LemonInTheDark	ab307032ed	Nightvision Rework (In the name of color) (#73094) ... ## About The Pull Request Relies on #72886 for some render relay expansion I use for light_mask stuff. Hello bestie! Night vision pissed me off, so I've come to burn this place to the ground. Two sections to discuss here. First we'll talk about see_in_dark and why I hate it, second we'll discuss the lighting plane and how we brighten it, plus introducing color to the party. ### `see_in_dark` and why it kinda sucks https://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/mob/var/see_in_dark See in dark lets us control how far away from us a turf can be before we hide it/its contents if it's dark (not got luminosity set) We currently set it semi inconsistently to provide nightvision to mobs. The trouble is stuff that produces light != stuff that sets luminosity. The worst case of this can be seen by walking out of escape on icebox, where you'll see this  Snow draws above the lighting plane, so the snow will intermittently draw, depending on see_in_dark and the luminosity from tracking lights. This would in theory be solvable by modifying the area, but the same problem applies across many things in the codebase. As things currently stand, to be emissive you NEED to have a light on your tile. People are bad at this, and honestly it's a bit much to expect of them. An emissive overlay on a canister shouldn't need an element or something and a list on turfs to manage it. This gets worse when you factor in the patterns I'm using to avoid drawing lights above nothing, which leads to lights that should show, but are misoffset because their parent pixel offsets. It's silly. We do it so we can have things like mesons without just handing out night vision, but even there the effect of just hiding objects and mobs looks baddddddd when moving. It's always bothered me. I'll complain about mesons more later, but really just like, they're too bright as it is. I'm proposing here that rather then manually hiding stuff based off distance from the player, we can instead show/hide using just the lighting plane. This means things like mesons are gonna get dimmer, but that's fine because they suck. It does have some side effects, things like view() on mobs won't hide stuff in darkness, but that's fine because none actually thinks about view like that, I think. Oh and I added a case to prevent examining stuff that's in darkness, and not right next to you when you don't have enough nightvision, to match the old behavior `see_in_dark` gave us. Now I'd like to go on a mild tangent about color, please bare with me ### Color and why `lighting_alpha` REALLY sucks You ever walk around with mesons on when there's a fire going, or an ethereal or firelocks down. You notice how there isn't really much color to our lights? Doesn't that suck? It's because the way we go about brighting lighting is by making everything on the lighting plane transparent. This is fine for brightening things, but it ends up looking kinda crummy in the end and leads to really washed out colors that should be bright. Playing engineer or miner gets fucking depressing. The central idea of this pr, that everything else falls out of, is instead of making the plane more transparent, we can use color matrixes to make things AT LEAST x bright. https://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/{notes}/color-matrix Brief recap for color matrixes, fully expanded they're a set of 20 different values in a list Units generally scale 0-1 as multipliers, though since it's multiplication in order to make an rgb(1,1,1) pixel fullbright you would need to use 255s. A "unit matrix" for color looks like this: ``` list(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 ) ``` The first four rows are how much each r, g, b and a impact r, g, b and well a. So a first row of `(1, 0, 0, 0)` means 1 unit of r results in 1 unit of r. and 0 units of green, blue and alpha, and so on. A first row of `(0, 1, 0, 0)` would make 1 red component into 1 green component, and leave red, blue and alpha alone, shifting any red of whatever it's applied to a green. Using these we can essentially color transform our world. It's a fun tool. But there's more. That last row there doesn't take a variable input like the others. Instead, it ADDS some fraction of 255 to red, green, blue and alpha. So a fifth row of `(1, 0, 0, 0)` would make every pixel as red as it could possibly be. This is what we're going to exploit here. You see all these values accept negative multipliers, so we can lower colors down instead of raising them up! The key idea is using color matrix filters https://www.byond.com/docs/ref/#/{notes}/filters/color to chain these operations together. Pulling alllll the way back, we want to brighten darkness without affecting brighter colors. Lower rgb values are darker, higher ones are brighter. This relationship isn't really linear because of suffering reasons, but it's good enough for this. Let's try chaining some matrixes on the