## About The Pull Request
After https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/80628, these shouldn't
be needed anymore right?
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleans up some vestigial code
## Changelog
EDIT: Not player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
Revived my old PR https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/68901
Replaces the annoying tgui alert popup "Do you want to be X? | Yes | No
| Never for this round" that is hard to read and steals window focus,
with a nice clean alert in the top right that counts down. If it's the
same event/mob they stack with 2x, 3x, etc. It also shows how many
candidates/ghosts are signed up.
The poll alerts have screentips too, they countdown and show if you're
signed up, how many people are signed up, if you chose "never for this
round" (which is cancelable)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Way easier to see what role is available, you get a nice pic of the role
and get it's name in big text, you can cancel "never for this round",
and you can cancel signing up for a role before the timer is up
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Ghost roles now offer ghosts a clickable poll button. Ghosts
can select a role, deselect it, alt-click it for "Never For This Round",
can cancel "Never", can see the countdown, and can see how many other
people are signed up for the role poll.

## About The Pull Request
The current admin announce is just notice span text, which is easily
missed mixed in with all the other white noise of the chat box.
Currently admins have to fill it with linebreaks or manually add their
own spans to increase visibility.
This updates the admin announcement proc to use the new alert box divs,
similar to other announcements, making it more visible.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Admin server-wide announcements are generally things you want the
players to notice
## Changelog
🆑 LT3
admin: Server wide admin announcements now use an alert box like other
announcements

## About The Pull Request
as we added a command role that isn't a head of staff, itd be good to
untie some checks from the command department
so i added a job flag for that, and moved what made sense to different
traits that are added to head of staff minds
## Why It's Good For The Game
revs (the gamemode not the players) shouldnt care about the bridge
assistant existing
## Changelog
🆑
fix: bridge assistant no longer passes some head of staff checks
qol: if you steal a command member's liver, you can now sabre better!
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
adds a station trait which adds a new role, the bridge assistant
he is designed to help commandeer the bridge and help out other heads
when needed. he is armed with the mini energy gun (the one heads used to
have on kilostation), a flash, a toolbelt (with an inducer), some cool
shades and a swanky scarf.
as he is a nerd he is weak and unable to twohand weapons, preventing him
from wielding the fire axe.
currently he does not have a mindshield but he cannot roll antag
he currently has access to the bridge, announcement console, eva,
teleporter, gateway, maint, and a weapon permit (somewhat (not really
other than for nerds) interestingly this is the first job that isnt
assistant that doesnt have access to any lathes, so he doesnt have orm
access unlike all the other jobs (except assistant))
the trait also makes a coffee machine spawn on the bridge
here is some useful art of your role
and ingame screenshots
## Why It's Good For The Game
Adds upon the station trait job system with a straight forward role that
IS just a human (unlike the cargorilla), and is pretty basic with no
custom assets or whatever other than hud icons
Having the bridge assistant in some rounds seems like a neat way to
protect it since it gets fucked up in like half the time, while also not
having enough mechanical depth or gameplay as to warrant it as a
permanent role
## Changelog

add: Bridge Assistant job accessible from a station trait.

