## About The Pull Request
This PR does a couple of minor things:
Makes the job debug logging a bit easier to follow.
Minorly brings some SSjob code up to code standards, converting proc
names to snake_case and doing some otherm is cleanup.
Refactored some stuff into different procs, updated some comments.
And some major things:
Changes the job assignment logic.
Old behaviour
> Assign dynamic priority roles
> Force one Head of Staff (if possible)
> Assign all AIs
> Assign overflow roles (bugged in 2 ways)
> Shuffle the available jobs list once, at the start of the random job
assignment loop
> Pick and assign random jobs for random players from High prefs down,
with a priority on Head of Staff roles
> Handle everyone that couldn't be assigned a random job
New behaviour
> Assign dynamic priority roles
> Assign all Head of Staff roles to players with High prefs
> If no Head of Staff was made in the above way, force one Head of Staff
(if possible)
> Assign all AIs
> Assign overflow roles (fixed)
> Prioritise and fill unfilled head roles at each job priority pref
level, from High prefs down.
> Build a list of all jobs that each unassigned player could be eligible
for at the above pref level.
> Pick a job from that list at random and assign it to the player.
> Handle everyone that couldn't be assigned a random job.
In reality there should be little impact on overall job assignment, the
code changes read more as semantics. For example, the priority check for
filling Head slots will have the same candidate pool in both old and new
versions, but in the new version we're more clearly saying that Heads
are important and we want to prioritise filling them for the sake of
round progression even though the outcome in new and old is the same.
A key change will lead to an increase in assistants - Overflow fixes.
Currently the code block to do early assignments to the Overflow role
doesn't work - or works but not as you'd expect. The idea was is that
because enabling the Overflow role in the prefs menu is an On/Off toggle
that sets the job to High priority when enabled and prevents any other
High priority pref, players that have the Overflow role enabled will
**always** get it. It's their highest priority job with infinite slots.
So we do a pass right at the start to give everyone with the Overflow
role enabled that role and save us wasting time later on in random job
code giving them that same role but with more work.
The problem is the code for this only assigns the Overflow role to
people with it set to Low priority in their prefs, resulting in log
readouts like:
```
[2024-07-27 09:49:43.469] DEBUG-JOB: DO, Running Overflow Check 1
[2024-07-27 09:49:43.469] DEBUG-JOB: Running FOC, Job: /datum/job/assistant, Level: Low Priority

[2024-07-27 09:49:43.475] DEBUG-JOB: AC1, Candidates: 0
```
Where nobody gets pre-assigned the overflow role because their prefs are
all set to the High priority from being toggled... Except wait a second,
some people have it at Medium priority when it should just be a No
Role/High Priority Role toggle?
And herein we meet a problem. My hypothesis is that traits and stuff
that change the overflow have allowed players to set the "ordinary"
overflow role of Assistant to Medium and/or Low priority.
This still shows as enabled in the prefs menu, but leads to an outcome
where a player with assistant enabled is assigned Cook instead.
```
[2024-07-27 09:49:47.775] DEBUG-JOB: DO, Running Overflow Check 1
[2024-07-27 09:49:47.775] DEBUG-JOB: Running FOC, Job: /datum/job/assistant, Level: Low Priority

...
[2024-07-27 09:49:47.987] DEBUG-JOB: Running AR, Player: Bebrus2, Job: /datum/job/cook, LateJoin: 0
```
So players with the Overflow job pref set to Low (an unexpected state,
should be disabled or High) would be guaranteed to get that role if none
of the higher priority Head of Staff/AI/Dynamic roles took over via the
bugged "force overflow for people with the pref enabled" proc.
Players with the Overflow job pref set to High would be guaranteed to
get that role if none of the higher priority Head of Staff/AI/Dynamic
roles took over via the random job assignment code giving them their
Highest priority role thanks to the infinite job slots of the Overflow.
And players with the Overflow job pref set to Medium (an unexpected
state, should be disabled or High) would get Assistant if the shuffle
step of the available jobs list put Assisstant before any of the other
jobs they had prefs enabled for at Medium that weren't already filled,
otherwise they'd get another random job.
This code is now changed to ignore the priority the player has set when
looking for people to fill the overflow role. As long as it **is**
enabled, the player will get it unless they're forced into a dynamic
ruleset role (AI when malf rolls) or a Head of Staff role due to their
other prefs (they have RD set to med or low, and no other player has a
Head of Staff at high so they get randomly picked and miss the overflow
role).
This will increase the number of assistants in shifts where their pref
state has Assisstant in the bugged Medium priority, but doesn't change
it for bugged Low and not-bugged High/On priority.