lighting plane, which is bright where fullbright, and dark where dark. Take a list like this ``` list(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, -0.2, -0.2, -0.2, 0 ) ``` That would darken the lighting a bit, but negative values will get rounded to 0 A subsequent raising by the same amount ``` list(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0 ) ``` Will essentially threshold our brightness at that value. This ensures we aren't washing out colors when we make things brighter, while leaving higher values unaffected since they basically just had a constant subtracted and then readded. ### But wait, there's more You may have noticed, we gain access to individual color components here. This means not only can we darken and lighten by thresholds, we can COLOR those thresholds. ``` list(1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0.1, 0.2, 0.1, 0 ) ``` Something like the above, if applied with its inverse, would tint the darkness green. The delta between the different scalars will determine how vivid the color is, and the actual value will impact the brightness. Something that's always bothered me about nightvision is it's just greyscale for the most part, there isn't any color to it. There was an old idea of coloring the game plane to match their lenses, but if you've ever played with the colorblind quirk you know that gets headachey really fast. So instead of that, lets color just the darkness that these glasses produce. It provides some reminder that you're wearing them, instead of just being something you forget about while playing, and provides a reason to use flashlights and such since they can give you a clearer, less tinted view of things while retaining the ability to look around things. I've so far applied this pattern to JUST headwear for humans (also those mining wisps) I'm planning on furthering it to mobs that use nightvision, but I wanted to get this up cause I don't wanna pr it the day before the freeze. Mesons are green, sec night vision is red, thermals orange, etc. I think the effect this gives is really really nice. I've tuned most things to work for the station, though mesons works for lavaland for obvious reasons. I've tuned things significantly darker then we have them set currently, since I really hate flat lighting and this system suffers when interacting with it. My goal with these is to give you a rough idea of what's around you, without a good eye for detail. That's the difference between say, mesons, and night vision. One helps you see outlines, the other gives you detail and prevents missing someone in the darkness. It's hard to balance this precisely because of different colored backgrounds (looking at you icebox) More can be done on this front in future but I'm quite happy with things as of now ### **EDIT** I have since expanded to all uses of nightvision, coloring most all of them. Along the way I turned some toggleable nightvision into just one level. Fullbright sucks, and I'd rather just have one "good" value. I've kept it for a few cases, mostly eyes you rip out of mobs. Impacted mobs are nightmares, aliens, zombies, revenants, states and sort of stands. I've done a pass on all mobs and items that impact nightvision and added what I thought was the right level of color to them. This includes stuff like blobs and shuttle control consoles As with glasses much of this was around reducing vision, though I kept it stronger here, since many of these mobs rely on it for engaging with the game <details> <summary> Technical Changes </summary> #### Adds filter proc (the ones that act like templates) support to filter transitions. Found this when testing this pr, seemed silly. #### Makes our emissive mask mask all light instead This avoids dumbass overlay lighting lighting up wallmounts. We switch modes if some turfflags are set, to accomplish the same thing with more overhead, and support showing things through the darkness. Also fixes a bug where you'd only get one fullscreen object per mob, so opening and closing a submap would take it away Also also fixes the lighting backdrop not actually spanning the screen. It doesn't actually do anything anymore because of the fullscreen light we have, but just in case that's unsued. Needs cleanup in future. #### Moves openspace to its own plane that doesn't draw, maxing its color with a sprite This is to support the above We relay this plane to lighting mask so openspace can like, have lighting #### Changes our definition of nightvision to the light cutoff of night vision goggles and such Side affect of removing see_in_dark. This logic is a bit weak atm, needs some work. #### Removes the nightvision spell It's a dupe of the nightvision action button, and newly redundant since I've removed all uses of it #### Cleans up existing plane master critical defines, ensures trasnparent won't render These sucked Also transparent stuff should never render, if it does you'll get white blobs which suck </details> ## Why It's Good For The Game Videos!

