## About The Pull Request
This PR contains an intermediate refactor and a bug-fix for sign
language, which was originally from the Tongue Tied quirk/tongue. With
helpful advice from @MrMelbert and @LemonInTheDark, I have successfully
decoupled sign language from the tongue and ported it into a highly
modular DCS component, and then added an Action for toggling it. Big
thanks to @Wallemations, the original creator of Tongue Tied, for
creating the new Action sprite and helping me to complete this project!
The new sign language component is added to all new Carbon mobs, and
incrementally overrides several critical functions, variables, and
argument lists relevant to a mob's speech; the component primarily
listens for the addition/removal of trait `TRAIT_SIGN_LANG` in order to
function.
Additionally, fixed a bug in the original implementation of sign
language that caused its say verbs such as "emphatically signs" to stop
working. The bug was caused by an unsafe early removal of exclamation
points from the input string, causing a conflict with the `say_mod` proc
which requires such punctuation points to be present.
Here's a granular list of changes:
- Added a ubiquitous signal to extend the behavior of
`/atom/movable/proc/say_quote`.
- Added a ubiquitous signal to extend the behavior of
`/atom/movable/proc/lang_treat`.
- Fixed a bug in the original implementation of sign language that
caused its `verb_yell` to stop working.
- Refactored sign language into a Carbon-only DCS component.
- Refactored the Tongue Tied tongue to use `TRAIT_SIGN_LANG` and
`TRAIT_MUTE`.
- Removed the Tongue Tied quirk, in favor of two separate quirks.
- Added the Signer quirk for sign language, good, costs 4 points.
- Added the Mute quirk, negative, gives 4 points.
- Added a rare sign language Action granter book to maint and space
loot, "Galactic Standard Sign Language".
## Why It's Good For The Game
This PR tactfully re-implements Tongue Tied, re-introducing it as two
new quirks: For sign language itself, I added the Signer quirk, which is
a good quirk which allows you to use sign language for 4 quirk points. I
also added the Mute quirk, which grants 4 quirk points in exchange for
your audible voice. There is also a marked improvement in the code
health as a result of my changes.
Here's a preview of the sign language Action. If you're also mute, it
becomes invisible to reduce clutter:

In regard to how useful sign language is, it can be used as:
1. A way to communicate across a vacuum without a radio.
2. An easy way to communicate with deaf people.
3. An easy way to communicate as a Mute person.
## Changelog
🆑 A.C.M.O.

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.

Starts shaving off a lot of less than 0.1s performance killers by, in
nearly every case, just writing better code.
Numbers are amount saved.
- /obj/machinery/bluespace_vendor/LateInitialize -> 29.4ms
Changes a loop over all machines to a specialized list.
- /obj/structure/table/glass/Initialize -> 42.53ms
Stops every table from initializing glass shards and table frames before
any destruction.
- /obj/structure/chair/Initialize -> 24.64ms
Removes an unnecessary addtimer that existed for chairs that weren't
anchored in emergency shuttles. Didn't do anything.
- /datum/orderable_item/New -> 44.3ms
Instead of initializing every item to get its desc, just uses initial.
Added a unit test to make sure none are dynamic.
- /obj/machinery/computer/slot_machine/Initialize -> 26.19ms
Currently goes through every coin subtype, creates it, calls a proc,
then qdels it. Changes that to only run once. Could be optimized further
by making the coin info on a datum to avoid creating the object, but it
currently sits at 7.82ms, far below worth caring about for now.
- /obj/machinery/door_buttons/airlock_controller/findObjsByTag -> 3.51ms
Loops over just doors instead of typechecking airlock in machines.
- /obj/structure/closet/Initialize -> 60.57ms
Moves the code for taking everything on the tile from a next-tick timer
to LateInitialize.
- /obj/machinery/rnd/experimentor/Initialize -> 36.92ms
Changes a list that is generated by going through every item in the game
and getting information from a large amount of them to only run when
needed.
- /obj/structure/tank_dispenser/Initialize -> 20.81ms
No longer initializes every tank in it right away, only when needed.
- /obj/machinery/telecomms/LateInitialize -> 16.63ms
Removes `urange` to instead just loop over telecomms machines and check
distance. There's not that many of them.
- /mob/living/simple_animal/hostile/carp/cayenne/Initialize -> 3.17ms
Defers a GAGS overlay creation until its needed. BTW GAGS is
*horrendous* on init costs, and is the root cause for a lot of pretty
terrible performance. I investigated precompiling but the gains weren't
crazy, but likely could be the more stuff is GAGS'd.
- /turf/open/floor/engine/cult/Initialize -> 14.64ms
Temporary visual effect that is created is no longer done on mapload,
since nobody will see it.
- /datum/techweb/specialized/autounlocking/proc/autounlock -> 5.55ms

