96d7e9c690 Invisibility refactor (#78908)
This adds a tracker for sources of invisibility and a priority system. I
needed this for another thing so I'm doing this first since it touches a
lot of code. As for the bugs fixed in the changelog, it's only what I
noticed while going through everything and there's likely a few more
things fixed with this. This should be testmerged for a while, I'll
bring this out of draft when it feels safe.

admin: Invisimin can now be used on mobs that are already invisible,
whether through temporary or permanent effects.
fix: Monkeyize/Humanize mob transformations no longer permanently reveal
invisible mobs if they had effects making them invisible otherwise.
fix: Objects with the undertile element that have been made invisible
through other means are no longer revealed by being uncovered.

4d6a8bc537 515 Compatibility (#71161)
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`.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with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.

a625fc8038 Cleans up the fallout from plane cube (#70235)
* Cleans up the fallout from plane cube

Alright.
Makes cleaning bubbles respect planes
Adds support for updating overlays on move, fixing an issue with pointing at items
Adds better error messages for failing to provide args for mutable_appearance()
Fixes a bug where string overlays were not respecting insertion order

* Adds documentation for offset spokesman and offset_const

* Better stack trace

* Removes some redundant uses of cached MAs

At this scale, attempting to cache MAs like this has 0 impact on anything
And just makes things more messy then they need to be

* ensures fullscreen objects START offset, so things are always proper

* ensures chatmessages always have the right offset

* fixes compile

* whoops, the above lighting plane should actually be ABOVE the lighting plane

* fixes compile, also cleans up the fire overlay a tad

* Adds a unit test for plane masters that are shrunk by multiz being double shrunk

This is slightly hacky because of how I'm handing the plane master
group, but it's not THAT bad, and gives me some real good coverage

* Properly targets the seethrough plane at the game world plate. This fixes unit tests, and also just makes more sense

* whoops

* oh

* adds datum support for allocate(), cleans up a harddel from testing

* Makes camera chunks index at 1, and also makes them support non powers of two sizes, since that was unneeded

* fixes runtime in allocate

23bfdec8f4 Multiz Rework: Human Suffering Edition (Contains PLANE CUBE) (#69115)
About The Pull Request

I've reworked multiz. This was done because our current implementation of multiz flattens planes down into just the openspace plane. This breaks any effects we attach to plane masters (including lighting), but it also totally kills the SIDE_MAP map format, which we NEED for wallening (A major 3/4ths resprite of all wall and wall adjacent things, making them more then one tile high. Without sidemap we would be unable to display things both in from of and behind objects on map. Stupid.)

This required MASSIVE changes. Both to all uses of the plane var for reasons I'll discuss later, and to a ton of different systems that interact with rendering.

I'll do my best to keep this compact, but there's only so much I can do. Sorry brother.
Core idea

OK: first thing.
vis_contents as it works now squishes the planes of everything inside it down into the plane of the vis_loc.
This is bad. But how to do better?

It's trivially easy to make copies of our existing plane masters but offset, and relay them to the bottom of the plane above. Not a problem. The issue is how to get the actual atoms on the map to "land" on them properly.

We could use FLOAT_PLANE to offset planes based off how they're being seen, in theory this would allow us to create lens for how objects are viewed.
But that's not a stable thing to do, because properly "landing" a plane on a desired plane master would require taking into account every bit of how it's being seen, would inherently break this effect.

Ok so we need to manually edit planes based off "z layer" (IE: what layer of a z stack are you on).

That's the key conceit of this pr. Implementing the plane cube, and ensuring planes are always offset properly.
Everything else is just gravy.
About the Plane Cube

Each plane master (except ones that opt out) is copied down by some constant value equal to the max absolute change between the first and the last plane.
We do this based off the max z stack size detected by SSmapping. This is also where updates come from, and where all our updating logic will live.

As mentioned, plane masters can choose to opt out of being mirrored down. In this case, anything that interacts with them assuming that they'll be offset will instead just get back the valid plane value. This works for render targets too, since I had to work them into the system as well.

Plane masters can also be temporarily hidden from the client's screen. This is done as an attempt at optimization, and applies to anything used in niche cases, or planes only used if there's a z layer below you.
About Plane Master Groups

BYOND supports having different "maps" on screen at once (IE: groups of items/turfs/etc)
Plane masters cannot cover 2 maps at once, since their location is determined by their screen_loc.
So we need to maintain a mirror of each plane for every map we have open.

This was quite messy, so I've refactored it (and maps too) to be a bit more modular.

Rather then storing a list of plane masters, we store a list of plane master group datums.
Each datum is in charge of the plane masters for its particular map, both creating them, and managing them.

Like I mentioned, I also refactored map views. Adding a new mapview is now as simple as newing a /atom/movable/screen/map_view, calling generate_view with the appropriate map id, setting things you want to display in its vis_contents, and then calling display_to on it, passing in the mob to show ourselves to.

Much better then the hardcoded pattern we used to use. So much duplicated code man.

Oh and plane master controllers, that system we have that allows for applying filters to sets of plane masters? I've made it use lookups on plane master groups now, rather then hanging references to all impacted planes. This makes logic easier, and prevents the need to manage references and update the controllers.