If a tile is lit, you can now see it. fix: Nightvision no longer dims colored lights, instead simply thresholding off bits of darkness that are dimmer then some level. /🆑	2023-02-17 18:10:39 -07:00
LemonInTheDark	51f02b5acc	Fixes critical plane masters improperly not being readded in show_to (#72604) ... ## About The Pull Request [Adds support for pulling z offset context from an atom's plane](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/9f215c5316e5cfdbedf6a23ff97dfee0e523354b) This is needed to fix paper bins, since the object we plane set there isn't actually on a z level. Useful elsewhere too! [Fixes compiler errors that came from asserting that plane spokesmen had a plane var](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/b830002443f2fbe230e9ff00236d7a46a9f2eec7) [Ensures lighting backdrops ALWAYS exist for each lighting plane.](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/0e931169f7c5336333bc6f41353c82f603fc1170) They can't float becuase we can see more then one plane at once yaknow? [Fixes parallax going to shit if a mob moved zs without having a client](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/244b2b25baecfc644505a3ea1e348e0cb97a04e0) Issue lies with how is_outside_bounds just blocked any plane readding It's possible for a client to not be connected during z moves, so we need to account for them rejoining in show_to, instead of just blocking any of our edge cases. Fixing this involved having parallax override blocks for show_plane and anything with the right critical flags ensuring mobs have JUST the right PMs and relays. It's duped logic but I'm unsure of how else to handle it and frankly this stuff is just kinda depressing. Might refactor later [show_to can be called twice successfully with no hide_from call.](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/commit/092581a5c06f7f884f48d41c96fa9300327ef214) Ensures no runtimes off the registers from this ## Why It's Good For The Game Fixes #72543 Fixes lighting looking batshit on multiz.

LemonInTheDark	e9c87c0acb	Starlight Polish (Space is blue!) (#72886) ... <!-- Write **BELOW** The Headers and **ABOVE** The comments else it may not be viewable. --> <!-- You can view Contributing.MD for a detailed description of the pull request process. --> ## About The Pull Request Adds support to underlays to realize_overlays Ensures decals properly handle plane offsets Fixes space lighting double applying if it's changeturf'd into. this will be important later Makes solar vis_contents block emissives as expected Moves transit tube overlays to update_overlays, adds emissive blockers to them #### Adds render steps An expansion on render_target based emissive blockers. They allow us to hijack an object's appearance and draw it somewhere else, or even modify it, THEN draw it somewhere else. They chain quite nicely Fixes shuttles deleting z holder objects #### Makes space emissive, makes walls and floors block emissives The core idea here goes like this: We make space glow, and give its overlays some color This way, the tile and space parallax remain fullbright, along with anything that doesn't block emissives, but anything that does block emissives will instead get shaded the color of starlight This requires a bit of extra work, see later This is done automatically with render relays, which now support specifiying layer and color (Need to make an editor for these one of these days) The emissive blocking floor stuff requires making a second render plate to prevent double scaling Also adds some new layering defines for lighting, and ensures all turf lights have a layer. We'll get to this soon #### Makes things in space blue We color them the same as starlight, by taking advantage of space being emissive This means that things in space that block emissive will block it correctly and be colored blue by the light overlay, but space itself will remain fullbright This does require redefining what always_lit means, but nothing but cordons use that so it's fineee #### Makes glass above space glow, and some other stuff Glass tiles that sit above space will now shine light with matching color to the glasses color. This includes mat tiles. Glass tiles (not mat because they have no alpha) also only partially block emissives. Adds a new proc that uses render steps to acomplish this, essentially we're cutting out bits below X alpha and drawing what remains as an emissive. #### Modifies partial space showing to support glow Essentially, alongside displaying space as an underlay, we also display a light overlay colored like starlight. That starlight overlay gets masked to only be visible in bits that do not contain any alpha. We also mask the turf lighting to not go into bits that have no alpha, to ensure we get the effect we want. This is done with that lighting layer thing I mentioned earlier. #### Makes appearance realization's list output ordered I want it output in order of overlay, sub overlay suboverlay, next overlay Need to use insert for that ## Why It's Good For The Game Pretty! Also having space be emissive is a very very good way to test for fucked emissive blockers (If it's broken why are we even drawing the overlay) I know for a fact mob blockers on lizards and socks are kinda yorked, I think there's more <details> <summary> Old </summary>    </details> <details> <summary> New </summary>    </details> ## Changelog <!-- If your PR modifies aspects of the game that can be concretely observed by players or admins you should add a changelog.