On the other side of the coin, we have how the random jobs are picked.
They're kinda not random, and I noticed this reading the logs then
reading the code.
The list of available jobs to pick from is randomly shuffled - but only
**once**. All players pull from a list of jobs in the same order. So you
end up with a log block like this:
```
[2024-07-27 09:49:47.985] DEBUG-JOB: DO pass, Player: Pierow, Level:3, Job:Botanist

```
The list is shuffled into an order of something like `list("Scientist",
"Botanist", "Cook", "Sec Officer", ...)` then iterated over for each
player. So every random job selection goes:
> "Does Player1 have Scientist enabled and at the right priority? No?
Okay, Botanist? Yes? You get botanist."
> "Does Player2 have Scientist enabled and at the right priority? No?
Okay, Botanist? Yes? You get botanist."
> "Does Player3 have Scientist enabled and at the right priority? No?
Okay, Botanist has no slots left so we'll remove it from the list. Okay,
Cook? Yes? You get cook."
> "Does Player4 have Scientist enabled and at the right priority? No?
Okay, Cook has no slots left so we'll remove it from the list. Okay, Sec
Officer? ..."
This can lead to stacked individual departments if it gets randomly
rolled to the start of the list in the shuffle, and completely empty
departments if they end up at the end.
On high pop shifts this is probably less of an issue. Player prefs add
noise to this and as departments at the front fill up, those at the back
pick up some of the lower pref players.
But have you ever had a shift where there's just like... No fucking sec
even though there's tons of players? The logging (before I made changes
in this PR) was a bit ass, but my hypothesis there is that sec officer
was shuffled right at the end of the random job list, so every other
department was filled up before sec officers were picked.
To mitigate this, I made the list shuffle every single time the game
picks a random available job for the player. This should lead to a more
balanced selection of available jobs by avoiding situations where the
code is biased towards packing some departments by accident.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Overflow fixes mean people who go to their prefs and see the Overflow
Role is On will all have the same experience - They will be the Overflow
role.
More random random job selection should prevent individual departments
having a jobs be stacked when it would have otherwise been possible for
a more balanced selection but the code unintentially biased random
departments to be overstaffed and understaffed each shift.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Having the Overflow Role set to On will properly ensure you get
that role at a High priority as intended by the game code.
fix: Job selection is now a little bit more random. Fixes an
unintentional bias in random job assignment that could lead to
feast-or-famine for roles where everyone is assigned one job and nobody
is assigned another job.

## About The Pull Request
When looking through the code I noticed the blackout drunk message in
the split_personality.dm file had a typo (liscense -> license) and bad
punctuation + I think the sentences were structured a bit weirdly so I
rearranged them. The meaning should be intact but it's grammatically
correct and reads easier.
## Why It's Good For The Game
spelling and grammar errors are bad and we should get rid of them
## Changelog
🆑
spellcheck: fixed spelling and punctuation in the blackout drunk split

## What's going on here
Kept you waitin huh!
This pr resprites most all walls, windows and other "wall adjacent"
things to a 3/4th perspective, technical term is "tall" walls (we are
very smart).
If you're trying to understand the technical details here, much of the
"rendering tech" is built off the idea of split-vis. Basically, split a
sprite up and render it on adjacent turfs, to prevent seeing "through"
walls/doors, and to support seeing "edges" without actually seeing the
atom itself.
Most of the rest of it is pipelining done to accommodate how icons are
cut.
## Path To Merge
Almost* all sprites and code is done at this point.
There are some things missing both on and off the bounty list, but that
will be the case forever unless we force upstream (you guys) to stop
adding new shit that doesn't fit the style.
I plan on accepting and integrating prs to the current working repo
<https://github.com/wall-nerds/wallening> up until a merge, to make
contribution simpler and allow things like bounties to close out more
easily
This pr is quite bulky, even stripping away map changes it's maybe 7000
LOC (We have a few maps that were modified with UpdatePaths, I am also
tentatively pring our test map, for future use.)
This may inhibit proper review, although that is part of why I am
willing to make it despite my perfectionism. Apologies in advance.
Due to the perspective shift, a lot of mapping work is going to need to
be done at some point. This comes in varying levels of priority. Many
wallmounts are offset by hand, some are stuck in the wall/basically
cannot be placed on the east/west/north edges of walls (posters), some
just don't look great good in their current position.
Tests are currently a minor bit yorked, I thought it was more important
to get this up then to clean them fully.
## What does it look like?

<summary>Historical Mumbojumbo</summary>
I am gonna do my best to document how this project came to be. I am
operating off third party info and half remembered details, so if I'm
wrong please yell at me.