it's still 14.21ms for 17 calls.
- /matrix/New -> 13.41ms

~~Changed the mineral matrice to only generate once, then take it from a

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.

About The Pull Request
Reorganizes the entire icons/mob folder.
Added the following new subfolders:
nonhuman-player (this was initially just called "antag", but then I realized guardians aren't technically antags)
simplemob
silicon
effects (for bloodstains, fire, etc)
simplemob/held-pets (for exactly that -- I wasn't sure if this should go in inhands instead)
species/monkey
Moves the following stuff:
All human parts moved into species, with moth, lizard, monkey, etc parts moved to corresponding subfolders. Previously, there were some moth parts in mob/species/moth, and others just loose in mob. Other species were similar.
icemoon, lavaland, and jungle folders made into subfolders of simplemob
All AI and silicon stuff, as well as Beepsky et al. into the silicon folder, simplemobs into the simplemob folder, aliens into the nonhuman-player folder, etc.
Split up animal_parts.dmi into two bodyparts.dmi which were put in their respective folders (species/alien and species/monkey)
Code changes:
Filepath changes to account for all of this
Adds a check when performing surgery on monkeys and xenos, because we can no longer assume their limbs are in the same file
Turns some hardcoded statues and showcases that were built into maps into objects instead
Things I'd like to do in the future but cant be assed right now:
Remove primarily-antag sprites from simplemob/mob.dmi (Revenant, Morph, etc.) and put them in the nonhuman-player folder
Split up mutant_bodyparts.dmi into different files for Tizirans, Felinids, monkeys, etc and put them in their own folders. Those may have once been meant primarily for mutated humans but that's now how they're being used right now.

/obj/shapeshift_holder was one of the worst remaining abuses of /obj direct subtypes, so I replaced it with a cool fancy datum.

* Moves all icons into a single drinks dmi
I'm not that great at icon stuff, hopefully I didn't forget/break anything.

- removed some vars which were too general, replaced them with more locally applicable vars. for example "range" which could mean "projectile range" or "aoe radius" or whatever - instead of having a broad net which everyone applies to in a confusing matter, instead lets each spell delegate on their own.
- merged magic/spell and magic/aoe, as the comment intended
- more unified behavior for spell levelling

