## Why It's Good For The Game
Conciseness, code that is named after a removed feature is silly.
<!-- Argue for the merits of your changes and how they benefit the game,
especially if they are controversial and/or far reaching. If you can't
actually explain WHY what you are doing will improve the game, then it

## About The Pull Request
I deleted the documentation file of ModPCs because it was barebones and
had no new information to give that autodoc couldn't. Just to make sure
this isn't a net-negative, I improved on much of the autodoc and
comments in general around ModPC code to help people understand easier
what's going on around it.
I also renamed vars that were too easily confused with other var names,
and reworked the ntnet downloader a little;
- it now has a search bar
- it now has more sections to scroll through, hopefully making it more
accurate and easy to find what you need.
- also organized the apps that were previously shoved in 'other'.
- i also upgraded it to a .tsx because why not

## About The Pull Request
I made this to help me move more towards my goals [laid out
here](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA) which currently doesn't
have much interest.
This makes the Destructive Analyzer use a little neat TGUI menu instead
of its old HTML one. I also touch a lot of science stuff and a little
experimentor stuff, so let me explain a bit:
Old iterations of Science had different items that you can use to boost
nodes through deconstruction. This has been removed, and its only
feature is the auto-unlocking of nodes (that is; making them visible to
the R&D console). I thought that instead of keeping this deprecated code
around, I would rework it a little to make it clear what we actually use
it for (unhiding nodes).
All vars and procs that mentioned this have been renamed or reworked to
make more sense now.
Experimentor stuff shares a lot with the destructive analyzer, so I had
to mess with that a bit to keep its decayed corpse of deprecated code,
functional.
I also added context tips to the destructive analyzer, and added the
ability to AltClick to remove the inserted item. Removing items now also
plays a little sound because it was kinda lame.
Also, balloon alerts.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Moves a shitty machine to TGUI so it is slightly less shitty, now it's
more direct and compact with more player-feedback.
Helps me with a personal project and yea
### Video demonstration
I show off connecting the machine to R&D Servers, but I haven't changed
the behavior of that and the roundstart analyzers are connected to
servers by default.

## About The Pull Request
Currently, every time you open/close a program, that activity is logged
for the RD to see. This includes Nukies opening their disk tracking app.
Now, emagged PDAs will no longer log activities to Wirecarp, but I did
replace it with a log when the PDA is first emagged.
Basically, nukies are undetected, but Traitors can still be figured out.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/77201
I thought this would be better as it makes more sense to stop logging
when you're emagged, but as you are being emagged it will report the
modification instead.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: PDAs now log that they've been emagged, but will no longer log any
further programs they open beyond that. This means Nukies don't sell
themselves out by opening their disk tracking app.

## About The Pull Request
Mafia should now start without the need of admin intervention.
I made a unit test that should always have a PDA and a ghost spawning in
a game of Mafia and having it run through basic setup to confirm they
both successfully sign up and the game starts.
I had to change a lot of things in order to get this working, such as
giving unique ckeys to mock clients, fixing harddels in Mafia, and
plenty of minor fixes. This is the first time any of this code is put in
CI, so a lot of uncaught errors are now showing their faces.
Because loading maps mid-round runtimes due to smoothing, I have mafia
their own unit test-only map that doesn't use smoothing.
I also split the mafia ui code into its own file, and moved a single
helper that was sitting around in mafia's file into a helpers file.
I also added some comments to explain why certain things are the way
they are, because I wrote some undocumented code previously and forgot a
few things, leading to self-inflicted wasted time.

