Context: Mech users hold ALT to disable strafe, which would trigger the
lootpanel to come up while committing war crimes (annoying!)
This prevents the panel from appearing and fixes the previous behavior,
meaning you can alt click your own mech to disable strafing.

It also makes toggling strafe a balloon alert with sound. Parties for

## About The Pull Request
- Deletes `ATTACK_QDELETED`

<details><summary>More info for devs</summary>
Handy regex used for alt click s&r:
`AltClick\((.*).*\)(\n\t.*\.\.\(\))?`
`click_alt($1)` (yes I am aware this only copies the first arg. there
are no other args!)
### Obj reskins
No reason for obj reskin to check on every single alt click for every
object. It applies to only a few items.
- Moved to obj/item
- Made into signal
- Added screentips
### Ventcrawling
Every single atmospherics machine checked for ventcrawling capability on
alt click despite only 3 objects needing that functionality. This has
been moved down to those individual items.
</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
For players:
- Alt clicking should work more logically, not causing double actions
like eject disk and open item window
- Added context menus for reskinnable items
- Removed adjacency restriction on loot panel
For devs:
- Makes alt click interactions easier to work with, no more click chain
nonsense and redundant guard clauses.
- OOP hell reduced
- Pascal Case reduced
- Glorious snake case

This PR adds a health doll to the hud used by basic and simple mobs to
the dexterous basic mob HUD. I'd reckon the only reason it wasn't

This also apparently adds the damage borders around the screen as the
mob takes damage, which is a useful gauge for knowing when you're about
to die.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#76495
This PR prevents (most) screen elements from running base
`/atom/proc/Click` and `/mob/proc/ClickOn()` when clickend.
(The only exception I found to it was the cursor catcher for scopes.)
Why?
Most, if not everything in `ClickOn` is considered "in world"
interacting. It abides by `incapacitated`, runs `faceAtom`, etc.
This means, currently, you can "interact" with screen elements using in
world elements. For example, TK-ing / pointing a gun at your mood face.
Right now this affects very little, but there is a large potential for
errors. All you have to do is forget a sanity check in `afterattack` and
suddenly you have an item that can affect your screen objects.
The only example I found was the `/item/godstaff`, which can color some
of your screen elements. But there may be more. Like guns.
Note:
Many, many screen elements ALREADY do not fall down into atom click.
They simply don't call parent. Which is totally fine.
I am just ensuring ALL* screen elements do not fall down into atom
click.

## About The Pull Request
Actions that don't give the user control (so don't give them an action
button) will now no longer give them to ghosts either. Ghosts should see
the same information as the player when observing them. They don't need
to see guardian's protection mode and bileworm's spitting, for example.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Explained in the about the pull request already, ghosts should have the
same information as the player they are orbiting, not see the hidden
actions. It makes it annoying for contributors to have to manually set
every ability meant to not be seen by players to also not be seen by
ghosts.

Also upgraded SSpolling; you can now place a little icon on the sides in

jump target don't have to be the same anymore, and I made it be able to
pre-pick candidates since 90% of the use cases would just want 1

## About The Pull Request
I was thinking to contribute something to the new away mission map to
make it better. Mapping and all takes too much time for me, so I could
do little. Though it comes with its own unique gimmicks.
To reach the cafeteria, one has to complete a couple puzzles.
The first set is opened by inputing the correct PIN on the password
panel beside it. There're several clues to help you guess this fairly
easy puzzle, in the form of several number graffitis, a scrapped piece
of paper full of numbers, and a board filled with colored dots also
found just beside the panel.
The second one is opened by a keycard, and is generally lazier. To find
it, you'll need to do a bit of (toilet) searching.
As for the unique things this PR adds:
- A fire extinguisher... that actually contains welding fuel
- A (dirt-cheap) hotdog vending machine*
- A completely ornamental maneki-neko (that's the name of the
luck-bringing, paw-waving cat figurine)
- A piggy bank that carries money between rounds. It has a cap of 10k
credits worth of holochips, cash and coins, which is pretty high, but
I'm confident people will just destroy it for its contents the moment
they find it. His name is Pigston Swinelord VI.
- More, totally legit and not actually fake bombable walls :^)
*By the by, you can also find it during the national hotdog day.