LemonInTheDark	e766444468	Changes our map_format to SIDE_MAP (#70162) ... ## About The Pull Request This does nothing currently, but will allow me to test for layering issues on LIVE, rather then in just wallening. Oh also I'm packaging in a fix to one of my macros that I wrote wrong, as a joke [removes SEE_BLACKNESS usage, because we actually cannot use it effectively](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/70162/commits/c9a19dd7cce95038340ebd5c1a6e4cb27ee7c9ee) [c9a19dd](https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/70162/commits/c9a19dd7cce95038340ebd5c1a6e4cb27ee7c9ee) Sidemap removes the ability to control it on a plane, so it basically just means there's an uncontrollable black slate even if you have other toggles set.

LemonInTheDark	24d795b354	Adds a preference that disables intensive rendering on different multiz layers (#71218) ... ## About The Pull Request It's kinda hacky, but it is nearly the same as just rendering one z layer. We allow people to ENTIRELY REMOVE most plane masters from their screen. This has the side effect of disabling most visual effects (AO is a big one) which saves a LOT of gpu. We rely on planes being essentially layers to ensure things render in the proper order. (outside of some hackyness required to make parallax work) I've kept parallax and lighting enabled, so visuals will still look better then multiz pre plane cube. It does also mean that things like FOV don't work, but honestly they didn't work PRE plane cube, and FOV's implementation makes me mad so I have a hard time caring. Reduces gpu usage on my machine on tram from 47% to 32%, just above the 27% I get on meta. I'm happy with this. Oh also turns out the parallaxing had almost no cost. Need to remove it as a side effect of what I'm doing but if I could keep it I would. There's still room for in between performance options, like disabling things like AO on lower z layers, but I didn't expect it to make a huge impact, so I left things as is Also fixes a bug with paper bins not respecting z layer. It came up in testing and annoyed me ## Why It's Good For The Game Ensures we can make multiz maps without running into client performance issues, allows users to customize performance and visual quality. ## Changelog 🆑 add: Adds a new rendering option to the gameplay preferences. You can now limit the rendering intensity of multiz levels. This will make things look a bit worse, but run a LOT better.

AnturK	4d6a8bc537	515 Compatibility (#71161) ... Makes the code compatible with 515.1594+ Few simple changes and one very painful one. Let's start with the easy: * puts call behind `LIBCALL` define, so call_ext is properly used in 515 * Adds `NAMEOF_STATIC(_,X)` macro for nameof in static definitions since src is now invalid there. * Fixes tgui and devserver. From 515 onward the tmp3333{procid} cache directory is not appened to base path in browser controls so we don't check for it in base js and put the dev server dummy window file in actual directory not the byond root. * Renames the few things that had /final/ in typepath to ultimate since final is a new keyword And the very painful change: `.proc/whatever` format is no longer valid, so we're replacing it with new nameof() function. All this wrapped in three new macros. `PROC_REF(X)`,`TYPE_PROC_REF(TYPE,X)`,`GLOBAL_PROC_REF(X)`. Global is not actually necessary but if we get nameof that does not allow globals it would be nice validation. This is pretty unwieldy but there's no real alternative. If you notice anything weird in the commits let me know because majority was done with regex replace. @tgstation/commit-access Since the .proc/stuff is pretty big change.