## About The Pull Request
Fixes#68825Fixes#72249Fixes#70184
Converts maintenance drones to use the basic mob framework. As drones
don't use AI, this was mostly a perfunctory conversion, but I took the
opportunity to clean up drone code a bit and fixed a few bugs.
Noteworthy changes:
- Drones now have a `can_unhack` field. This is set to FALSE on
syndrones, because unhacking them doesn't make them stop being evil but
does cause some weirdness. Syndrones are unused right now, but you never
know.
- Drones use the Dextrous component for hand-having.
- Drones no longer have an internal ID card, instead being given
all-access with the `simple_access` component.
- Picking up drones now works the same as for other mobs, instead of
pointlessly copying the code into `attack_hand`. As a consequence, it is
now possible to punch drones if you want to for some reason.
- Drones can now reboot/cannibalize dead drones without being in combat
mode.
- Cannibalizing a drone that contains a client no longer runtimes - the
client is ghosted ahead of time.
- Drones now have TRAIT_ADVANCEDTOOLUSER, allowing them to properly
interact with machines.
- Trying to screwdriver a dead drone now gives a balloon alert about why
you can't do that.
In addition to these changes, I cleaned up the code quite a bit,
organizing things better and placing more useful comments throughout.
And removing a hell of a lot of single-letter variable names.
I will note that this PR does _not_ address #72129. The issue there is
that sprites for drones-as-hats are entirely nonexistent, and I'm not a
spriter. It shouldn't be too hard to fix if someone makes dronehat
sprites, though!
## Why It's Good For The Game
Kills 8 more simple animals.
In addition to that, drones were clearly a bit neglected, so this fixes
them up a bit and makes the code a little bit clearer. Maybe not that
much clearer, but it's something. It certainly leaves them in a better
place for further work if anyone wants to do that. Plus, a bunch of bugs
and other jankiness are fixed now, which is nice.
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: Maintenance Drones now use the basic mob framework. This
shouldn't come with any noticeable gameplay changes, but please report
any bugs.
fix: Drones can now interact normally with electrified doors.
fix: Drones' built-in tools can no longer be placed in storage objects
and/or thrown on the floor.
fix: Drones can now perform right-click interactions correctly, such as
deconstructing reinforced windows.
fix: Drones can now reboot or cannibalize other drones without being in
combat mode.

## About The Pull Request
See title.
If someone was abusing signalers previously to cause server lag, going
into list signalers would actually cause even worse lag as byond sat
there and processed thousands of items into a string over and over,
which would cause string format operations on longer and longer strings,
resulting in more and more overhead. This is bad.
So instead there is now a limit to the size of the list, currently I
have that set to 500 although I am open to increasing and even reducing
the number.
I have also made signalers slightly more intuitive by having the
cooldown actually displayed in the ui as a tooltip instead of just being
a secret feature you didnt know about unless you code dived. Also made
the cooldown actually respected by things such as circuitry where it
didnt even implement the cooldown and would happily send as many signals
as you had items connected to your proximity circuit.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Admins won't accidentally kill the server by trying to parse a lag
machines signal list. Players lagging the server? No, how about the
admins trying to fix it!

## 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
I would like camera sorting to be handled without having to constantly
get the entire list of cameras and sorting itself, but this occasion it
isn't even necessary, and was only added because I wanted to keep it
consistent with old behavior. This wasn't the best idea, and this is
trying to make amends with that.
Instead of getting the entire list of cameras when swapping cameras, it
instead gets that specific camera from the list and sets your active
camera to that. To do so, camera consoles now have a ref to the camera,
rather than going by name alone.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Explained in the about section mostly, we're no longer checking through
and sorting the entire list of cameras every single time you swap from
one camera to another.

## About The Pull Request
So one aspect of PDAs that I quite liked previously was managing and
upgrading your power.
This was lost when all cell parts got removed, mostly, and now I'd like
to re-add it.
PDAs and Tablets now use more power each second it's on
Programs being active/idle now take charge too.
And all this now takes ``seconds_per_tick`` into account.
Screenshots of APC use before and after having 6 programs open at once


PDA default power cells have a max charge of 1000, each cell use is
around ``1.00970340315`` power, which is ``1.01013789399`` w/ 2 programs
in idle and 1 active program (which is what PDAs are capable of). This
means it takes about 990 ticks to fully drain your power, or about 50
minutes, at max use.
This is completely blasted away the moment you put anything beyond a t1
cell inside of it, which is unfortunate but what can you do about tiered
parts being so poor.
The problem of no public PDA chargers are alleviated by
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/78600
### Update
The PDA flashlight being on now also drains the battery 25% times
faster. PDA running out of charge now also turns the flashlight off.
## Why It's Good For The Game
You may or may not have to actually charge your PDA once in a round now,
maybe. I liked this part of tablets and would like to see it brought
back, managing your power to use your apps is important to ensure you're
not just using all apps 24/7
Because this also adds the functionality to add/remove power cells
again, it opens up to some minor little pranks/messing with people that
isn't completely destroying their tools, as well as some minor
upgradeability.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: You can now remove and replace power cells from PDAs (with
screwdriver).
balance: PDAs now drain their power cells harder, and also take into
account active programs & their flashlight being on.