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

## About The Pull Request
Organs were previously stored in nullspace. Now they are stored in their
prospective bodyparts. Bodyparts are now stored in the mob.
I've also had to refactor a lot of code concerning organ movement.
Previously, organs were only moved into bodyparts once the bodyparts
were removed. To accomodate this change, two major distinctions have
been made:
**Bodypart removal/insertion**
Called only when an organ is taken out of a bodypart. Bodypart overlays,
damage modifiers or other changes that should affect a bodypart itself
goes here.
**Mob insertion/removal**
Called when an organ is removed from a mob. This can either be directly,
by taking the organ out of a mob, or by removing the bodypart that
contains the organ. This lets you add and remove organ effects safely
without having to worry about the bodypart.
Now that we controle the movement of bodyparts and organs, we can fuck
around with them more. Summoning someones head or chest or heart will
actually kill them now (and quite violently I must say (chest summoning
gibs lol)).
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/7501474/5efc9dd3-cfd5-4ce4-b70f-d0d74894626e
I´ve also added a unit test that violently tears apart and reconstructs
a person in different ways to see if they get put toghether the right
way
This will definitely need a testmerge. I've done a lot of testing to
make sure interactions work, but more niche stuff or my own incompetence
can always slip through.
## Why It's Good For The Game
<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it
probably isn't good for the game in the first place. -->
A lot of organ work is quite restricted. You can't C4 someones heart,
you cant summon their organs and a lot of exceptions have to be made to
keep organs in nullspace. This lets organs (and bodyparts) play more
nicely with the rest of the game. This also makes it a lot easier to
move away from extorgans since a lot of their unique movement code has
been removed and or generalized.
I don't like making PRs of this size (I'm so sorry reviewers), but I was
in a unique position to replace the entire system in a way I couldn't
have done conveniently in multiple PRs

## About The Pull Request
This is an update that touches many more things all at once (compared to
my other PRs) meant to make PDAs in general feel more consistent and not
take away from one of the experiences we want to encourage: interaction
between players.
1. Replaced all checks of a 'pda' with a 'modular pc'. This means
technically (though not done in-game currently) other modpcs can hold an
uplink, and microwaves can charge laptops.
2. Speaking of microwave, they now don't break and require
deconstruction if the cell is removed mid-charge.
3. When a Mod PC is out of power, it will now allow the Messenger to
work (which now also doesn't consume any additional power), if the app
exists on the PC. Here's a video demonstration
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/53777086/7ae12f81-a271-49b8-95fa-2ba54d2e2d1f
4. Flashlights can't be turned on while the cell is dead
5. I replaced a bunch of program vars with ``program_flags`` and renamed
``usage_flags`` to ``can_run_on_flags``.
6. Added a debug modPC that has every app installed by default. Mafia
had some issues in the past that were unknown because Mafia wasn't
preinstalled with any tablet so was never in create & destroy nor in any
other unit test. This was just an easy solution I had, but PDAs should
get more in-depth unit tests in the future for running apps n stuff- I
just wanted to make sure no other apps were broken/harddeling.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently when a PDA dies, its only use is to reply to PDA messages sent
to you, since you can still reply to them. Instead of just fixing it and
telling players to cope, I thought it would be nice to allow PDA
Messenger to still work, as it is a vital app.
You can call it some emergency power mode or whatever, I don't really
mind the reason behind why it is this way.
When I made cells used more on PDAs, my main goal was to encourage
upgrading your PDA and/or limiting how many apps you use at once, I did
not want this to hit on players who use it as a form of interaction.
This is the best of both worlds, I think.
The rest of the changes is just for modularity, if some downstream wants
to add tablets, phone computers, or whatever the hell else, they can
still get just as far as PDAs should be able to get to, hopefully.
## Changelog
🆑
add: PDAs with a dead power cell are now limited to using their
Messenger app.
fix: Microwaves now stop charging PDAs if the cell was removed
mid-charge.
fix: Microwaves can now charge laptops.
fix: PDA Flashlights can't be turned on while the PDA is dead.
fix: You can now hold a laptop up to a camera (if it has a notekeeper
app installed) like PDAs already could.

## About The Pull Request
I've stumbled across this enough to finally go through the entire
codebase and fix it. I left out changelogs simply because rewriting
history logs is bad.

## About The Pull Request
Closes#79969
In administration, things shouldn't be _required_ to have unique names.
I think that searching by ckey/key in logs should still work fine but I
can see the value in having the mob tag (which is also exposed in places
like `debug.log`, and in public spots too like `hallucinations.html`)
being added with all this data for even more trimming if you wanna find
all the rule-breaking stuff someone does as a very specific mob.
Anyways, the player details datum tracks both the name as well as the
mob tag in an associated list that we can access in order to do work
with it in stuff like the player panel.
We do this by the following
* Rework the player details list to be associated, as well as updating
all instances of the proc that sets this list.
* Make the code for handling duplicates a bit more explicit so it
actually works.
* Make the formatting in the player panel better as well.
* Also add the mob tag information to wherever we might need to log it
via a new proc `key_name_and_tag()`
* Also adds this information to the per-player player panel
## Why It's Good For The Game
Better administration tools, should be more helpful when it comes to
filtering as well as post-mortem cross-comparison for coders in order to
find out exactly _which_ mob was problematic when looking at debug.log
or whatever you may have.

