## About The Pull Request
Revived my old PR https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/68901
Replaces the annoying tgui alert popup "Do you want to be X? | Yes | No
| Never for this round" that is hard to read and steals window focus,
with a nice clean alert in the top right that counts down. If it's the
same event/mob they stack with 2x, 3x, etc. It also shows how many
candidates/ghosts are signed up.
The poll alerts have screentips too, they countdown and show if you're
signed up, how many people are signed up, if you chose "never for this
round" (which is cancelable)
## Why It's Good For The Game

Way easier to see what role is available, you get a nice pic of the role
and get it's name in big text, you can cancel "never for this round",
and you can cancel signing up for a role before the timer is up
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Ghost roles now offer ghosts a clickable poll button. Ghosts
can select a role, deselect it, alt-click it for "Never For This Round",
can cancel "Never", can see the countdown, and can see how many other
people are signed up for the role poll.

## About The Pull Request
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)

## 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
really used in a few spots for a similar intent+purpose.
## 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
Doesn't concern players.
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
## Changelog

qol: Nearly every ghost alert should now feature a "VIEW" button, even

## 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.

## 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

screen alert, but no TGUI popup. Orbit the point of interest to be
selected for the role.

Many vars on the mob and living level were intended to be on the living

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.

## 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.

## 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

As a result, `update_atom_languages` is no longer necessary

Species changing no longer deletes and re-creates the mob's language

better and only track one.

## About The Pull Request
This PR adds a new helper proc which returns a list of all items
_visible_ on a human and then applies it to phobias in place of "all

This excludes pockets at all times, and other slots if you are wearing
items which cover them up.
If you have a clown phobia and the CE is storing a bananapeel in their
pocket and is wearing a clown suit under their deployed MODsuit then you
will not be afraid of them as there is no reason you would be aware of
these facts.
As soon as they remove the banana peel from their pocket to their hands,

will strike.

On the tin, doing it like this means we can reduce our overall line
fingerprint whenever we have to add two or more traits from the same
source on the same target. Especially helps when we get to the 4+ range
of traits, a breath of fresh air even.
Doesn't mean we have to do for loops, as that's already handled within
the define as well. I replaced some of the checks with `length()`
checks, let me know if I should switch it over to something else (maybe
`islist()`)? We stack_trace whenever we're not passed a list reference
on purpose, and sometimes var/lists are null by default (or just empty,
making this redundant).

both ADD_TRAIT_LIST and REMOVE_TRAIT_LIST re-use the same list, you are
confident (from a static point of view) that everything that you want to
be adding/removing works.
I may have missed a few things where this could be used, but both macros
implemented in this PR still use the same framework that was being used
in the last four years- so stuff won't break if left untouched. Just a
nifty new tool for developers.

## 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

add: The darkness that glasses and hud goggles that impact your
nightvision (think mesons, nightvision goggles, etc) lighten is now
tinted to match the glasses. S pretty IMO, and hopefully it helps with
forgetting you're wearing X.
balance: Nightvision is darker. I think bright looks bad, and things
like mesons do way too much
balance: Mesons (and mobs in general) no longer have a static distance
you can see stuff in the dark. 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.

## About The Pull Request
i was fucking around with brain traumas on a downstream and noticed they
had similar issues to quirks so i decided to continue work from #73116

(search in VSC for span class = 'notice')
its going to be a bit of a thing to get all of these but this is a
decent chunk i think
there was only one annoying/tough file.
imaginary_friend.dm had class = 'game say' and class = 'emote' both of
which after some testing did not seem like they did anything. ill try to
keep that in mind in other files if i continue to do this but i either
omitted them because they didnt have any formatting or, in the case of
emote, turned it into name, which i think is what you'd want those
messages to look like.
there were also a few small spelling errors that i fixed
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
The linters in #73202 revealed to me that `heal_overall_damage` was
overridden wrong in `carbon` and left out an argument, meaning that
plausibly some places that didn't provide an argument for `stamina`
probably had an off-by-one error with args and wouldn't apply them
properly.
I fixed that in that PR because it was using it. Then I noticed that the
same problem exists in `take_overall_damage` so I am fixing that too.
I don't know if this was linked to any actual bugs, but it might cause
some. They'd be hard to spot because it'd be for stuff like "a
shadowperson with a prosthetic takes damage to their prosthetic if not
in darkness" and probably nobody would even get into that situation let
alone notice to report it.