In addition, I've added a debug ui for plane masters.
It allows you to view all of your own plane masters and short descriptions of what they do, alongside tools for editing them and their relays.

It ALSO supports editing someone elses plane masters, AND it supports (in a very fragile and incomplete manner) viewing literally through someone else's eyes, including their plane masters. This is very useful, because it means you can debug "hey my X is yorked" issues yourself, on live.

In order to accomplish this I have needed to add setters for an ungodly amount of visual impacting vars. Sight flags, eye, see_invis, see_in_dark, etc.

It also comes with an info dump about the ui, and plane masters/relays in general.

Sort of on that note. I've documented everything I know that's niche/useful about our visual effects and rendering system. My hope is this will serve to bring people up to speed on what can be done more quickly, alongside making my sin here less horrible.
See https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/tgstation/blob/multiz-hell/.github/guides/VISUALS.md.
"Landing" planes

Ok so I've explained the backend, but how do we actually land planes properly?
Most of the time this is really simple. When a plane var is set, we need to provide some spokesperson for the appearance's z level. We can use this to derive their z layer, and thus what offset to use.

This is just a lot of gruntwork, but it's occasionally more complex.
Sometimes we need to cache a list of z layer -> effect, and then use that.
Also a LOT of updating on z move. So much z move shit.

Oh. and in order to make byond darkness work properly, I needed to add SEE_BLACKNESS to all sight flags.
This draws darkness to plane 0, which means I'm able to relay it around and draw it on different z layers as is possible. fun darkness ripple effects incoming someday

I also need to update mob overlays on move.
I do this by realiizing their appearances, mutating their plane, and then readding the overlay in the correct order.

The cost of this is currently 3N. I'm convinced this could be improved, but I've not got to it yet.
It can also occasionally cause overlays to corrupt. This is fixed by laying a protective ward of overlays.Copy in the sand, but that spell makes the compiler confused, so I'll have to bully lummy about fixing it at some point.
Behavior changes

We've had to give up on the already broken gateway "see through" effect. Won't work without managing gateway plane masters or something stupid. Not worth it.
So instead we display the other side as a ui element. It's worse, but not that bad.

Because vis_contents no longer flattens planes (most of the time), some uses of it now have interesting behavior.
The main thing that comes to mind is alert popups that display mobs. They can impact the lighting plane.
I don't really care, but it should be fixable, I think, given elbow grease.

Ah and I've cleaned up layers and plane defines to make them a bit easier to read/reason about, at least I think.

77c2b7f50c Biddle Verbs: Queues the Most Expensive Verbs for the Next Tick if the Server Is Overloaded (#65589)
This pr goes through: /client/Click(), /client/Topic(), /mob/living/verb/resist(), /mob/verb/quick_equip(), /mob/verb/examinate(), and /mob/verb/mode() and makes them queue their functionality to a subsystem to execute in the next tick if the server is overloaded. To do this a new subsystem is made to handle most verbs called SSverb_manager, if the server is overloaded the verb queues itself in the subsystem and returns, then near the start of the next tick that verb is resumed with the provided callback. The verbs are called directly after SSinput, and the subsystem does not yield until its queue is completely finished.

The exception are clicks from player input since they are extremely important for the feeling of responsiveness. I considered not queuing them but theyre too expensive not to, suffering from a death of a thousand cuts performance wise from many many things in the process adding up. Instead clicks are executed at the very start of the next tick, as the first action that SSinput completes, before player movement is processed even.

A few months ago, before I died I was trying to figure out why games at midpop (40-50 people) had non zero and consistent time dilation without maptick being consistently above 28% (which is when the MC stops yielding for maptick if its overloaded). I found it out, started working on this pr, then promptly died. luckily im a bit less dead now

the current MC has a problem: the cost of verbs is completely and totally invisible to it, it cannot account for them. Why is this bad? because verbs are the last thing to execute in the tick, after the MC and SendMaps have finished executing.
tick diagram2
If the MC is overloaded and uses 100% of the time it allots itself this means that if SendMaps uses the amount its expected to take, verbs have at most 2% of the tick to execute in before they are overtiming and thus delaying the start of the next tick. This is bad, and im 99% sure this is the majority of our overtime.

Take Click() for example. Click isnt listed as a verb but since its called as a result of client commands its executed at the end of the tick like other verbs. in this random 80 pop sybil round profile i had saved on my computer sybil 80 pop (2).txt /client/Click() has an overtime of only 1.8 seconds, which isnt that bad. however it has a self cpu of 2.5 seconds meaning 1.8/2.5 = 72% of its time is overtiming, and it also is calling 80.2 seconds worth of total cpu, which means that more than 57.7 seconds of overtime is attributed to just /client/Click() executing at the very end of a tick. the reason why this isnt obvious is just because the verbs themselves typically dont have high enough self cpu to get high enough on the rankings of overtiming procs to be noticed, all of their overtime is distributed among a ton of procs they call in the chain.

Since i cant guarantee the MC resumes at the very start of the next tick due to other sleeping procs almost always resuming first: I time the duration between clicks being queued up for the next tick and when theyre actually executed. if it exceeds 20 milliseconds of added latency (less than one tenth the average human reaction time) clicks will execute immediately instead of queuing, this should make instances where a player can notice the added latency a vanishingly small minority of cases. still, this should be tm'd