This project started sometime in late 2020, as a product of Rohesie
trying to integrate and make easier work from Mojave Sun (A recently
defunct fallout server) with /tg/.
Mojave Sun (Apparently this was LITERALLY JUST infrared baron, that man
is insane) was working with tall walls, IE walls that are 48px tall
instead of the normal 32. This was I THINK done based off a technical
prototype from aao7 proving A it was possible and B it didn't look like
dogwater.
This alongside oranges begging the art team for 3/4th walls (he meant
TGMC style) lead to Rohesie bringing on contributors from general /tg/,
including actionninja who would eventually take over as technical lead
and Kryson, who would define /tg/'s version of the artstyle. Much of the
formative aspects of this project are their work.
The project was coming along pretty well for a few months, but ran into
serious technical issues with `SIDE_MAP`, a byond map_format that allows
for simpler 3/4th rendering.
Due to BULLSHIT I will not detail here, the map format caused issues
both at random with flickering and heavily with multiz.
Concurrent with this, action stepped down after hacking out the
rendering tech and starting work on an icon cutter that would allow for
simpler icon generation, leaving ninjanomnom to manage the project.
Some time passed, and the project stalled out due to the technical
issues. Eventually I built a test case for the issues we had with
`SIDE_MAP` and convinced lummox jr (byond's developer) to explain how
the fuckin thing actually worked. This understanding made the project
theoretically possible, but did not resolve the problems with multi-z.
Resolving those required a full rework of how rendering like, worked. I
(alongside tattle) took over project development from ninjanomnom at
this time, and started work on Plane Cube (#69115), which when finished
would finally make the project technically feasible.
The time between then and now has been slow, progressive work. Many many
artists and technical folks have dumped their time into this (as you can
see from the credits). I will get into this more below but I would like
to explicitly thank (in no particular order) tattle, draco, arcanemusic,
actionninja, imaginos, viro and kylerace for keeping the project alive
in this time period. I would have curled up into a ball and died if I
had to do this all myself, your help has been indispensable.

Thanks to (In no particular order):
Raccoff: Being funny to bully, creating threshold decals for airlocks
aa07: (I think) inspiring the project
ActionNinja: Laying the technical rock we build off, supporting me
despite byond trying to kill him, building the icon cutter that makes
this possible
ArcaneMusic: Artistic and technical work spanning from the project's
start to literally today, being a constant of motivation and positivity.
I can't list all the stuff he's done
Armhulen: Key rendering work (he's the reason thindows render right), an
upbeat personality and a kick in the ass. Love you arm
Azlan: Damn cool sprites, consistently
Ben10Omintrix: You know ben showed up just to make basic mobs work, he's
just fuckin like that man

years is his, constantly engaged and will take on anything. I would have
given up if not for you
Floyd: Early rendering work, so early I don't even know the details.
Enjoy freedom brother
Imaginos16: A guiding hand through the middle years, handled much of the
sprite review and contribution for a good bit there
Iamgoofball: A dedication to detail and aesthetic goals, spends a lot of
effort dissecting feedback with a focus on making things as good as they
can be at the jump

stuff in the MS style
Jacquerel: A bunch of little upkeep/technical things, has done so much
sprite gruntwork (WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PAINTING TYPES)
Justice12354: Solved a bunch of error sprites (and worked out how to
actually make prs to the project) Thanks bro!
Kryson: Built the artstyle of the project, carrying on for years even
when it was technically dying, only stopping to casually beat cancer. So
much of our style and art is Kryson
KylerAce: Handled annoying technical stuff for me, built window frame
logic and fully got rid of grilles.
LemonInTheDark: Rendering dirtywork, project management and just so much
fucking time in dreammaker editing sprites
Meyhazah: Table buttons, brass windows and alll the old style doors
Mothblocks: Has provided constant support, gave me a deadline and
motivation, erased worries about "it not being done", gave just SO much
money to fill in the critical holes in sprites. Thanks moth
MTandi: Contributed art despite his own blackjack and hookers club
opening right down the road, I'm sorry I rolled over some of your
sprites man I wish we had finished earlier
Ninjanomnomnom: Consulted on gags issues, kept things alive through some
truly shit times
oranges: This is his fault

even if we end up talking past each other sometimes. Thank you!
SpaceSmithers: Just like, random mapping support out of nowhere, and
bein a straight up cool dude
Tattle: A bunch of misc project management stuff, organizing the
discord, managing the test server, dealing with all the mapping bullshit
for me, being my backup in case of bus. I know you think you didn't do
much but your presence and work have been a great help
Thunder12345: Came out of nowhere and just so much of the random
bounties, I'm kind of upset about how much we paid him
Time-Green: I hooked him in by fucking with stuff he made and now he's
just doin shit, thanks for helping out man!