## About The Pull Request
This PR does many things and I expect to be asked to atomize some stuff.
### Oldstation Additions
Oldstation now has their own research server, generating their own
points. To help alleviate major concerns, they have a few stuff to help
with this:
- They now have a pre-built operating computer
- They now have an Autopsy scanner
- They now have access to Experimental Dissection
Experimental Dissection is the old dissection, giving research points in
the form of paper notes on completion. They must be turned in to the RND
server (only works on the Oldstation one, so you can't abuse this) for
points. This was an idea I've had for some time, as Oldstation is used
somewhat as a representation of how ss13 used to be (through its use of
directional windows (before they got removed, but I'd like to bring them
back), old IDs, RTGs, and old engines before they got removed from the
game fully)
Considering there are 11 alien mobs in Oldstation, there is 27.5k
research points to get from alien corpses, enough to bring them up to
speed with whatever they wish to do. This is their 'alternative' for
experiments (which they can still do if they want, but it is very hard
to do, outside of dissection which is needed for the node).
This surgery isn't repeatable, isn't upgradable, and isn't removed by
being healed. It is not mutually exclusive with autopsy (so you can't
ruin yourself doing the wrong surgery).
### Other stuff
- Ninjas now drain RND points from the server they drain from, rather
than always hitting science
- Syncing machines to research roundstart is now a macro, and now
immediately syncs to a server on your Z-level. Machines will
automatically connect to the Science servers if none else are available.
### non-player facing
- Science, Admin, and Oldstation techwebs are now no longer vars on
research, but stored in research's list of techwebs.
- ``get_available_servers`` and ``find_valid_servers`` are now procs on
the research subsystem, rather than the experisci component.
- Oldstation code has been split into separate files.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Oldstation is one of my favorite ruins, but it is also one of the
largest complaints for RND (along with Golems) because they use the
station's Science nodes & points (I recently tried de-hardcoding Science
stuff to help prepare for this, but I didn't get everything in advance).
The complaint stems from these ghost roles, who are meant to be a fun
activity to do while waiting for the next round, using the station's
research points for their own stuff, completely untrackable unless
someone goes out of their way to grief a ghost spawn just for using
points to get things they need. These roles make their own servers to
drain the station, and I find that unfun and quite boring for everyone-
it's also not very flavorful, why would Charliestation know of the
station's RND to take advantage of it?
This hopes to fix those issues, make Charliestation more worthwhile, and
more flavorful.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Getting a node researched now properly makes it no longer hidden.
fix: Ninjas draining RD servers now drains it from the connected
techweb, rather than sniping Science.
balance: Machines will first try to connect to a techweb with servers on
their z-level, with the Science techweb remaining as fallback.
add: Oldstation RND, comes with their own Techweb and special surgery to
gain research points through dissecting Xenomorphs.

## About The Pull Request
This PR lets pAIs inserted into a PDA to control the PDA of their owner.
They can see their own pAI configurations but cannot edit any of it.
They also can't eject themselves from it.
This means they can receive and send PDA messages as their owner, acting
like a personal secretary
This also adds support for multiple people using a PDA and its UI
updating for all of them and PDA messages being received and responded
to from multiple people under the same PDA
It also removes pAI camera in favor of using siliconcamera, which is the
same thing; this just cuts down on some copy paste.
I also reverted PDA's ringer being off preventing messages from being
sent to your chat, silent mode was meant to prevent only the ringing
sound.
## Why It's Good For The Game
pAIs can now do a little bit more to help their owners on a personal
level, and adds support for more stuff like this in the future (an idea
I had was being able to hack into PDAs in the same way the CE can hack
into APCs remotely)
This is a re-PR of https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/76445 but
it's a little better this time and does not remove the PDA Messenger app
from pAIs.
## Changelog

### SOUNDS
Changes next sound files:

- alert.ogg
Adds next sound files:
- notice3.ogg
- announce_syndi.ogg
Now `announce.ogg` plays when a Captain joins round, and
`announce_dig.ogg` for Requests Console announcements.
The `announce_syndi.ogg` plays when an announcement is made through an
emagged communications console. It also plays when the evacuation
shuttle is fully hijacked or Cultists fully corrupt the evacuation
shuttle.
You can listen to them all here:
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/assets/42353186/10c5e597-6db7-464a-b693-f5a2672dc3d0