LemonInTheDark	a625fc8038	Cleans up the fallout from plane cube (#70235) ... * Cleans up the fallout from plane cube Alright. Makes cleaning bubbles respect planes Adds support for updating overlays on move, fixing an issue with pointing at items Adds better error messages for failing to provide args for mutable_appearance() Fixes a bug where string overlays were not respecting insertion order * Adds documentation for offset spokesman and offset_const * Better stack trace * Removes some redundant uses of cached MAs At this scale, attempting to cache MAs like this has 0 impact on anything And just makes things more messy then they need to be * ensures fullscreen objects START offset, so things are always proper * ensures chatmessages always have the right offset * fixes compile * whoops, the above lighting plane should actually be ABOVE the lighting plane * fixes compile, also cleans up the fire overlay a tad * Adds a unit test for plane masters that are shrunk by multiz being double shrunk This is slightly hacky because of how I'm handing the plane master group, but it's not THAT bad, and gives me some real good coverage * Properly targets the seethrough plane at the game world plate. This fixes unit tests, and also just makes more sense * whoops * oh * adds datum support for allocate(), cleans up a harddel from testing * Makes camera chunks index at 1, and also makes them support non powers of two sizes, since that was unneeded * fixes runtime in allocate	2022-10-20 09:00:02 +13:00
LemonInTheDark	23bfdec8f4	Multiz Rework: Human Suffering Edition (Contains PLANE CUBE) (#69115) ... About The Pull Request I've reworked multiz. This was done because our current implementation of multiz flattens planes down into just the openspace plane. This breaks any effects we attach to plane masters (including lighting), but it also totally kills the SIDE_MAP map format, which we NEED for wallening (A major 3/4ths resprite of all wall and wall adjacent things, making them more then one tile high. Without sidemap we would be unable to display things both in from of and behind objects on map. Stupid.) This required MASSIVE changes. Both to all uses of the plane var for reasons I'll discuss later, and to a ton of different systems that interact with rendering. I'll do my best to keep this compact, but there's only so much I can do. Sorry brother. Core idea OK: first thing. vis_contents as it works now squishes the planes of everything inside it down into the plane of the vis_loc. This is bad. But how to do better? It's trivially easy to make copies of our existing plane masters but offset, and relay them to the bottom of the plane above. Not a problem. The issue is how to get the actual atoms on the map to "land" on them properly. We could use FLOAT_PLANE to offset planes based off how they're being seen, in theory this would allow us to create lens for how objects are viewed. But that's not a stable thing to do, because properly "landing" a plane on a desired plane master would require taking into account every bit of how it's being seen, would inherently break this effect. Ok so we need to manually edit planes based off "z layer" (IE: what layer of a z stack are you on). That's the key conceit of this pr. Implementing the plane cube, and ensuring planes are always offset properly. Everything else is just gravy. About the Plane Cube Each plane master (except ones that opt out) is copied down by some constant value equal to the max absolute change between the first and the last plane. We do this based off the max z stack size detected by SSmapping. This is also where updates come from, and where all our updating logic will live. As mentioned, plane masters can choose to opt out of being mirrored down. In this case, anything that interacts with them assuming that they'll be offset will instead just get back the valid plane value. This works for render targets too, since I had to work them into the system as well. Plane masters can also be temporarily hidden from the client's screen. This is done as an attempt at optimization, and applies to anything used in niche cases, or planes only used if there's a z layer below you. About Plane Master Groups BYOND supports having different "maps" on screen at once (IE: groups of items/turfs/etc) Plane masters cannot cover 2 maps at once, since their location is determined by their screen_loc. So we need to maintain a mirror of each plane for every map we have open. This was quite messy, so I've refactored it (and maps too) to be a bit more modular. Rather then storing a list of plane masters, we store a list of plane master group datums. Each datum is in charge of the plane masters for its particular map, both creating them, and managing them. Like I mentioned, I also refactored map views. Adding a new mapview is now as simple as newing a /atom/movable/screen/map_view, calling generate_view with the appropriate map id, setting things you want to display in its vis_contents, and then calling display_to on it, passing in the mob to show ourselves to. Much better then the hardcoded pattern