fix: PDA flashlights wont cause the cell to constantly drain faster and
faster.
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
So one aspect of PDAs that I quite liked previously was managing and
upgrading your power.
This was lost when all cell parts got removed, mostly, and now I'd like
to re-add it.
PDAs and Tablets now use more power each second it's on
Programs being active/idle now take charge too.
And all this now takes ``seconds_per_tick`` into account.
Screenshots of APC use before and after having 6 programs open at once


PDA default power cells have a max charge of 1000, each cell use is
around ``1.00970340315`` power, which is ``1.01013789399`` w/ 2 programs
in idle and 1 active program (which is what PDAs are capable of). This
means it takes about 990 ticks to fully drain your power, or about 50
minutes, at max use.
This is completely blasted away the moment you put anything beyond a t1
cell inside of it, which is unfortunate but what can you do about tiered
parts being so poor.
The problem of no public PDA chargers are alleviated by
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78600
### Update
The PDA flashlight being on now also drains the battery 25% times
faster. PDA running out of charge now also turns the flashlight off.
## Why It's Good For The Game
You may or may not have to actually charge your PDA once in a round now,
maybe. I liked this part of tablets and would like to see it brought
back, managing your power to use your apps is important to ensure you're
not just using all apps 24/7
Because this also adds the functionality to add/remove power cells
again, it opens up to some minor little pranks/messing with people that
isn't completely destroying their tools, as well as some minor
upgradeability.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: You can now remove and replace power cells from PDAs (with
screwdriver).
balance: PDAs now drain their power cells harder, and also take into
account active programs & their flashlight being on.
balance: PDAs running out of charge now turn their flashlights off.

As described in #78467, if an Intellicard is inserted into a laptop or
stationary modular computer, and said computer is destroyed, then the
Intellicard (as well as any AI on it) is instantly deleted. This PR
makes the Intellicard get dropped instead. Closes#78467.

## About The Pull Request
This PR lets pAIs inserted into a PDA to control the PDA of their owner.
They can see their own pAI configurations but cannot edit any of it.
They also can't eject themselves from it.
This means they can receive and send PDA messages as their owner, acting
like a personal secretary
This also adds support for multiple people using a PDA and its UI
updating for all of them and PDA messages being received and responded
to from multiple people under the same PDA
It also removes pAI camera in favor of using siliconcamera, which is the
same thing; this just cuts down on some copy paste.
I also reverted PDA's ringer being off preventing messages from being
sent to your chat, silent mode was meant to prevent only the ringing
sound.
## Why It's Good For The Game
pAIs can now do a little bit more to help their owners on a personal
level, and adds support for more stuff like this in the future (an idea
I had was being able to hack into PDAs in the same way the CE can hack
into APCs remotely)
This is a re-PR of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76445 but
it's a little better this time and does not remove the PDA Messenger app
from pAIs.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: PDAs being on silent no longer prevents PDAs from being sent to
your chat, again.
add: pAIs inserted into a PDA can now control the PDA, and will receive
PDA messages sent to it (and can respond under the PDA's name).

## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Traitor's Camera Bug item with an application that allows
you to view camera apps.
The difference between this app and the Security one is that it does not
have an access requirement, does not make noise (it didn't previously
due to a bug, fixed in this PR), and can be installed on PDAs.
This can also be installed from syndienet, which means nukies now have a
way to see the station cameras while off the ship.
Adds Syndicate app disks, which are made of Gold. This is only used by
the Camera app as of right now.
I also fixed some issues along the way;
- Camera tablet app now properly shows cameras
- It now properly makes the noises it is supposed to
- It clears the viewers properly on the ui being closed or the app being
exited.
Syndicate app disks ddelete their apps upon being transferred over (like
maintenance disks), trying to remain consistent with previous behavior.
I also made this for a [personal project I am currently working
on](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA). I could just make this UI
be TGUI, but I thought it could be worth trying to turn it into a better
item first.
Tracking people is much simpler now- You choose anyone from a list of
people found on cameras, and it will try to find a camera that sees
them. It follows them until you close the app or switch camera.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/1536ebb9-0c4f-45bb-b593-f98791ea6d23
## Why It's Good For The Game
The Camera Bug is one of the worst traitor items as of current. You can
remotely shut off a single camera, something that can be done with basic
tools you are likely carrying around anyways, and uses an HTML clunky UI
to flip through cameras.
This new Traitor item makes it much easier to use, since the camera
consoles are something you are likely already used to.
It also means emagging a tablet is slightly more useful, and golden data
disks are pretty cool.
Unfortunately this means that they no longer grant illegal tech, because
otherwise you can simply clone the app infinitely for personal use, and
deconstruct the disk itself for tech. This can be grinded into gold, but
I think if we want an illegal tech item, it'll have to find a new host.