About The Pull Request
fixes#66887
done for the code bounty posted by @MMMiracles to optimize the tram so that it can be sped up. the tram is now twice as fast, firing every tick instead of every 2 ticks. and is now around 10x cheaper to move. also adds support for multiz trams, as in trams that span multiple z levels.
the tram on master takes around 10-15 milliseconds per movement with nothing on it other than its starting contents. why is this? because the tram is the canary in the coal mines when it comes to movement code, which is normally expensive as fuck. the tram does way more work than it needs to, and even finds new ways to slow the game down. I'll walk you through a few of the dumber things the tram currently does and how i fixed them.
the tram, at absolute minimum, has to move 55 separate industrial_lift platforms once per movement. this means that the tram has to unregister its entered/exited signals 55 times when "the tram" as a singular object is only entering 5 new turfs and exiting 5 old turfs every movement, this means that each of the 55 platforms calculates their own destination turfs and checks their contents every movement. The biggest single optimization in this pr was that I made the tram into a single 5x11 multitile object and made it only do entering/exiting checks on the 5 new and 5 old turfs in each movement.
way too many of the default tram contents are expensive to move for something that has to move a lot. fun fact, did you know that the walls on the tram have opacity? do you know what opacity does for movables? it makes them recalculate static lighting every time they move. did you know that the tram, this entire time, was taking JUST as much time spamming SSlighting updates as it was spending time in SStramprocess? well it is! now it doesnt do that, the walls are transparent. also, every window and every grille on the tram had the atmos_sensitive element applied to them which then added connect_loc to them, causing them to update signals every movement. that is also dumb and i got rid of that with snowflake overrides. Now we must take care to not add things that sneakily register to Moved() or the moved signal to the roundstart tram, because that is dumb, and the relative utility of simulating objects that should normally shatter due to heat and conduct heat from the atmosphere is far less than the cost of moving them, for this one object.
all tram contents physically Entered() and Exited() their destination and old turfs every movement, even though because they are on a tram they literally do not interact with the turf, the tram does. also, any objects that use connect_loc or connect_loc behalf that are on the same point on the tram also interact with each other because of this. now all contents of the tram act as if theyre being abstract_move()'d to their destination so that (almost) nothing thats in the destination turf or the exit turf can react to the event of "something laying on the tram is moving over you". the rare things that DO need to know what is physically entering or exiting their turf regardless of whether theyre interacting with the ground can register to the abstract entered and exited signals which are now always sent.
many of the things hooked into Moved(), whether it be overrides of Moved() itself, or handlers for the moved signal, add up to a LOT of processing time. especially for humans. now ive gotten rid of a lot of it, mostly for the tram but also for normal movement. i made footsteps (a significant portion of human movement cost) not do any work if the human themselves didnt do the movement. i optimized has_gravity() a fair amount, and then realized that since everything on the tram isnt changing momentum, i didnt actually need to check gravity for the purposes of drifting (newtonian_move() was taking a significant portion of the cost of movement at some points along the development process). so now it simply doesnt call newtonian_move() for movements that dont represent a change in momentum (by default all movements do).
also i put effort into 1. better organizing tram/lift code so that most of it is inside of a dedicated modules folder instead of scattered around 5 generic folders and 2. moved a lot of behavior from lift platforms themselves into their lift_master_datum since ideally the platforms would just handle moving themselves, while any behavior involving the entire lift such as "move to destination" and "blow up" would be handled by the lift_master_datum.

multiz tram (this just adds the capability to map it like this, no tram does this)
Actual Performance Differences
to benchmark this, i added a world.Profile(PROFILER_START) and world.Profile(PROFILER_START) to the tram moving, so that it generates a profiler output of all tram movement without any unrelated procs being recorded (except for world.Profile() overhead). this made it a lot easier to quantify what was slowing down both the tram and movement in general. and i did 3 types of tests on both master and my branch.
also i should note that i sped up the "master" tram test to move once per tick as well, simply because the normal movement speed seems unbearably slow now. so all recorded videos are done at twice the speed of the real tram on master. this doesnt affect the main thing i was trying to measure: cost for each movement.
the first test was the base tram, containing only my player mob and the movables starting on the tram roundstart. on master, this takes around 13 milliseconds or so on my computer (which is pretty close to what it takes on the servers), on this branch, it takes between 0.9-1.3 milliseconds.
ALSO in these benchmarks youll see that tram/proc/travel() will vary significantly between the master and optimized branches. this is 100% because there are 55 times more platforms moving on master compared to the master branch, and thus 55x more calls to this proc. every test was recorded with the exact same amount of distance moved
here are the master and optimized benchmark text files:

also this shows the increased SSlighting usage resulting from the tram on master spamming updates, which doesnt happen on the optimized branch

the second test is meant to benchmark the best case scaling cost of moving objects, where nothing extra is registered to movement besides the bare minimum stuff on the /atom/movable level. Each of the open tiles of the tram had 1 bluespace rped filled with parts dumped onto it, to the point that the tram in total was moving 2100 objects. the vast majority of these objects did nothing special in movement so they serve as a good base case. only slightly off due to the rped's registering to movement.
on master, this test takes over 100 milliseconds per movement

