## About The Pull Request
stop forgetting to include mapload, if you don't include it then every single subtype past it by default doesn't include it
for example, `obj/item` didn't include mapload so every single item by default didn't fill in mapload

## Regex used:
procs without args, not even regex
`/Initialize()`
procs with args
`\/Initialize\((?!mapload)((.)*\w)?`
cleanup of things i didn't want to mapload:
`\/datum\/(.)*\/Initialize\(mapload`
First off, I am aware of the Feature Freeze for this month. This PR was initially started in #60401 about a month ago to break the changes into smaller PRs. The end result for this PR is a poor man's attempt at roguelike procedural generation. Enjoy!
Link to the README for how the new spawner system works.
Added the following new random mapping spawners:
pen, crayon, stamp, paper, pamphlet, briefcase, folder, wardrobe closet, wardrobe closet colored, backpack, narcotics, permabrig_weapon, permabrig_gear, prison, material, carpet, ornament, generic decoration, statue, showcase, paint, tool, tool_advanced, tool_rare, material_cheap, material, material_rare, toolbox, flashlight, canister, tank, vending_restock, atmospherics_portable, tracking_beacon, musical_instrument, gambling, coin, money_small, money, money_large, drugs, dice, cigarette_pack, cigarette, cigar, wallet_lighter, lighter, wallet_storage, deck, toy, toy_figure, booze, snack, condiment, cups, minor_healing, injector, surgery_tool, surgery_tool_advanced, surgery_tool_rare, firstaid_rare, firstaid, patient_stretcher, medical supplies, crate, crate_abandoned, girder, grille, lattice, spare_parts, table_or_rack, table, table_fancy, tank_holder, crate_empty, crate_loot, closet_private, closet_hallway, closet_empty, closet_maintencne, chair, chair_maintence, chair_flipped, chair_comfy, barricade, data_disk, graffiti, mopbucket, caution_sign, bucket, soap, box, bin, janitor_supplies, soup, salad, dinner
Removed deprecated wizard trap, vault, and armory spawners.
Admins can now revert (most) station traits before a round starts, as well as setup the station traits that will run next round.
Previously, admins had no control over this system, making it sometimes painful for running planned events.
It is not feasible to update the station traits of the current round, considering some apply pre-roundstart, but it is doable to edit the station traits of the next round.
## About The Pull Request
Changes "motd.txt" from being hardcoded to being a list of files which are read sequentially.
CC @MrStonedOne for config changes
## Why It's Good For The Game
On production, our MOTDs contain several individual sections:
- Active Trial Admin threads
- General game information
- MRP specific information
I want to automate number 1, I want number 2 to be shared among all servers, and I want number 3 to be shared among all MRP servers.
Adds some extra vars and logic to explosion code to make powerful logging entries that should help admins narrow down when explosives get misused.
Records this new info in the feedback database and bumps the explosion version +1 as a result of this.
This fix was one hell of a debug journey. Icon.Insert() was the issue here but I'm not sure if it counts as byond bug in this particular case. When you insert a single frame icon, if an existing icon state of the same name exists normally it would be overridden. However different things happen if the icon that gets overridden has multiple frames. I'm not fully sure of the different behaviors but depending on what the icons consisted of you could get animated sprites where every frame was the same or appending frames to animated sprites in strange ways.
This has been fixed by making sure no Inserts are overriding existing icon states so that the strange behavior doesn't have to be dealt with.
The GAGS debug menu has been upgraded a bit on the way to fixing this bug. A toggle to automatically refresh icons when the dmi or json configuration are updated has been added and the step by step preview will only show steps now involved in the creation of the icon state you select.
Sometimes when logging on Campbell, fancy chat fails to load and my non-fancy chat is spammed with the following.

In addition, ping fails to update correct on the status tab when this happens.
Hypothesis:
Sometimes world.time can report a number that displays as scientific notation when converted to text.
The following code leads to calling the update_ping verb.
winset(C, null, "command=.update_ping+[world.time+world.tick_lag*TICK_USAGE_REAL/100]")
I suspect what's happening is world.time is being converted to text and you're getting the following command:
command=.update_ping+2.1313e
And this is causing an error in update_ping since it can't resolve 2.1313e as a valid number.