## About The Pull Request
When you say "sent from my PDA" in messenger, if it's through a clear
PDA, it will instead say "Sent from my Crystal PDA". This is so the
recipient knows they are in the presence of a crystal pda.

## About The Pull Request
Removes all of the duplicate global lists for specific machine types
where the only thing they do is store all machines of that type.
Adds machine tracking to SSmachines in the form of a list for all
machines, and then an associative list for machines by their type.
Previously we have machines in multiple global lists, such as airlocks
being in GLOB.doors, GLOB.airlocks, GLOB.machines.
This makes that not a thing, and also means that iterating through
GLOB.machines looking for a specific type is no longer as expensive.
## About The Pull Request
New malf AI upgrade
Remote safety overrides: Mid-cost, Mid-supply. Allows the AI to remotely
emag things it can see and can access.
1. Very useful for psychological warfare (Emagging APCs to throw the
crew off their trail)
2. Logically makes sense - why, of all things, can the AI not emag
anything when it's fundumentally integrated with the station's
electronics?
3. Generally speaking can only access things that make sense for it to
access - it cannot emag ethereals, sadly
In order for this to work, emag_act now returns a boolean, designating
if the emag had any effect.
While I was in there, I also added args to every single emag_act I could
find and added far more feedback/converted a lot of things to balloon
alerts to allow the AI to see if its emag had any effect.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It just makes sense that the AI, the most electronically-sensitive
entity in the game, would be able to emag things. Plus, more options
given to malf that aren't strictly MURDER KILL MURDER are always a plus,
especially if they allow for fancier plays.
## Changelog
🆑
add: New malf ability: Remote safety overrides. Allows the AI to
remotely emag things it has access to.
code: emag_act() now returns a boolean designating it's success in
emagging
code: All instances of emag_act() now have the proper arguments
qol: Most usecases of emagging now have some kind of feedback, and
existing feedback has been sanity checked and converted to balloon
alerts.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Clear PDAs are found/purchased late into a round and theme apps would
generally already be found and installed in PDAs. This means there's

Remove welder fuel usage from all actions except attacking and leaving
it on
most welder tasks require a minimum of 1u of fuel, some longer tasks
require a minimum of 2 or 3u welders now drain 1u every 5 seconds
they're active
## About The Pull Request
Prior to this PR welder fuel usage was random, a lot of tasks didn't use
any welder fuel and welders were basically near infinite so long as you
didn't use them for combat, it took 26 seconds of activity to drain 1u
of fuel, that means an emergency welder alone could run for 5 minutes
straight before needing a refuel
After this PR all welders will drain 1u every 5 seconds instead of every
26 seconds, but welding objects won't require extra fuel anymore, making
the fuel usage much more consistent.
resolves#55018
## Why It's Good For The Game
Actually makes fuel tanks useful and relevant without making it
obnoxious to do repetitive quick tasks like turn rods into plates,
there's actually a reason to upgrade off the emergency welder now since
it lasts 50 seconds rather than 5 minutes
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Laptops have a slowdown when held in hand that could easily be bypassed
by just dragging the laptop instead so you can interact with it with no
slowdown.
It is the same slowdown from dragging lockers with 1.5, and by tests,
looks like the same slowdown given to laptop when held even if I
couldn't easily find the value properly defined anywhere...
## Why It's Good For The Game
If we designed Laptops to be better PDAs but with a bulkyness side
effect, kinda silly to let it be easily bypassed like this...