## About The Pull Request
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
- As the size of the announcement proc has grown over the past few PRs,
did a pass over them for readability and consistency
- Include the arg names for coders unfamiliar with the new announcement

- Replaced leftover hardcoded Central Command text with the command name
proc, so all announcements reflect the command name if changed by an
admin
- Replaced hard coded emergency shuttle timer text with the actual
timeleft vars, so it's correct if the timers are changed for any reason
- Darkens the dark mode blue/red headers to be more red less pink, while
staying in accessibility standards
- Adds a lower profile grey colour for automated non-Central Command
announcements

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#68825Fixes#72249Fixes#70184
Converts maintenance drones to use the basic mob framework. As drones
don't use AI, this was mostly a perfunctory conversion, but I took the
opportunity to clean up drone code a bit and fixed a few bugs.
Noteworthy changes:
- Drones now have a `can_unhack` field. This is set to FALSE on
syndrones, because unhacking them doesn't make them stop being evil but
does cause some weirdness. Syndrones are unused right now, but you never
know.
- Drones use the Dextrous component for hand-having.
- Drones no longer have an internal ID card, instead being given
all-access with the `simple_access` component.
- Picking up drones now works the same as for other mobs, instead of
pointlessly copying the code into `attack_hand`. As a consequence, it is
now possible to punch drones if you want to for some reason.
- Drones can now reboot/cannibalize dead drones without being in combat
mode.
- Cannibalizing a drone that contains a client no longer runtimes - the
client is ghosted ahead of time.
- Drones now have TRAIT_ADVANCEDTOOLUSER, allowing them to properly
interact with machines.
- Trying to screwdriver a dead drone now gives a balloon alert about why
you can't do that.
In addition to these changes, I cleaned up the code quite a bit,
organizing things better and placing more useful comments throughout.
And removing a hell of a lot of single-letter variable names.
I will note that this PR does _not_ address #72129. The issue there is
that sprites for drones-as-hats are entirely nonexistent, and I'm not a
spriter. It shouldn't be too hard to fix if someone makes dronehat
sprites, though!
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills 8 more simple animals.
In addition to that, drones were clearly a bit neglected, so this fixes
them up a bit and makes the code a little bit clearer. Maybe not that
much clearer, but it's something. It certainly leaves them in a better
place for further work if anyone wants to do that. Plus, a bunch of bugs
and other jankiness are fixed now, which is nice.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Maintenance Drones now use the basic mob framework. This
shouldn't come with any noticeable gameplay changes, but please report
any bugs.
fix: Drones can now interact normally with electrified doors.
fix: Drones' built-in tools can no longer be placed in storage objects
and/or thrown on the floor.
fix: Drones can now perform right-click interactions correctly, such as
deconstructing reinforced windows.
fix: Drones can now reboot or cannibalize other drones without being in
combat mode.

## About The Pull Request
See title.
If someone was abusing signalers previously to cause server lag, going
into list signalers would actually cause even worse lag as byond sat
there and processed thousands of items into a string over and over,
which would cause string format operations on longer and longer strings,
resulting in more and more overhead. This is bad.
So instead there is now a limit to the size of the list, currently I
have that set to 500 although I am open to increasing and even reducing
the number.
I have also made signalers slightly more intuitive by having the
cooldown actually displayed in the ui as a tooltip instead of just being
a secret feature you didnt know about unless you code dived. Also made
the cooldown actually respected by things such as circuitry where it
didnt even implement the cooldown and would happily send as many signals
as you had items connected to your proximity circuit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Admins won't accidentally kill the server by trying to parse a lag
machines signal list. Players lagging the server? No, how about the
admins trying to fix it!

