## About The Pull Request
You can right-click the Atmos Holofan projector in-hand to make the
holograms more transparent and unclickable
Only lasts for 40 seconds if you don't toggle it off yourself
## Why It's Good For The Game
Sometimes you want to pipe under the holofan or put a machine there, and
it's frustrating having to alt-click the tile for every action since you
can't see anything under the holofan

## About The Pull Request
If you disassemble an AI which was in the round from the start it will
produce a Positronic Cube rather than an MMI with the brain of that
player's usual human character in it.
Also I made changes to a couple of feedback balloon alerts which would
always trigger a runtime when constructing or deconstructing an AI, this
was because balloon alerts have a small time delay before executing and
we deleted the AI mob or structure after trying to show a balloon alert
on them, so they'd never appear.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Honestly this is _mostly_ about vibes, it has annoyed me since AI
deconstruction was added that Nanotrasen AIs tend to actually be brains
in jars rather than AIs. Now they're artifical.
It does also mean that you can't deconstruct the AI and then put its
brain into a human body, which is similarly mostly bad because of vibes:
If you sign up as an AI I think you should be an AI or a cyborg even
after deconstruction.
It also universally looks really stupid when you deconstruct an AI and
it says it has the brain of Penelope Dreadful in there, like should I
expect them to start RPing as their normal character instead of the AI
they have been playing all round now?
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Roundstart AIs are now made of positronic cubes, rather than
brains inside MMIs

## About The Pull Request
So after getting feedback on fitness I've decided to make some balance
changes:
- ~~Every level of fitness now increases max hp. At max legendary
fitness, all the hp bonuses combined results in a total of +25 max hp~~
- Fitness now decreases the time it takes to firemany carry by 0.33
seconds per level. (At max fitness, this means a decrease of 2 seconds)
- Exercise status effect triggers the exercise mood event and goes away
when the exercise status effect is gone
- The better your fitness level, the more happiness you gain from the
mood event
- Decreased the fitness timers and effects by half and tweaked a few
other values
- Increased the nutrition cost of working out
- Removed doubles metabolism exercise effect
I'd also like this test merged to see if anymore minor tweaks need to be
made.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fitness effects on gameplay were pretty underwhelming. This was
deliberate since there is a concern about prisoners being able to abuse
it in quite a lot of scenarios. ~~Adding a small boost to max hp is nice
given that the downside is a bigger target.~~
Another problem was that the double metabolism rate resulted in a lot of
the diet effects being metabolised before you could convert them into
exercise gains. So this was removed.
People would also hit their bench max rather quickly and then spend a
long duration sleeping. Ideally I wanted people to spend more time
working out than sleeping, so I halved the duration values so it takes
them longer to achieve maxxing out.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Fitness level decreases the time it takes to firemany carry
someone. Fitness level determines how much of a positive mood the
workout grants. Working out is now more difficult and requires more
nutrition.
balance: Exercise no longer triggers double metabolism.

## About The Pull Request
FOV as it is currently implemented is incompatible* with wallening.
I'm doin wallening, so we gotta redo things here.
The issue is the masking of mobs. Wallening relies on sidemap (layering
based off physical position), which only works on things on the same
plane (because planes are basically sheets we render down onto)
So rather then masking mobs, let's reuse the masking idea from old fov,
and use it to cut out a bit of the game render plane, and
blur/over-saturate the bit that's masked out.
My hope is this makes things visible in light, but not as much in
darkness, alongside making more vivid shit more easily seen (just like
real life)
Here's some videos, what follows after is the commits I care about
(since I had to rip a bunch of planes to nothing, so the files changed
tab might be a bit of a mess)
Oh also I had to remove the darkness pref since the darkness is doing a
lot of the heavy lifting now. I'm sorry.
Edit:
NEW FOV SPRITES! Thanks dongle your aviator glasses will guide us to a
better future.

## Commits I Care About
[Implements something like fov, but without the planes as layers
hell](a604c7b1c8)
Rather then masking out mobs standing behind us, we use a combo color
matrix and blur filter to make the stuff covered by fov harder to see.
We achive this by splitting the game plane into two, masking both by fov
(one normally and one inversely), and then applying effects to one of
the two.
I want to make the fov fullscreens more gradient, but as an effect this
is a good start
[Removes WALL_PLANE_UPPER by adding a WALL_PLANE overlay to material
walls (init cost comes
here)](2548933739)
@Mothblocks see this. comment in commit explains further but uh, we need
to draw material walls to the light mask plane so things actually can be
seen on them, but we can't do that and also have them be big, so they
get an overlay. Sorry, slight init time bump, about 0.5 seconds. I can
kill it with wallening.
[Moves SEETHROUGH_PLANE above
ABOVE_GAME_PLANE](beec4c00e0)
I don't think it actually wants to draw here
@Time-Green I think this was you so pinging for opinion
[Resprites FOV masks to be clean (and more
consistent)](f02ad13696)

###### * It's technically possible if we start using render targets to

## About The Pull Request
Morgue trays will now appear green if there's a revivable person within
the morgue tray with a key/ghost attached. They will make periodic beeps
every minute, which can be turned off.
Morgue trays and freezers now have an internal gasmix which
automatically cools down to -60 celsius degrees. As a result of this,
organs will not take damage when temperatures are below 0 celsius
degrees.
If an organ is within a carbon, it will take from the carbon's body
temperature instead of the external temperature. This means that if they
are covered in insulating wear, organs can still take damage if in a
freezer or morgue since their body temperature won't decrease
immediately.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Morgue trays are in a somewhat bad place with how they require you to
stay in your body if you are revivable so that they appear green. This
changes that. They're also supposed to preserve organs but they fail at
doing that, so organ preservation has been overhauled completely to be
more interesting.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Organs can now be preserved by putting them in freezing
temperatures.
balance: Morgue trays and freezers will now cool down the contents
placed inside of them.
balance: Morgue trays will now properly display if someone stored within
them is revivable and make periodic beeps every minute.