pen-like enough, right?
## About The Pull Request
Fixes a couple of things people have pointed out about golem
transformations.
- Diamond golems now stop being invisible when they attack or throw
something, they also turn invisible a bit slower.
- Using a bluespace knot takes 2 seconds instead of 3 seconds.
- Bananium Golems only slip you if they are lying down.
In order to achieve that last one I refactored the slipperiness
component to take an optional extra callback, and then killed a subtype
of it which could be replaced with passing in a callback. I tested it
and it seems to work the same as it used to.
These are largely how things were supposed to work and I just overlooked
them.
I am sure this won't be the last PR of a similar vein while people try
these out, provided that I actually hear anything they are saying about
it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Diamond golems shouldn't be able to attack you while remaining invisible
and untargetable even if it is funny.
Clown golems aren't supposed to be able to slip you by swapping places
with you even if it is funny.
The bluespace hand was basically just worse than using the crystal and
not eating it, maybe still needs another buff after this one.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Diamond Golems can no longer attack or throw things and remain
invisible.
fix: Bananium Golems are only slippery if you actually tread on them
(aka: while they are resting).
balance: Golem bluespace teleportation is slightly quicker.

I played some as coroner, and realized there were a few things that were
either errors in the original PR, left out, or that could be added to
improve the feel of the job a little more. It ended up covering a fair
bit of ground, with a number of changes, but i'll go over the biggest
parts here:
First up! jumpsuits and jumpskirts! the medical doctor job, despite
starting with scrubs, still has a jumpsuit and skirt available in the
medidrobe. So, i added a pair for coroners to the mortidrobe, enjoy!
(and thanks to the kind morgue skeleton for modeling these with me!)
also, you may notice some black pixels on my head - that's because i
added a black scrubcap to the mortidrobe as well! the sprites were done
for this already, so when i noticed it was absent i opted to include it
here, for consistency with the other scrub types in the game.
next up, we have the other addition of this PR, the coroner's medkit
this is mainly for storing and consolidating coroner job items, in a
flavorful and interesting way. the coroner spawns with the larger
variant, that has more storage, but can still only hold up to small
items. it also includes a few more flavor items, that the compact
version lacks. the smaller version can be obtained in the autopsy kit
from cargo, and one more is available in the mortidrobe.
smaller changes:
i fixed some weird transparent pixels on the autopsy scanner itself, and
cleaned up some incorrect shading on the obj icon for the black scrubs.
before and after here:
i also gave the coroner their own type of pda, since they were
previously inheriting the medical one. this one matches their color
palette! in addition to this, i swapped the botkeeper app they
previously had for plexagon crew manifest.
## About The Pull Request
- Fixes background apps not reloading the UI
- Standardizes opening/closing/backgrounding apps
- Simplifies the way apps are closed instead of having 2 procs, one on
the PC and one on the program, being named the same thing (wtf)
- Removes program states. They existed so computers can know to update
their UI every process tick, but since we now do this event based, this
is no longer needed, which is good.
- Replaces the 'forced' arg from kill_program as it was completely
unused, with ``reload_ui``, which is now used to open the UI on close,
and not to when we don't want it to.
- Closing background apps no longer reloads the entire UI
- Responding to an NT Message will no longer open the UI on your face.

Ladies, Gentlemen, Gamers. You're probably wondering why I've called you
all here (through the automatic reviewer request system). So, mineral
balance! Mineral balance is less a balance and more of a nervous white
dude juggling spinning plates on a high-wire on his first day. The fact
it hasn't failed after going on this long is a miracle in and of itself.
This PR does not change mineral balance. What this does is moves over
every individual cost, both in crafting recipes attached to an object
over to a define based system. We have 3 defines:
`sheet_material_amount=2000` . Stock standard mineral sheet. This being
our central mineral unit, this is used for all costs 2000+.
`half_sheet_material_amount=1000` . Same as above, but using iron rods
as our inbetween for costs of 1000-1999.
`small_material_amount=100` . This hits 1-999. This covers... a
startlingly large amount of the codebase. It's feast or famine out here
in terms of mineral costs as a result, items are either sheets upon
sheets, or some fraction of small mats.
Shout out to riot darts for being the worst material cost in the game. I
will not elaborate.
Regardless, this has no functional change, but it sets the groundwork
for making future changes to material costs much, MUCH easier, and moves
over to a single, standardized set of units to help enforce coding
standards on new items, and will bring up lots of uncomfortable balance
questions down the line.
For now though, this serves as some rough boundaries on how items costs
are related, and will make adjusting these values easier going forward.
Except for foam darts.
I did round up foam darts.
Adjusting mineral balance on the macro scale will be as simple as
changing the aforementioned mineral defines, where the alternative is a
rats nest of magic number defines. ~~No seriously, 11.25 iron for a foam
dart are you kidding me what is the POINT WHY NOT JUST MAKE IT 11~~
Items individual numbers have not been adjusted yet, but we can
standardize how the conversation can be held and actually GET SOMEWHERE
on material balance as opposed to throwing our hands up or ignoring it
for another 10 years.
## About The Pull Request
Tablet UIs are now changed when opening/closing an app, instead of
constantly checking for a UI change every ui update.
Program UI acts no longer call parent, as it was unnecessary, Computers

