## About The Pull Request
This PR integrates circuits for modular computers and a good bits of
their programs.
The peculiarity here is that modular computers have no fixed amount of
unremovable components (except the base one with just a couple ports for
now), instead, they're added and removed along with programs. With a few
exceptions (such as the messenger and signaler), for these program
circuits to work, their associated program has to be either open or in
the background.
For a reason or another, not all programs have a circuit associated to
them, still, however the programs with a circuit are still a handful.
They are:
- Nanotrasen Pay System
- Notepad
- SiliConnect
- WireCarp
- MODsuit Control
- Spectre Meter
- Direct Messenger*
- LifeConnect
- Custodial Locator
- Fission360
- Camera
- Status Display
- SignalCommander
*By the by, sending messages has a cooldown, so it shouldn't be as
spammy. If it turns out to not be enough, I can make it so messages from
circuit will be ignored by other messenger circuits.
The PR is no longer WIP.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe modular computers could make for some interesting setups with
circuits, since they're fairly flexible and stocked with features unlike
many other appliances, therefore also a speck more abusable, though
limits, cooldowns, logging and sanitization have been implemented to
keep it in check.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Modular Computers now support integrated circuits. What can be done
with them depends on the programs installed and whether they're running
(open or background).
add: Modular Consoles (the machinery) now have a small backup cell they
draw power from if the power goes out.

## About The Pull Request
This is an update that touches many more things all at once (compared to
my other PRs) meant to make PDAs in general feel more consistent and not
take away from one of the experiences we want to encourage: interaction
between players.
1. Replaced all checks of a 'pda' with a 'modular pc'. This means
technically (though not done in-game currently) other modpcs can hold an
uplink, and microwaves can charge laptops.
2. Speaking of microwave, they now don't break and require
deconstruction if the cell is removed mid-charge.
3. When a Mod PC is out of power, it will now allow the Messenger to
work (which now also doesn't consume any additional power), if the app
exists on the PC. Here's a video demonstration
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/7ae12f81-a271-49b8-95fa-2ba54d2e2d1f
4. Flashlights can't be turned on while the cell is dead
5. I replaced a bunch of program vars with ``program_flags`` and renamed
``usage_flags`` to ``can_run_on_flags``.
6. Added a debug modPC that has every app installed by default. Mafia
had some issues in the past that were unknown because Mafia wasn't
preinstalled with any tablet so was never in create & destroy nor in any
other unit test. This was just an easy solution I had, but PDAs should
get more in-depth unit tests in the future for running apps n stuff- I
just wanted to make sure no other apps were broken/harddeling.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently when a PDA dies, its only use is to reply to PDA messages sent
to you, since you can still reply to them. Instead of just fixing it and
telling players to cope, I thought it would be nice to allow PDA
Messenger to still work, as it is a vital app.
You can call it some emergency power mode or whatever, I don't really
mind the reason behind why it is this way.
When I made cells used more on PDAs, my main goal was to encourage
upgrading your PDA and/or limiting how many apps you use at once, I did
not want this to hit on players who use it as a form of interaction.
This is the best of both worlds, I think.
The rest of the changes is just for modularity, if some downstream wants
to add tablets, phone computers, or whatever the hell else, they can
still get just as far as PDAs should be able to get to, hopefully.
## Changelog
🆑
add: PDAs with a dead power cell are now limited to using their
Messenger app.
fix: Microwaves now stop charging PDAs if the cell was removed
mid-charge.
fix: Microwaves can now charge laptops.
fix: PDA Flashlights can't be turned on while the PDA is dead.
fix: You can now hold a laptop up to a camera (if it has a notekeeper
app installed) like PDAs already could.

## About The Pull Request
I deleted the documentation file of ModPCs because it was barebones and
had no new information to give that autodoc couldn't. Just to make sure
this isn't a net-negative, I improved on much of the autodoc and
comments in general around ModPC code to help people understand easier
what's going on around it.
I also renamed vars that were too easily confused with other var names,
and reworked the ntnet downloader a little;
- it now has a search bar
- it now has more sections to scroll through, hopefully making it more
accurate and easy to find what you need.
- also organized the apps that were previously shoved in 'other'.
- i also upgraded it to a .tsx because why not

sources of confusion within ModPC code, and improves NTNet Downloader,
something I've procrastinated on doing for a very long time now.

## About The Pull Request
I made this to help me move more towards my goals [laid out
here](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA) which currently doesn't
have much interest.
This makes the Destructive Analyzer use a little neat TGUI menu instead
of its old HTML one. I also touch a lot of science stuff and a little
experimentor stuff, so let me explain a bit:
Old iterations of Science had different items that you can use to boost
nodes through deconstruction. This has been removed, and its only
feature is the auto-unlocking of nodes (that is; making them visible to
the R&D console). I thought that instead of keeping this deprecated code
around, I would rework it a little to make it clear what we actually use
it for (unhiding nodes).
All vars and procs that mentioned this have been renamed or reworked to
make more sense now.
Experimentor stuff shares a lot with the destructive analyzer, so I had
to mess with that a bit to keep its decayed corpse of deprecated code,
functional.
I also added context tips to the destructive analyzer, and added the
ability to AltClick to remove the inserted item. Removing items now also
plays a little sound because it was kinda lame.
Also, balloon alerts.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Moves a shitty machine to TGUI so it is slightly less shitty, now it's
more direct and compact with more player-feedback.
Helps me with a personal project and yea
### Video demonstration
I show off connecting the machine to R&D Servers, but I haven't changed
the behavior of that and the roundstart analyzers are connected to
servers by default.