coder brain, believed in the project for YEARS, was a constant source of
❤️ and affirmation
unit0016: I have no god damn idea who she is, popped out of nowhere on
the github one day and dealt with a bunch of annoying
rendering/refactoring. Godspeed random furry thank you for all your
effort and issue reports
Viro: A bunch of detailed spriting moving towards 3/4ths, both on and
off the wallening fork. If anyone believed this project would be done,
it was viro
Wallem: Artistic review and consultation, was my go-to guy for a long
time when the other two spritetainers were inactive
Waltermeldon: Cracked out a bunch of rendering work, he's the reason
windows look like not dogwater. Alongside floyd and action spent a TON
of time speaking to lummox/unearthing how byond rendering worked trying
to make this thing happen
ZephyrTFA: Added directional airlock helpers, dealt with a big fuckin
bugaboo that was living in my brain like it was nothing. Love you
brother
And finally:
The Mojave Sun development team. They provided a testbed for the idea,
committed hundreds and hundreds of hours to the artstyle, and were a
large reason we caught issues early enough to meaningfully deal with
them. Your work is a testament to what longterm effort and deep detailed
care produce. I hope you're doing well whatever you're up to. Go out
with a bang!

## About The Pull Request
Fixes some typos.
Rewrote some weird sentences that didn't scan right or weren't clear.
Rewrites a lot of descriptions for the heretic paintings.
Rewrites the painting-related traumas, made them more medical themed and
vague. For example, the health scanner will no longer identify the ghost
haunting someone and ruining their mood, it will instead report that the
patient is hallucinating and depressed.
Painting knowledge description got minor rewrites.
The painting moodlets are rewritten to be a little more clear where
they're coming from.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Typo fixes mean players see less typos, which is self evidently good.
The rewrites were because I didn't feel like a lot of this stuff was
written to a high standard. It was riddled with typos, overly vague in a
lot of places, and defaulted to using all caps for horror value far too
often. It needed to be a little bit more direct and a little bit more
subtle. I've tried hard to keep the original tone and intent but
hopefully it's a little spookier now.
Codex description got expanded because the old description didn't
describe how the book looks which annoyed me a lil.
## About The Pull Request
Currently, stamina healing is a niche side effect on many drugs, besides
a few effects (mostly heretic powers, an obscure side effect of some
drinks) that actually contribute to a significant shift in gameplay
style when you use them. In this PR I significantly increased the
stamina recovery on almost every drug and some effects that provide it.
Points of interest (not completely inclusive):
Syndicate stimulants heal 12 instead of 5 stamina damage. This will
bring you out of stam crit in two cycles, and let you heal out of the
slowdown from the stamina damage from a baton strike. The current rate
of 5 takes 5 seconds to heal out of stam crit, and the stamina reset
takes place before you heal out of stamina damage slowdown.
Bath salts heal stamina at the rate stimulants used to. Meth heals
stamina slightly slower.
Changeling adrenaline will instantly bring you out of stam crit if
you're in it; otherwise, it will heal 10 stamina damage.
Ephedrine heals 4 stamina per life, instead of 1.
Being so drunk that you black out and give up your body to ghost control
will make you heal stamina more quickly than an ascended rust heretic.
You will also likely be dying of liver damage.
## Why It's Good For The Game
At the levels they are set, most of these stamina healing effects have
almost no effect on gameplay whatsoever except in the case of tanking a
couple of extra disabler shots (only in the case of the high end drugs),
or being able to do stamina consuming tasks slightly longer (breaking
boulders, grinding with pestle and mortar, working out, ???).
Adjusting these numbers would make these drugs an actual factor in
combat situations that rely on stamina crit (stun batons, ebows, stamina
damaging poisons and diseases). Most of the drugs already have side
effects such as brain and organ damage, which in the current state
hugely outweighs any reason to use most of them besides a few that give
a movespeed buff or prevent baton knockdown (ephedrine, stimulants).
This only affects stamina healing. There has been no change to any other
interactions with things that knock down or cause any other kind of
stun.
These changes are in consideration of the fact that taking stamina
damage puts you in a cooldown before you can recover your stamina
naturally. Effects that cause steady stamina damage will bottom out your
stamina the way they do now, unless you use something to heal it.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Stamina healing has been significantly increased for most
reagents and passive effects.

## About The Pull Request
So during a previous pr, attaching the imaginary friend to a host and
setting up its preferences were moved from initialization to two
separate procs. The _smite_ was then updated to account for this, but in
the process the brain trauma version was left behind- it even still
tried to add a nonexistent parameter when making a new imaginary friend.