## Why It's Good For The Game
You know how most away missions are not that special at all? Yeah,
@mc-oofert set an example of a pretty decent one actually, if not a tad
small. I thought it could use a touch of another mind actually
contributing to it too, because it deserves it.
Also, this sets the basis for other persistent piggy banks. I don't
think they should all have that 10k cap like this one, perhaps 1k is
enough. Beside, the code that mothblocks did for json database datum is
pretty good, so there is not a whole lot of shitcode here.

## About The Pull Request
Changes the easing and slows down status alert animations.

## Why It's Good For The Game
I was playing Project Zomboid a while back, a game which has a similar
alert system that we have (in that they stack up on the right side of
the screen), and I wondered "why don't our screen alerts animate, why do
they just pop up?"
And the answer to that is they do animate. But their animation is...
0.25 seconds long. Which is at worst, not noticeable, and at best,
glitchy looking.
So I just... changed the easing and slowed it down a bit.
Now, when an alert enters the screen, it does a little bounce.
I believe this will make screen alerts a bit less unpleasant to look at
and a bit more noticeable for newer players. This also has a neat effect
(as demonstrated in the video) of making "updating" alerts stand out a
bit more. Before when something like "wounded" would update, it would
just appear to be glitching out of the right side of the screen. Now it
wiggles to show you it's updated.
And of course, this can be played with in the future. If we wanted to go
full Zomboid style we can scale the power of the bounce down for less
important alerts / scale it up for more pertinent alerts. Or bounce
things which are actively a hazard like pressure or fire or temperature.
Also, we can give alerts a bit more of a static order. In the demo video
it swaps around which is kinda ugly, but we can fix that.

## About The Pull Request
### Riot Armor and Helmets (including SWAT armor and plate armor;
partially includes Syndicate modsuits and other suits with a module)
TRAIT_SHOVE_KNOCKDOWN_BLOCKED is now called
TRAIT_BRAWLING_KNOCKDOWN_BLOCKED. This is possessed by riot suits, SWAT
suits and now **plate armor**. Not the chaplain variety, because fuck
them I guess. (this was apparently deliberate so don't complain to me,
okay?)
Anyone with this trait is now unable to be knocked down by;
- Pure RNG on blunt objects attacks to the chest (Probability is
otherwise altered by melee armor already)
- Unarmed punches, both RNG and deterministic
- Bodies thrown at them. Instead, dealing stamina damage and causing
them to become staggered.
A new trait called TRAIT_HEAD_INJURY_BLOCKED, which protects from
various head injury related effects. This is possessed by riot helmets,
SWAT helmets, plate helmets, hardhats and applied to MODsuits with armor
boosters activated/the infiltrator suit while active.
The trait is also granted to anyone wearing a modsuit with the Head
Protection module installed. This can be printed from round start, and
comes pre-installed into all the engineering modsuits, security moduits,
research modsuit and magnate modsuit. (I had to bump up the security
modsuit complexity a bit to put it in iunno if we have a policy about
that)
Anyone with this trait is protected against:
- Bottle smashes to the head.
- RNG Blunt force trauma to the head by blunt objects (Probability is
otherwise altered by melee armor already)
- Partially protects against getting your spine snapped during a bad
tackle (this used to be a check ONLY for the riot helmet or hardhat)
### Bottle Smash
The bottle smash's chance of a knockdown is based on the force and
knockdown duration of the bottle, altered by relevant head melee armor.
It's no longer basically guaranteed due to weird math that would
determine whether or not you were knocked down only if your armor
exceeded certain values or not.
### Misc Changes
Any instance that would check either for riot armor or riot helmets
instead checks for the new traits.
## Why It's Good For The Game
People weren't particularly happy with the possibility of getting
ownzoned by a naked assistant or random toolbox-wielding tider while in
dedicated melee protection armor as a result of pure RNG jank. [There
was a whole thread here about
it](https://tgstation13.org/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=83&t=35645) with
regards to unarmed combat.
If you're in riot gear, you should feel like you can confidently combat
improvised/blunt weapons at a cost of general protection from the more
serious dangers to your wellbeing (AKA lead poisoning or heatstroke. Get
it....it's bullets and lasers...)
For some reason, bottle smash knockdowns, despite using the values
just...conveniently don't get blocked by armor except for extreme
values? If at all? I felt like this was really weird for something with
such a hefty and fairly powerful knockdown effect, particularly one you
can lob at someones head at range. I remember, way back when I first
started playing, that this was a feature that used to stun, and one I
used a lot to get cheap kills. The amount of bullshit stuns I got on
people with it still haunt me to this day. It hasn't improved in the
current era, despite being a knockdown, simply because any knockdown
still takes several seconds to exit. An arbitrarily low knockdown is
still a several second one. It's time to bring this in line with similar
equipment.
Rather than using flat values that are _clearly_ meant to be only
applicable to riot armor the decade ago that the code was written, let's
use traits instead. That's way better than relying on magic numbers that
may become irrelevant when the code around it changes, which anyone
touching that code may not even be aware existed.
Since we're using a trait, we can actually allow modsuits to
occasionally fill defensive niches that aren't strictly armor values.
Handy.