Fixes a ton of problems with static data not updating, such as in
Messenger, ID management, Siliconnect, and Chat client
Chat Client's Admin mode also works again, which was broken when
accesses to check was turned into a list.

## About The Pull Request
This is a continuation of
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/74085 - I announced in the
comments there that this would be my next PR, and this is it.
Removes SSnetwork, ``/datum/ntnet``,
``/datum/component/ntnet_interface``, ``var/network_root_id``, the
network unit test, and a lot of other things related to networks.
- NTNet circuits now check for an Ntnet relay, and uses signals to
operate.
- Logs in Wirecarp is now only for PDA and Ntnet Relay things, so you
can no longer see what ruins exist using it (why should Wirecarp know
that Oldstation spawned? The flavor is that they dont know its there).
- Removed it from MULEbots entirely, I don't think it even did anything
for them? Botkeeper seems to work without it, so it's possibly there
from pre-tgui PDAs.
- Moves assigning random names to a base proc instead of being tied to
network, this is things like random-naming scrubbers/vents. The behavior
hasn't changed at all.
- Makes Ntos work for consoles when relays are down, as the comments
said they're supposed to (because they're wired). I think this was an
accidental change on my part, so this is a revert of that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ntnet is ancient code that hasn't given us much that we can't do with
already existing alternatives, we've been slowly moving away from it for
init times, and though a large portion of that was limited to airlocks,
I still don't think this is a system worth keeping around.
It's way too complex to expect feature coders to do anything with it,
and too old with better alternatives for anyone to want to improve any
of it.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Computers are now properly connected to Ethernet, and can use Ntos
when Relays are down.
refactor: Removes Ntnet and Ntnet interfaces, which was only used by
Ntnet circuits (which now directly checks for a Relay to work) and
MULEbots, which did nothing with it.
balance: Wirecarp no longer tells you what ruins spawned in a round,
instead it's limited to PDA logs, and tells you the source too. This
means the RD can catch someone running illegal programs if they don't
make any attempt at hiding it.
qol: Wirecarp logs is now set to save 300 at once, instead of 100 and
being increased to 300 by the RD during the round. This is pretty
insignificant, since there's no reason to NOT want as many logs as
possible.

## About The Pull Request
Removes NtNet softwaredownload/communication because they did nothing,
so this also removes the feature to shut them off from Wirecarp
I removed tablets from being added to networks, Tablets already generate
logs for actions they do, which is already enough for the effects it has
in-game (just being visible to Wirecarp), once NtNet is deleted from
everything else then we can move it to ModPCs and limit logging to only
ModPC actions.
Fixes shutting off ntnet relays from Wirecarp, now you can properly shut
off Ntnet, and the warning that it kicks you out of the program is now
true.
Gives the Holodeck it's own network root define and fixes Syndicate
network showing up on Wirecarp
Wirecarp's PDA logs now shows the source of an action
## Why It's Good For The Game
Moves ModPCs further from NTNet so we can move towards deleting it
entirely
Makes Wirecarp more responsible and trustworthy
Removes useless stuff that never gets used, simplifying a overthought
overcomplicated system.

🆑
balance: Wirecarp now properly shuts off NtNet remotely.

they were pretty worthless.

