## About The Pull Request
This PR moves random name generation for species onto their languages.
What does this mean?
- For species with a predefined name list, such as Lizards and Moths,
nothing.
- For species without predefined name lists, such as Felinids, their
names will now be randomly generated from their language's syllables.


(In the prefs menu:)

Why?
- Well, we actually had some dead code that did this. All I did was fix
it up and re-enable it.
- Generates some pretty believable in-universe names for various
languages that are lacking name lists. Obviously defined lists would be
preferred, but until they are added, at least.
- Moves some stuff off of species, which is always nice.
- Also hopefully makes it a tad easier to work with name generation.
There's now a standard framework for getting a random name for a mob,
and for getting a random name based on a species.
Misc:
- Adds a generic `species_prototype` global, uses it in a lot of places
in prefs code.
- Makes `GLOB.species_list` init via the global defines
- Deletes Language SS
- Alphabetizes some instances of admin tooling using the list of all
species IDs
- Docs language stuff
- Deletes random_skin_tone, it does pretty much nothin
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Random Name Generation has been refactored. Report any
instances of people having weird (or "Unknown") names.
qol: Felinids, Slimepeople, Podpeople, and some other species without
defined namelists now automatically generate names based on their
primary language(s).
qol: More non-human names can be generated in codewords (and other misc.
areas) than just lizard names.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#82440
This PR just creates a new macro, `LOWER_TEXT()` (yes the irony is not
lost on me) to wrap around all calls of `lowertext()` and ensure that
whatever we input into that proc will be stringified using the `"[]"`
(or `tostring()` for the nerds) operator. very simple.
I also added a linter to enforce this (and prevent all forms of
regression) because I think that machines should do the menial work and
we shouldn't expect maintainers to remember this, let me know if you
disagree. if there is a time when it should be opted out for some
reason, the linter does respect it if you wrap your input with the
`UNLINT()` function.

## About The Pull Request
- Adds "Primal Instincts" brain trama.
- Special trauma
- Randomly, your body will be taken over by monkey AI.
- You will still be in control of the body, but you will have to fight
against the monkey ai for actions.
- There is a probability the monkey AI that takes control is aggressive,
meaning it will attack anyone nearby.
- While primal, you can understand monkey language.
- Adds "Kleptomania" brain trauma
- Severe trauma
- When you have empty hands, you will passively try to pick up things
near you.
- There is no feedback message associated, so you may not even notice
you did this.
- This effect is temporarily disabled if you have taken damage recently.
- Adds "Possessive" brain trauma
- Mild trauma
- Randomly, your held items will become undroppable for a short to
medium length of time.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I was looking through AI stuff recently and remembered we support
allowing AI controllers to work in cliented mobs, but we don't use it
anywhere (outside of adminbus)
So I wanted to add a brain trauma themed around that. Simple enough.
But I didn't want to PR just a single trauma, that's boring so I thought
of some additional ones. Just to spice up the other two trauma pools. I
especially wanted to add some traumas that interact with inventory and
items, because while a lot of our traumas involving how a person
interacts with the world, not many involve how a person interacts with
themself.
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
add: Adds 3 Traumas: Primal Instincts (special), Kleptomania (severe),
and Possessive (mild)

When I made SSpolling, jlsnow gave me his blessing to delete the orbit
polling component [where you orbit something for 20 seconds before it
chooses a ghost from the orbiters]
It's only used in a few places like soulstones replacing
jobbanned/inactive players, etc.
Also upgraded SSpolling; you can now place a little icon on the sides in
the chat message, chat message looks a lot nicer, the alert pic and the
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
candidate
Also prints to chat who the chosen one was
Also made slime intelligence potions ask the user for a reason, which
will be displayed in the alert poll
## About The Pull Request
Changes a lot of text. Apart from grammar fixes, here are the notable
changes:
- Ash jaunt description just said it is a "short range jaunt" without
explaining what exactly a jaunt is. I believe it is better to describe
without comparing to another spell the player may not have experience
with.
- Cosmic grasp now explains what the deal is with star marks and cosmic
fields. It is still possible to crosspath into a star mark spell,
skipping this description, but I assume a player like that is
experienced enough to know what the star mark does anyway...
- The knowledge for ash spirits no longer refers to them as "Ash Men" -
"Ash Spirit" is the mob's actual name. If you think "Ash Man" is a
better name, I can change it around so that the mob gets renamed that
instead.
- Removes the lines from paradoxical curio's description about causing
brain damage on examination - many heretic items cause adverse effects
to heathens who try to interact with them, and there is never a need to
clutter the description with them.
- Changes the eldritch coin description, because the old one was, in my
opinion, awkward. I changed it to be more inline with the other items'
descriptions, and to not tell non-heretics what its purpose is. If you
liked the old one better, I can revert this change.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Grammar good. Accurate descriptions good.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: made some heretic descriptions more accurate
spellcheck: improved english of the heretical eldritch patrons