optimization 2000 obj's.txt
the third test is 300 humans spawned onto the tram, meant to test all the shit added on to movement cost for humans/carbons. in retrospect this test is actually way too biased in favor of my optimizations since the humans are all in only 3 tiles, so all 100 humans on a tile are reacting to the other 99 humans movements, which wouldnt be as bad if they were distributed across 20 tiles like in the second test. so dont read into this one too hard.
on master, this test takes 200 milliseconds

when optimized, this takes about 13-14 milliseconds.

Why It's Good For The Game
the tram is literally 10x cheaper to move. and the code is better organized.
currently on master the tram is as fast as running speed, meaning it has no real relative utility compared to just running the tracks (except for the added safety of not having to risk being ran over by the tram). now the tram of which we have an entire map based around can be used to its full potential.
also, has some fixes to things on the tram reacting to movement. for example on master if you are standing on a tram tile that contains a banana and the TRAM moves, you will slip if the banana was in that spot before you (not if you were there first however). this is because the banana has no concept of relative movement, you and it are in the same reference frame but the banana, which failed highschool physics, believes you to have moved onto it and thus subjected you to the humiliation of an unjust slipping. now since tram contents that dont register to abstract entered/exited cannot know about other tram contents on the same tile during a movement, this cannot happen.
also, you no longer make footstep sounds when the tram moves you over a floor
TODO
mainly opened it now so i can create a stopping point and attend to my other now staling prs, we're at a state of functionality far enough to start testmerging it anyways.
add a better way for admins to be notified of the tram overloading the server if someone purposefully stuffs it with as much shit as they can, and for admins to clear said shit.
automatically slow down the tram if SStramprocess takes over like, 10 milliseconds complete. the tram still cant really check tick and yield without introducing logic holes, so making sure it doesnt take half of the tick every tick is important
go over my code to catch dumb shit i forgot about, there always is for these kinds of refactors because im very messy
remove the area based forced_gravity optimization its not worth figuring out why it doesnt work
fix the inevitable merge conflict with master lol
create an icon for the tram_tunnel area type i made so that objects on the tram dont have to enter and exit areas twice in a cross-station traversal
add an easy way to vv tram lethality for mobs/things being hit by it. its an easy target in another thing i already wanted to do: a reinforced concept of shared variables from any particular tram platform and the entire tram itself. admins should be able to slow down the tram by vv'ing one platform and have it apply to the entire tram for example.
Changelog
cl
balance: the tram is now twice as fast, pray it doesnt get any faster (it cant without raising world fps)
performance: the tram is now about 10 times cheaper to move for the server
add: mappers can now create trams with multiple z levels
code: industrial_lift's now have more of their behavior pertaining to "the entire lift" being handled by their lift_master_datum as opposed to belonging to a random platform on the lift.