## About The Pull Request
- replaces the ntnet_relays global list with ``get_machines_by_type``
- renames ``transfer_access`` var on PDA to ``download_access`` &
``required_access`` to ``run_access`` to better describe what they do,
because on more than one ocassion I've confused myself with the two
terms and ended up doing something unintentional (see:
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/74269)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills a useless global list and makes pda code a little less confusing.
## Changelog
Nothing player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
Mafia is now friggin playable from the PDA, I also changed other stuff
too
- You can't use abilities on dead people if you're not supposed to (cant
kill the same person over and over)
- Changelings cant kill other Changelings
- Changelings can now only talk to eachother at night, rather than using
:j
- Everyone starts spawned in the center of the map, since people playing
on PDA can't move their characters. This is so everyone can hear PDA
users in person, as I don't want the chat log to be mandatory.
To do this, all messages you are meant to be able to see, is now logged
for you to see in your Mafia panel. This essentially means that people
playing through the PDA get a downgraded version of it, but I don't know
how much larger I want this UI to be.
Playing Mafia through the PDA will not tell you of other players ahead
of time when signing up (as it shows ckeys + pdas), but they can see the
names in-game. Unfortunately this means we'll have to remove your
customization coming with you, to prevent using it to tell who is dead
in round.
Things I am missing
- Program overlays on PDA/Laptop/Computer
- Icon for the app's header while a game is active
I'm not a spriter and can't make either of these
This is the new UI
I also fixed alert calls for PDAs and stuff
and removed the X at the top on computers since they had no battery
Looks a little better now hopefully 👍
## Why It's Good For The Game
- The current Arcade app sucks, and is a solo game. This is much more
entertaining and you can talk to others in it, which is swag as fuck.
- There's a larger potential playerbase for the Minigame making it more
likely to be played.
- Sets groundwork for a better version of
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/75879
- Adds more suspense and teamwork in the minigame.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things and I expect to be asked to atomize some stuff.
### Oldstation Additions
Oldstation now has their own research server, generating their own
points. To help alleviate major concerns, they have a few stuff to help
with this:
- They now have a pre-built operating computer
- They now have an Autopsy scanner
- They now have access to Experimental Dissection
Experimental Dissection is the old dissection, giving research points in
the form of paper notes on completion. They must be turned in to the RND
server (only works on the Oldstation one, so you can't abuse this) for
points. This was an idea I've had for some time, as Oldstation is used
somewhat as a representation of how ss13 used to be (through its use of
directional windows (before they got removed, but I'd like to bring them
back), old IDs, RTGs, and old engines before they got removed from the
game fully)
Considering there are 11 alien mobs in Oldstation, there is 27.5k
research points to get from alien corpses, enough to bring them up to
speed with whatever they wish to do. This is their 'alternative' for
experiments (which they can still do if they want, but it is very hard
to do, outside of dissection which is needed for the node).
This surgery isn't repeatable, isn't upgradable, and isn't removed by
being healed. It is not mutually exclusive with autopsy (so you can't
ruin yourself doing the wrong surgery).
### Other stuff
- Ninjas now drain RND points from the server they drain from, rather
than always hitting science
- Syncing machines to research roundstart is now a macro, and now
immediately syncs to a server on your Z-level. Machines will
automatically connect to the Science servers if none else are available.
### non-player facing
- Science, Admin, and Oldstation techwebs are now no longer vars on
research, but stored in research's list of techwebs.
- ``get_available_servers`` and ``find_valid_servers`` are now procs on
the research subsystem, rather than the experisci component.
- Oldstation code has been split into separate files.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Oldstation is one of my favorite ruins, but it is also one of the
largest complaints for RND (along with Golems) because they use the
station's Science nodes & points (I recently tried de-hardcoding Science
stuff to help prepare for this, but I didn't get everything in advance).
The complaint stems from these ghost roles, who are meant to be a fun
activity to do while waiting for the next round, using the station's
research points for their own stuff, completely untrackable unless
someone goes out of their way to grief a ghost spawn just for using
points to get things they need. These roles make their own servers to
drain the station, and I find that unfun and quite boring for everyone-
it's also not very flavorful, why would Charliestation know of the
station's RND to take advantage of it?
This hopes to fix those issues, make Charliestation more worthwhile, and
more flavorful.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Getting a node researched now properly makes it no longer hidden.
fix: Ninjas draining RD servers now drains it from the connected
techweb, rather than sniping Science.
balance: Machines will first try to connect to a techweb with servers on
their z-level, with the Science techweb remaining as fallback.
add: Oldstation RND, comes with their own Techweb and special surgery to
gain research points through dissecting Xenomorphs.

