask the emissive overlays is difficult to extend in it's current form. The solution is to change how the system works so that it can be extended in a more efficient manner. What we want is a system that allows one set of images to be out masked by another set of images and for the first set of images to be capable of masking the light plane. Preferably, we would also like the ability to interleave the masking effect between emissives and emissive blockers with almost arbitrary layering.
Conveniently, this layering and masking is something BYOND already does to normal items and objects. If we put the emissive overlays and the emissive blockers on the same plane we can use their layers to interleave them almost arbitrarily like any normal structures and items! All we need is a way to mask away the emissive blockers from the resulting rendered plane and we can mask the lighting plane with the remaining emissive overlays.
Luckily, BYOND has provided a single filter that is capable of this task. The color matrix filter. This filter can be used to apply a color matrix to an image! Provided that the emissive overlays and the emissive blockers are different colors we can use a color matrix filter to effectively mask out the emissive blockers from the plane! The resulting emissive plane can be applied as an alpha mask to the lighting plane as it used to, to the same effect. The best part is, we get layering practically for free!
This is exactly what this PR does. It converts the emissives system from the old plane and masking based blocking to a new layer-based system which uses BYONDs native layer handling to mask the emissive overlays.

* Layer overhaul (#57915)
## 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._