On the tin, doing it like this means we can reduce our overall line
fingerprint whenever we have to add two or more traits from the same
source on the same target. Especially helps when we get to the 4+ range
of traits, a breath of fresh air even.
Doesn't mean we have to do for loops, as that's already handled within
the define as well. I replaced some of the checks with `length()`
checks, let me know if I should switch it over to something else (maybe
`islist()`)? We stack_trace whenever we're not passed a list reference
on purpose, and sometimes var/lists are null by default (or just empty,
making this redundant).
## Why It's Good For The Game
I commonly feel the urge to write "use `AddTraits()`" or something in
reviews, then am sad when I remember it doesn't exist. I will no longer
be sad.
Can ensure a lot more trait safety as well by using static lists- when
both ADD_TRAIT_LIST and REMOVE_TRAIT_LIST re-use the same list, you are
confident (from a static point of view) that everything that you want to
be adding/removing works.
I may have missed a few things where this could be used, but both macros
implemented in this PR still use the same framework that was being used
in the last four years- so stuff won't break if left untouched. Just a
nifty new tool for developers.
also fixed up some code in the area, numerous bugs were found and
exploded

- Tablets now refresh their page when changing programs, this means the
UI will no longer close and reopen itself several times (or even have
several UIs open if shit broke hard enough).
- Removed tablet's attack self because interact already does everything
it had to do.
- Header programs now close when minimized (as there's no button to
close them in the main menu.
- Removed a lot of program UI stuff, it's now handled by the PC itself,
such as header data and ui host.
- Cut off asset sending from TGUI into it's own proc so I can re-send
assets when changing programs
- Added an ejection button for machine computers
- Fixed ID not ejecting into the user's hand when using 'Eject ID'
- Fixes a minor runtime when opening the MODsuit application without a
MODsuit already connected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes some bugs that I found with tablets
UIS now won't be flickering as bad in front of them, or have
inconsistent placement (like when you move your main menu UI, go to
Messenger, then it's back to the center of the screen).

## Changelog
🆑
fix: Being in an application now properly uses the tablet's battery.
fix: Messenger and Themify apps now close when minimized, so don't count
towards the running app limit.
fix: Tablet UIs will now no longer spam open/close the UI when changing
applications
fix: Using the Eject ID button on tablets now ejects into your hand.
fix: Computers now have an Eject ID button
refactor: Cut down a lot of copy paste in tablet & program code, now
it's mostly done by the tablet.

## About The Pull Request
NtOS' downloading app is the only application where PC device theme is
actually used by the app directly, instead of handled by NtOS Window. I
forgot about this, and removed it from the data, breaking the TGUI page.
Also two edits;
- NtosWindow now takes their theme directly from PC_device_theme, this
means we're not relying anymore on apps to individually give the theme
they want to have, and tablets will get alerts of downloading illegal
programs if they are on any theme but the syndicate one (instead of not
getting the message if theyre on any but the nt one).
- Removes bad uses of ``as anything`` on stored files, because it holds
more than just programs (like ordnance data).
## Why It's Good For The Game
the NtOS app now works again, sorry for the issue.

## Changelog

fix: NtOS program downloader now works again, and will now properly
alert you of downloading illegal ROMs if you change your theme to
anything that isn't Syndicate.
fix: NtOS themes are now recognized by all windows.
/🆑
This builds on what #69790 did and improved the code even further.
Notable things:
- `Topic()` is a deprecated proc in our codebase (replaced with
Javascript tgui) so it makes sense to rename `canUseTopic` to
`can_perform_action` which is more straightforward in what it does.
- Positional and named arguments have been converted into a easier to
use `action_bitflag`
- The bitflags adds some new checks you can use like: `NEED_GRAVITY |
NEED_LITERACY | NEED_LIGHT` when you want to perform an action.
- Redundant, duplicate, or dead code has been removed.
- Fixes several runtimes where `canUseTopic` was being called without a
proper target (IV drips, gibber, food processor)
- Better documentation for the proc and bitflags with examples
## About The Pull Request
This is a port/rework of
https://github.com/yogstation13/Yogstation/pull/15735 - I changed a lot
of how it acted (some themes are locked behind maintenance apps).
The original author allowed this port to happen, and I really liked how
it looked there so I'd like to add it here.
### Applications
Removes the hardware configurator application, as all it did was show
you your space and battery now that all hardware was removed. These are
things your PC does by default, so it was just a waste of space.
Adds a Theme manager application instead, which allows you to change
your PDA's theme at will.
Adds a new Maintenance application that will give a new theme, however
it will also increase the size of the theme manager app itself as it's
bloatware.
### Menu
There's now a bar at the top of the menu showing 'special' tablet apps
which, for one reason or another, should stand out from the rest of the
apps. Currently this is PDA messenger and the Theme manager
Flashlight and Flashlight color is now only an icon, and is shown on the
same line as Updating you ID