We first fix this by having those two procs be called during
`add_friend(...)`, after finding and assigning a ghost.

/datum/brain_trauma/special/imaginary_friend/proc/add_friend(mob/dead/observer/ghost)
if(isnull(ghost))
qdel(src)
return
friend.key = ghost.key
friend.attach_to_owner(owner) //new

friend_initialized = TRUE
friend.log_message("became [key_name(owner)]'s split personality.", LOG_GAME)
message_admins("[ADMIN_LOOKUPFLW(friend)] became [ADMIN_LOOKUPFLW(owner)]'s split personality.")
```
This solves our first issue, where this not being called made every
brain trauma imaginary friend get banished to gay baby jail where they
do not have an appearance, cannot move from their spot, cannot be heard,
and emit runtimes constantly.
Testing this brings us to our second issue, where the host couldn't
actually hear their imaginary friend unless they were at most one tile
away, and would get their message starred if not on the exact same tile.
Looking into it, this seemed to be because `Hear(...)` now had a
`message_range = 0` parameter which we don't actually set here.
Upshot! This seems to let us gut the whisper starring code on our side
and just proxy the right message range to `Hear(...)`.
So we gut our code a bit and do just that, and this fixes it.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Fixes#81138.
Fixes imaginary friend brain trauma being non-functional and emitting
runtimes like hell.
Fixes imaginary friends not being audible to their host beyond a one
tile distance.

## About The Pull Request
This PR turns gondolas into basic mobs and does some fiddling with
gondola pods
Their verbs are now action buttons which they lose upon delivering. If
set to stay, they won't have their abilities afterwards (or wont get
them in the first place if the delivery is already done).
Lets them survive without a pod requirement in case admins want to spawn
one for their own stuff, so I also removed it from the snowflake checks
to exclude them from stuff.
Also replaced the hardcoded "cant speak" with simply giving the mute
trait, so admins can make gondolas speak if they want to for any reason.
## Why It's Good For The Game
The pet level of simple animals can finally be killed off, also gives
admins more control over gondola-related stuff if they so wish.
## Changelog

refactor: Gondolas (including gondola pods) are now basic mobs.

## About The Pull Request
`move_on_shuttle` was a variable that existed on `/mob` despite only
ever being used by cameras. This PR downgrades the variable to only
exist on `/mob/camera` types, but have the only thing that variable do
is add a trait that blocks movement on shuttles if not allowed. This
allows us to check the variable without casting to camera, which is what
some code was un-necessarily doing. This also retainst the ability to
add the trait later on to different mobs who we may not want to be on
shuttles that aren't `/mob/camera`.
## Why It's Good For The Game
There's no point for this variable to live on `/mob` if all it can do is
clog up the VV screen, especially if the current utilization for it is
only cameras. Let's move it off `/mob` and turn it into a trait so it
still has the similar utilization on a global level without typecasting
- as well as make it actually work since needless typecasting was
introducing a minor bug

## About The Pull Request
This PR moves random name generation for species onto their languages.
What does this mean?
- For species with a predefined name list, such as Lizards and Moths,
nothing.
- For species without predefined name lists, such as Felinids, their
names will now be randomly generated from their language's syllables.


(In the prefs menu:)

Why?
- Well, we actually had some dead code that did this. All I did was fix
it up and re-enable it.
- Generates some pretty believable in-universe names for various
languages that are lacking name lists. Obviously defined lists would be
preferred, but until they are added, at least.
- Moves some stuff off of species, which is always nice.
- Also hopefully makes it a tad easier to work with name generation.
There's now a standard framework for getting a random name for a mob,
and for getting a random name based on a species.
Misc:
- Adds a generic `species_prototype` global, uses it in a lot of places
in prefs code.
- Makes `GLOB.species_list` init via the global defines
- Deletes Language SS
- Alphabetizes some instances of admin tooling using the list of all
species IDs
- Docs language stuff
- Deletes random_skin_tone, it does pretty much nothin
## Changelog
🆑 Melbert
refactor: Random Name Generation has been refactored. Report any
instances of people having weird (or "Unknown") names.
qol: Felinids, Slimepeople, Podpeople, and some other species without
defined namelists now automatically generate names based on their

areas) than just lizard names.

we shouldn't expect maintainers to remember this, let me know if you

## About The Pull Request
- Adds "Primal Instincts" brain trama.
- Special trauma
- Randomly, your body will be taken over by monkey AI.
- You will still be in control of the body, but you will have to fight
against the monkey ai for actions.