## About The Pull Request
Implements half of this (with some minor changes):
The ultimate goal of this is to split our attack chain in two:
- One for non-combat item interactions
- Health analyzer scanning
- using tools on stuff
- surgery
- Niche other interactions
- One for combat attacking
- Item hit thing, item deal damage.
- Special effects on attack would go here.
This PR begins this by broadining tool act into item interact.
Item interact is a catch-all proc ran at the beginning of attack chain,
before `pre_attack` and such, that handles the first part of the chain.
This allows us to easily catch item interaction and cancel the attack
part of the chain by using deliberate bitflag return values, rather than
`TRUE` / `FALSE`*.
*Because right now, `TRUE` = `cancel attack`, no matter what, which is
unclear to people.
Instead of moving as much as possible to the new proc in this PR, I
started by doing some easy, obvious things. More things can be moved in
the future, or technically they don't even need to move in a lot of
cases.

This flag only worked on the `/obj/structure` and `/obj/machinery`
level, so let's rescope it from `flags_1` and put it where it belongs -
`obj_flags`.
Bitflag operators should be scoped to their subtype specific bitfield,
not really useful to have this take up a spot on the `/atom` level if
absolutely nothing other than `/obj`s use it.
## About The Pull Request
God, alright, here we go. See HackMD here:
https://hackmd.io/@Higgin/HJljdBuNp
Alternative proposal to #79849 addressing the big problems with
virology. ~~If you need a HackMD for it, I'll put one together, but I
made a comment on that PR and can make it pretty simple here.~~ its done
1. Makes viruses eventually self-cure as long as you're alive. If you
can keep somebody from dying, they can develop immunity.
2. Makes it so you can sleep comfortably and be well-fed to slow and
even potentially defeat viruses without a cure.
3. Makes it so more dangerous viruses can start self-curing faster. This
means Space Ebola is going to burn itself out quicker if a person stays
alive from the other effects.
4. Makes spaceacillin helpful in naturally curing viruses, period, but
with declining effectiveness over 100 cycles.
5. Makes it so curing a virus naturally without being well-fed or having
rode it out from the peak may allow you to be reinfected/not have
natural immunity.
6. Makes it so being well-fed is a much stronger protection against
random virus spread.
7. Makes it so bypasses_immunity stuff like fungal TB and heart failure
isn't subject to any of this.
8. Makes it so using ~~antibiotics~~ spaceacillin jesus christ or being
malnourished can make you lose your healing viruses too. Pay attention
to what you put in your body.
9. ** Makes it so blood can ~~transmit resistances again, not just
vaccines. It's been a hot minute, but it used to work like this.~~ blood
now can cure a virus if the donor has a resistance, but it doesn't
confer lasting immunity. You need to overcome the virus yourself, carry
a constant supply of pure blood, or get a vaccine to get a lasting fix.
10. ** makes severity a function of disease stats and all active
symptoms - not just the highest severity of the active symptoms.
11. ** makes it so you can nosell symptoms firing with spaceacillin or
resting down to a minimum chance of cure_chance to avoid symptoms each
cycle, declining over time, over 100 cycles for a given disease.
12. ** makes it so wearing protective equipment prevents you from
spreading respiratory-spread diseases normally - not just on the
cough/sneezing symptoms.
13. ** gives MDs virology access standard, paramedics and coroners
virology access on skeleton crew. virologists also get pharmacy access.
14. ** makes bypasses_immunity advanced diseases always override
non-bypasses_immunity advanced diseases and resist being overridden by
other advanced diseases. Sentient Disease now has bypasses_immunity.
Sentient Disease fans rejoice!
15. ** also gives SD a buffer of extra stealth points so it has a bit
longer to build up instead of almost uniformly getting spotted and dying
early.
16. ** viruses now scale their severity as a function of their max
symptoms. There's a lot more room to get viruses of varying duration and
severity by adding fewer symptoms now - so creating a tradeoff between
stats (and good thresholds) and the duration of your virus.
17. ** a whole bunch of defines to control all of this stuff - most
recently added a multiplier for symptom appearance frequency.