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new Trait Job (jobs which only appear when the station gets a
trait for it) - Veteran Advisor.
The weight of the trait is 2 which makes it very rare.
Veteran Security Advisor is a role designated as a (duh) Advisor for the
HoS and Captain, as well as a mentor for all of the Officers. This is
because it has an experience requirement of **100 SECURITY HOURS**, so
no green Veterans.
Veteran Security Advisors are paraplegic (bonded to a wheelchair) and
with PTSD which freezes their mood and sometimes causes hallucinations.
They get an M1911 pistol in a holster because that's badass.

</details>
## Why It's Good For The Game
More funny Trait Jobs to the game!
There is a certain lack of those, there is only Cargorilla and Bridge
Assistant.
This job has big opportunities. Advisors can behave themselves like
drill sergeants, or wise old mentors. Because they are kinda, as people
only with 100 Security hours (yes those masochists exist) could play it
when it appears. This will also open opportunities for retired Sec mains
to tutor new generations without being directly involved in all of the
stress.
I mostly took a look at the Goonstation "Nanotrasen Security Consultant"
and Baystation "Senior Enlisted Advisor" as inspiration.
I tried to cut down any chances of this role being abused by power
gamers for its M1911 pistol and Bridge access, due to this they are
paraplegic so power gamers get disgusted, and if someone does somehow
win Antagonists while in a wheelchair - props to them, pure skill.
**REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A TRAIT JOB!** This means they won't appear
every round, but rather rarely! So they fit in as an occasional extra
fun for the round.
## Changelog
🆑
add: NEW TRAIT JOB: Veteran Security Advisor! Advise HoS and Captain on
Security matters, mentor Security Officers. Note that they are
paraplegic and fully emotional desensitized due to their past
experience.

## About The Pull Request
- Kicks Martial Arts out of the attack chain.
- All Martial Arts attacks are now handled via unarmed attack or grab
signals
- This means all martial arts are now technically on the living level,
allowing any mob that can unarmed attack to martial arts. Sort of. YMMV.
- All martial arts block checking is now handled by the arts themselves,
meaning you can selectively decide for a martial arts strike to not be
blocked. Maybe good for the future.
- A comprehensive cleanup of all existing martial arts. Improving var
names, code, adding some missing animation calls, etc.
Fixes#74829
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
Partial Revert of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/80800
Assuming every num passed in the parameters of `add_mood_effect` is a
`timeout_mod` is incorrect, because there can be mood events that take a
numeric arg which is not meant to be multiplied against the timeout.
This leads to the same issue as multiplying it with strings essentially
(in one case, shown below, this results in a negative duration of a
timer).


Plus having a keyword arg that may or may not actually be what the
keyword arg claims to be is really confusing and bad.
Instead here's what I propose: passing in an instantiated mood datum
itself, which has been modified, and copying the timeout from it before
discarding it.
It is not as clean as I'd prefer either, but at least it's logically
sound and the intent is clear, and it's the best I can think of short of
a major refactor of the entire system for this one small thing which is
only being used by food quality.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Clearer, less smelly code.
## Changelog
🆑
code: removed the timeout_mod arg from add_mood_event, which was only
used for one thing and causes more issues than it's worth
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
In a previous PR (https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/79661), I
noted that a lot of moodlets tended to have their timeouts break because
it was passing their names and whatnot as a parameter, that gets fed
into the timeout modifier parameter, causing the timeout multiplier to
break, because BYOND type-agnosticism means that it can multiply a
number (timeout_mod) by text (a name or some other object), resulting in
0 - which makes a moodlet permanent. This is probably not intended.
This fixes that in two ways:
- Adding a `1` to potentially applicable moodlets (searched for with a
regex of `.add_mood_event(.*, .*,)`) just to make sure the timeout
doesn't get multiplied out weirdly.
- Making the add_mood_event thing CRASH() if the timeout_mod is bad.
If someone else wants to come up with a solution better than this,
please do.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Maybe having your arm permanently fall asleep after getting it
reattached sucks, moodlet-wise. (Being stuck with permanent
positive/negative moodlets is probably not intended.)
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Moodlets with parameters/effects e.g. limb reattachment moodlets
should probably disappear more appropriately.