Wrapping that in text2num with 32 significant figures (arbitrary number, heat death of the universe proof by several orders of magnitude) means the update_ping verb always gets a number that isn't in scientific notation.
About The Pull Request
Rewrites the entire preferences menu in tgui. Rewrites the entire backend to be built upon datumized preferences, rather than constant additions to the preferences base datum.
Splits game preferences into its own window.
Antagonists are now split into their individual rulesets. You can now be a roundstart heretic without signing up for latejoin heretic, as an example.
This iteration matches parity, and provides very little new functionality, but adding anything new will be much easier.

This PR expands phobias to include more objects and mobs.
Supernatural Phobia now includes more wizard objects, supernatural creatures and species. (zombies, vampires, nightmares, etc.)
Clown Phobia now includes bananium objects and honk related simple mobs.
All phobias that had any crossover associations with toys, stamps, statues, or megaphones were also added. (for instance the security phobia now checks for security toys and megaphones)
Merged the item/melee/classic_baton and item/melee/baton families in this unholy matrimony.
Bad jokes aside. I have refactored the underlying code of both items with the scope of reducing potential copypasta,inconsistencies, logging, renewing some old code (like teleprods) and extending the anti-dual batoning and TRAIT_STUNRESISTANCE code** to all batons and not just security ones. Otherwise, I have tried to maintain the gameplay functionality of these items intact. They work just like they did for the most part.
** A badly designed feature that only considers one source of knockdowns - stunbatons - out of a multitude of different devices with corresponding purposes present in the game. The only thing it does is reduce the knockdown from them by 90%. The stamina damage and confusion are fully applied. The knockdown from batons is 5 seconds, standing up takes an extra 1 second and the baton cooldown is about 2.5. Doing the math, you'll have the grand advantage of one puny second of not lying horizontal on the floor with this trait before getting batoned again by the same guy because the stamina damage and the confusion have really hampered your chances of getting some distance. I wish to make the trait suck less in the future, but for now I'm including a slight gameplay change here, more for consistency than anything because as I already told you, it'll still be disappointingly bad per se.
The abductor baton is also no more a subtype of stun batons but batons, which don't use power cells to work. Its power cell is effectively infinite and can't be removed, and It overrides functions such as toggling the baton on/off. It hinders maintainability to keep it a subtype of stun batons.
Replaced the anchored check for mobs in teleprods with one for overwhelming move resistance and removed its clumsy_check copypasta (it was stunning clowns twices).
original pr here: #59789 (Closed because he didn't think it was good enough)
came back to this because i realized that
all machines were area sensitive, meaning they had a list with at least a reference to themselves (assuming they arent in the contents of another movable which most arent) for the purposes of handling power differences when their area changes
pipes are machines
there are ~14k machines and ~6k pipes
i made this problem worse with a recent pr by making it a nested list
so i needed to track what machines needed power, and this pr had work already done that could be used for that purpose. now machines that have use_power == NO_POWER_USE do not have this extra memory overhead for no reason
currently every machine that uses power draws that amount from its area from a dynamic channel via auto_use_power() which is called every SSmachines fire(), then in apc/process() the area's dynamic power draw is reset and the power is used. with static power its not calculated then reset every loop, its just taken from the grid. so now machines handle updating their static power usage from their current area (this doesnt touch power machines that require a wire connection). in order to allow this, use_power, idle_power_usage, and active_power_usage have setters to track state correctly and update the static power usage on the machines current area and handle area sensitivity.
also goes through a lot of heavy abusers of SSmachine processing time and tries to make it faster. makes airalarm/process() into a signal handler for COMSIG_TURF_EXPOSE since air alarms only need to process for changes.
Why It's Good For The Game
SSmachines isnt the heaviest hitter in terms of total cpu and certainly not in terms of overtime, but its not a lightweight. it frequently takes > 50ms to complete a run and seems to be in the top 5 or so of subsystem costs looking at some round profilers
also gets rid of a few thousand lists since every pipe no longer has two useless lists each (and any other machines that dont use power)

Simple_animals / mobs are the biggest lie in this code-base. They're far from simple and have an extreme god-object problem. Especially when you get to /hostile, where there is so many procs, vars, and what not, that you can't make any interesting additions without snowflaking the hell out of the code.