- There is a probability the monkey AI that takes control is aggressive,
meaning it will attack anyone nearby.
- While primal, you can understand monkey language.
- Adds "Kleptomania" brain trauma
- Severe trauma
- When you have empty hands, you will passively try to pick up things
near you.
- There is no feedback message associated, so you may not even notice
you did this.
- This effect is temporarily disabled if you have taken damage recently.
- Adds "Possessive" brain trauma
- Mild trauma
- Randomly, your held items will become undroppable for a short to
medium length of time.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I was looking through AI stuff recently and remembered we support
allowing AI controllers to work in cliented mobs, but we don't use it
anywhere (outside of adminbus)
So I wanted to add a brain trauma themed around that. Simple enough.
But I didn't want to PR just a single trauma, that's boring so I thought
of some additional ones. Just to spice up the other two trauma pools. I
especially wanted to add some traumas that interact with inventory and
items, because while a lot of our traumas involving how a person
interacts with the world, not many involve how a person interacts with
themself.

## About The Pull Request
Changes a lot of text. Apart from grammar fixes, here are the notable
changes:
- Ash jaunt description just said it is a "short range jaunt" without
explaining what exactly a jaunt is. I believe it is better to describe
without comparing to another spell the player may not have experience
with.
- Cosmic grasp now explains what the deal is with star marks and cosmic
fields. It is still possible to crosspath into a star mark spell,
skipping this description, but I assume a player like that is
experienced enough to know what the star mark does anyway...
- The knowledge for ash spirits no longer refers to them as "Ash Men" -
"Ash Spirit" is the mob's actual name. If you think "Ash Man" is a
better name, I can change it around so that the mob gets renamed that
instead.
- Removes the lines from paradoxical curio's description about causing
brain damage on examination - many heretic items cause adverse effects
to heathens who try to interact with them, and there is never a need to
clutter the description with them.
- Changes the eldritch coin description, because the old one was, in my
opinion, awkward. I changed it to be more inline with the other items'
descriptions, and to not tell non-heretics what its purpose is. If you
liked the old one better, I can revert this change.
## Why It's Good For The Game

## About The Pull Request
Adds a new Trait Job (jobs which only appear when the station gets a
trait for it) - Veteran Advisor.
The weight of the trait is 2 which makes it very rare.
Veteran Security Advisor is a role designated as a (duh) Advisor for the
HoS and Captain, as well as a mentor for all of the Officers. This is
because it has an experience requirement of **100 SECURITY HOURS**, so
no green Veterans.
Veteran Security Advisors are paraplegic (bonded to a wheelchair) and
with PTSD which freezes their mood and sometimes causes hallucinations.
They get an M1911 pistol in a holster because that's badass.

## Why It's Good For The Game
More funny Trait Jobs to the game!
There is a certain lack of those, there is only Cargorilla and Bridge
Assistant.
This job has big opportunities. Advisors can behave themselves like
drill sergeants, or wise old mentors. Because they are kinda, as people
only with 100 Security hours (yes those masochists exist) could play it
when it appears. This will also open opportunities for retired Sec mains
to tutor new generations without being directly involved in all of the
stress.
I mostly took a look at the Goonstation "Nanotrasen Security Consultant"
and Baystation "Senior Enlisted Advisor" as inspiration.
I tried to cut down any chances of this role being abused by power
gamers for its M1911 pistol and Bridge access, due to this they are
paraplegic so power gamers get disgusted, and if someone does somehow
win Antagonists while in a wheelchair - props to them, pure skill.
**REMEMBER THAT THIS IS A TRAIT JOB!** This means they won't appear
every round, but rather rarely! So they fit in as an occasional extra
fun for the round.

- Kicks Martial Arts out of the attack chain.
- All Martial Arts attacks are now handled via unarmed attack or grab

- All martial arts block checking is now handled by the arts themselves,
meaning you can selectively decide for a martial arts strike to not be
blocked. Maybe good for the future.

names, code, adding some missing animation calls, etc.

## About The Pull Request
Partial Revert of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/80800
Assuming every num passed in the parameters of `add_mood_effect` is a
`timeout_mod` is incorrect, because there can be mood events that take a
numeric arg which is not meant to be multiplied against the timeout.
This leads to the same issue as multiplying it with strings essentially
(in one case, shown below, this results in a negative duration of a
timer).


Plus having a keyword arg that may or may not actually be what the
keyword arg claims to be is really confusing and bad.
Instead here's what I propose: passing in an instantiated mood datum
itself, which has been modified, and copying the timeout from it before
discarding it.