[Viro Rework Rebalance
Tests.pdf](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/files/13447208/Viro.Rework.Rebalance.Tests.pdf)
After a shitload of testing, makes some of the most reliable,
transmissible killers into less-reliable threats. See the above graphs
and pictures for demonstrations of exactly how this was tested and done.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It sucks to be hard-stuck to needing chemistry and medical to deal with
viruses that somebody can randomly blast out without a care in the
world, then be left to sit around waiting to die or otherwise be unable
to do anything as the max-level symptoms fire off on repeat.
This should put curing and surviving viruses much more back in the hands
of normal crew without always ending up at the chemistry front window,
although that is still the fastest and most reliable way to get better.
This also nerfs healing viruses a bit, or makes them a bit less
fire-and-forget if you fail to attend to your body. There's more I'd
like to do in the future and potentially some of the other classic
viruses that could use bypasses_immunity added, values tweaked, but for
now - this seems like the best way to preserve virology as a level of
depth and complexity in the game in a way that rewards people doing
intuitive things to counterplay it when used harmfully.
This also puts more of the mid-range bad symptoms into a better place
balance-wise because the worst ones pretty much only fire at max stages.
With the way this works out, you bounce back and forth between the max
stage and lower stages before, over time, trending towards a cure.
Symptoms that provide more significant effects at lower stages now have
a place that isn't totally overshadowed by the killdeath stage 5 ARDS +
junk symptoms virus Dr. Ambatu Popov shat out in five minutes (as long
as you survive the initial run-in with it.)
## Changelog
🆑
balance: most diseases can now be slowed, mitigated, and eventually
cured through being well-fed, resting, and using spaceacillin. Curing
diseases through this way will give you immunity if you experience them
at their peak/maximum and aren't starving/malnourished when they cure.
balance: disease symptoms can be forestalled for up to 100 cycles with a
declining chance of avoiding them over time using rest or spaceacillin.
balance: This does not apply to things like fungal TB; it does apply to
healing viruses if you don't take care of yourself by staying fed and
avoiding spaceacillin.
balance: disease can be cured through direct injection or ingestion of
cured blood. However, curing disease in this way does not provide
lasting immunity. You need to naturally beat the virus or get a vaccine
for that.
balance: Wearing internals or using protective equipment while infected
can limit the spread of respiratory illnesses from yourself to others.
Contact transmission is still possible however.
balance: Medical Doctors now have roundstart virology access. Paramedics
and coroners now get virology access on skeleton shift access.
Virologists now have roundstart pharmacy access.
balance: Sentient Diseases now resist being overridden by other advanced
diseases and can always override other advanced diseases; they also have
an extra bonus on their stealth stat to help make up for early outing
without a bit more testing.
balance: biohazard lockers now also contain a syringe of spaceacillin
(in line with the orderable kit from cargo.)
balance: Virus severity is now also a function of the number of symptoms
out of max your virus has. Experiment with different combinations using
less than six symptoms to make viruses that are deceptively less-obvious
and less quick to self-cure at the tradeoff of stats.

## About The Pull Request
Ok so you know all the dmis we have that are made to work with the
smoothing system? carpets, walls, etc.
The proper way to edit those is to convert them into a png with 5
"states' it in (one for 0 connections, one for horizontal, one for
vertical, one for all cardinals and one for all directions) and then
modify THAT, then run it through [the cutter
tool.](https://github.com/tgstation/icon-cutter)
But none ever does that, because we explain it fucking nowhere. So
instead, let's keep all those "base" files in the repo, alongside the
configs they work with, and "cut" the pngs into dmis as a part of the
build process.
I wrote a guide for how to interact with this system as a spriter, you
can find it
[HERE](https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/tgstation/blob/slice-the-sky/icons/Cutter.md).
[Adds a icon cutter build
task](52143d2e96)
This relies on action ninja's hypnagogic (find more
[here](https://github.com/actioninja/hypnagogic)), a rust based icon
cutter.
It operates inline with the file structure, searching the codebase for
templates and resource files and compiling them down to dmis.
It can do way more then just bitmask stuff, but that is what we are
using it for rn.
Hope is to prevent for eternity the "I'm just gonna edit each of these
255 icon states that's how this carpet was made right?" meme, and allow
more expansive use of smoothing in future
[Adds a lint that ensures config files work
right](21eeab9cf8)
Checks to ensure they have a paired png and dmi, and also avoids issues
with uncompiled changes by double checking that nothing happens
before/after a cutter run
[Pulls all non smoothed states out of structures into bespoke
dmis](a730e0cb47)
This is required because the cutter cannot output named icon states,
only the actual cut icon
[Does something similar to
walls](40780e9481)
Moves reinforced walls decon stuff from their icon to a var on the type
and a set of states in the reinforced_states dmi
Moves falsewalls into their own dmi, this involved some changes to
gamecode to ensure falsewalls knew which dmi to use and what key.
Makes falsewalls display as such in editor rather then just walls
Moves smoothrock's gibonite overlays into their own file for similar
reasons
[Same thing different day
(Floors)](9a3da3b697)
Pulls bespoke floor icon states into their own file, splits up neon
carpets into multiple files to make cutting possible
[Actually adds the cut templates and their matching png
files](1bd8920dc9)
Not much to report here, outside of I changed the prefix for bamboo
walls to bamboo_wall so it works with false_walls
## Why It's Good For The Game
None should have to manually edit cut dmis. Ever.
Also this makes adding a new smoothed thing trivial, don't even need to
know what tool you're using to do it. V good v good.
Sets us up nicely for wallening's well, wall of sprites.
Some structural decisions, we are essentially committing build artifacts
here. That's the best way of handling it because otherwise mappers could
need to run build.bat before opening a map, and that is stupid!

refactor: (Almost) all smoothed icons can now be edited in their pre cut
forms

## About The Pull Request
`/obj/structure/closet/crate/maint` was a type of crate that spawned a
completely different crate, and then deleted itself. I have decided to
swap this out for an actual spawning effect.
I have also did some subtypery to remove some duplicate code that
handled randomly opening the spawned closet/crate (through I am not that
satisfied with
`/obj/effect/spawner/random/structure/closet_empty/crate/with_loot` as a
sensible typepath name, I would like to ask for suggestions). I also
removed a loot define, because it was no longer needed as its contents
were used on a single page.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Things that act like spawners should be spawners.
Maybe this fixes the CI issue on northstar where a mousetrap box gets
deleted before it initializes during create and destroy? It was placed
above a spawner that spawned one of these self deleting crates. I am
unsure, I could not replicate this issue during testing.