we used to use. So much duplicated code man. Oh and plane master controllers, that system we have that allows for applying filters to sets of plane masters? I've made it use lookups on plane master groups now, rather then hanging references to all impacted planes. This makes logic easier, and prevents the need to manage references and update the controllers. image In addition, I've added a debug ui for plane masters. It allows you to view all of your own plane masters and short descriptions of what they do, alongside tools for editing them and their relays. It ALSO supports editing someone elses plane masters, AND it supports (in a very fragile and incomplete manner) viewing literally through someone else's eyes, including their plane masters. This is very useful, because it means you can debug "hey my X is yorked" issues yourself, on live. In order to accomplish this I have needed to add setters for an ungodly amount of visual impacting vars. Sight flags, eye, see_invis, see_in_dark, etc. It also comes with an info dump about the ui, and plane masters/relays in general. Sort of on that note. I've documented everything I know that's niche/useful about our visual effects and rendering system. My hope is this will serve to bring people up to speed on what can be done more quickly, alongside making my sin here less horrible. See https://github.com/LemonInTheDark/tgstation/blob/multiz-hell/.github/guides/VISUALS.md. "Landing" planes Ok so I've explained the backend, but how do we actually land planes properly? Most of the time this is really simple. When a plane var is set, we need to provide some spokesperson for the appearance's z level. We can use this to derive their z layer, and thus what offset to use. This is just a lot of gruntwork, but it's occasionally more complex. Sometimes we need to cache a list of z layer -> effect, and then use that. Also a LOT of updating on z move. So much z move shit. Oh. and in order to make byond darkness work properly, I needed to add SEE_BLACKNESS to all sight flags. This draws darkness to plane 0, which means I'm able to relay it around and draw it on different z layers as is possible. fun darkness ripple effects incoming someday I also need to update mob overlays on move. I do this by realiizing their appearances, mutating their plane, and then readding the overlay in the correct order. The cost of this is currently 3N. I'm convinced this could be improved, but I've not got to it yet. It can also occasionally cause overlays to corrupt. This is fixed by laying a protective ward of overlays.Copy in the sand, but that spell makes the compiler confused, so I'll have to bully lummy about fixing it at some point. Behavior changes We've had to give up on the already broken gateway "see through" effect. Won't work without managing gateway plane masters or something stupid. Not worth it. So instead we display the other side as a ui element. It's worse, but not that bad. Because vis_contents no longer flattens planes (most of the time), some uses of it now have interesting behavior. The main thing that comes to mind is alert popups that display mobs. They can impact the lighting plane. I don't really care, but it should be fixable, I think, given elbow grease. Ah and I've cleaned up layers and plane defines to make them a bit easier to read/reason about, at least I think. Why It's Good For The Game <visual candy> Fixes #65800 Fixes #68461 Changelog cl refactor: Refactored... well a lot really. Map views, anything to do with planes, multiz, a shit ton of rendering stuff. Basically if you see anything off visually report it admin: VV a mob, and hit View/Edit Planes in the dropdown to steal their view, and modify it as you like.

TiviPlus	901bbf7699	Rendering refactor P1: Plane unification and render relaying (pictures and video included) (#61286) ... What does the PR do This reworks how our rendering is handled, specifically moves away from plane masters as the end solution: Instead we replace plane masters rendering directly to client with planes that render multiple planes onto them as objects in order to be able to affect multiple planes while treating them as a single object. This is done by relaying the plane using a "render relay" onto a "render plate" which acts as a plane master of plane masters of sorts, and since planes are rendered onto it as single objects any filters we apply to them will render over the planes, treating them as a single unit image Also cleaned up unused plane masters and render targets to reduce clutter, as well as removing a useless filter that was resulting from confusion due to said clutter. Clientside performance testing showed no significant change, no effect on serverside performance as this is clientside. Also added the blackness plane master so it can be relayed, side effect is that it can now be used to adjust how blackness is rendered P2 should introduce rendering one plane to multiple render_plates, but i want to get this done before I finish that, though testing shows its feasible Why It's Good For The Game Allows more advanced effects.