well as the ones applied through the staggered status), shoves, critical
hits with a blunt weapon to the chest, and body throws.

## About The Pull Request
Ok so tracking (from the datum) worked, but when used to follow someone
it had a noticable delay from the datum needing to wait for process to
fire to do its work
This would be an expensive proc to run constantly, but we don't really
have to (there are not that many ai eyes in the world). So rather then
only processing to keep step, let's track the target mob by its
movement, and then fall back on a process loop to handle rechecking in
case of camera memes.
This does technically mean you won't "break" the track if the cameras go
out until the tracked mob moves, but I think that's a reasonable price
to pay for more responsive movement. I think I could make our current
system work with it too, though it would be a bit more wasteful. John if
you have opinions just lay into me.
I've also renamed/pulled apart the helper procs for the trackable datum,
with the hope of making how they are used more understandable at a
glance
Oh and rather then holding a weakref since I needed MOVED anyway I just
use QDELETING to free the ref if the mob goes away
### Edit:
#### Glide size touchups
Implements glide size mirroring so we move at the same speed as our
target
Also moves the existing signal to send to the trackable datum itself, as
appears intended from the doc comment
#### AI behavior changes
Rewrites ai movement to be less dumb
OK so 2 things here. One is a behavior change, the other is a visual QOL
thing.
The way ai movement works is we move graduated "steps". Either moving 1,
2, or 3 steps per tick.
We do this by, so long as input is held down, incrementing a number
called "sprint"
Currently it'll go from 10 to 50 (formula effectively looks like steps =
(sprint / 20) + 1))
Anyway, this is... not fine but ok, but the way we handle deceleration
is ass IMO. It's literally just wait 0.5 seconds and sprint resets.
I think this feels crummy, so instead I've made it decay depending on
how long you go between inputs, at 7x greater rate then it increases.
That's the behavior change. Visual change is a lot easier.
Ais were not gliding properly. They assumed they had 4 ticks to move a
tile, rather then 1. This meant they'd jump around constantly, to catch
up to where we expect them to be.
I've fixed this by giving them 1 tick instead. Should feel a lot better
## Why It's Good For The Game
Snappier response times, cleaner code
## Changelog
🆑
add: AI's acceleration now smoothly decays, instead of just falling back
down to 0 after 0.5 seconds

This PR adds the combat mode toggle to the HUD of simple and basic mobs

like this:

## Why It's Good For The Game
Simple and basic mobs can currently toggle combat mode by using the
keybind for it, however, they can't see whether or not they have it on
currently because the button for it is not on their HUD. Some basic
mobs, like regal rats, have different interactions when clicking on
objects depending on whether or not they have combat mode on, so this is
sort of important information to display to the player.