It is not as clean as I'd prefer either, but at least it's logically
sound and the intent is clear, and it's the best I can think of short of
a major refactor of the entire system for this one small thing which is
only being used by food quality.

## Why It's Good For The Game
Clearer, less smelly code.
## Changelog
🆑
code: removed the timeout_mod arg from add_mood_event, which was only
used for one thing and causes more issues than it's worth
/🆑
## About The Pull Request
In a previous PR (https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/79661), I
noted that a lot of moodlets tended to have their timeouts break because
it was passing their names and whatnot as a parameter, that gets fed
into the timeout modifier parameter, causing the timeout multiplier to
break, because BYOND type-agnosticism means that it can multiply a
number (timeout_mod) by text (a name or some other object), resulting in
0 - which makes a moodlet permanent. This is probably not intended.
This fixes that in two ways:
- Adding a `1` to potentially applicable moodlets (searched for with a
regex of `.add_mood_event(.*, .*,)`) just to make sure the timeout
doesn't get multiplied out weirdly.
- Making the add_mood_event thing CRASH() if the timeout_mod is bad.
If someone else wants to come up with a solution better than this,
please do.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Maybe having your arm permanently fall asleep after getting it
reattached sucks, moodlet-wise. (Being stuck with permanent
positive/negative moodlets is probably not intended.)
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Moodlets with parameters/effects e.g. limb reattachment moodlets
should probably disappear more appropriately.

## About The Pull Request
This pull request adds a new path.
The cross path is between ash and lock.
Credit to Fury McFlurry for the following sprites:
ring_leader_effect
The path goes as follows:
Moonlight Troupe
Grasp of Lunacy
Smile of the moon
> Sidepaths:
Mind Gate
Ashen Eyes
Mark of Moon
Ritual of Knowledge
Lunar Parade
Moonlight Amulette
> Sidepaths:
Curse of Paralasys
Unfathomable Curio
Unsealed Arts
Moonlight blade
Ringleaders Rise
> Sidepaths:
Ashen Ritual
Last Act
Moonlight Troupe:
The first knowledge of path of moon, lets you make Lunar Blades with 2
iron and a knife
Grasp of Lunacy:
The grasp of this path hides your name for 15 seconds after use, but
more importantly it causes the person hit with the grasp
to hallucinate everyone as indistinct human like figures.
Smile of the Moon:
A pointed spell that causes temporary blinding, muting, deafening and
confusing on the person its targeted at, these effects
last longer the less sanity your victim has.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/db7cfaaa-8fe2-4f20-aa78-c17c17be4d63
Mindgate:
Lock-Moon. This spell causes you and your victim brain damage, the
victim also suffers a short amount of hallucinations
and also 20 oxyloss.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/11d15acd-11d0-4e7d-a180-6481b18e9fd9
Mark of Moon:
When applied this paths mark pacifies the victim and they remain
pacifist until attacked or until the mark is detonated, when
detonated the victim is left confused.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/41e601b5-76d4-4765-8b49-ada7de09feb7
Lunar Parade:
A spell that sends out a projectile that causes people hit by it to
follow the projectile whilst being unable to move. The
projectile also bounces around and is really useful to get people off
your back during chases.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/cddc8390-e8aa-4d68-b1a5-ab181e941a9b
Unfathomable Curio:
Transmute 3 rods, a brain and a belt into an Unfathomable Curio a belt
that can hold blades and items for rituals. Whilst worn
will also veil the heretic, allowing them to take 1 hit without
suffering damage, this veil will recharge quickly outside of
combat. If examined the examiner suffers brain damage and temporary
brain damage, and if a non-heretic uses it once the shield is damaged
the non-heretic user suffers massive brain damage and a permanent
uncurbable brain trauma. Lock-moon
Unsealed Arts:
Allows you to transmute a canvas and an additional item to create a
piece of art, these paintings have different effects depending on the
additional item added. Lock-moon
Possible paintings:
The sister and He Who Wept:
Additional atoms: Eyes.
When a non-heretic looks at the painting they will begin to hallucinate
everyone as heretics.
The First Desire:
Additional atoms: Any bodypart.
Increases the hunger of non-heretics, when examined drops an organ or
body part at the painting.
Great chaparral over rolling hills:
Additional atoms: Any grown food.
Spreads kudzu when placed, when examined grants a flower to the heretic.
Lady out of gates:
Additional atoms: Gloves.
Causes non-heretics to scratch themselves until they remove their
jumpsuit, when examined removes all your mutations.
Climb over the rusted mountain:
Additional atoms: Trash.
