## About The Pull Request
This PR should fix the problem of small previews in TGUI once and for
all (I hope).
What was causing it? Because TGUI takes a long time to open, that's why
previews were generated broken (small).
On Byond 515 this problem was not so noticeable as the interfaces opened
faster, but with the release of 516 it became much worse.
Previews were generated inside a window that was not yet open, so the
scale was broken, sometimes the window would open before the preview was
done and sent, usually with small interfaces, or when reopening.
I'm not very good at working with signals, and to tell the truth this is
my second experience with them, so I hope I did it right.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
516 requires float layered overlays to be using pixel_w and pixel_z
instead of pixel_x and pixel_y respectively, unless we want
visual/layering errors. This makes sense, as w,z are for visual effects
only. Sadly seems we were not entirely consistent in this, and many
things seem to have been using x,y incorrectly.
This hopefully fixes that, and thus also fixes layering issues. Complete
1:1 compatibility not guaranteed.
I did the lazy way suggested to me by SmArtKar to speed it up (Runtiming
inside apply_overlays), and this is still included in the PR to flash
out possible issues in a TM (Plus I will need someone to grep the
runtimes for me after the TM period to make sure nothing was missed).
After this is done I'll remove all these extra checks.
Lints will probably be failing for a bit, got to wait for [this
update](4b77cd487d)
to them to make it into release. Or just unlint the lines, though that's
probably gonna produce code debt
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes this massive 516 mess, hopefully.

## Changelog

refactor: Changed many of our use cases for pixel_x and pixel_y
correctly into pixel_w and pixel_z, fixing layering issues in the
process.

## About The Pull Request
This trainwreck of a PR is (hopefully) a final solution to all rendering
jank stemming from the new filter-based coloring system. I went over
every single instance of RESET_COLOR, either adding KEEP_APART or
rewriting them entirely so they render properly. I've also fixed blood
rendering issues by utilizing alpha filters and adding an abstract
"holder" appearance for worn items, which holds blood overlays on worn
clothing as to avoid coloring it. I've also fixed horrible
inconsistencies with atmos pipe coloring as a result (of getting sucked
down that rabbit hole) and converted all uses of COLOR_VERY_LIGHT_GRAY
in atmos code to ATMOS_COLOR_OMNI to avoid confusion.
MODsuit modules still get colored into MOD unit's color, need to
refactor their rendering for this.
Closes#88989Closes#87526Closes#89837
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Audited all remaining coloring code - among noticeable
changes, blood should no longer get colored or "leak out" of item
bounds, atmos pipes no longer color weirdly and repairbots are white
again.

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new Retcon smite, it makes the person fade out into nothingness
with a configurable timer, deletes their records and reopens their job
slot, as if they were never there at all.
I was also annoyed that to play around with temporary_atom I had to
slowy add a component, and it doesn't really have much of a reason to BE
a component, so I refactored it into an atom level proc called
fade_into_nothing
## Why It's Good For The Game
The smite is useful for when you wanna get rid of someone who had to
leave roundstart and whatnot, on top of just being funny. the refactor
is also good because i can now put that proc on build mode and go to
town.

Replaces the asset subsystem's spritesheet generator with a rust-based
implementation (https://github.com/tgstation/rust-g/pull/160).
This is a rough port of
https://github.com/BeeStation/BeeStation-Hornet/pull/10404, but it
includes fixes for some cases I didn't catch that apply on TG.
(FWIW we've been using this system on prod for over a year and
encountered no major issues.)

