## About The Pull Request
##### Disclaimer - Some of the code/icons/sounds were ported from TMGC.
Introducing more weather types! And yes, you can now have rain be
reagent based!

You can even make it rain ants, plasma, or drugs. All of their effects
get applied to turfs, objects, and mobs depending on the weather options
you select.
Did I mention... there is thunder?

Despite all this new stuff, none of it has been directly added to the
game but the code can be used in the future for:
- Wizard event - Similar to lava on floor, but this time make the
reagent random or picked from a list and give wizard immunity
- Chaplain ability - Maybe make this a benefit or ability once enough
favor has been obtained
- Admin events - I have added a BUNCH of admin tooling to run customized
weather events that let you control a lot of options
- New station maps/biomes for downstreams (Jungle Station, etc.)
- Change Ion storms to use the new weather system that triggers
EMP/thunder effects across the station
- IceBox could get plasma rain
- Lavaland could get thunder effects applied to ash storms
Relevant PRs that removed/added some of the weather stuff I used:

- #25222

The original `siren.ogg` sound used on a lot of SS13 servers doesn't
seem to have any attribution that I could locate. The sound was added
about 15 years ago. So I just looked for a somewhat similar sounding
siren noise on Freesound.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More weather customization!
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added new weather types for rain and sandstorms. Rain now uses a
reagent that gets exposed to the turfs, mobs, and objects. There is also
a thunder strike setting you can apply to any weather.
add: Hydro trays and soil will now add reagents to their trays when
exposed to a chemical reaction. (weather, shower, chem spills, foam
grenades, etc.)
add: Weather temperature now affects weather reagents and mobs body
temperature.
bal: Snowstorm temperature calculations were tweaked to allow universal
weather temperature effects.
sound: Added weather sounds from TGMC for rain and sirens (attributed to
Cuboos and IFartInUrGeneralDirection )
image: Added weather images from TGMC for rain and sand storms
(attributed to Novaepee and Bimmer)
refactor: Refactored a lot of the weather code to be more robust
admin: Admins can now control more weather related options when running
weather events. The weather admin verbs have been moved to their own
"Weather" category under the Admin tab.

## About The Pull Request
Unfortunately, the sound only plays when you're outside, under the
storm. I would love for it to play when you're near a window or
something, but that would vastly over-complicate things. Maybe later.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Some free immersion. And in particular in the dark sometimes I don't
notice a snowstorm is raging so it adds some nice feedback.

## About The Pull Request
it's - conjunction of "it" and "is"
its - possessive form of "it"
grammar is hard, and there were a lot of places where "it's" was used
where it shouldn't have been. i went and painstakingly searched the
entire repository for these instances, spending a few hours on it. i
completely ignored the changelog archive, and i may have missed some
outliers. most player-facing ones should be corrected, though
## Why It's Good For The Game
proper grammar is good
## Changelog
🆑
spellcheck: Numerous instances of "it's" have been properly replaced
with "its"

## About The Pull Request
We have two verbs that allow any given mob to take control of an object
and move it ephemerally, `/proc/possess()` and `/proc/release()`. These
ones leveraged two vars present on every `/mob`: `name_archive` and
`control_object`. I don't like having vars clog up my VV and this just
injected snowflake behavior in a lot of spots - let's just make it a
component that'll clean everything else up.
This also opens up the ability to have more objects be under mob control
without giving someone verbs that spit out to the blackbox as an admin
verb + logs + message admins but that's a later thing. This just subs in
the behavior in a nice way.
Also, since it's a component, I added a small QoL that we can support
now: A screen alert that allows you to get out of the possession early
without navigating the stat panel for the specific verb. I think it's
neat. You can also trigger the aghost keybind if that's something you
want as well.
Also also, nothing actually ever cleaned up `control_object` by setting
it to null. This means that in the old framework, if a mob got qdelled
during a possession, that would have triggered a hung ref harddel. That
won't happen anymore.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Two less variables taking up crud space in the VSC debugger + view
variables panel. Better behavior injection that is far more reusable.
Component handling this behavior allows for better extensibility of this
function in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
admin: Object Possession has been reworked, please report any potential
bugs.
qol: Object Possession should now throw a screen alert for you to
unpossess the object instead of you having to search the stat-panel for
the "release obj" verb. You can still use the verb but it's a lot nicer
now. Aghosting will also work now.