## About The Pull Request
I decided to look at why everyone loves (and I despise) Christmas too
much, and was met with a lot of smelly code. In fact, some of it was
completely busted! Let's fix several things.
* We no longer use a GLOB for "every possible item you can cram into a
gift box", we now use static lists scoped to the proc. That saves us
some pollution for something that really didn't need it (and only was
set up that way for cacheing I believe). We also static-cache stuff that
we weren't doing previously, to save even more work (in anticipation for
entropic heat death of universe).
* Repaths `/obj/item/a_gift` to `/obj/item/gift`. I never liked the old
path and this new one is cleaner. This also uncovered a bug.
* Mappers would var-edit gifts to have a unique mapped-in type, but the
code never respected this. I fixed it so the behavior should now respect
that rather than override the variable on Initialize(). Now the goat
plushie gift will always have said goat plushie rather than just any
toy.
* Procs should now have the proper arg nomenclature.
* Also just cleans up a lot of single letter variables and the like.
There was some cooked shit that's now alphabetized and nicely
multilined.

So after #77858 was merged an unintentional side effect was rcd could no
longer build directional windows on grills if they already existed on
the turf. Sure rcd won't build a grill and then build a directional
window on top of that but if a grill already exists on the turf the rcd
should still be able to build directional windows on that grill as it
helps in repairing mapped in directional windows and such.
If you want to build a grill first set the mode to full tile window,
build the grill and then switch to directional window to build a window
on top of that grill. Or just select directional window mode and build
the windows directly without a grill, choice is yours