### Themes
Adds a lot of themes to choose from, although SOME are hidden behind
Maintenance applications, which will give you a random theme. These are
bloatware however, so they come with some extra cost to the app's
required space storage.
Themes are now supported on ALL APPLICATIONS! If you have a computer
theme, you will have that theme in EVERY app you enter, rather than just
a select few.
ALSO also, emagging the tablet will automatically set & unlock the
Syndicate theme, which makes your PDA obvious but you can disguise it if
you wish through just re-painting it to something else.

### Preferences
This also adds a pref for theme, reworking the ringtone code to work
with it as well. I also removed 2 entirely unused PDA prefs just 'cause.
Screenshot not up-to-date, they now have proper names.

### Other stuff
Made defines for device_themes
Added support for special app-side checks to download files
Fixed programs downloading themselves TWICE because defines all had the
same definition
Removes the Chemistry computer disk as it was empty due to chemistry
app's removal
Removes the 'run_emag' proc, since apps can directly refer to the
computer to check for emag status instead.
Moved over and added better documentation on data computer files, and
moved the ordnance ones to the same file as the others.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It makes PDAs a lot more customizable while adding more features to
maintenance applications. I think the themes look cool and it fits with
PDAs being "personal" anyways.
I also explained most of my other arguments in the about section, such
as the hardware configuration application.
## Changelog
🆑 Chubbygummibear & JohnFulpWillard
add: A ton of new NtOS themes, which are accessible by the new Themify
application that comes with all PCs.
add: Emagging a PC now defaults it to the Syndicate option (and adds it
to go back to it if you wish)
add: There's a new maintenance app that gives you rarer themes
qol: The NtOS Main menu was moved around, added "header" applications
that are shown where the Flashlight is, such as your Theme manager and
PDA messenger.
code: Made defines for device_themes
code: Added support for special app-side checks to download files
code: Removes the 'run_emag' proc, since apps can directly refer to the
computer to check for emag status instead.
fix: Programs no longer download twice.
del: Removes the Chemistry computer disk as it was empty due to
chemistry app's removal

## About The Pull Request
CtrlShift LMB screentip key now says you'll remove the disk instead of
the drive, to be more accurate to what it does. Also checks for a disk
when you try to add a new one in, preventing new disks from deleting the
old by swapping disks instead.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Bug fixes for feature freeze, swag
Adds a better description and prevents the deletion of disks.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Nuclear PDAs now start with all the standard PDA programs + Fission 360.
Their NT Software Hub starts emagged, so they still have access to all
syndicate programs. Additionally, Nuclear PDAs are now long-ranged,
allowing operatives to download ~~donksoft arcade~~ useful programs
while still on base.
Default programs:

Hidden from others on Messenger (so as to not give the ops away):

Downloading illegal programs while on base:

Fixes#72977
## Why It's Good For The Game
Loneops no longer waste over 1/5th of their TC when buying Detomatix, an
edge case related to midround traitors is resolved, and new nukies can
use the Detomatix with their starting PDA, rather than This One Specific
PDA Hidden In A Locker, which is more intuitive.
## Changelog
🆑 Vladoricious
qol: Nuclear PDAs now actually work like a PDA should, with the power to
download normal programs and delete them too. The nerds over at Cybersun
even installed a new "Why Fy Dry Ver", allowing you to download your
programs while still on the base!
fix: As a result, Lone Ops will no longer get scammed out of over 1/5th
of their TC when buying the Detomatix cartridge and Midround Traitors
with stolen Nuclear PDAs will not be denied an uplink.