## About The Pull Request
`SS13.get_runner_client()` and `SS13.get_runner_ckey` will return the
client and the ckey respectively of the user who ran the lua script. Can
be unreliable after the first sleep or yield.
The SS13 module can now be made local as the tables that need to be
accessed globally have been moved to their own global variables.
Added `SS13.start_loop(time, amount, func)`, `SS13.end_loop(id)`,
`SS13.stop_all_loops()` that allow lua scripts to more easily make
loops. Removed the `timer` parameter from these functions, which
specified the timer subsystem to use.
Documentation on all new added functions have been added in the
lua/README.md
## Why It's Good For The Game
Getting the client who ran the script and the ckey that ran the script
is useful for self contained scripts that are looking for an entrypoint
(e.g. location to spawn some item/mob/structure). `dm.usr` is a special
variable used for other purposes and can be unreliable when used this
way even if there haven't been any sleeps or yields yet, so having a
dedicated variable and function to handle it makes things easier.
Being able to make the SS13 module local allows for more self-contained
scripts. Although this isn't super helpful because `require` will still
load the same object for all lua scripts loaded on the same state.
Basic looping helpers allow for lua scripts to more easily create loops
without needing to recursively do a `set_timeout` or to do a
`while(true) do SS13.wait(1) end` loop.
## Changelog
🆑
admin: Added SS13.get_runner_ckey() and SS13.get_runner_client() which
stores the ckey and returns the client of the user who ran the lua
script. Can be unreliable if accessed after sleeping.
admin: Added timer loop helpers to the SS13.lua module, check the docs
admin: The SS13.lua module can now be made local without causing any
errors.

## About The Pull Request
This takes all the gib related procs:
- `gib()`
- `spawn_gibs()`
- `spill_organs()`
- `spread_bodyparts()`
And adds heavy documentation that communicates what the procs are used
for and how the different bitflags affect them. The difference is
noticeable:
`gib(TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, null)` vs `gib(DROP_ORGANS|DROP_BODYPARTS)`
The code is now much more legible which is important considering it's
used in a lot of places!
Another robust change, is that we had several places in the code where
there were double negatives like so:
```
/mob/living/carbon/spill_organs(no_brain, no_organs, no_bodyparts)
if(!no_bodyparts) // DOUBLE NEGATIVES ARE BAD M'KAY?!?
// do stuff here
```
This is a mindfuck to untangle. I inverted a lot of these parts so we
don't lose our sanity.
Last thing that was changed was a big `if()` loop in the `spill_organ()`
proc. This was refactored to just be a simple `for` loop with `continue`
statements where we needed to skip enabled bitflags. It's now shorter
and cleaner than before.
The only slight gameplay change this affects is that gibbing a mob now
guarantees to drop all items unless the `DROP_ITEMS` bitflag is
deliberately omitted. Some places like admin gib self, we don't want
this to happen.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Gib code is very old. (~15 years) People kept adding more arguments to
the procs when it should have been a bitflag initially. By doing it this
way, there is more flexibility and readability when it comes to adding
new code in the future.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Refactor gib code to be more robust.
qol: Gibbing a mob will result in all items being dropped instead of
getting deleted. There are a few exceptions (like admin gib self) where
this will not take place.

You add spells to mobs via a dropdown in VV but mob abilities via
marking the mob and pressing a button in the admin status panel.
I like opening the VV menu more than I like marking mobs (I am usually
going to need to open it anyway) so I added an alternate route in the VV
dropdown.
## Why It's Good For The Game
It's better for my personal workflow.
## Changelog
🆑
admin: Mob abilities can be granted to arbitrary mobs via the VV menu in
a similar way to spells.