## 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!

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

## 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)

## About The Pull Request
This adjusts the "you have 50 seconds before sobering up!" warning for
the blackout-drunkard split personality.
Originally, this message would always send when 50 seconds are left,
meaning you'd get a "50 seconds left" warning every second, for the last
50 seconds.
Now, instead of that, you get a warning starting at the 60 second mark,
that updates you every 20 seconds.
So basically, you get a warning at 60, 40, and 20 seconds left instead
of every second for the last 50 seconds of drunkenness

## About The Pull Request
This was another boolean that was used to just manage stuff codeside
that really was not accessed _too_ much and is ultimately not useful as
a variable on `/mob`. This just moves it to a trait because it's only

## Why It's Good For The Game
Less stuff to deal with in the average view variables window whenever
looking at a mob, which is really nice and welcome.
## Changelog

Introducing new inverse reagents for existing superior healing
medications! This push includes...
**Benzoic Acid** : Inverse of Salicylic Acid. Robust fertilizer that
provides a decent range of benefits for plant life.
**Oxymetholone** : Inverse of Oxandrolone. Anabolic steroid that
promotes the growth of muscle during and after exercise.
**Bamethan** : Inverse of Salbutamol. Blood thinner that drastically
increases the chance of receiving bleeding wounds.
**Pendetide** : Inverse of Pentetic Acid. An unusual bioradioactive drug
that purges basic radiation healing chems. Also increases the severity
of radiation poisoning.
**Hyoscyamine** : Inverse of Atropine. Heals heart and stomach damage,
and slowly removes minor toxin damage.
**Ammoniated Sludge** : Inverse of Ammoniated Mercury. A ghastly looking
mess of mercury by-product which causes bursts of manic hysteria.
**Inreziniver** : Inverse of Rezadone. Makes the user horribly afraid of
all things related to carps.
This is an effort to add more variety to the existing inverse reagent
system within chemistry. Not only should this variety serve to provide
additional options for a Chemist to experiment with, they should also
broaden the possibilities for already existing strategies.
## About The Pull Request
I'm still not satisfied with how ghost notifications work. This gives
every notification with a source (99% of all notifications, in other
words) a link to jump/orbit. Currently, notifications with "play"
interactions would only get the interact link, so jumping to the source
was pretty annoying.
It removes posting the entire message in the alert tooltip, as some got
pretty lengthy and it didn't seem to fit. To replace this, they will
always use headers
After:



NOTIFY_JUMP and NOTIFY_ORBIT have been merged, since the only difference
seems to be whether it's a turf. The result shaves off some redundant
lines of code, since most-every usage of notify_ghosts uses
NOTIFY_ORBIT.
## Why It's Good For The Game
More standardization for the ghost notification system. Adds a few alert
headers that never had them. All in all, makes it easier for creators to
throw alerts at ghosts

It looks kinda cool.
Helps cement these as anomalous, wacky things that don't necessarily fit
in our plane of existence.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#79138.
Removes random gain from Alcohol-Induced CNS Impairment, making it only
obtainable by actually getting blackout drunk, rather than just bashing
your head in with a bat to see what happens.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The drunken blackout trauma has a specific flavor tied to the method of
gaining it, which is to say, getting drunk off your shits. It doesn't
make much sense for it to be gained from other sources of brain damage,
since those largely don't involve actually being drunk.
This should also fix a bug where the text "**_is blacking out!_**" will
randomly appear to observers without any name or anything, which appears
to happen when random human corpses have their brains decay enough to
randomly receive this trauma while dead. I think there's something to be
said for the idea that corpses should not be rolling traumas at all, but
that's something for another day.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: You will now only become blackout drunk if you've actually been
drinking.
fix: Observers should stop being notified that a nameless entity is
blacking out.

## About The Pull Request
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
at the time.
Allows for further flexibility when this proc inevitably gets tweaked or
improved. 12 -> 10 args is an improvement, and it doesn't impact the
helper's flexibility at all.
## Changelog
🆑 Rhials
code: The notify_ghosts proc has been cleaned up. Please report any
abnormal changes in deadchat notification behavior.
qol: The on-screen deadchat popups now contain the notification blurb
when hovered with your mouse again.