About The Pull Request
Sprites were generously made by https://github.com/Tramzz
This was a branch I've been putting off for months because my hatred for tablet apps brought me to removing computer parts, tablets, and ntnet, however I've now returned (after a lot more procrastination).
Adds Maintenance tablet applications to the game, so far there's only three of them, for proof of concept;
The health analyzer app (the chem analyzer part is removed entirely) move away from being given to medical/geneticists/detectives/RD.
There is on exception, which is the CMO, who gets to have the application on their tablet roundstart. Maybe it could be given to their role disk as well?

MODsuit control application:

Maintenance applications stand out from normal tablet apps because they can't be downloaded off the App store, and instead can only be found in maintenance, with a one-use download, cloning the application from a disk to a computer, or vice versa, will delete the old one, meaning you can only have one application at once.
Why It's Good For The Game
This is more as a proof of concept for maintenance applications, but I also think that the analyzer application wasn't really that good as an app, you should either use a health analyzer or the wand in front of medbay, you shouldn't just have one in your tablet at all times because it makes it lame if your analyzer is stolen.
Changelog
cl JohnFulpWillard, sprites by Tramzz
add: Added Maintenance tablet applications, applications that can't be cloned or downloaded from the store, instead you can find one app in maintenance.
balance: The Analyzer tablet application is also a maintenance tablet application now.

## About The Pull Request
The NTmessenger has been passing along itself to the send_virus proc
instead of the computer it is running on, which has caused runtimes, due
to computer programs not having certain variables. In addition, the
send_virus override for the frame cartrdige was missing an argument.
Lastly, the uplink code has not been actually assigned to the uplink, so
once it has been closed, it stayed closed. These have been fixed.
I have checked the other viruses, they seem to be working even after my
changes.

## About The Pull Request
Adds the modular computer subsystem which is meant to replace mod PC's
reliance on networks and radios, specifically the network subsystem, the
ntnet interface, and /datum/ntnet. This PR removes station_root ntnets
entirely, but I tried to keep it small.
This PR also removes a ton of unused vars and defines, such as NTNet
channels that were unused (peer2peer and systemcontrol), atmos networks
(as they were removed a while ago) and NTNet var on relays (its stated
purpose is so admins can see it through varedits, but that's useless now
that it's a subsystem)
I also removed ``setting_disabled`` as a thing the RD can do, it turned
off ALL ntnet systems. However, this was when there were 4 different
ones, now that there's only 2 I thought it was redundant and he could
just click 2 buttons to close them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
``/datum/ntnet``, ``/datum/component/ntnet_interface``, and
``/datum/controller/subsystem/networks`` are all old-code messes that
depend on eachother and is hard for people to understand what exactly it
adds to the game. 90% of its features is allowing the Wirecarp app to
see all the ruins that spawned in-game, which I don't think is something
that we even WANT (why does the RD need to know that oldstation spawned?
Why should they know this anyway??)
This hopefully starts to simplify networks/ntnet to make it easier to
remove in the future, because surely there are better alternatives than
**this**
## Changelog

refactor: Modular computers NTnet and applications run on its own
subsystem, please report any new bugs you may find.

## About The Pull Request
- Rewrites how action button icons are generated.
- Prior, generated an action button icon was fairly simplistic and
didn't allow for many changes. Someone recently added the option for
overlays to be generated over action buttons, but the framework was very
weak.
- Now, action button icon generation is split across multiple procs,
like atom icon updates.
- The background of action buttons are underlays
- The actual icon of the action button is the icon and icon state of the
action button movable
- The rim / border of the button is an overlay, layered overtop the
button.
- Allows observers to see what action buttons a mob has. They even
update in real time! And no, the observers cannot click on them.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Runechat text of action buttons are no longer hidden behind the actual
icon. This was very ugly with cooldown actions, as the cooldown text was
hidden behind a lot of spell icons.
- Cuts down on a lot of icon duplication.
- Gives much finer control over action button icons
- Saves a bit of processing from generating full action button icons
when not necessary. Not implemented in many places, but is in some.


## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
add: Observers can now see what action buttons an observed mob has. No,
you can't click them. And no it doesn't show EVERY action.
refactor: Refactored how action button icons are generated. Some actions
will now use a colored border when active instead of just turning green.
Cooldown text will also appear on the top layer of actions too. If you
see any funky lookin' icons (namely their borders), let me know.
refactor: Bluespace Golem's teleport action is now a cooldown action.
fix: Construct actions go to the middle of the screen like expected.
