Repaths everything referring to "toxins" while actually meaning either the room in science or plasma gas. While this PR might be disrespectful to our forefathers, given this is (I believe) a holdover from as far back as the Exadv1 days, this has constantly irked me since I started working with the code. None of the player-facing stuff has referred to plasma as toxin since before 4407 hit, besides the Toxins Lab, and yet all of the type-paths are still pointing at toxins, making it a nightmare to search for in a map editor, and making the code needlessly easy to confuse with that of toxin damage. So this just fires it into the sun.
Anything relating to Toxins, the science subdepartment, now makes reference to Ordnance instead. This felt fitting enough given the focus of the subdepartment is around the creation of and testing of explosives.
Anything relating to plasma gas has, fittingly, been made to refer to plasma gas.
Edit: Ah yes, I feel I should probably apologise off the bat for the size of this PR- the code touched is mostly atmos machinery and simplemobs, a few sprites here and there, and of course the station maps + a few offstation maps.
Makes the code more legible and makes mapping less painful.

Converts most spans into span procs. Mostly used regex for this and sorted out any compile time errors afterwards so there could be some bugs.
Was initially going to do defines, but ninja said to make it into a proc, and if there's any overhead, they can easily be changed to defines.
Makes it easier to control the formatting and prevents typos when creating spans as it'll runtime if you misspell instead of silently failing.
Reduces the code you need to write when writing spans, as you don't need to close the span as that's automatically handled by the proc.
(Note from Lemon: This should be converted to defines once we update the minimum version to 514. Didn't do it now because byond pain and such)
The aims of this commit are threefold:
- To introduce lizard culture (based upon Common Core) in a tangible way.
- Give some more variety of techniques and recipes to the chef and bartender.
- To give some flavour (metaphorically and literally).

Sourced from #59118 and a cursed project I'll pr later, This pr contains a lot of harddel fixes for stuff that pops up after a player interacts with something. I'm not gonna list them all here because there's something like 60 130, check the commit log if you're curious
Oh and I moved ref tracking screaming to a separate define, and made some optimizations to the thing in general. I think that's it, this pr is a bit of a frankenstine
Yes this is blatant bait to get more things converted.
While working on this I fixed item greyscale updates to include their held and worn states, the vending machine ui is now tsx instead of js, icons generated by gags are created with an error state by default, the greyscale color menu defaults to not show you the full debug preview, and the wording in the debug menu is a bit more in-character friendly.
Changelog

add: Greyscale items using GAGS in vending machines can have their colors chosen before vending. Not many things are capable of this yet but expect more to come.
/cl
This PR fixes issues with the chameleon jumpsuit and sneakers. In addition to that, it properly defines setting for GAGS worn and inhand icons instead of having them be in Initialize() for specific item types. Names for the prisoner jumpsuits and wheelys have also been reverted to how they were before the GAGS PR.