## About The Pull Request
The way we add multiple actions has been very unstandardized, with
several implementations of this code doing certain things wrongly (i.e.
not nullchecking `ai_controller`), so let's do something in the vein of
#74037 and just make one nice big ol' proc that catches a lot of these
cases. There are still a few things that simply can't be done here, but
this gets the most generic "give my mob some actions and also maybe tell
the AI about it" stuff done.
This is only useful in cases where we don't ever need to reference the
ability ever again when it's added. In an ideal world we would never
need to reference the ability again and it would all be self-contained,
but this is not an ideal world. However, a lot of the latticework has
been built around certain implementations of this behavior making
refactoring it just a bit easier.
I also did a lot of auditing on `Destroy()` stuff, because
`/datum/action`s listen to signals when their parent is `qdel`ing, so we
don't need to neither hold nor clear references on our mob's
`Destroy()`. This was all cleaned up now because even if we couldn't use
`grant_multiple_actions()` (the new proc I add in this PR), it's just
not useful at all and will further hinder efforts to implement this new
proc.
Also also, I noticed in some places (such as megafauna) that we were
initializing a lot of datum actions _in nullspace_. We didn't pass the
`src` argument to `New()`. I quickly fixed that, as well as got rid of
the useless types we had going on.
Also also also, I added a define macro to handle some of the cases that
melbert was speaking about in his review down below. All you need to do
is invoke the define on the typepath, and you should be good to go from
there. There's probably a better way to do it, lmk though. we do the
whole `do while` thing in order to prevent code leakages.
## Why It's Good For The Game
* Very easy to change the implementation. In case we need to do
something different in how we add actions or anything like that, we can
simply just edit instances where this proc is located.
* Standardizes addition behavior. There's a lot of cases like the
aforementioned not-null-checking `ai_controller` that we really need to
look out for, so having it all in one accessible proc ensures standard
behavior.
* Reduces copy-pasta. A lot of mobs had their own individual
implementation of this, so let's just clean up all those lines of code.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: The way mobs get specialized actions (like revenants shocking
lights or regal rats summoning rats to their side when you slap them)
have been modified, please report any bugs.
/🆑
This doesn't touch the following case FTR:
* Instances where we need to do work on the `/datum/action` after we
`Grant()` it, like if we were to edit some variable on the action or if
we need to call procs on said action. I don't like how the current code
is so reliant on storing a variable to it, but that's a windmill to
attack another time.
## About The Pull Request
This pr improves the gameplay of blackout drunk character via:
-Add hiccup sound cues and emote
-Add warning for duration running out
-Makes it more reasonable for blackout character to survives
-Makes it harder for blackout character to sleep
Balance changes:
-Blackout char will have random 10 seconds bouts of inability to
interact with advance tools, computer, tools, scanner etc..
-Blackout char will gain some stamina regen, sort of a "too drunk to
feel tired" buff
To-do
- [x] Add some sort of buff for blackout character
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it so blackout character gameplay is more enjoyable than just
getting sleep for 90 seconds, plus more feedback for the surrounding
player to know that they are blackout. The penalty is added so that its
harder for player to majorly grief i.e assembling the ttv, or turning
off power/sm cooling, wont stop them outright tho.
Fixes#79138, #79163
## Changelog

be forced sleep

## About The Pull Request
This makes a new ghost poll system which doesn't give TGUI popups -
instead, users are prompted to follow the POI and one of the orbiters is
chosen. The old system remains in place, so you can still prompt if you
want to.
This gives two things:
1. A deadchat notification:

2. A screen alert:

## Why It's Good For The Game
As stated in #76507, popups are pretty annoying. This is halfway between
a screen alert with no time limit and an event with more important
pings. This is better because:
1. Less popup fatigue
2. You can SEE how many you're competing with
4. DRY
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds a subtle ghost poll. This pings in dead chat and gives a
screen alert, but no TGUI popup. Orbit the point of interest to be
selected for the role.
refactor: A number of ghost spawns now feature this alert. Write an
issue report if anything breaks.

## About The Pull Request
You drink too much you lose your memory, but we cant really do that so
instead a ghost will take control of your body temporary. The drunk
character will then be given objective to do wild, wacky and otherwise
unusual stuff until the original returns to backtrack what transpired.
The blackout character will not be able to kill or hurt the body. Oh and
the duration is about 10 minutes

## About The Pull Request
Having seven trillion boolean arguments isn't kino nor poggerchampion,
let's adjust it so we use a define flag-based system that works really
nice. I also cleaned up a lot of jank and stuff that simply just never
was meant to work.
We also had sprites for nanite vomit, but this was completely unused!
Since we still have an interaction where you're meant to throw up
nanites, I added that it so it could be leveraged. Neato.