## 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
are the ones that should be calling it.
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.
Turns a few lists in Robocontrol into static ones when we aren't
changing anything, and makes it actually scan your ID's access.
Fixes budget ordering being unable to show the cart/call the cargo
shuttle.
## Why It's Good For The Game
While I can't seem to find a single issue report on any of the above,
these are still problems that should be fixed.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: SiliConnect can download borg logs again.
fix: The RD can once again enable Admin mode on Wirecarp
fix: NT IRN can once again see the shopping cart and call the cargo
shuttle.
fix: Chat Client, ID Management and Messenger should now update their
UIs properly.
code: PDAs will hopefully not lag as much when clicking on buttons (such
as in ID management).
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
- 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).
Video of it in action

## 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
Currently all machines, if the config to not have a techweb link is on,
will set their node to science even if they were meant to be connected
to another (like through subtypes). This fixes that by checking to
ensure they don't have a techweb connected already before giving them a
new one.
Also as a minor fix, RD consoles will now properly add themselves to the
list of accessing RD consoles if they aren't linking to the default.
This list currently does nothing but I can see good uses of it in the
future.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes an error that was found on a downstream, it's a worthwhile fix
that thankfully was caught this early.
## Changelog
Nothing player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
This is an expanding of
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/69708
Adds a config to not connect machines to a techweb at the start of a
round
Adds the ability to multitool a server to get its techweb in its buffer,
which can then be used on machines to sync them.
Adds support for some machines to not cry when they don't have a techweb
linked to it, in case they actually don't.
If the config to not have machines connected to the science server is
enabled, research servers will make their own techwebs instead. This is
barebones though and would need more work if this option is used.
For misc stuff:
- I replaced checking ``GLOB.machines`` for research servers, to instead
check ``SSresearch.servers``, where we can use ``as anything``.
- Removed unused vars on the RD server control
- I renamed the operating computer's .dm file to remove the capitalized
letter from it. It's now operating_computer instead of Operations.
## Why It's Good For The Game
This is adding support for 2 different cases that can be used in the
future:
1. Off-station roles, we can make roles like Oldstation have their own
techweb so they don't ruin science's efforts, or use their advanced
research to get things we don't want, or even possibly have some
blacklist webs for ghost roles (like teleporters) so that way we don't
need to have this dance where we have to give them a very specific
amount of materials for them to do things while not being able to get a
teleporter and leaving. I heard discussions that people wanted this a
while back, and one of the main things preventing this from happening is
the lack of support. Hopefully this is encouragement to make it a
reality, because I think it would be a really cool expansion of ghost
roles and a good way to prevent them from messing with the round in
progress.
2. Downstreams who want to do different things with Science. Personally
I made this PR with voidcrew(shiptest) in mind and think this would make
their lives easier. I didn't expand too much on this because I'm leaving
up mostly to the downstreams to figure out what they want to do with
these systems.
## Changelog
This generally isn't really player facing, since most of the changes
would only come into effect if the config is enabled??
🆑
fix: Research servers now only show servers connected to their techweb.
/🆑
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.

* Removes HDD's entirely
HDDs have been removed, though the code for it is still currently lingering as it's required for portable disks. I'll have to find a solution to this one day, but as I am going to sleep, this is a problem for future me.

* update path :D
* Fixes to programs and icons
* Ready for review now
I read over everything I did and tried to fix anything I saw wasn't done right. Hopefully better comments now.
* merge conflict fix
* can't win them all
* takes viruses into account in paths, fixes it in snowcabin
* Renames the updatepaths
* removes the qdel loop
* accidentally new'ed programs twice
* Fix program's computer var
* destroy pen and disk, dont run kill program on something killed
* more fixes for pens and idle threads
* Fixes PDAs installing apps twice.
* simplifies inserted disk & PDA disk
* fuck's sake
* Use istype instead
* revert
* Revert "revert"
This reverts commit 9ede628c6fef9c7c86417234f6d8ada1ff9e2fef.
* why did that happen
* Update code/modules/modular_computers/computers/item/tablet.dm

About The Pull Request
Merges ordnance data disk and frontier data disk, since the ordnance data disk's description says it is for ordnance-related stuff, yet doesnt have the main app people need to do Ordnance, which I found weird.
I additionally moved the NT Frontier app to the rest of the programs folder, and renamed it Frontier so it is easier to find.
Why It's Good For The Game
This allows the semi-public ordnance data disk (as they are found in vending machines) to actually contain the ordnance app it claims it provides, making it easier for an Atmospherics Technician (or anyone, really) to get the app needed to upload gasses they make, as experiments for their nodes.
This makes it easier for Engineering to do Engineering-related experiments to get Engineering-related tech nodes, much like Medical can by doing Dissection surgeries, while also giving more use to the Frontier's ability to put authors, since now Science and Atmospherics can see eachother completing experiments and maybe even try to outdo the other.
Changelog

balance: Ordnance data disks now have the Frontier app on them, and has entirely replaced Frontier data disks.