The emissives system is the system that both lets computer screens and vendors glow in the dark and lets mobs and items block those glows. The current implementation relies on using filters to let mobs and items mask out the glow in the dark overlays on some structures. This is difficult to extend properly without massively increasing maptick. This PR changes the emissives system to use BYONDs native image layering to mask emissive overlays. This should prove to be a more extensible option.
tldr; There exists a system that lets computer screens glow on the dark and lets mobs and items block the glow. It isn't very extensible and this PR attempts to make it more extensible.
How emissive overlays used to work
Currently emissive overlays and the emissive blockers that mask those overlays are handled using a system of inter-masking planes. The emissive overlays and the emissive blockers are placed on separate, hidden plane masters. These are essentially rendering layers and groups. The emissive blocker plane is then used to mask the emissive overlay plane which effectively allows the emissive blockers to block the emissive overlays from being seen. After is has been masked the emissive overlay plane is used to mask the lighting plane, essentially creating holes in the shadows wherever an unblocked glowing thing exists.
Why this is a potential problem
This system works fine. In fact it works great! The computer screens glow, any person or item that winds up on a computer blocks the glow, and everything just works. However, this system runs into some issues when you try to extend it to work on things other than structures. Namely, the current system only supports emissive overlays on structures and emissive overlays that are completely unblockable by any means. As a result, several interesting uses to the system require extending the system.
As a result, if you want to apply emissive overlays to items (which exist between structures and mobs) or emissive overlays to turfs (which exist below structures) you must extend the emissives system to get the emissive overlays and emissive blockers to properly function. Doing this naively, by adding extra emissive overlay and emissive blocker planes and applying all of the relevant masking filters, is not exactly performant.
Maptick is a major contributor to lag and the higher the maptick the more free lag you, the player, get delivered fresh to your client. Trying the naive method resulted in #55782 (1f1b58bb26), an attempt to add glowing carpet to the game. Since the PR revolved around adding glowing carpet it had to extend the emissives system to allow for emissive turfs and emissive blocking structures. Extending the system was done naively as described above and you can see the results. 1.5 times the maptick across the board. Ouch.
So, we know that extending the system in it's current form is impractical. At least if done naively. Thus we are stuck.
tldr; The emissive system currently uses inter-plane masking to allow for emissive blockers to function. This is difficult to reasonably extend without murdering maptick. See #56496 (1f1b58bb26) for the results of naively extending this system.
How emissive overlays are going to work
Alright, so we know that the current system of using planes to let the emissive blockers mask the emissive overlays is difficult to extend in it's current form. The solution is to change how the system works so that it can be extended in a more efficient manner. What we want is a system that allows one set of images to be out masked by another set of images and for the first set of images to be capable of masking the light plane. Preferably, we would also like the ability to interleave the masking effect between emissives and emissive blockers with almost arbitrary layering.
Conveniently, this layering and masking is something BYOND already does to normal items and objects. If we put the emissive overlays and the emissive blockers on the same plane we can use their layers to interleave them almost arbitrarily like any normal structures and items! All we need is a way to mask away the emissive blockers from the resulting rendered plane and we can mask the lighting plane with the remaining emissive overlays.
Luckily, BYOND has provided a single filter that is capable of this task. The color matrix filter. This filter can be used to apply a color matrix to an image! Provided that the emissive overlays and the emissive blockers are different colors we can use a color matrix filter to effectively mask out the emissive blockers from the plane! The resulting emissive plane can be applied as an alpha mask to the lighting plane as it used to, to the same effect. The best part is, we get layering practically for free!
This is exactly what this PR does. It converts the emissives system from the old plane and masking based blocking to a new layer-based system which uses BYONDs native layer handling to mask the emissive overlays.
## About The Pull Request
Changes up some layer and plane defines for no particular reason lol
## Why It's Good For The Game
Planes actually override layers, and layers control ordering within planes. A lot of the usage of plane and layer was wholly unnecessary. This refactor helps future maintainability while also being needed staging for _future features._
NanoTrasen has now graciously created new outfits for their esteemed members of Central Command! These include new turtlenecks, a fancy coat, a new cap, and a skirt edition of the current Official jumpsuit.
Creates update_name and update_desc
Creates the wrapper proc update_appearance to batch update_name, update_desc, and update_icon together
Less non-icon handling code in update_icon and friends
Signal hooks for things that want to change names and descriptions
99%+ of the changes in this are just from switching everything over to update_appearance from update_icon
* Gives the sniper rifle a suppressor overlay so that it no longer shows up as missing a sprite, also fixes donksoft pistols by repathing them from pistols over repathing them from toy saber smgs. Creates a flag for checking if a gun needs a toy overlay, so it is handled in the parent.
Done using this command sed -Ei 's/(\s*\S+)\s*\t+/\1 /g' code/**/*.dm
We have countless examples in the codebase with this style gone wrong, and defines and such being on hideously different levels of indentation. Fixing this to keep the alignment involves tainting the blames of code your PR doesn't need to be touching at all. And ultimately, it's hideous.
There are some files that this sed makes uglier. I can fix these when they are pointed out, but I believe this is ultimately for the greater good of readability. I'm more concerned with if any strings relied on this.