## About The Pull Request
- Nearsighted is now a grouped status effect.
- Blindness is now a grouped status effect.
- Eye handling of blindness has improved.
- When eyes are removed, they now cause you to become blind, rather than
handling it in `update_tint`.
- Being ahealed no longer blinds you for one tick, meaning that black
overlay on aheal is gone.
- Temporary Blindness is now a status effect.
- Both Nearsightedness and Blindness have been exorcised from mob vars
and life chains. This means that we've finally cut 2 procs from life,
`handle_status_effect` and `handle_traits`, and moved both to event
based processing. Wooo optimizations.
- Swapped pacifism status effect to use apply and set helpers.
- Removed an unused admin toggle that disabled welding helmet tint but
also tint from every clothing item and also blindness from losing your
eyes.
- Clothes now generally all blind their mob more consistently.
- Oculine, eye surgery, and sensory restoration are now no longer the
only way to fix blindness from eye damage. If your eyes are healed
through any other means, it will also heal your blindness.
- Some things that made you blind, such as ling blind sting, no longer
just flat made you blind from eye damage forever. They now cause eye
damage directly, which in turn makes you blind from eye damage, as
expected.
- Pacifists can't eyestab anymore. Eyestabs now have a limit on the
amount of blur applied.
- Refactored some `is_x_covered` procs to accept flags rather than have
a lot of arguments for some silly reason.
- Unit tests for blindness.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Blindness was exceptionally poorly handled prior, primarily due to the
fact that it was tied to the mob instead of separated out
On top of that the system put a LOT of faith in proper handling of
blindness on the coder's end which was misplaced evidently. Many places
didn't update or handle blindness correctly, or just let people
perma-blind.
Deferring it to a status effect improves this a lot
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Refactored blindness and nearsightedness. Important to note is
that all mobs are naturally blind until their eyes are actually created.
refactor: Refactored "is covered" procs
fix: Less sources of blindness now cause permanent blindness. Includes
the "Blind" Spell and "Blind Sting" from changelings.
admin: Ahealing someone no longer flashes the blind overlay for 1 tick.
admin: I removed an unused (sort of) inaccessible admin verb that
allowed you to toggle the tint from all welding helmets (and clothing)
(and lack of eyes) in existence, let me know if you want similar back
balance: Changeling "Blind Sting" now causes eye damage (enough to
blind) rather than arbitrarily forcing blindness.
balance: Visionloss virus symptom now causes eye damage (enough to
blind) rather than arbitrarily forcing blindness.
balance: Oculine has been reworked slightly. Prior, Oculine arbitrarily
healed blindness and nearsightedness from eye damage reagrdless of how
damaged the eyes were, and applied blur on success. Now, Oculine just
heals eye damage, and blindness / nearsightedness is restored in the
process. There is now a probability every tick that eye blur is applied
based on how pure the oculine is while healing very damaged eyes.
balance: Pacifists can no longer eyestab.
balance: Any clothing item that covers your eyes contributes to getting
the bonus while sleeping, and to removing temporary blindness faster

## About The Pull Request
You know the deal by now.
- Drowsiness is now tracked via status effect.
- Eye blue is now tracked via status effect.
In converting these over, cleaned up a bit of code relating to some
other effects. Attempts to unify behavior between some of them, namely
certain biotypes or mob types shouldn't be experiencing certain effects.
## Why It's Good For The Game

work with code. Allows for all mobs that can sleep to be able to get
drowsy, too.

[c9a19dd](c9a19dd7cc)
Sidemap removes the ability to control it on a plane, so it basically

Offsetting the vis_contents'd objects down physically, and then up

We use these + the floor and space planes to build a mask of all the

Then we take that, stick it in a plane master, and mask the emissive
plane with it.
This solves the lighting fulldark screen object getting cut by emissives
Shifts some planes around to match this new layering. Also ensures we
only shift fullscreen objects if they don't object to it.