</details>
Now the communications console Status Display menu replaced the "Red
Alert" display option with the "Current Alert" which showcases the
current alert display.
Also, the Status Display menu has an additional "Radiation" display
option.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I believe this Pull Request is a good game for a couple of reasons:
1. It better conveys the gravity of emergency situations, such as Code
Red, by utilizing a more intimidating and recognizable sound. This gives
more weight to these situations, making them feel more urgent and
important in the game. Players always tend to not notice that it's in
action.
2. The replacement of the old and outdated Status Display sprites with
newer, more eye-catching ones is a great improvement. This helps to
emphasize the importance of emergency situations even further by making
them more noticeable. Status Displays was one of the last wall-mounts
using ancient sprites.
3. The Captain's arrival using another sound effect from other
announcements gives more status to the Captain as the ultimate head of
the station.
4. Heads announcement using `announce_dig.ogg` makes the sound itself
more used outside of SM cascade, and also makes Head announcements more
noticeable.
5. Emagged console using `announce_syndi.ogg` making Traitor
announcements more noticeable. Also, it is played after evac shuttle is
fully hijacked or corrupted by Cultists giving a more ominous effect
## Changelog
🆑

## About The Pull Request
Read title, not having these checks can knock out the messenger for
everyone for the entire round
## Why It's Good For The Game
I didn't think about hard deletes in my original NT Messenger PR, and as
far as I know this hasn't happened on this codebase yet.
However this PR doesn't only help downstreams that struggle with hard
deletes, it also implements some pretty critical guards as not having a
messenger for an entire round is pretty bad and sometimes hard deletes
are very hard to track and fix, so it could potentially break the
messenger for a lot of rounds.
## About The Pull Request
Replaces the Traitor's Camera Bug item with an application that allows
you to view camera apps.
The difference between this app and the Security one is that it does not
have an access requirement, does not make noise (it didn't previously
due to a bug, fixed in this PR), and can be installed on PDAs.
This can also be installed from syndienet, which means nukies now have a
way to see the station cameras while off the ship.
Adds Syndicate app disks, which are made of Gold. This is only used by
the Camera app as of right now.
I also fixed some issues along the way;
- Camera tablet app now properly shows cameras
- It now properly makes the noises it is supposed to
- It clears the viewers properly on the ui being closed or the app being
exited.
Syndicate app disks ddelete their apps upon being transferred over (like
maintenance disks), trying to remain consistent with previous behavior.
I also made this for a [personal project I am currently working
on](https://hackmd.io/XLt5MoRvRxuhFbwtk4VAUA). I could just make this UI
be TGUI, but I thought it could be worth trying to turn it into a better
item first.
Tracking people is much simpler now- You choose anyone from a list of
people found on cameras, and it will try to find a camera that sees
them. It follows them until you close the app or switch camera.

## Why It's Good For The Game
The Camera Bug is one of the worst traitor items as of current. You can
remotely shut off a single camera, something that can be done with basic
tools you are likely carrying around anyways, and uses an HTML clunky UI
to flip through cameras.
This new Traitor item makes it much easier to use, since the camera
consoles are something you are likely already used to.
It also means emagging a tablet is slightly more useful, and golden data
disks are pretty cool.
Unfortunately this means that they no longer grant illegal tech, because
otherwise you can simply clone the app infinitely for personal use, and
deconstruct the disk itself for tech. This can be grinded into gold, but
I think if we want an illegal tech item, it'll have to find a new host.

## About The Pull Request
Completely reworks how AI tracking is handled, this has no in-game
effects.
This moves nearly all AI tracking handling onto ``/datum/tracking``,
which previously was pretty bad. I tried documenting as much as I can,
making comments actually useful and give accurate information.
Turns ``get_camera_list`` into a global proc, which we now use for
camera consoles (including the app), cutting down on copy paste in 2
areas and standardizing its behavior/backend.
## Why It's Good For The Game
I wanted to generalize this behavior so I can use it for tracking
players in https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/77713 - This
helps me do that.
Also the current state of AI tracking code is pretty poor and hopefully
this improves that area.
Closes https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/issues/42355
## Changelog
🆑
refactor: AI's player-tracking eyes received an unwanted obligatory
update, and should now not tell you that a player is untrackable when
they clearly obviously can be.

## 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.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Anything chat related is a bad place to runtime. Some messages can take
a while to type out and to have it not display is frustrating at worst,
possibly detrimental if you have to communicate something urgently.

fix: fixes a bug that can cause emotes to stop working if a client is

Alternative to / closes#77069
Their PR reminded me I wanted to de-hardcode this list at some point and
make it rely on a flag set on the jobs. So this pr does that.
I also made a combination flag of the flags copied across all station
jobs. Makes it easier to see at a glance which jobs have a unique flag
set and which are just copied across everything.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Makes it more maintainable for future us / downstreams to add new jobs
which may potentially be in this blacklist.