## About The Pull Request
Adds an option to the respawn config which forces you to pick another
character (slot) before you respawn.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Just an idea i'm throwing out there, not necessarily pushing for it to
be enabled on any servers.
Respawning as an alternative character can be a good way to make people
less frustrated at dying, particularly if paired with the cooldown
config that already exists:
"Oh shucks, I died and got my head cut off and got absorbed and got
spaced by some changeling. I won't be able to finish my project or
whatever. At least in 15 minutes I may be able to join as my botanist
character to try something else rather than having to wait an hour and a
half for the round to tick over."
Also nice for downstream support.
(Obviously you can just, *ban* people who respawn as the same character,
use an honor system, but codifying it seems better than not.)
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
config: Adds a config option for player respawning that enables
respawns, but forces you pick a new character.
config: "NORESPAWN" has been replaced with "ALLOW_RESPAWN 0". Unlimited
respawns is "ALLOW_RESPAWN 1" and character limited respawns is
"ALLOW_RESPAWN 2".

## About The Pull Request
As the title says, you can no longer become an antagonist if you can't
qualify for a role beforehand. How this works is that it runs job
assignment before antagonist roles are handed out to see which players
can qualify for a job role. It then undoes job assignments and then runs
antagonist assignment.
This is to prevent players from setting a highly contested role to low
priority so that they have a 0% chance of ever getting it, whilst still
being eligible for every antag role.
It's not completely foolproof as it's not really possible to account for
the fact that some players may become antagonists, thereby freeing up
some job slots. Since it's an approximation, it means that players who
put themselves at a high chance of returning back to lobby due to their
preference choices have an overall lower chance of becoming an
antagonist as they can be excluded from the antagonist roll due to the
random nature of job selection.
If players want to prevent this from happening, simply set a lot of jobs
to low/medium priority or adjust the "Return back to lobby" preference
to any other preference.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Prevents players from rolling antag without ever intending to play the
game as a non-antagonist.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Fixed players being able to roll antagonist without ever being
eligible to play any role. Players who have their preferences set up so
that they're likely to return to lobby when the round starts have a
lowered chance of becoming antagonist.

## About The Pull Request
- Fixed that if you chose to press a cross while toggling instagib mode
it will react as `Yes` instead of just canceling
- Added description for assault class (with shotgun and rocket gloves)
so you know that you have faster moving speed and lover armor.
- Fixed that when you already chose a team and try to click on other
teams spawners you'll be asked to consider other teams to make them
equal.
- Decreased time of recharge start delay from 20 seconds to 12, because
when it takes soo much to regen your shield its just faster to die and
respawn with a new one.
- Added 1.7 scope to marksmans rifle.
- Little cleanup.
**Everything is arguable.**
**Ask if something is unclear or confusing.**

## About The Pull Request
Look at this menu:
Isn't this basically useless?
When you try to add a mob ability to a mob, it displays a huge list of
typepaths.
Literally none of the typepaths are short enough that they even fit in
the window, and the data about what the ability actually is usually lies
at the end of the typepath.
This is clearly silly.
I made it look like this instead:
Now you see the name _and_ the typepath (it's still useful information
in cases where there are several similar abilities).
Also I gave the lobster charge ability its own name because it didn't
have one.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Increases usability of this admin feature.

with the ability's name, so you can much more quickly see what the

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a bunch of sanity checking to the `prefs.chat_toggles` var
accesses.
Prefs can be null when client is creating/deleting and this causes a
runtime where you might not be able to use emotes.
EDIT: as per suggestion I stopped masking the issue and added stack
traces instead. And made them into helper procs to avoid code
duplication.
For some of these procs it is important that we are able to continue
running to get to the end. **A ghost having null prefs should not stop
everyone else from hearing/seeing the emote.**
So now they will put the stack trace and keep on trucking if that issue
occurs. This is the main 'point' of the PR, which has seemingly gotten
bogged down in the creation of the two helper procs--apologies.
See https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/70404 for essentially
the same issue but applied to chat messages. I have gone back and
replaced the duplicated code from that to use the new helper procs
instead.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Anything chat related is a bad place to runtime. Some messages can take
a while to type out and to have it not display is frustrating at worst,
possibly detrimental if you have to communicate something urgently.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes some more lua harddel problems with lingering refs on the gc_guard
variable. This variable has been changed to a list instead and will get
cleared every time the SSlua subsystem fires so that lua instantiated
objects that are not tracked by the subsystem will essentially delete
themselves on the next tick, aka whenever the lua script sleeps.
Also removed the unnecessary and not completely functional
lua_reference_cleanup proc which wasn't even being called reliably
because the signal handler was the datum itself.