Turns out the cause of cameras breaking was something weird with how
Byond determined the CENTER location for screen_locs on secondary popup
maps like cameras and the spyglass. This can be remedied by manually
using the LEFT,TOP position for the plane relays. However LEFT,TOP
breaks the views for clients 1614 and below so I included a jank

displayed correctly

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#80566
Fixes the wrong arguments being passed to
`COMSIG_LIVING_EARLY_UNARMED_ATTACK`.
It now properly receives the proximity flag.
Changes clicking with handcuffs to no longer always assume no proximity.
Replaces some checks for hands blocked to some checks for
`can_unarmed_attack` (which, currently, JUST checks for hands blocked,
but this is good for future reasons, just in case)
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: Strong arm implant users can shove more correctly.

## About The Pull Request
- **Removed attack_slime**. Most of the attack_slime content has been
moved to a proc that signs up for COMSIG_LIVING_UNARMED_ATTACK. Its
ugly, but will make converting slimes to a basic mob easier. They now
use attack_animal for now, which might cause some unexpected
interactions. Hopefully when they are converted to basic mobs, these can
be cleared up properly.
- This caused some issues with cyborgs, who used to get only half damage
dealt to them. As refactoring this would have been too much of a
difficult task without much real gain, after much pondering, I have
decided that since slimes can always flash cyborgs with each of their
strikes, maybe cyborgs should only fear slimes that have electric
charges in them. In addition, slimes electric charges decrease now after
they successfully zap an cyborg, making them more consistent with the
zaps that affect carbons. AIs are still fully immune to slimes.
- The slime.dm and slime.life files were extremely bloated, and
unorganized. I have created two new files, defense.dm and ai.dm. I have
moved the various attack_by/attack_hand/etc procs to defense.dm. Ai.dm
now contains every single proc the slime's "AI" uses; this should help
getting a clearer picture of the current functionality, which should aid
with basic mob conversion and decision tree creation. The remaining
files have been slightly organized, with overrides in front, and new
procs at the back.
- Created a proc for swapping out Adult and Baby states of a slime.
Previously, attack_slime was in many cases ignoring fields like
melee_damage_lower and melee_damage_upper, replacing it with magic
numbers based on the slime's lifestate. Now these values are hard set by
these procs. This has caused slimes to be more consistent, though baby
slimes might do a bit less damage on the low end. I am tempted to turn
these in datums in the future, or as part of this PR.
- Removed baby slime's chance to accidentally attack a window/grille by
bumping into it, they had 0 object damage anyways, unlike adult slimes,
so there was no reason not to early return.
- The proc of `handle_feeding` assumed adjustBruteLoss and adjustToxLoss
return positive values when damage has been done, when in reality, it
returns the total health change along with its direction. This meant
slimes would fell off simple or basic mobs after a single bite. This has
been fixed.
- Also updated the warning before the slime type defines, as they were
out of date.
- I have removed the bespoke spacewalk override for slimes, which should
allow them to drift, should gravity go out.
- The nutrition stats are assigned only once, when the slime grows up,
instead of compared to being an adult every life tick
## Why It's Good For The Game
Less duplicated code.
This refactor should help in the basic mob conversion process.
Cyborgs have an easier time wrangling slimes, who could previously kill
them in three hits, if charged. They are mostly encased in metal, they
should feel fine when not hit with electric attacks.
Lets slimes feast on delicious corgis.
## About The Pull Request
Got the idea from #80682. A lot of parent procs don't do anything, some
are just formatted in a bad way, and others early return and do no ops,
it's bad in general but this should give us a head start.
Some good overhead saved here
## About The Pull Request
This pull request adds a new path.
The cross path is between ash and lock.
Credit to Fury McFlurry for the following sprites:
ring_leader_effect
The path goes as follows:
Moonlight Troupe
Grasp of Lunacy
Smile of the moon
> Sidepaths:
Mind Gate
Ashen Eyes
Mark of Moon
Ritual of Knowledge
Lunar Parade
Moonlight Amulette
> Sidepaths:
Curse of Paralasys
Unfathomable Curio
Unsealed Arts
Moonlight blade
Ringleaders Rise
> Sidepaths:
Ashen Ritual
Last Act
Moonlight Troupe:
The first knowledge of path of moon, lets you make Lunar Blades with 2
iron and a knife
Grasp of Lunacy:
The grasp of this path hides your name for 15 seconds after use, but
more importantly it causes the person hit with the grasp
to hallucinate everyone as indistinct human like figures.
Smile of the Moon:
A pointed spell that causes temporary blinding, muting, deafening and
confusing on the person its targeted at, these effects
last longer the less sanity your victim has.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/db7cfaaa-8fe2-4f20-aa78-c17c17be4d63
Mindgate:
Lock-Moon. This spell causes you and your victim brain damage, the
victim also suffers a short amount of hallucinations
and also 20 oxyloss.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/11d15acd-11d0-4e7d-a180-6481b18e9fd9
Mark of Moon:
When applied this paths mark pacifies the victim and they remain
pacifist until attacked or until the mark is detonated, when
detonated the victim is left confused.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/41e601b5-76d4-4765-8b49-ada7de09feb7
Lunar Parade:
A spell that sends out a projectile that causes people hit by it to
follow the projectile whilst being unable to move. The
projectile also bounces around and is really useful to get people off
your back during chases.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/cddc8390-e8aa-4d68-b1a5-ab181e941a9b
Unfathomable Curio:
Transmute 3 rods, a brain and a belt into an Unfathomable Curio a belt
that can hold blades and items for rituals. Whilst worn
will also veil the heretic, allowing them to take 1 hit without
suffering damage, this veil will recharge quickly outside of
combat. If examined the examiner suffers brain damage and temporary
brain damage, and if a non-heretic uses it once the shield is damaged
the non-heretic user suffers massive brain damage and a permanent
uncurbable brain trauma. Lock-moon
Unsealed Arts:
Allows you to transmute a canvas and an additional item to create a
piece of art, these paintings have different effects depending on the
additional item added. Lock-moon
Possible paintings:
The sister and He Who Wept:
Additional atoms: Eyes.
When a non-heretic looks at the painting they will begin to hallucinate
everyone as heretics.
The First Desire:
Additional atoms: Any bodypart.
Increases the hunger of non-heretics, when examined drops an organ or
body part at the painting.
Great chaparral over rolling hills:
Additional atoms: Any grown food.
Spreads kudzu when placed, when examined grants a flower to the heretic.
Lady out of gates:
Additional atoms: Gloves.
Causes non-heretics to scratch themselves until they remove their
jumpsuit, when examined removes all your mutations.
Climb over the rusted mountain:
Additional atoms: Trash.
Causes non-heretics to rust the floor they walk on and when examined
gives you a cool moodlet
These effects are mitigated for a few minutes when a non-heretic
suffering an effect examines the painting that caused the
effect. Except for great chapparal which spawns kudzu at their feet, and
Lady out of gates which gives them a random negative mutation.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/1d1bdd2f-cda5-4430-b3af-4742f98a59a8https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/4e843ae4-9786-4e9b-8681-582713f4c789
Moonlight Amulette:
Allows the heretic to transmute 2 sheets of glass, a pair of eyes, a
brain and a tie. If the amulette is used on someone with low
sanity they go berserk attacking everyone if their sanity isnt low
enough it decreases their mood. Optionally you can add a
poppy in the ritual to further decrease their mood on hit.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/ab820b3f-e7e6-407a-9a1a-93d49c0d7387
Moonlight Blade:
Causes the heretics blades to do brain and sanity damage whilst causing
hallucinations. The blades also cause giggling and
laughter on hit.
Ringleaders Rise:
An AoE spell that deals more brain damage the lower the sanity of the
victim, also causes hallucinations that last longer the
lower the sanity of the victim. If the victims sanity is low enoughit
causes them to go insane, the spell then halves their sanity.
This spell is on a longer cooldown and is more meant to be used as a
payoff or an instigator for a fight. The AoE area is 7 tiles
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/4de85ba2-448a-485c-b739-77fcce86c0cb
Last Act:
The ascension lowers the cooldown of all the heretics spells by 33% and
increases the AoE range of Ringleaders Rise. The main
effect of this ascension is a passive sanity drain and hallucination
aura, if you have low sanity in the aura you will start to suffer
brain damage and if you reach the bottom you gain an aura of
hallucinations thus spreading the moon heretics influence
further. Not only that but roughly 1/5th of the crew will rise in
support of you becoming mini-heretics called acolytes that will attempt
to obey your commands!
I had videos showing off everything but they were too big for github
sadly so I will have to think of some other way to showcase all this
stuff.
This pr also adds a new optional atoms system which means that you can
have rituals that can be improved by adding additional atoms, like for
example moonlight amulette.
Feel free to give some suggestions for further ascension effects.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I feel like heretic is really missing a playstyle around insanity and
this slots neatly in to feel that gap. For being an eldritch antag of
horrors there is surprisingly little interaction with the sanity system
and I feel like this makes up for it, heretic is also missing some
distractions which is where the paintings can really shine and the
hallucinations which breed paranoia.
## Changelog
🆑
add: A new heretic path opens up! Gaze up at the great sky for the path
of the moon opens and the lie shall be slain in pursuit of ultimate
truth!
fix: Fixes the syndicate delusion not working