This PR hopes to help kill this problem by introducing a new /living subtype, /living/basic. The idea of this refactor is to slowly start moving all old simple_animals to this new system, moving over behaviors like charging and more extravagant mobs like megafauna over bit by bit similar to how newfood was implemented.
One of the other big goals of this refactor is to move many of the fringe simple animal behaviors into either AI datums, or components/elements. (Some of which still needs to be done in this PR).
As a proof of concept, I created the base mob/living/basic, and moved cockroaches over to the system. Since cockroaches have both a passive, melee and ranged mob.
This PR does slightly affect balance as the behavior isn't 1-on-1 due to it no longer running on the janky /hostile behavior, but I tried to keep the effects to a minimum, and the glockroach and hauberoach are not spawnable through many means as far as I know.
Admins can now give players a popup if they are not responding to tickets.
Popup is cleared when player replies or ticket is resolved/closed.
As more and more of the chat screen is made irrelevant, new players read it less and less.
This means that a lot of new players are ignoring ahelps, which is something I've encountered myself.
Added a lowercase variable to string, string lists and keyed list configs.
Currently lowercase is only TRUE for keyed lists because they have been working like that since 2018. It might be changed to be FALSE by default but it'll take a while looking at the parsed logs for the config entries.
* The Failsafe can now recover from an deleted MC
Its also more reliable and can handle a situation where its main Loop runtimes and the MC is stuck
* Reset defcon level correctly
Oops left that in from debugging the levels
* Correctly recover SSasset
* Only decrease defcon if MC creation failed
Also add some sort sleep between emergency loops
* Makes the last two emergency actions manual procs
Since they are kinda unstantable its probalby best
if only admins call these manually
Its also more reliable and can handle a situation where its main Loop runtimes and the MC is stuck
You can also now debug Master/New()
While there will most likely never be any situation where the MC is just gone its still good to know that the game can recover from such a situation
For example maybe someone messed up a SDQL query or maybe someone wanted to delete the MC to create a new one hoping the Failsafe would do so for him
Repaths everything referring to "toxins" while actually meaning either the room in science or plasma gas. While this PR might be disrespectful to our forefathers, given this is (I believe) a holdover from as far back as the Exadv1 days, this has constantly irked me since I started working with the code. None of the player-facing stuff has referred to plasma as toxin since before 4407 hit, besides the Toxins Lab, and yet all of the type-paths are still pointing at toxins, making it a nightmare to search for in a map editor, and making the code needlessly easy to confuse with that of toxin damage. So this just fires it into the sun.
Anything relating to Toxins, the science subdepartment, now makes reference to Ordnance instead. This felt fitting enough given the focus of the subdepartment is around the creation of and testing of explosives.
Anything relating to plasma gas has, fittingly, been made to refer to plasma gas.
Edit: Ah yes, I feel I should probably apologise off the bat for the size of this PR- the code touched is mostly atmos machinery and simplemobs, a few sprites here and there, and of course the station maps + a few offstation maps.
Makes the code more legible and makes mapping less painful.
(The payment has been made)
Shouldn't have any visible effects. Atmos machines would occasionally complain about parent pipenets not existing during an update and this should resolve a category of those kinds of warning.
(This is a pain side effect of rebuilding being non instant, shoulda been dealt with a long time ago. Thank you -Lemon)
* Makes camera shaking more smooth
Makes shake_camera use more then instant steps for its animates. The concept is to not respect duration quite so
strictly. So instead of instantly moving, we get the distance to travel, pick the lower of the two numbers to
preserve some jerk, and multiply it by tile size * 0.7. So effectively 0.7 ticks per tile. I've found this works
reasonably well for making shaking events look less shit, though there is room to make it a preference option in
future, since this number could go between 0 for the old behavior, and say 5 for slow but not say, visually
hasurdus speeds.
* Makes large close range explosions shake more then far out ones
The old system for calculating explosion shake was sqrt(delta/10) when the delta could really only ever go up to
like 20. So it maxed out at 1.3 or so, which doesn't really fit being hit directly by a bomb. I hate old coders.