## About The Pull Request
I'm sick of the progress bar harddel, and I've ran into this problem in
the past, so I'm just gonna do something about it
If you want to provide an individual logged bit of info about a harddel,
you can override `/datum/proc/dump_harddel_info()` and return a string
containing "whatever"
Use of this should be limited, this could potentially clutter del logs,
especially if it's used on something that fails often, like pipes
I do think it's still useful tho. It's output ingame, in the logs, and
in unit test failures. Hopefully all nicely tho I'm only really 100%
sure about in game.
## About The Pull Request
- "Long shift" can now be earned from sub 10 minute rounds rather than
sub 5 minute rounds
- Admin restarts no longer give out "Long shift"
## Why It's Good For The Game
I do not think this achievement can *possibly* be earned right now. Like
at all.
Nuke Ops and cult are the only antags that can possibly do it and it's
incredibly infeasible (requiring that they nuke the station or summon
Nar'sie in just 3 minutes!)
So I bumped up the timer to 10 minutes. This means that ops can get it
if they nuke the station in 8 minutes, cult can get it if they REALLY
speedrun, and revs can get it if they beeline the heads.
I checked the DB for stats on this achievement and it's only been earned
in 3 rounds across the last year - `208780` (admin restart due to a bug)
`192892` (admin restart due to a bug?) `186192` (admin restart).
So I also prevented admin forcing the round to end. (I don't know if it
catches admin reboots directly I'll have to check that.)