## 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.
~Hopefully the candidates number and signed up overlay should show up
for everyone now and be more responsive~
Ghommie tackled most of it in
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/80610
I think the candidate number overlay updating is done incorrectly in his
PR though.
Candidate number overlay should be updated for ALL candidates' poll
alert buttons, whenever ANY candidate enters/leaves the poll
## 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
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
Whoops. We were basically skipping the master plate of our z level to
draw directly onto the one above, so anything not on the game plane (IE:
the hud) was getting totally ignored. MEMESSS
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes#80301
## 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)
[f02ad13](f02ad13696)
This is 100% donglesplonge's work, he's spent a week or so going back
and forth with me sharpening these to a mirror shine, real chill

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

## About The Pull Request
If the station rolls the "Cargo Gorilla" trait, a button will now be
visible on the lobby.
Clicking on this button before the round has started will add you to a
list of participants, one of whom will be selected to become a gorilla
when the round begins.
If nobody signs up (because they're really boring I guess) the job will
instead appear on the latejoin menu.
Once someone has become the gorilla the button will disappear.

While implementing this I noticed that an inverted check means we were
never populating the "GLOB.cargo_sloth" field which means the station
trait wasn't even working.
BEHIND THE SCENES
This also adds a generic "job station trait" which can be expanded in
the future.
Future developers can extend this to add other "rare jobs" with relative
ease.
By default I have made it so all subtypes of this trait are mutually
exclusive, only one can roll at a time.
This also means that I have converted "cargo gorilla" into a job, which
applies most of the code previously located in the mob's typepath or in
the station trait.
The fact that it is a job means that **admins** can enable any number of
gorillas to be present on the latejoin menu (but not the roundstart one,
as it is not possible to add Cargo Gorilla to your occupation
preferences) if they so desire.
The random beurocratic station trait, event, and traitor item (and the
job console) are not able to add gorilla slots.
Because I changed "Cargo Gorilla" to a job it now no longer exists on
the map until a player gains the role, and there wasn't a non-hacky way
to copy the name of this round's cargo sloth. Instead I just added a
small cargo gorilla name list.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes the presence of a fun trait more visible to players.
Means that people who aren't observing get a chance to be a monkey.
This is a framework several other people have wanted to exist for their
own features.
## Changelog
🆑 Jacquerel and Fikou
qol: If the station rolls the "Cargo Gorilla" station trait. you will be
able to sign up for the role from the game lobby.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#80223 . See issue for information about the bug.
This PR fixes it by placing wound tending before parent call but after
surgery.
It also fixes it by rewriting a little bit of medical stack item code to
only block interaction chain when actually healing someone - This is not
necessary with the above fix, but it futureproofs things.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
fix: When using an item on a mob, you will always attempt to fix wounds
AFTER surgery, BUT BEFORE the item's own interactions. As an example,
this means using a mesh on a mob will attempt to progress surgery first,
then attempt to fix any burn wounds, then heal burn damage.
/🆑
## 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.