## About The Pull Request
### Tackling Outcomes
Tackling now determines success based on outcome categories. These are
derived from the typical attacker/defender roll that would have
previously determined the outcome on its own. A negative roll results in
a negative outcome, a positive roll a positive outcome, and a result of
exactly 0 resulting in a neutral outcome.
The result of your roll are then passed along to the relevant proc to
determine severity. The derived roll is multiplied by 10 (or -10 for the
negative roll to get a positive value to roll with). Then we see if our
final roll fits a severity bracket. Negative outcomes will roll to
determine their outcome, and potentially could roll a less severe
outcome than what our first roll would suggest.
For positive outcomes, the defender's melee armor reduces the severity
of the outcome.
For negative outcomes, the attacker's melee armor improves the potential
outcome and at least prevents more severe backlash. It'll still be
negative, you can't move from a negative outcome to a positive outcome
just from good armor.
Most of the outcomes are fairly similar to the current outcomes, but
with the inclusion of staggering one or both parties to make the
subsequent potential grabs _stickier_, if that makes sense.
Neutral is now a mutual stagger, but also the tackler being left
upright. It's effectively net zero.
### Blocking
Blocking is checked on impact, and results in a neutral outcome if the
defender successfully blocks. This means our tackler isn't too severely
impacted from an unsuccessful tackle
### Additional Changes
Your arms ``unarmed_effectiveness`` now contributes to the attack mod
and defense mod of tackles. For humans tackling humans, this often
results in a net neutral result. But if you have a better arm, or the
tackle target has worse arms, this can alter the outcome significantly.
Any tackler with the trait TRAIT_NOGUNS (like bezerkers, Sleeping Carp
users or the very unlikely chance ninjas are tackling while wearing
their armor) gains a bonus to their tackles.
Any suit that prevents shove knockdowns grants an attack bonus, and not
just riot armor. This now includes Mk.1 Swat suits, the ones from the
SWAT crate in cargo.
Settlers are vulnerable to tackles, much like their dwarf cousins.
They're also just as bad at tackles.
Security lockers come with gripper gloves, and the sec vendor has 5 sets
of gripper gloves as standard items. They also have a +1 skill bonus.
This should encourage people to use tackling a bit more without having
to always seek out the best gear to accomplish the task. (particularly
since security is inherently pretty good at tackling with the outcome
changes).
The HoS gets a pair of gorilla gloves in his garment bag. If he wants
them.
The shove slowdown is now a new status effect, Staggered. This is just
better functionality overall. Any instance of adding the shove slowdown
now makes our target staggered.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Tackling is a bit outdated, to say the least. Not much content has been
added for a while that isn't strictly meme content. With these changes,
tackling should be slightly more nuanced, considering elements such as
unarmed effectiveness, the presence of martial arts, and actually
properly checking block rather than notionally checking block. There is
also more opportunity to protect yourself from tackle outcomes, both
positive and negative.
It also should be a little fairer to be on the receiving end of tackles
if you have taken the time to layer up defenses against it. Attackers
often overwhelmed defenders due to numbers favoring attackers more than
defenders.
Closes some really outdated design that was resulting in some really
bizarre behaviour with regards to layered defenses against attack not
having the same meaning against tackles, if only because it was looking
for the wrong things and not even the correct parts of what it was
looking for. Namely, blocking and shielding.
The inclusion of more gripper gloves and a good outcome from using them
will hopefully incentivize people to consider tacking as a useful tool,
if a bit risky still due to the splat mechanics.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Judo Joe, archnemesis of Maint Khan, has begun re-airing his
midnight infomercials shilling his extremely expensive Tackle Supreme
Judo Karate Training video tapes. Unable to pass up a 'bargain',
Nanotrasen has purchased these tapes en masse. Tackling techniques have
started to improve, as well as Nanotrasen's tackling instructional
algorithms within tackle gloves.
balance: The outcomes for tackling are more equalized. It isn't as feast
or famine, and should be somewhat more controllable without becoming too
severe.
add: Blocking successfully against a tackle will force the tackle to be
a neutral outcome.
add: Unarmed effectiveness from arms now contributes to attacking with
and defending from tackles.
add: Those who refuse to use firearms (like Sleeping Carp users and
insane unholy berzerkers) are better at tackling others.
add: Riot specialized armor, and not just riot armor, now contributes
meaningfully to tackling effectiveness.
balance: MK.1 Swat Suits, the ones that come in SWAT crates, now
functions similarly to riot armor.
add: Settlers from the outer rims have noticed they aren't very good at
protecting themselves against Judo Joe's clearly discriminatory tackling
techniques.
add: Security lockers come with gripper gloves, security vendors now
sell them as standard items, and the HoS' garment bag now has a pair of
gorilla gloves. Gripper gloves have a positive skill bonus to tackling.
add: Being insane also makes you INSANELY good at tackling but also
INSANELY likely to eat shit on a whiff. DO OR DIE, BITCH.
refactor: Shoving slowdown and all its implementations now use a status
effect, Staggered.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#59037.
This PR makes heads on pikes actually appear properly offset so that
they're impaled on the spike instead of halfway down the shaft. In
addition, the heads will actually appear on the correct layer, rather
than sometimes being rendered on the _UI layer._ This means they will
not inexplicably be visible to blind players.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Judging from the screenshots in the PR that added these six years ago,
this has actually _never_ looked correct. For the first time, this makes
heads on pikes actually look like they're meant to, rather than having
way too much of the spear shoved out the top of the head.
Also, fixes a fairly egregious rendering error that makes blind people
see mysterious heads in the void.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79764
I was going to tackle this issue by slamming `TRAIT_NO_SLIP_ALL` on
Atrocinator users and calling it a day, but like, that didn't feel
proper.
So I thought hey, we could just give them the flying movetype, even
though they technically aren't flying it means they're unaffected by
things that flying would make you unaffected by.
Nope, this means the mob technically "negates gravity", so no falling
and no feetsteps.
Let's try floating - this give us feetsteps but no falling upwards.
So instead of going back to square one, with `TRAIT_NO_SLIP_ALL`, I
decided to go for the more complex route of just adding a movetype.
Hence, move type `UPSIDE_DOWN`. This covers situations where a mob would
be "floating" above the ground, but still walking. ...Negative gravity.
This means overall the Atrociator acts more as you'd expect - you don't
slip on ice, you don't trigger bear traps or mouse traps, you can walk
over railings, unaffected by conveyor belts, etc.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes the Atrocinator a lot more consistent with how you'd expect for it
to work.
Admittedly it is a bit niche use of movetypes, but it can possibly be
expanded to more things in the future, who knows? I applied it to mobs
on meat spikes (even though they don't move), just for proof of concept.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Atrocinating mobs will now behave more as you'd expect. Meaning
they don't slip on wet patches, can't trigger bear traps / landmines /
mouse traps, ignore conveyors, and can walk over tables and railings.

ground), glass tables
fix: Floating mobs won't squish stuff like roaches anymore
fix: Fixes bear traps triggering on floating / flying mobs

## About The Pull Request
Ports icemoon wolves over to the basic mob framework with a bit of extra
stuff:
- Wolves call for help when attacked within a decently large radius.
Because you know, pack animals.
- Wolves can now be tamed with a slab of meat
- When tamed, wolves can be ridden like goliath mounts. Ride wolf, life
good. Pretend you're playing ARK and start shivering to death in thatch
huts for that High Roleplay experience.
- Tamed wolves have access to a bunch of pet commands (following, point
fetching, point attacking, play dead, etc) and will also defend their
owners vehemently if they're attacked.
You can probably tame multiple if you wanted to.
## Why It's Good For The Game
What part about riding wolves isn't entertaining? I don't really play
/tg/ that much so I can't argue too much about the balance implications
this might pose, but it's undoubtedly a stupid little gimmick and is
likely to be used by bored assistants and miners with too much time on
their hands.
Especially robust individuals will probably find a million things to do
with a basic mob capable of fetching, attacking on command and generally
being able to defend themselves decently well.
## Changelog
🆑 yooriss
refactor: Icemoon wolves now use the basic mob framework and should act

add: Icemoon wolves can be tamed with slabs of meat and can be ridden as

most of the pet commands you'd expect, such as fetching things, and
violently mauling people their owners point at.