`/datum/asset/spritesheet_batched`: A version of the spritesheet system
that collects a list of `/datum/universal_icon`s and sends them off to
rustg asynchronously, and the generation also runs on another thread, so
the game doesn't block during realize_spritesheet. The rust generation
is about 10x faster when it comes to actual icon generation, but the
biggest perk of the batched spritesheets is the caching system.
This PR notably does not convert a few things to the new spritesheet
generator.
- Species and antagonist icons in the preferences view because they use
getFlatIcon ~~which can't be converted to universal icons~~.
- Yes, this is still a *massive* cost to init, unfortunately. On Bee, I
actually enabled the 'legacy' cache on prod and development, which you
can see in my PR. That's why I added the 'clear cache' verb and the
`unregister()` procs, because it can force a regeneration at runtime. I
decided not to port this, since I think it would be detrimental to the
large amount of contributors here.
- It is *technically* possible to port parts of this to the uni_icon
system by making a uni_icon version of getFlatIcon. However, some
overlays use runtime-generated icons which are ~~completely unparseable
to IconForge, since they're stored in the RSC and don't exist as files
anywhere~~. This is most noticeable with things like hair (which blend
additively with the hair mask on the server, thus making them invisible
to `get_flat_uni_icon`). It also doesn't help that species and antag
icons will still need to generate a bunch of dummies and delete them to
even verify cache validity.
- It is actually possible to write the RSC icons to the filesystem
(using fcopy) and reference them in IconForge. However, I'm going to
wait on doing this until I port my GAGS implementation because it
requires GAGS to exist on the filesystem as well.
IconForge generates a cache based on the set of icons used, all
transform operations applied, and the source DMIs of each icon used
within the spritesheet. It can compare the hashes and invalidate the
cache automatically if any of these change. This means we can enable
caching on development, and have absolutely no downsides, because if
anything changes, the cache invalidates itself.
The caching has a mean cost of ~5ms and saves a lot of time compared to
generating the spritesheet, even with rust's faster generation. The main
downside is that the cache still requires building the list of icons and
their transforms, then json encoding it to send to rustg.
Here's an abbreviated example of a cache JSON. All of these need to
match for the cache to be valid. `input_hash` contains the transform
definitions for all the sprites in the spritesheet, so if the input to
iconforge changes, that hash catches it. The `sizes` and `sprites` are
loaded into DM.
```json
{
"input_hash": "99f1bc67d590e000",
"dmi_hashes": {
"icons/ui/achievements/achievements.dmi": "771200c75da11c62"
},
"sizes": [
"76x76"
],
"sprites": {
"achievement-rustascend": {
"size_id": "76x76",
"position": 1
}
},
"rustg_version": "3.6.0",
"dm_version": 1
}
```
Universal icons are just a collection of DMI, Icon State, and any icon
transformation procs you apply (blends, crops, scales). They can be
convered to DM icons via `to_icon()`. I've included an implementation of
GAGS that produces universal icons, allowing GAGS items to be converted
into them. IconForge can read universal icons and add them to
spritesheets. It's basically just a wrapper that reimplements BYOND icon
procs.
Converts some uses of md5asfile within legacy spritesheets to use
rustg_hash_file instead, improving the performance of their generation.
Fixes lizard body markings not showing in previews, and re-adds eyes to
the ethereal color preview. This is a side effect of IconForge having
*much* better error handling than DM icon procs. Invalid stuff that gets
passed around will error instead of silently doing nothing.
Changes the CSS used in legacy spritesheet generation to split
`background: url(...) no-repeat` into separate props. This is necessary
for WebView2, as IE treats these properties differently - adding
`background-color` to an icon object (as seen in the R&D console) won't
work if you don't split these out.
Deletes unused spritesheets and their associated icons (condiments
spritesheet, old PDA spritesheet)
If you press "Character Setup", the 10-13sec of lag is now approximately
0.5-2 seconds.
Tracy profile showing the time spent on get_asset_datum. I pressed the
preferences button during init on both branches. Do note that this was
ran with a smart cache HIT, so no generation occurred.

Much lower worst-case for /datum/asset/New (which includes
`create_spritesheets()` and `register()`)

Here's a look at the internal costs from rustg - as you can see
`generate_spritesheet()` is very fast:

🆑
fix: Fixed lizard body markings and ethereal feature previews in the
preference menu missing some overlays.
refactor: Optimized spritesheet asset generation greatly using rustg
IconForge, greatly reducing post-initialization lag as well as reducing
init times and saving server computation.
config: Added 'smart' asset caching, for batched rustg IconForge
spritesheets. It is persistent and suitable for use on local, with
automatic invalidation.
add: Added admin verbs - Debug -> Clear Smart/Legacy Asset Cache for
spritesheets.

## About The Pull Request
Port of a fix from
https://github.com/Monkestation/Monkestation2.0/pull/4995
Due to how modular computers worked with the nested tgui stuff, the
SecurEye app wouldn't properly autoupdate whenever a camera it was
watching moved (when there's not any tracking going on)
This "fixes" that issue by adding a new var, `always_update_ui`, to
modular computer programs, which will make the modpc call the active
program's `ui_interact` even after the UI is opened.
## Why It's Good For The Game
bugfix good. if the whole "watch broadcast camera streams on PDA" thing
ever gets ported here, this is a needed fix for that.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: SecurEye now properly follows moving cameras.
/🆑
I standardized stuff in AASs code, and all current reference to it. Also
added interactions for bounty cubes, weather reports and request
consoles, all of it can be changed from AASs UI.
Also it's easier now to add new config entries for AAS to proceed, and
it's now downstream friendly.
Well, because kind of order in code and because it's funny to make
custom messages for... Almost everything?
BTW any entry can be blocked from ingame changes, by default you can't
change Broken Arrival shuttle and Security Officer arrival
announcements, how it was before. But may be we should allow it - it's
an open question.
🆑
add: Many things now handles via AAS: Bounty Cubes, Request Consoles,
Brig Cells, Vending Machines and Orion Trails alerts, Weather Reports,