Brings a heavily improved, rewritten, and optimised fermichem to tg. I saw that tg seemed receptive to it, so I thought I’d do it myself. If you know of fermichem – there’s a lot changed and improved, so looking at other documents regarding it will not be accurate.
Revamps the main chemistry reaction handler to allow for over time reactions instead of instant reactions. This revamp allows for simultaneous reactions, exo/endothermic reactions and pH consuming/producing behaviours. Most of the reactions in game will now inherit an easy one size fits all reaction.
Temperature mechanics
Temperature affects reaction rate
The higher it is, the faster it is, but be careful, as chem reactions will perform special functions when overheated (presently it DOESN’T explode)
Temperature will increase or decrease depending on the exo/endothermic nature of the reaction
pH mechanics
Each reaction requires the pH of a beaker to be within a certain range.
If you are outside of the optimal, you'll incur impurity, which has a negative effect on the resultant chem
pH of a beaker will change during a reaction
Reacting Impure chem effects can vary from chem to chem, but for default will reduce the purity of other reagents in the beaker
Consuming an impure chem will either cause liver or tox damage dependant on how impure it is as well as reducing consumed volume
Purity can (presently) only be seen with a chemical analyser
Impure chems can purposely be made by making the reagent with a low, but not explosive, purity.
A chem made under the PurityMin will convert into the reagent’s failed chem in the beaker.
Optional catalysts
Reactions can use an optional catalyst to influence the reaction - at the more framework exists from tmeprature, reaction rate and pH changes as a result of a catalyst. Catalysts can be set to only work on a specific reagent subtype. It is preferable to those building upon this code that optional catalysts only affect a subsection of reagents.
Presently the only catalyst that uses this is Palladium synthate catalyst - a catalyst that increases the reaction speed of medicines.
Reaction agents
These are reagents that will consume themselves when added to a beaker - even a full one, and apply effects to the total solution. One example being Tempomyocin which will speed up a reaction, or the buffer reagents which change the pH.
Competitive reactions
These reactions will go towards a certain product depending on the conditions of the holder. The example one given is a little tricky and requires a lot of temperature to push it towards one end.
New and charged reactions
(see the wiki for details)
Acidic /basic buffer - These reagents will adjust the pH of a beaker/solution when added to one. If the beaker is empty it will fill it instead.
Tempomyocin - This will instantly speed up any reaction added it is added to, giving it a short burst of speed. Adding this reagent to a reaction will give it a suddent speed boost up to 3x times - with the output purity of the boost modified by the Tempomyocin's purity.5u per 100u will give you 2x, 10 u per 100u will give you 3x. IIt caps at 3x for a single addition, but there is nothing preventing you from adding multiple doses for multiple boosts.
Purit tester - this will fizzle if the solution it is added to has an inverse purity reagent present.
A few other reactions have been tweaked to make sure they work too. An example being meth - see the wikipage linked above.
A note on all reactions
The one size fits all reaction for all chems generally won’t create impure chems – it is very forgiving. The only thing to remember is to avoid heating reactions over 900 or you’ll reduce your yield, and try to keep your pH between 5 -9.
This PR doesn’t have specific example chems included (except for the buffers) – they will be atomised out and they use the mechanics in more depth
A note on plumbing
I reached out to Time Green and we worked together to make sure plumbing was fine. Time Green did some of his own tests too, and surprisingly it doesn't look like much needs to be changed.
About The Pull Request
This PR removes intents and replaces them with a combat mode. An explanation of what this means can be found below
Major changes:
Disarm and Grab intents have been removed.
Harm/Help is now combat mode, toggled by F or 4 by default
The context/verb/popup menu now only works when you do shift+right-click
Right click is now disarm, both in and out of combat mode.
Grabbing is now on ctrl-click.
If you're in combat mode, and are currently grabbing/pulling someone, and ctrl-click somewhere else, it will not release the grab (To prevent misclicks)
Minor interaction changes:
Right click to dissasemble tables, racks, filing cabinets (When holding the right tool to do so)
Left click to stunbaton, right click to harmbaton
Right click to tip cows
Right click to malpractice surgery
Right click to hold people at gunpoint (if youre holding a gun)
Why It's Good For The Game
Intents heavily cripple both the code and the UI design of interactions. While I understand that a lot of people will dislike this PR as they are used to intents, they are one of our weakest links in terms of explaining to players how to do specific things, and require a lot more keypresses to do compared to this.
As an example, martial arts can now be done without having to juggle 1 2 3 and 4 to switch intents quickly.
As some of you who saw the first combat mode PR, the context menu used to be disabled in combat mode. In this version it is instead on shift-right click ensuring that you can always use it in the same way.
In this version, combat mode also no longer prevents you from attacking with items when you would so before, as this was something that was commonly complained about.
The full intention of this shift in control scheme is that right click will become "secondary interaction" for items, which prevents some of the awkward juggling we have now with item modes etcetera.