## About The Pull Request
Hello friends, I've been on a bit of a lighting kick recently, and I
decided I clearly do not have enough things to work on as it is.
This pr adds angle support to static lights, and a concepting/debug tool
for playing with lights on a map.
Let's start from first principles yeah?
### Why Angled Lights?
Mappers, since they can't actually see a light's effect in editor, tend
to go off gut.
That gut is based more off what "makes sense" then how things actually
work
This means they'll overplace light sources, and also they tend to treat
lights, particularly light "bars" (the bigger ones) as directional.
So you'll have two lights on either sides of a pillar, lights inside a
room with lights outside pointing out, etc.
This has annoying side effects. A lot of our map is overlit, to the
point that knocking out a light does.... pretty much nothing.
I find this sad, and would like to work to prevent it. I think dark and
dim, while it does not suit the normal game, is amazing for vibes, and I
want it to be easier to see that.
Angled lights bring how lights work more in line with how mappers expect
lights work, and avoids bleedover into rooms that shouldn't be bled
into, working towards that goal of mine.
### How Angled Lights?
This is more complex then you'd first think so we'll go step by step
Oh before we start, some catchup from the last time I touched lighting
code.
Instead of doing a lighting falloff calculation for each lighting corner
(a block that represents the resolution of our lights) in view we
instead generate cached lightsheets. These precalculate and store all
possible falloffs for x and y distances from a source.
This is very useful for angle work, since it makes it almost totally
free.
Atoms get 2 new values. light_angle and light_dir
Light angle is the angle the light uses, and light_dir is a cardinal
direction it displays in
We take these values, and inside sheetbuilding do some optional angle
work. getting the center angle, the angle of a pair of coords, and then
the delta between them.
This is then multiplied against the standard falloff formula, and job
done.
We do need some extra fenangling to make this all work nicely tho.
We currently use a pixel turf var stored on the light source to do
distance calculations.
This is the turf we pretend the light source is on for visuals, most
often used to make wall lights work nice.
The trouble is it's not very granular, and doesn't always have the
effect you might want.
So, instead of generating and storing a pixel turf to do our distance
calculations against, we store x and y offset variables.
We use them to expand our working range and sheet size to ensure things
visually make sense, and then offset any positions by them.
I've added a way for sources to have opinions on their offsets too, and
am using them for wall lights.
This ensures the angle calculations don't make the wall behind a light
fulldark, which would be silly.
### Debug Tool?
In the interest of helping with that core problem, lights being complex
to display, I've added a prototyping tool to the game.
It's locked behind mapping verbs, and works about like this.
Once the verb is activated, it iterates over all the sources in the
world (except turfs because those are kinda silly), outlining and
"freezing" them, preventing any future changes.
Then, it adds 3 buttons to the owners of a light source.
The first button toggles the light on and off, as desired.
The third allows you to move the source around, with a little targeting
icon replacing your mouse
The second tho, that's more interesting.
The second button opens a debug menu for that light
There's a lot here, let's go through it.
Bit on the left is a list of templates, which allow you to sample
existing light types (No I have no idea why the background is fullwhite,
need to work on that pre merge)
You can choose one by clicking it, and hitting the upload button.
This replaces your existing lighting values with the template's,
alongside replacing its icon and icon state so it looks right.
There are three types as of now, mostly for categorization. Bar, which
are the larger typically stronger lights, Bulb, which are well, bulbs,
and Misc which could be expanded, but currently just contains floor
lights.
Alongside that you can manually edit the power, range, color and angle
of the focused light.
I also have support for changing the direction of the light source,
since anything that uses directional lighting would also tie light dir
to it.
This isn't *always* done tho, so I should maybe find a way to edit light
dir too.
My hope is this tool will allow for better concepting of a room's
lights, and easier changing of individual object's light values to suit
the right visuals.
### Lemon No Why What
Ok so I applied angle lights to bars and bulbs, which means I am
changing the lighting of pretty much every map in the codebase.
I'm gonna uh, go check my work.
Alongside this I intend to give lighting some depth. So if there's room
to make a space warmer, or highlight light colors from other sources, I
will do that.
(Images as examples)
I also want to work on that other goal of mine, making breaking lights
matter. So I'll be doing what I can to ensure you only need to break one
light to make a meaningful change in the scene.
This is semi complicated by one light source not ever actually reaching
fullbright on its own, but we do what we must because we can.
I'm as I hope you know biased towards darker spaces, I think contrast
has vibes.
In particular I do not think strong lights really suit maintenance.
Most of what is used there are bulbs, so I'm planning on replacing most
uses with low power bulbs, to keep light impacts to rooms, alongside
reducing the amount of lights placed in the main tunnels
**If you take issue with this methodology please do so NOW**, I don't
want to have to do another pass over things.
Oh also I'm saving station maps for last since ruins are less likely to
get touched in mapping march and all.
### Misc + Finishing Thoughts
Light templates support mirroring vars off typepaths using a subtype,
which means all the templates added here do not require updating if the
source type changes somehow. I'd like to expand the template list at
some point, perhaps in future.
I've opened this as a draft to make my intentions to make my changes to
lights known, and to serve as motivation for all the map changes I need
to do.
### Farish Future
I'm unhappy with how we currently configure lights. I would like a
system that more directly matches the idea of drawing falloff curves,
along with allowing for different falloffs for different colors,
alongside extending the idea to angle falloff.
This would make out of engine lighting easier, allow for nicer looking
lights (red to pink, blue to purple, etc), and improve accessibility by
artists.
This is slightly far off, because I have other obligations and it's
kinda complicated, but I'd like to mention it cause it's one of my many
pipedreams.

add: Added angle lighting, applies it to most wall lights!

## About The Pull Request
Removes all of the duplicate global lists for specific machine types
where the only thing they do is store all machines of that type.
Adds machine tracking to SSmachines in the form of a list for all
machines, and then an associative list for machines by their type.
Previously we have machines in multiple global lists, such as airlocks
being in GLOB.doors, GLOB.airlocks, GLOB.machines.
This makes that not a thing, and also means that iterating through
GLOB.machines looking for a specific type is no longer as expensive.