## Why It's Good For The Game
This tool assists in finding and fixing bugs related to cargo orders and
cargo crates. The wait time for these cooldowns can be ten minutes or
longer, and this speeds up the process significantly.
It could also be used by admins during play to make the cooldown lower,

## About The Pull Request
This PR makes the reward and cooldown for departmental orders scale with
crate cost using a logarithmic scaling, instead of comparing the price
to preset thresholds for time, or awarding the same amount as the
crate's cost.
Previously, to calculate the cooldown time, the code was calculated via
the following manner:
```
credits = clamp(credits, min, max)
time_y = 10 MINUTES * ((credits - min)/(max - min) + 1)
```
Minimum was 320 credits, max was 3000, thus, all crates slid around
between 10 minutes to 20 minutes.
The reward for delivering the crates was the same as the crate's value.
This meant ordering egregiously expensive crates, far beyond 3000 was
way too desirable.
This PR changes both to use logarithmic scaling.
Cooldown time uses `60* log(price)^2.2`, and reward uses `140 *
log(price)^1.4`.
**Cooldown analysis**
At 320 it's 7.54 minutes, at 1400 it's 12.44 minutes, at 3000 (around
gun crates) it's 15.5 minutes, at 8000 (hat crate) 20 minutes, at 9000
(expensive atmos cans) it's 20.58 minutes, and at the 20k crate it's
24.76 minutes.
**Crate rewards analysis**
At 320 it's 475 credits, at 1400 it's 669 credits, at 3000 (around gun
crates) its 778, at 8000 (hat crate) it's 925 credits, at 9000
(expensive atmos cans) it's 943 credits, and at the 20k crate it's 1070
credits.
Up to 540 credits, you are actually getting a higher reward than what
the crate costs, but this is okay, as its a reward for delivering
simpler orders. A little surplus for you.
For the console UI, I have made items costing 3000 or more display
Moderate, and items costing 8000 or more, Long cooldowns.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ordering really expensive crates should be a luxury, not a way to
generate money. The money is supposed to be a bonus, in addition to the
free crate to sell. Using a logarithmic scale, the credit bonus is
reigned in more evenly, making it more predictable for economy tweaking,
and avoids players double dipping credits in their free purchase.
Decreasing the rewards also give space for other new ways to generate
rewards in relation to departmental orders, such as stamping the
manifest with the correct head's stamp being worth more money and such.
<details>
<summary>Old PR Text, which was using a price cap instead</summary>
## About The Pull Request
Departmental orders are a neat feature, but some of the available packs
had problems economywise. The cooldown of range from 10 to 20 minutes,
with 10 minutes being the base for anything costing less than 320
credits, and 20 minutes at 3000 credits. I have no problem with the
lower cap, but the upper cap has issues, as recently, a 20k crate was
added to cargo, which means it is possible to dump quite a large amount
of funds into cargo every 20 minutes.
Departmental orders probably need a bigger overhaul, and this solution
is imperfect, but I have talked with @ArcaneMusic about this as an
interim stop gap measure.
This PR also autodocs a proc, and moves some values to global defines,
for ease of balancing.
This PR affects the following crates, with the uncapped crate values in

## Why It's Good For The Game
Instantly awarding 20k to cargo every 20 minute, in addition to 27k from
the other consoles (if both engineering and science orders BZ, service
orders collectible hats, and medical orders something around 1000), is a
bit too much. The money gained should be along a much more predictable
and expected value. With this chance, the most they can get is 13k every
20 minutes across all departments.
</details>
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Rewards from departmental orders use a logarithmic scale,
resulting in less rewards for high tier crates. The cooldown time is
also logarithmic now, which has slightly decreased cooldown values on
cheaper crates.