Much easier to pass in the right args or special args to a high-profile

## About The Pull Request
Renames m_intent to move_intent and moves it to the living level
renames tod to station_timestamp_timeofdeath
removes stun_absorption and see_override as one was unused and the other
was never actually implemented
## Why It's Good For The Game
Many vars on the mob and living level were intended to be on the living
and carbon level, but weren't for one reason or another. Generally it
was out of laziness to ensure the mobs being checked for these vars were
the intended mobs, and there's some todo comments on how they want it
changed in the future, though it never happened.
I'm hoping to get these all down in the future, I originally wanted to
move ``stat`` from mob to living but it had hundreds of errors so I
didn't want to do it all here.
## Changelog

## About The Pull Request
Instead of a supernatural phobia, sacrificed people will now get a
HERESY phobia, which specifically targets heretic stuff, instead of all
of magic. Other heretics, however, do not get this, but instead get
knowledge points sapped from them, as their mind is ruined in a
different way than normal people. This comes with different flavour text
and a harsher but shorter lasting mood debuff. Also fixes some
"knowlege" code typos and places the star gazer and fire shark all in
under heretic_summon
## Why It's Good For The Game
Heretics, Wizards, Chaplains and Cultists will now be able to keep
playing the game after getting sacrificed without overdosing on
psicodine, while still retaining the phobia's original design purpose.
placing the fire shark and star gazer under the same type also is useful
as they share a lot of values. typos bad.
## Changelog

add: Sacrificed heretic targets will now receive a phobia of heresy
instead of a phobia of the supernatural. Sacrificed heretics will not

## 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
Adjusts the placement of basic and upgraded cybernetic ears in the
research tree and adds two new variants: Whisper-sensitive Cybernetic
Ears, which make it slightly easier to hear whispers from a tile away,
at the cost of higher vulnerability to flashbangs and other loud noises;
and Wall-penetrating Cybernetic Ears, which allow you to 'hear through
walls' so to speak, also at the cost of higher vulnerability to loud
noises.
Basic cybernetic ears are now in basic medical tech node, meaning that
medbay can print them roundstart the same as other basic cybernetics.
The upgraded cybernetic ears are now unlocked with the other tier 2
cybernetics. The two new ear variants are unlocked with the other tier 3
cybernetic organs, and the luminiscent and welding shield eyes have also
been moved there from the cybernetic implants node for consistency
reasons.
The whisper ears allow you to clearly hear whispers from up to seven
tiles away, the same range where you can hear normal speech. The
wall-penetrating ears allow you to hear normal speech within seven tiles
even through walls. Due to technical limitations, runechat popups do not
show up for people you can't see, but the messages will still show up in
chat.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Currently, upgraded cybernetic ears are very underwhelming compared to
other high-tier cybernetic organs. All other high tier organs provide
some sort of benefit; even if the benefit is minor like a built-in
flashlight, a slightly higher tolerance to alcohol and toxins, or higher
tolerance to disgusting food. This change is intended to grant similarly
minor but useful benefits to the cybernetic ears.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Added whisper-sensitive cybernetic ears, which make it much easier
for the user to hear whispers at the cost of being more vulnerable to
loud noises
add: Added wall-penetrating cybernetic ears, which allow you to hear
speech through walls
balance: Basic cybernetic ears and upgraded cybernetic ears are now
unlocked with the other basic/normal cybernetics

unlocked with the other upgraded cybernetics

## About The Pull Request
This PR refactors mind language holders into non-existence
As a result, `update_atom_languages` is no longer necessary
Mind-bound languages are transferred via `/mind/proc/transfer_to`
Species changing no longer deletes and re-creates the mob's language
holder, allowing them to keep any languages they have.
Species languages are sourced from `LANGUAGE_SPECIES` now, meaning they
are removed when they change species. If the mob is not a human with a
species datum, these are effectively just atom level languages.
Makes a bunch of unit tests to ensure language transfer over certain
events works as intended
## Why It's Good For The Game
Mobs with minds having two independent language holders results in a
good few bugs, and simply doesn't make sense when we have sources
(`LANGUAGE_MIND`).
Instead of tracking two language holders, we can simply use sources
better and only track one.
This means that the language holder you start with is your language
holder, period. It doesn't get deleted or re-instantiated or whatever.