* An Exploration Into Lame Jobs - Syndicate Listening Post Remap
Hey there,
Have you ever been bored at your job? A job where you can't scheme something up to get you up to date? Stranded at your job? Alone at your job? Has the job ever asked you a lot of question? Like I am right now? Should I stop?
Anyways, I decided to think about it, and I remapped the Syndicate's Space Listening Post. How nice!
* Fuck you (refactors ur tails)
* Errors
* Wow. Pain.
* Fixes up probably everything
* finish up here
* Fixes hard del maybe
* original owner hard del
* garbage collection runtime
* suck my peen byond
* Mapped tails
* motherfucker.
* motherrfucker. again.
* Whooopppppsie
* yeah bad idea
* Turns out external organs literally just sat in nullspace forever if their parent was deleted, and didnt Remove() themselves, causing harddels.
* So anyways I repathed all organs
* Fixes
* really.
* unit test... test
* unit test-test but it passes linters this time because im a moh-ron
* I've lost track of what im doing at this point
* Hopefully fixes hard del?
* meh
* Update code/datums/dna.dm
* things n stuff
* repath from master pull
refactors our disease code a tiny bit
removes permeability_coefficient variable from clothing, it decided how much stuff like chems or disease passed through your clothes, while BIO armor only decided how much you could spread diseases yourself, making it pretty much laughable
permeability_coefficient is now fully rolled into bio armor, so your bio protecting stuff will now protect you from other biological hazards like blobs
* Alright, so I'm optimizing parallax code so I can justify making it do a
bit more work
To that end, lets make the checks it does each process event based.
There's two. One is for a difference in view, which is an easy fix since
I added a view setter like a year back now.
The second is something planets do when you change your z level.
This gets more complicated, because we're "owned" by a client.
So the only real pattern we can use to hook into the client's mob's
movement is something like connect_loc_behalf.
So, I've made connect_mob_behalf. Fuck you.
This saves a proc call and some redundant logic
* Fixes random parallax stuttering
Ok so this is kinda a weird one but hear me out.
Parallax has this concept of "direction" that some areas use, mostly
the shuttle transit ones. Set when you move into a new area.
So of course it has a setter. If you pass it a direction that it doesn't
already have, it'll start up the movement animation, and disable normal
parallax for a bit to give it some time to get going.
This var is typically set to 0.
The problem is we were setting /area/space's direction to null in
shuttle movement code, because of a forgotten proc arg.
Null is of course different then 0, so this would trigger a halt in
parallax processing.
This causes a lot of strange stutters in parallax, mostly when you're
moving between nearspace and space. It looks really bad, and I'm a bit
suprised none noticed.
I've fixed it, and added a default arg to the setter to prevent this
class of issue in future. Things look a good bit nicer this way
* Adds animation back to parallax
Ok so like, I know this was removed and "none could tell" and whatever,
and in fairness this animation method is a bit crummy.
What we really want to do is eliminate "halts" and "jumps" in the
parallax moveemnt. So it should be smooth.
As it is on live now, this just isn't what happens, you get jumping
between offsets. Looks frankly, horrible. Especially on the station.
Just what I've done won't be enough however, because what we need to do
is match our parallax scroll speed with our current glide speed. I need
to figure out how to do this well, and I have a feeling it will involve
some system of managing glide sources.
Anyway for now the animation looks really nice for ghosts with default
(high) settings, since they share the same delay.
I've done some refactoring to how old animation code worked pre (4b04f9012d). Two major
changes tho.
First, instead of doing all the animate checks each time we loop over a
layer, we only do the layer dependant ones. This saves a good bit of
time.
Second, we animate movement on absolute layers too. They're staying in
the same position, but they still move on the screen, so we do the same
gental leaning. This has a very nice visual effect.
Oh and I cleaned up some of the code slightly.
* Removes all supurfolus uses of QDEL_HINT_LETMELIVE
This define exists to allow abstract, sturucturally important things to
opt out of being qdeleted.
It does not exist to be a "Immune to everything" get out of jail free
card.
We have systems for this, and it's not appropriate here.
This change is inherently breaking, because things might be improperly
qdeling these things. Those issues will need to be resolved in future,
as they pop up
* Changes all needless uses of COMSIG_PARENT_PREQDELETED
It exists for things that want to block the qdel. If that's not you,
don't use it
* Adds force and hard del verbs, for chip and break glass cases
respectively
The harddel verb comes with two options before it's run, to let you
tailor it to your level of fucked
* Damn you nova
Adds proper parent returns instead of . = ..()

Areas.dmi right now houses all of our mapped turfs icons (which is roughly 400 icons). Not an issue, but it's incredibly large and clunky to navigate right now. This isn't an issue for the average coder and/or player code diving, but it is for mappers wanting to add new turfs. Currently, the file has some organization, but its still an overall mess. This PR aims to slice the behemoth with multiple .dmi files corresponding to specific areas.
I also plan to repath /area/* -> /area/station/* for station turf only. This is to clean it up, as most other turfs follow this format (that being /area/turf_zone/*).
I'm also writing an update paths file as I go along.