## About The Pull Request
See name, if a dummy somehow gets hold of a PDA with the camera app
installed (This just so happens to be a default PDA program in the case
on Nova, Skyrat, and Bubber), and the delete_equipment proc is called,
the camera inside the PDA gets sent to the wardrobe because of
`/datum/outfit/job/assistant/gimmick/hall_monitor` having one, and then
qdelled with the PDA, leaving a hanging ref
This causes a harddel during tests that has caused me great pains to
locate. Turns out a single example holodisk with the clown holds a
magical key to trigger all this: a single PDA
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes a harddel. There might be other similar ones hiding in the dark
like cameras in other objects.

## About The Pull Request
As before, more fiddling with NTNRC, more bugs.
This time, the same user sending the same message within the same second
would cause this message to spawn a new copy each time the channel was
opened, until the UI was closed and re-opened.
Looking into it, this seemed to be because we would set the `Box`'s
`key` value to the message contents:
<b0d71024c0/tgui/packages/tgui/interfaces/NtosNetChat.jsx (L156)>
Which isn't actually unique.
To fix this, we instead make each channel keep track of an incrementing
`id` number to assign to each message, and convert the `messages` list
to an associative list using those numerical ids stringified.
We don't just use the list index as a key, as we later may want to
target specific messages, so a consistent unique key is important.
This fixes our primary issue.
In the process of making the rest of the code account for this, I
noticed that the NTNRC program header that's supposed to show new
messages in the active channel when the program is idle didn't actually
work.
Just at all.
So I rewrote the entire thing, and it now tracks the last read message's
id rather than the full message, and sets this when you actually
background the program. The rest still runs on process tick, where it
updates the header if there's a new message with a different id on top.
Finally, the header part of the UI wasn't actually updating if there
were no headers, so now it forwards a lack of headers change as well.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Reduces more NTNRC jank.
Good if shit like, actually works.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: NTNRC no longer endlessly duplicates messages with duplicate
contents upon switching channels.
fix: The new message header you get when NTNRC runs in the background
actually works.
fix: NtOS header actually updates if there are no program headers.

## About The Pull Request
- SiliConnect is no longer a default app for cyborgs.
- RoboTact, the borg self-status app now has a Network tab, which lists
other borgs' status.
- The Network tab will only list borgs connected to the same AI as you.
If your AI goes down, you lose connection to other borgs' status info.
- Your AI is also listed on the Network tab, with their own status in a
very binary good/bad form.
- Syndicate borgs are able to see other syndicate borgs on the Network
list, even though they lack an AI.
## Why It's Good For The Game
SiliConnect was recently added to the default borg apps list. But it has
a lot of features that borgs can't actually use, and so feels rather
messy. It was added with the goal of letting borgs see eachother's
status, and so I've ported that functionality into RoboTact. SiliConnect
is no longer a default borg app (though it *can* be installed if a borg
and human really want it to be).
Showing the AI's status is certainly a balance choice. But it's not
really that much of a secret when the AI dying already adjusts the
monitors across the station to a BSOD image. On the flip side, we get to
shut off borg status sharing when the AI goes offline, which is neat.
## Changelog
🆑
del: SiliConnect, a tool meant for Roboticists, is no longer included by
default on borgs.
add: RoboTact, the borg self-status app, now shows the status of other
borgs synced to the same AI. Syndicate borgs can likewise see
eachother's status, even without an AI.
balance: RoboTact also shows their synced AI's very basic status of
functional or offline.

~~Drafting because I need to do edge-case testing, and the AI box isn't
quite functioning correctly when the borg has no AI master.~~
## About The Pull Request
During all that fiddling with NTNRC I noticed that sometimes the
download percentage would shoot above 100%.
Looking into it, it seems that that's just because it isn't actually
capped at the downloaded file size.
So we cap it to the file size after adding our next download chunk, but
parallel to before don't complete it immediately so that we stay on 100%
for another cycle before finishing. For style reasons.
Then I noticed files with a size of 0 would sometimes display NaN% or
Infinite%, presumably because both of the progress percentage
calculations in the ui would be dividing by zero.
So to avoid this, we just skip the downloading cycle entirely for 0 size
programs, and go to download completion immediately on clicking.
This fixes our issues.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes some jank.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: NT Software Hub no longer displays >100% completion on downloads