Fixes#76349
I didn't know that people needed to add any new traits to a global list
so they can be easily read in View Variables, and was pretty shocked to
find out many other people didn't know it was a thing. Let's make it a
thing by testing it using a new CI Python Linter to check this. But oh
no-
There were about 200+ missing traits. Alright, so let's do the
following:
* Move trait defines to their own dedicated folder in the `_DEFINES`
folder.
* Split up the traits mega-file into different files, for better
organization. One for the macros, one for the sources, and a few for the
"trait declarations"
* Run the linter a load of times and add everything to the globalvars
file, removing anything that's no longer used and figuring out where the
best categorization of it is. also minor code improvements. also rename
all of the ones that look weird. also fix list indentations
* Also alphabetize the lists because it's easy
* Move everything to a new `traits_by_type` list, while keeping the
admin one the way it is for the time being while we figure out a better
way to show that list to admins.
* Profit
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mapping trait injectors will now work for any type of trait. You
shouldn't add any trait via this injector though, but you're no longer
limited to coders remembering to add it to that critical list you
needed.
Lays the framework for a better view variables experience. This work is
too lengthy to presently do, but hopefully we can get this done sooner
rather than later. we will need a code-accessible way to view these
traits for such a framework to be implemented, so let's just do that.
Future steps are to break down the mega-declarations file into a folder
full of separate files by typepath, but that requires a lot of auditing.
Does need to happen one day though, there's a lot of mob traits mingled
with datum traits and auuugh we gotta do this later this PR is already
massive.
there's probably ways to game this but this catches _my_ mistakes so
good luck to everyone else (it should work for 99% of everyone)
## Changelog
Nothing applicable to players. However, to mappers, the mapping trait
injector should always be able to add any kind of trait (which is rather
good for the times when you need it).
## About The Pull Request
More code improvements for reagent holder. As you can see it removes a
lot more code than it adds so code savings are significant. This does
not touch on any floating point arithmetic, all that is behind us, this
focuses on removing redundant procs and merging existing procs to
achieve the same functionality so if you do see any changes in reagent
related behaviour it's not intentional and should be reported as a bug
here.
The following code changes can be summarized into points.
**1. Removes procs `get_master_reagent_id()` &
`get_master_reagent_name()`**
Both of these procs have the exact same functionality as
`get_master_reagent()` with the only exception of returning a different
value. Instead we can just call `get_master_reagent()` directly and
infer the name & type of it ourselves rather than creating a wrapper
proc to do it for us, therefore reducing overall code
**2. Removes & Merges `remove_all_type()` proc into `remove_reagent()`**
The proc `remove_all_type()` is highly inefficient, it first uses a for
loop to look for the reagent to remove & then it again calls
`remove_reagent()` on the reagent once it has found it. We can just
embed this functionality directly into `remove_reagent()` by simply
adding an additional parameter `include_subtypes`. This way the
operation is faster, and we reduce the code to get the job done. Also
now `remove_reagent()` will return the total volume of reagents removed
rather that a simple TRUE/FALSE
**3. Removes & Merges `trans_id_to()` proc into `trans_to()`**
Both these procs have the same job of transferring either a single
reagent or all reagents. `trans_id_to()` is a scaled down version of
`trans_to()` because
- It does not have any `method` var. This means if you want to transfer
a single reagent to a mob/organ or any other object it does not have the
functionality to expose the target to that transferred reagent.
- It does not have a `multiplier` var to scale reagent volumes
- It does not have code to deal with organs or stop reactions i.e. it
does not have the `no_react` var.
We can overcome all these short comings by simply adding an extra var
`target_id` to specify what specific reagent to transfer therefore
attaining the same functionality while keeping the benefits of
`trans_to()` proc therefore reducing overall code
**4. Lowers plumbing reaction chamber tick usage for balancing ph.**
Rather than invoking a while loop to balance ph it's much easier for the
player to simply make the reaction chamber wait for e.g. add a reagent
that will never come. This will make the chamber wait therefore giving
the reaction chamber ample time to correctly balance the ph and then
remove that reagent from the list therefore getting correct ph levels.
No need to create code hacks when the player can do it themselves so
the while loop has been removed
## Changelog
🆑
code: removed redundant procs `get_master_reagent_id()` &
`get_master_reagent_name()`
code: merged `remove_all_type()` proc with `remove_reagent()` now this
proc can perform both functions. `remove_reagent()` now returns the
total volume of reagents removed rather than a simple TRUE/FALSE.
code: merged `trans_id_to()` proc with `trans_to()` now this proc can
perform both functions
refactor: plumbing reaction chamber will now use only a single tick to
balance ph of a solution making it less efficient but more faster. Just
make the reaction chamber wait for longer periods of time to accurately
balance ph

## About The Pull Request
this pr transforms gutlunchers into basic mobs and gives them a small
ranch that ashwalkers can manage. gutlunches come in various colors and
sizes! female gutlunches will come in different shades of red and males
will come in shades of blue. the child born will have a mix of his
parent's colors.
female gutlunches can make various healing milk and medicine from its
udder. but it will need to consume ores before it can start making milk,
u can either feed it by hand or u can put ores in the wooden trough and
they will go eat from it whenever they get hungry. feeding it gold or
bluespace ore will improve the healing quality of the milk for a short
while
the male gutlunchers are obedient pets. their stats vary from one
another in speed, attack and health. a male gutlunchers stats will
depend on the stats of his parents, the higher his parent's stats are
the better chances he has at rolling higher stats. so u can selectively
breed them to make sure they have the best stats possible. they will
listen to all ur commands and can mine walls or attack enemies if given
the command. also i wanted the farm to have wood fences so i added them
to the game, they cost 5 wood planks to make

