## About The Pull Request
After https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/80628, these shouldn't
be needed anymore right?
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleans up some vestigial code
## Changelog
EDIT: Not player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
Mafia is now friggin playable from the PDA, I also changed other stuff
too
- You can't use abilities on dead people if you're not supposed to (cant
kill the same person over and over)
- Changelings cant kill other Changelings
- Changelings can now only talk to eachother at night, rather than using
:j
- Everyone starts spawned in the center of the map, since people playing
on PDA can't move their characters. This is so everyone can hear PDA
users in person, as I don't want the chat log to be mandatory.
To do this, all messages you are meant to be able to see, is now logged
for you to see in your Mafia panel. This essentially means that people
playing through the PDA get a downgraded version of it, but I don't know
how much larger I want this UI to be.
Playing Mafia through the PDA will not tell you of other players ahead
of time when signing up (as it shows ckeys + pdas), but they can see the
names in-game. Unfortunately this means we'll have to remove your
customization coming with you, to prevent using it to tell who is dead
in round.
Things I am missing
- Program overlays on PDA/Laptop/Computer
- Icon for the app's header while a game is active
I'm not a spriter and can't make either of these
This is the new UI
I also fixed alert calls for PDAs and stuff
and removed the X at the top on computers since they had no battery
Looks a little better now hopefully 👍
## Why It's Good For The Game
- The current Arcade app sucks, and is a solo game. This is much more
entertaining and you can talk to others in it, which is swag as fuck.
- There's a larger potential playerbase for the Minigame making it more
likely to be played.
- Sets groundwork for a better version of
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/75879
- Adds more suspense and teamwork in the minigame.

## About The Pull Request
Mafia players are now sent to their last body when the Mafia game ends,
and in the meantime they have text saying why they are dead.
They can still be revived during this period, and when the game is up
they'll be forced back into their body if alive, if they are dead then
they'll just be able to re-enter their corpse as normal.
Also since I was poking around in Mafia stuff:
- I removed mafia observing because it was unused (this previously was
used to allow ghosts to see Changeling chat).
- I fixed it being a Draw when there was one Town or Changeling left.
- I fixed the role list showing some roles multiple times
- I fixed the Chaplain not being able to use their night ability (and
therefore being completely useless)
- I added prevention to prevent Admins from causing runtimes or straight
up crashing the server, with a very real chance it can happen purely by
accident, through the Admin UI.
I'm hoping to change how this actually does the job because I find it to
be very bad coding practices, but my problem is that everyone who signs
up for Mafia is a ghost, and they are added into the game through their
CLIENTS, so we don't have access on the mafia controller or the role, to
the player's previous body or mind, without this shit.
Also adds a new mafia board icon
Made by tatax and I find it fits more the theme of Mafia than the
current one.
New UI
## About The Pull Request
Notes in Mafia are no longer written for you, you instead write it
yourself and save.
Also adds a button to automatically say out your notes for other
players.
Hides the judgment buttons when it's not time to judge
Makes the UI autoupdate and makes use of ui_data / ui_static_data
Video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NDUSuIUqQv8
## Why It's Good For The Game
A downside to notes currently is that it's very easy to confirm yourself
as a role against players who don't code-dive to know exactly how notes
should be formatted for any role, this makes it easier, as everyone will
type out their own notes, and can send it directly to chat when needed.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: [Mafia] Notes are no longer written out for you.
qol: [Mafia] You can now send your notes to chat whenever.
qol: [Mafia] Roundend has changed. Solos will win over others in a 1v1,
but a HoP can keep a round going in case they can solo lynch.

## About The Pull Request
Turns all Mafia abilities into datums, instead of being a bunch of
shitcode on every single job.
This means it's easier to add new roles
Gives new names to some defines (such as the signal order, to make it
easier to tell when something is fired)
Adds support for modular Mafia jobs with their abilities being in a
certain order (Escort is now properly first).
De-snowflakes Changeling killing abilities and day voting, they're now
actions that are tallied when necessary.
Turns time vars into defines
Generalizes a lot of behavior for abilities, now all abilities can
properly undo their action at night
Fixes problems with the UI (Thoughtfeeder had 2 buttons during night and
they overlapped with names, that's been fixed).
### Behavior changes
- Doctor/Officer can now protect themselves 1 night, because it gives
them a way to protect themselves.
- Lawyer/Warden/Ect now choose their abilities at night, rather than the
day before. The suspense building up towards the end of the night is
part of the game, telling you that it happened at the very start is
quite lame (in the case of Lawyer, anyway).
- Admin setup now uses TGUI instead of html inputs.
- Cut night time by like, 5 seconds, because I found it a little long
lol.
- HoP doesn't count as votes to win until they reveal, because it makes
no sense an unrevealed HoP has their unrevealed votes tallied. I also
like those 1v1 Mayor V. Evil scenarios where dead chat goes crazy, and
hope to replicate that here.
- Mafia now needs 6 people to start instead of 4, because 4 players is
just not enough to play a Mafia round that will do anything but annoy
people.
- The game no longer ends if it's in a standoff with 1 Town, 1 Mafia,
and 1 Neutral, as you've got a kingmaker and they should decide who
wins.
### Things I want to change in the future
Every time night starts/ends, it checks the entire ``GLOB.airlocks`` for
doors with the "mafia" ID. This is stupid.
Rework ``check_victory()`` to make it make more sense, and be more fun
for players.
A visible death animation?
I want to use something similar to admin popup for messages about people
being on stand, and decluttering the UI in general
Also more use of balloon alerts instead of to chat messages for
everything.
Also also, making the UI more responsive to players. Button should be
red when a player is selected, so they know that's who they've selected,
if they want to unselect.
Are votes public when you first cast them? They shouldn't be wtf.
Can we also make the description for roles not be a to chat message? It
can just say when you hover over the '?' come on.
User-written wills instead of auto-generated, and able to send them in
chat
Add support for roleblock-immune roles
## Why It's Good For The Game
Updates a lot of old code to modern standards
Makes it considerably easier to work with Mafia and add new roles
Makes things less prone to breaking as easily.
Code also looks a lot cleaner now.