## About The Pull Request
While looking into getting the NTNRC username list sorted, I found out
that it was _already_ supposed to be sorted by status, but just got
broken in a pr that removes the program status variable forwarded for
this reason.
In this pr we simply add a `get_numerical_status()` proc that converts
the new logic into a number we can sort by, then make the tgui sort
account for this.
Additionally, we make it sort alphabetically in its subcategories, for
sanity's sake.
It now sorts by operator perms first, then
online>away(background)>offline, then alphabetically.
While I dislike operators being at the top regardless of their status,
it seems like that is how it was intended to work, and doing so sanely
would requite rethinking how names are coloured entirely. On the other
end, I think it's potentially good to have operators be at the top and
thus easily pingable at all times.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes broken status sorting.
Alphabetical sorting makes finding a specific user to mute or ping them
less of a pain.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: NTNRC channel user list is sorted by status again. It goes

## About The Pull Request
When fiddling around with NTNRC, I noticed that muted clients... can
still talk.
While the input bar is reddened and displays a mute message, it isn't
actually disabled- even more so, there's no sanity checks for being
muted on the `ui_act(...)`.
In this pr we just make it so the input gets disabled, and add a sanity
check to avoid people bypassing it.

## About The Pull Request
- Removes the restriction from borgs and AIs opening PDA interfaces.
- Adds a restriction on Messenger if the PDA is being viewed by an AI or
Cyborg *and* the PDA is not a silicon-type PDA. Messenger is completely
unusable in this case.
- The AI's own PDA is unaffected, due to it being a silicon-type PDA.
Downstreams that give Borg PDAs the Messenger app should likewise be
unaffected. Though mainly unrelated to the PR, pAIs were also tested and
have not been affected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Back before tablets and PDAs were squished together, silicons could
access tablets freely. TGUI PDAs were restricted from Silicons mainly to
keep parity with the old PDAs, of which Messenger is the major feature
that was ported over. Thus, I'm blocking Messenger specifically while
allowing the rest of a PDA's features to be unblocked.
As an aside, the old fluff text `It doesn't feel right to snoop around
like that...` was kinda terrible, since there are many times you do, in
fact, want to snoop. The AI trying to track down a known killer's
accomplice would want to snoop. The Malf AI that's trying to trick the
Captain would want to snoop. The prior owner of the PDA before they were
borged wouldn't even feel like it's snooping. So now it's a connection
refused thing, not an AI's feelings thing.
## Changelog

balance: Borgs and AIs can now access dropped PDAs. The Messenger app
does not work over a remote connection, however.

## About The Pull Request
This makes it so receiving a PDA message will give the holder a balloon
alert with their ringtone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
PDA messages are often ignored due to not being noticed, as many players
are more often focused on the main game screen (which runechat has
somewhat normalized) than the chat window. This makes things more
obvious that there's a PDA message.
## Changelog

add: PDA ringtones now show a balloon alert to the PDA holder.

## About The Pull Request
So, do you remember orbies, those cutesy virtual PDA pets from that PR
that Ben made roughly six months ago before moving on his next project,
leaving them to be probably forgotten in a near future/present/past?
Yeah, personally I never played around, however I recalled that they do
have customizable virtual hats, which can be selected from a dropdown in
the UI, and I thought that it would be a perfect target for some
achievement-related content, as they're totally cosmetic that provides
no gameplay advantage nor affects balance in no way whatsoever. I cannot
sit well with cheevos being purely an end to itself, that's the reason
this PR exists.
The new additions to orbies hats, and their respective required
achievements are:
- The fishing hat (Legendary Fisher)
- A huge-ass rollie (Unhealthy Snacks) (yeah, it isn't exactly a hat but
the code in no way assume that the item has to be a hat, beside vars
named like that for the sake of convenience)
- A tape wizard hat (Archmage)
- An energy cakehat (Very Important Piscis)
- A bounty hunter cowboy hat (Hot Damn!)
- A fancy crown (Outdebted)
The huge-ass rollie (called fat dart) in the game, is a new cigarette,
rarely found in hacked cigarette vending machines. It's obviously a
reference to that Ralsei meme from 3 years ago or so but I personally
don't care, I just wanted to give an excessively big cigarette to orbies
to symbolize the proposterous accomplishment of eating 500 cigarettes in
a single round without dying from nicotine OD less than halfway through,
but since orbie hats use actual items are references for their
appearance, I found myself obliged to add one to the code. Overall, the
fat dart comes from an old PR on Citadel, though I had to resprite it
myself.
Here's a lazy collage of the hats. For some reason unbeknownst to me,
the hats are horizontally squished. I need to ask Ben why he did them
this way when Orbies' heads are as wide as a rugby ball.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Simple, extra cosmetic stuff for a simple feature that's as relevant as
playing around with plushes.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added more customizable options to PDA virtual pets, which can be
unlocked by completing achievements.