Basically we did a lot of assumptions that we really shouldn't do in the
whole magical mirror framework (like having a boolean value for magical
mirrors, what?). Anyways, I just made the UX experience a lot better
when it came to bearded persons with feminine physiques to easily shave
off their beard with an additional confirmatory prompt + details as well
as keeping the nature of the magical mirror (giving you a swagadocious
beard due to magic™️) intact.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There was a lot of convoluted code that skipped through the quality
filter checks (it was me i think) so let's both make the code far easier
to grasp as well as ensure that people who legitimately acquire beards
and wish to keep them, keep them.
We were also doing some FUCK shit on attack_hand and the like
(overriding a FALSE return signal to return TRUE is not what we should
be doing there)- so that's also cleaned up.

This helps clean up my favorite helper proc in the whole codebase,
`notify_ghosts()`.
The notify_suiciders, ignore_mapload, and flashwindow args are GONE.
They have been replaced with the notify_flags bitflag argument. This was
intended to make deadchat announcements a bitflag argument too, but
those got reverted right before I originally wanted to submit this PR.
The on-screen popup now shows the notification body when you hover it
with your mouse again. The format is now `[notify_ghosts message] --
[click action (orbit/jump/play)]`
Every single `notify_ghosts()` call has been changed to multiline format
and has been given trailing commas. Pretty!
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleans up a proc that is very popular and going through a lot of changes

## About The Pull Request
Should be a good first step towards reducing the behavior declared in
#79411, but since I couldn't get a good reproduction case, we'll have to
live with that.
Basically, our SIGNAL_HANDLER procs were using some way outdated
arguments, causing some bits of the code to seem rather... illogical (we
thought the old location was the new location??? it's wack). Anyways, I
just gutted most of it and kept the same overall behavior that only
lives on signals rather than doing weird stuff with proc overrides.
## Why It's Good For The Game
If it doesn't root out the cause of the aforementioned issue, it should
be far easier to figure out what the true issue is (when we get a proper
reprod. case) beyond having weird arguments on our signals.
## Changelog
I'm not certain if this fixes the issue but if it does, yippie. Worst
case scenario it's a good code improvement- neither of those are good
enough to show to players.
## About The Pull Request
Last one! Makes proteons into a basic mob, and completely removes the
simple_animal construct supertype.
Proteons aren't really designed to be played by a player, instead being
a nuisance mapped into various ruins and traps. As such, they don't
really have any special abilities. Instead, the hostile variant has a
somewhat unique behavior. They'll viciously attack anyone who comes
close, but, being frail little cowards, if a proteon takes damage it
will immediately flee. After a random period between 2 and 4 seconds, it
will stop fleeing and come back for more.
In addition to this, a few other things have been done, some only
related because they're in files I touched.
- Moved proteons from the file for the Cleric's Den to their own file in
the basic constructs folder. Given that they're used in several
different ruins, they might as well not just be in the file for one.
- Simple constructs have been cut, and with them the procs for
healing/repairing on shades and cult structures, as those are no longer
needed.
- Because I was touching it anyway, I touched up the file for trap
structures. They no longer use any one-letter variable names, and time
is now universally listed in seconds rather than deciseconds in that
file.
- I removed a completely unused blackboard key from ice demons. This is
something I noticed due to a change I ended up not making while working
on proteon AI, but I figured I might as well leave it gone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills the last three simple construct typepaths, bringing us to the
destined 19 removed. Huzzah!
The proteon AI routine should inject a little spice into fighting
proteons, especially for the unprepared - unlike many mobs, they won't
stand there and take it if you decide to fight back, but you can never
safely ignore them when they run away. They still aren't particularly
dangerous.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Proteon constructs now use the basic mob framework. The ones
encountered in ruins are a bit flightier now, and will briefly flee
combat if attacked - only so that they can return and menace you again
soon after. Please report any bugs.

## About The Pull Request
Closes#79297Closes#79312
Due to the new cutoff parameter being added to tesla_zap() (from
#78310), and most callers used positional arguments instead of keywords,
the zap flags was getting fed the shocked_targets list and maybe other
junk. This caused a bunch of unusual phenomena. This is fixed by using
keyword arguments.
Tesla zaps that use the grid were significantly weaker in terms of
damage than they're supposed to be. This was a byproduct of trying to
convert everything to joules and removing unnecessary power multipliers.
This is fixed by reverting the damage scaling and zap power of zap
sources that aren't based on grid. Technically this will cause the zaps
from other sources to have less power, but these tend to not be able to
put power on grid, so this wouldn't have any change other than what a
grounding rod displays. Doesn't really matter.
Logs machine explosions from zap_act. Not the most helpful log (would
take a lot of effort to add an extra parameter to pass the source), but
better than nothing.

