## About The Pull Request
**Comes with an UpdatePaths!**
Removes the tablet subtype, PDAs now replaces them entirely.
Nukie and Silicon tablets are now subtypes of the PDA instead, while
contractor ones were removed entirely as they didn't do anything and
were unused (though it wouldn't be hard to re-add).
Nukie PDAs are now the only type of PDA that uses modular_tablets.dmi,
which is just larger icons of modular_pda. Each application requires an
icon state in both of these, for 2 different sizes, which makes it
annoying to make new applications, especially if it can also run on
computers/laptops.
### Icons
Because Silicon tablets are now a subtype of PDA, they use PDA icons
instead of tablet ones. Luckily for us, they already exist in code.
AI's don't use a tablet icon though, so they aren't affected.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's very little difference between tablets and PDAs, PDAs overshadow
them in every single way, so at this point I don't see why we should
have both of these, and if you compare the two in usefulness and actual
in-game use by players, it's a no-brainer than the item all players get
roundstart and comes with a messenger should be the one we go with.
Also as said in the about section, when making an app you would need to
make icon states for the program running for all hardware it can run on,
which is Computer, Laptop, PDA, and Tablet.
Laptop is just a smaller computer icon
PDA is just a smaller tablet icon
However, you can't simply shrink the size of the icon, instead you have
to completely resprite the same app icon FOUR TIMES for it to not
bluescreen on all these different devices.

Computer (NOTE: *They share the same icon file as regular computers*)

If we wish to help in simplifying this, we should remove tablet icons
entirely, which means 1 less icon to worry about. To do this, we'd need
to resprite nukie PDAs, however I am very much not a spriter and never
tried GAGS, so I'll leave it to someone else to do.
## Changelog
🆑
del: Tablets are now removed, PDAs are now the base 'tablet'. Silicon
and nukie tablets are now PDAs.
/🆑
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.

* Removes HDD's entirely
HDDs have been removed, though the code for it is still currently lingering as it's required for portable disks. I'll have to find a solution to this one day, but as I am going to sleep, this is a problem for future me.
* starts on removing SSD
* updatepaths and kills off SSD
* update path :D
* Fixes to programs and icons
* Ready for review now
I read over everything I did and tried to fix anything I saw wasn't done right. Hopefully better comments now.
* merge conflict fix
* can't win them all
* takes viruses into account in paths, fixes it in snowcabin
* Renames the updatepaths
* removes the qdel loop
* accidentally new'ed programs twice
* Fix program's computer var
* destroy pen and disk, dont run kill program on something killed
* more fixes for pens and idle threads
* Fixes PDAs installing apps twice.
* simplifies inserted disk & PDA disk
* fuck's sake
* Use istype instead
* revert
* Revert "revert"
This reverts commit 9ede628c6fef9c7c86417234f6d8ada1ff9e2fef.
* why did that happen
* Update code/modules/modular_computers/computers/item/tablet.dm
* MC_SSD added to master lol

* Removes a ton of unused vars, re-organizes the rest
Removes a ton of unused vars from Modular computers
Re-organizes the rest, and adds autodoc comments to most of them
Moved 2 vars (saved_image and invisible) from the tablet to the messenger app, since that's where it was used. I didn't see the point of having these vars be on every computer anyways, only PDAs have the app.
Renames Clown's honk virus var
Makes Messenger app's saved image, actually used.
* static list and NODECONSTRUCT_1 check
* oops
About The Pull Request
replaces a ton of log_game with user.log_message so the log is added to individual and global logs.
adds a few logs for individual LOG_VICTIM, LOG_ATTACK etc logging.
adds logging for bluespace launchpad's tele coords being changed.
took the word "has" out of log_combat, as it's extra and just lengthens the log.
Why It's Good For The Admins
It's extremely laggy to open game.txt so an alternative is individual game logs
Changelog
cl
admin: A lot of game logs will now also be in individual game logs, for convenience in log diving.
admin: Added logging for bluespace launchpad x and y offset changes, which go to individual game logs.
admin: Attack logs will now be slightly shorter, one useless word was removed.
/cl
Converts PDA functions and applications over to modular tablets and devices, namely the messaging function. HREF data code is quite honestly clunky and difficult to work with, as I've definitely experienced whilst working on this. By moving from this system over the easier to read (and frankly, easier to add to) TGUI system, you get cleaner looking and more user friendly UIs and a greater degree of standardization amongst other UIs.

Fixes names of golems from golem shells.
This whole manual transfer mess (golems having a special ability to swap into another mob spawner) needs better implementation.
About The Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing Shining Mob Spawn Refactor
The Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing Shining Mob Spawn Refactor is my attempt to clean up the file structure, the code, and the type tree for mob spawns.
Splits mob spawn types into corpses (dead spawns) and ghost roles (living spawns you can possess). The vars that didn't make sense for corpses and vice versa for ghost roles are now appropriately there
Because of above, there are no longer the fucking "death, roundstart, and instant" vars. thank god
Removes a lot of single or very few used vars, whose properties can be applied on special().
All Mob Spawns are given fitting folders instead of just being stuck in a single ghost roles file. Corpses are in the corpse folder, Ghost Roles are in the ghost role folder. Only exception are drones which should stay near their respective homes
Just generally cleaner all around you know
spider structures file renamed to spiderwebs now that spider eggs are gone
Why Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing Shining Mob Spawn Refactor Is Good For The Game
The Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing Shining Mob Spawn Refactor cleans up so many terrible cases and uses
Changelog For The Super Hyper Ultra Ultimate Deluxe Perfect Amazing Shining Mob Spawn Refactor
cl armhulen
refactor: Mob spawns are refactored, no more assortment of "random, instant, and roundstart" vars on every mob spawn type
refactor: if there are some minimal differences in how mob spawners feel, that's why!