Causes non-heretics to rust the floor they walk on and when examined
gives you a cool moodlet
These effects are mitigated for a few minutes when a non-heretic
suffering an effect examines the painting that caused the
effect. Except for great chapparal which spawns kudzu at their feet, and
Lady out of gates which gives them a random negative mutation.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/1d1bdd2f-cda5-4430-b3af-4742f98a59a8https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/4e843ae4-9786-4e9b-8681-582713f4c789
Moonlight Amulette:
Allows the heretic to transmute 2 sheets of glass, a pair of eyes, a
brain and a tie. If the amulette is used on someone with low
sanity they go berserk attacking everyone if their sanity isnt low
enough it decreases their mood. Optionally you can add a
poppy in the ritual to further decrease their mood on hit.
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/ab820b3f-e7e6-407a-9a1a-93d49c0d7387
Moonlight Blade:
Causes the heretics blades to do brain and sanity damage whilst causing
hallucinations. The blades also cause giggling and
laughter on hit.
Ringleaders Rise:
An AoE spell that deals more brain damage the lower the sanity of the
victim, also causes hallucinations that last longer the
lower the sanity of the victim. If the victims sanity is low enoughit
causes them to go insane, the spell then halves their sanity.
This spell is on a longer cooldown and is more meant to be used as a
payoff or an instigator for a fight. The AoE area is 7 tiles
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/120136161/4de85ba2-448a-485c-b739-77fcce86c0cb
Last Act:
The ascension lowers the cooldown of all the heretics spells by 33% and
increases the AoE range of Ringleaders Rise. The main
effect of this ascension is a passive sanity drain and hallucination
aura, if you have low sanity in the aura you will start to suffer
brain damage and if you reach the bottom you gain an aura of
hallucinations thus spreading the moon heretics influence
further. Not only that but roughly 1/5th of the crew will rise in
support of you becoming mini-heretics called acolytes that will attempt
to obey your commands!
I had videos showing off everything but they were too big for github
sadly so I will have to think of some other way to showcase all this
stuff.
This pr also adds a new optional atoms system which means that you can
have rituals that can be improved by adding additional atoms, like for
example moonlight amulette.
Feel free to give some suggestions for further ascension effects.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I feel like heretic is really missing a playstyle around insanity and
this slots neatly in to feel that gap. For being an eldritch antag of
horrors there is surprisingly little interaction with the sanity system
and I feel like this makes up for it, heretic is also missing some
distractions which is where the paintings can really shine and the
hallucinations which breed paranoia.
## Changelog

## 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
those with click interaction.
del: Ghost alerts no longer show the entire message in the tooltip,
instead have been replaced with titles.

## 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.
Fixes#79138, #79163
## Changelog
🆑
qol: improves blackout drunk character gameplay
fix: fixed improper prob() placement that caused blackout character to
be forced sleep

## 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
## Changelog
🆑
add: Adds a subtle ghost poll. This pings in dead chat and gives a
screen alert, but no TGUI popup. Orbit the point of interest to be
selected for the role.
refactor: A number of ghost spawns now feature this alert. Write an
issue report if anything breaks.

You drink too much you lose your memory, but we cant really do that so
instead a ghost will take control of your body temporary. The drunk
character will then be given objective to do wild, wacky and otherwise
unusual stuff until the original returns to backtrack what transpired.
The blackout character will not be able to kill or hurt the body. Oh and
the duration is about 10 minutes

## About The Pull Request
Having seven trillion boolean arguments isn't kino nor poggerchampion,
let's adjust it so we use a define flag-based system that works really
nice. I also cleaned up a lot of jank and stuff that simply just never
was meant to work.
We also had sprites for nanite vomit, but this was completely unused!
Since we still have an interaction where you're meant to throw up
nanites, I added that it so it could be leveraged. Neato.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Much easier to pass in the right args or special args to a high-profile
proc.

## About The Pull Request
Renames m_intent to move_intent and moves it to the living level
renames tod to station_timestamp_timeofdeath
removes stun_absorption and see_override as one was unused and the other
was never actually implemented
## Why It's Good For The Game
Many vars on the mob and living level were intended to be on the living
and carbon level, but weren't for one reason or another. Generally it
was out of laziness to ensure the mobs being checked for these vars were
the intended mobs, and there's some todo comments on how they want it
changed in the future, though it never happened.
I'm hoping to get these all down in the future, I originally wanted to
move ``stat`` from mob to living but it had hundreds of errors so I
didn't want to do it all here.
## Changelog
Nothing player-facing.
## About The Pull Request
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.
## Changelog
🆑
add: Sacrificed heretic targets will now receive a phobia of heresy
instead of a phobia of the supernatural. Sacrificed heretics will not
get this phobia, but will lose knowledge points instead.