## About The Pull Request
Brings the CQC kit back down to the same price range of 14 TC (it's 1
more than before weapon kits). It feels like currently that CQC is
overpriced, even with the stealth box coming along with it, and by
comparison the energy sword and shield got a huge value increase by
combining the two. They're both melee styles and also equally difficult
play styles. It isn't really necessary to make one more expensive than
the other. Also now comes with syndicate smokes. It's a whatever change,
ops get these for free on the base.
Adds a core gear kit in the weapon category. This kit comes with a
doormag, a freedom implant, stimpack and c-4 charge. All of these are
items almost every nukie buys if they want to succeed, so let's inform
newer players by putting it RIGHT on top of the list. This isn't at any
discount, this is mostly to help inform players what items help make you
successful.
Hat stabilizers are now a part of every syndicate modsuit for FREE. It
comes built in, can't be removed, and has no complexity cost. Now
everyone can wear their wacky hats as they operate.
## Why It's Good For The Game
CQC felt like it got shafted waaay too hard with the weapon case
changes. Definitely don't believe that it is punching at the same weight
as many of the other high cost weapons. So we've dropped it down a
category. 14 TC is still a large upfront cost, even if it comes bundled
with a lot of goods.
Melbert gave me the idea of a core bundle kit to help newer players and
I was really taken with that. So I added it as part of this followup.
I want people to wear their hats goddamnit, and I didn't learn my
mistake with the tool parcels. So now everyone has hat stands on their
suits. WEAR THE SOMBRERO YOU **FUCK**.
### THIS IS NOW A THREAT.

their bald helmet's unhatted state when they spot the captain, in their
MODsuit, wearing a hat on their helmet. The embarrassment has resulted
in more than a few operatives prematurely detonating their implants! BUT
NO LONGER! FASHION IS YOURS!
qol: There is now a Core Gear Box, containing a few essential pieces of
gear for success as an operative. This is right at the top of the

living flesh, it can replace your limbs with itself
the conditions for that are; the limb must have 20 or more brute, victim
must be alive and dismemberable, the limb may not be torso or head, or
the limb may not be living flesh
alternatively it can replace a missing limb
these are all checked with every attack
they have 20 hp
the limbs in question will sometimes act up, while passively draining
nutrition, arms will randomly start pulling nearby stuff, legs may step
randomly
limbs when detached, turn into mobs and reactivate AI 2 seconds later.
if the host is shocked, all living flesh limbs will detach, or if the
host dies they will also do that

## Why It's Good For The Game
ruin variety is cool i think
also the other things i added should be useful for other mappers for
bitrunning or whatever
also bug bad for that one fix
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
refactor: Adds charges to omens and omen smiting rather than only being
permanent or one-use. Mirrors now grant seven bad luckers.
qol: Reduces omen bad luck if nobody's nearby to witness the funny.
(Ghosts are included in the check!)
fix: Fixed an issue where a monkey check in doorcrushing was never
actually able to pass. Also they screech now.

Allows for someone to get between 1-infinity omen accidents. Seriously
why wasnt this a thing before
> qol: Reduces omen bad luck if nobody's nearby.
I LOVE this quirk, but trying to do antything at all except 'Suffer
Miserably' is nigh impossible. To alleviate life a little, making it so
that you have a lesser chance of suffering misfortune if nobody's around
will be the perfect compromise. It makes life easier but doesn't
compromise funny moments.
Any client in viewrange will disable the reduction. This includes
ghosts.

## About The Pull Request
First and foremost, converts all Nanotrasen simplemobs into basic mobs.
To avoid messy and redundant code, or god forbid, making Nanotrasen mobs
a subtype of Syndicate ones, I've made Syndicate, Russian, and
Nanotrasen mobs all share a unified "Trooper" parent. This should have
no effect on their behaviors, but makes things much easier to extend
further in the future.
While most of this PR is pretty cut-and-dry, I've done a couple notable
things. For one, all types of ranged trooper will now avoid friendly
fire, instead of shooting their friends in the back. Even the Russians
have trigger discipline.
I've also created a new AI subtree that allows mobs to call for
reinforcements. I've hopefully made this easy to extend, but the
existing version works as follows:
- A mob with this subtree that gains a target that is also a mob will
call out to all mobs within 15 tiles.
- If they share a faction, mobs receiving the call will have the target
added to their retaliate list, and have a new key set targeting the
calling mob.
- If they have the correct subtree in their AI controller, called-to
mobs will then run over to help out.
Sadly, this behavior is currently used only by a few completely unused
Nanotrasen mobs, so in practice it will not yet be seen.
Finally, I've fixed a minor issue where melee Russian mobs punch people
to death despite holding a knife. They now use the proper effects for
stabbing instead of punching.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Removes 8 more simple animals from the list.
As said above, making all "trooper" type mobs share a common parent cuts
down on code reuse, ensures consistency of behavior, and makes it much
easier to add new troopers not affiliated with these groups. I expect
that I'll make pirates share this same parent next.
The new "reinforcements" behavior, though extremely powerful, opens up
exciting new opportunities in the future. There aren't many existing
behaviors that allow basic mobs to work _together_ in interesting ways,
and I think adding some enemy teamwork could be fun.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Hostile Nanotrasen mobs now use the basic mob framework. This
should make them a little smarter and more dangerous. Please report any
bugs.
fix: Russian mobs will now actually use those knives they're holding.