I'm changing the fomula to sqrt(range/(dist + 1)), which works out to roughly 4.5 at 20 near_distance, which is
a maxcap. Scales reasonably fast, 4 tiles or so, so this primarially effects getting hit full on with a big
bomb
Fixes a ton of harddels, sourced from #59996
I think this brings us down to like, ~100 per round from ~200, with only like 20 of those being proper hell failures. I've seen harddel profiles below 1 second of total cost. Feeling good.
See you on the other side
Makes the cryopod control computer into a weakref, never trust bee code
Converts brig door timer internal lists to weakrefs
Fixes a harddel caused by qdeling a motion sensitive camera after it had left its source area, jesus christ why didn't we do this already holy shit
Converts the radio implant ref held by the antenna mutation to weakrefs because it isn't reliably cleaned up, makes the radio implant actually qdel its fucking radio
Removes the target var from the throwing datum, it does literally nothing and just exists to cause harddels, mostly for the singularity
Fixes a cable harddel sourced from things that try to enter blueprints after smoothing, but before roundstart. IE, shuttles. Removes shuttles from the blueprints
Fixes emmisive blockers being added post qdel
Removes some manual ghosting from cryopods, I initially did this for harddel reasons, but I figured out a better fix for that. I'm now doing it because it's got this really strange logic for like "re-entering the game" that doesn't actually link to what the ghostize proc does. We should remove this at some point
Fixes robot hud objects harddeling due to hanging refs
Fixes buildmode related hanging refs, I'm coming for you admin team
Fixes a few instances of trying to add the forensics component post qdel, hhhhhhhhhhh
Fixes some split personality harddels/weirdness
Replaces a use of disconnect_duct with an init qdel hint, I suspect there's more issues with duct harddels, I've seen some odd logs about ahhh the area_contents list, but we can worry about that later
Makes teleporter targets into weakrefs, properly types them as /atom
Makes frequency devices into weakrefs
Makes cameras remove themselves from camera nets on Destroy
Makes tgui ui datums implement destroy, this means if I ever see one hang a ref to user or whatever, I know there's an error with calling close() properly. I've seen this harddel once, but not after this change so I assume there was some error with close(). IDK maybe this is a papering over? Would have to ask @stylemistake
I've seen logs of beartraps being in world post del, putting a return there just in case. The same is true of nerf darts, but I haven't really looked into that yet
Makes a shoe's ref to untying alerts a weakref, yes this is needed.
Moves clearing client_in_contents to the Login of the new mob. This prevents doing things like ghosting someone before a mob qdel causing harddels
Fixes a harddel set sourced from adding a status effect to a qdeleted thing. Is this an error? I'm honestly not sure.
Converts bsa code to weakrefs
Converts the partner var of heat exchangers to weakrefs
Converts camera assemblies to weakrefs
Fixes some dumb behavior with ammo casings and assuming you'll be on a turf post Destroy parent call
Fixes? merger related harddels, you were never cleared from your own members list, so origin objects would end up making a new list, creating harddels. Potential input from @ninjanomnom about the logic
Chasms store a static list of "falling atoms", which only exists for chasms that go somewhere else. This list wasn't being cleared of qdeleted objects, which is what happens when you fall in most chasms. Fixes this, and converts the list to weakrefs.
Fixes some runtimes in both sheet code, and the weather listener element. This is here because runtime spam made testing more of a pain, didn't think it needed its own pr
Fixes colorful reagent harddels sourced from reagents that were qdel'd before roundstart. I'm only like 50% sure this actually got it, but the issue may have been solved by #60174, so eh
Turns the nuke op antag datum's ref to the war button into a weakref
Fixes some holopad code that was not nulling refs all the time
Converts camera bugs to weakrefs, this was the result of the bug being "reworked" like 6 years back without taking the existing ref clearing into account. Whole item needs a redo, but this'll do for now.
Ensures that the both pulling and pullee refs are cleared on Destroy
The crew monitor held all users in a non clearing list, makes that list a weakref because I hate everything
Oh and I removed all sources of gas_mixture qdeletion, I'm kinda unsure on this since it's not technically supported, but any harddels from it might? indicate something going wrong with like, gas passing logic. I'd like @MrStonedOne's thoughts, since I trust him to call me an idiot if I'm wrong.

I crashed sybil like 10 times to get this data, I'm gonna put it to good use. Don't think you're safe sybilites, I'm coming for you.