## About The Pull Request
When you say "sent from my PDA" in messenger, if it's through a clear
PDA, it will instead say "Sent from my Crystal PDA". This is so the
recipient knows they are in the presence of a crystal pda.

## About The Pull Request
Removes all of the duplicate global lists for specific machine types
where the only thing they do is store all machines of that type.
Adds machine tracking to SSmachines in the form of a list for all
machines, and then an associative list for machines by their type.
Previously we have machines in multiple global lists, such as airlocks
being in GLOB.doors, GLOB.airlocks, GLOB.machines.
This makes that not a thing, and also means that iterating through
GLOB.machines looking for a specific type is no longer as expensive.
## About The Pull Request
Gives all themes to clear PDAs
## Why It's Good For The Game
Clear PDAs are found/purchased late into a round and theme apps would
generally already be found and installed in PDAs. This means there's
nothing left to install in the crystal PDA, so instead I thought why
shouldn't they just get all themes?
## Changelog

qol: Clear PDAs now has all themes in their themify app by default.

## About The Pull Request
This'll prevent weird "above the max by accident" cases, and also uses
defines instead of hardcoded stuff. This code is often duped, wish we
had a better way of handling it.
Oh also removes a few safety copies before for loops that aren't
actually needed (for x in list copies the list)
## Why It's Good For The Game
Better UX, slightly saner code

I saw this line "randomly" and thought "well that can't be safe"
971fbf9362/code/modules/modular_computers/file_system/programs/radar.dm (L67-L68)
So I went through and added a sanity check for it to ensure it's only
getting passed `ref`s being tracked in the objects list
This accompanied some general code improvements
## Why It's Good For The Game
Just some extra safety
Some of these apps do a follow up check that the selected ref is a valid
ref to track, but not all of them (notably the Fission 360). It's
unlikely this can be abused but it's good to have

## About The Pull Request
Signals were initially only usable with component listeners, which while
no longer the case has lead to outdated documentation, names, and a
similar location in code.
This pr pulls the two apart. Partially because mso thinks we should, but
also because they really aren't directly linked anymore, and having them
in this midstate just confuses people.

## About The Pull Request
I accidentally discovered that when #55504 removed cargo export
categories being a thing during export value evaluation, in two
instances, they forgot to remove passing over the now defunct export
categories, causing it to be passed in as the elasticity value, and by
sheer coincidence, this was not causing problems (due to being overriden
by a named argument in the pirates case, and cargo_exports being
evaluated as true in another).
This PR fixes the arguments, preventing possible bugs in the future.
This also removes the code that set if the cargo shuttle could sell
contraband and emagged items, as that is no longer a thing. I talked
with @ArcaneMusic about this, and they agreed, albeit with the caveat
that if someone finds a good use case for this feature, it could be
saved.
This PR also autodocs several export related files, and cleans up
various single and two letter vars.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Cleaner code, unused code removed.

## About The Pull Request
- Fixes background apps not reloading the UI
- Standardizes opening/closing/backgrounding apps
- Simplifies the way apps are closed instead of having 2 procs, one on
the PC and one on the program, being named the same thing (wtf)
- Removes program states. They existed so computers can know to update
their UI every process tick, but since we now do this event based, this
is no longer needed, which is good.
- Replaces the 'forced' arg from kill_program as it was completely
unused, with ``reload_ui``, which is now used to open the UI on close,
and not to when we don't want it to.
- Closing background apps no longer reloads the entire UI
- Responding to an NT Message will no longer open the UI on your face.

## About The Pull Request
Tablet UIs are now changed when opening/closing an app, instead of

Program UI acts no longer call parent, as it was unnecessary, Computers
are the ones that should be calling it.
Fixes a ton of problems with static data not updating, such as in
Messenger, ID management, Siliconnect, and Chat client
Chat Client's Admin mode also works again, which was broken when
accesses to check was turned into a list.
Turns a few lists in Robocontrol into static ones when we aren't
changing anything, and makes it actually scan your ID's access.
Fixes budget ordering being unable to show the cart/call the cargo
shuttle.

## About The Pull Request
This very simply makes alarm monitor UI and icon updates event based
instead of updating them with the processing loop.
The original proc also included unnecessary conditionals, these have
been worked out.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Instead of updating alarm monitors every single program tick, we could
instead update them only when alarms actually update. This improves
responsiveness for when alarms go off (we don't wait for the next
program tick and instead update immediately), and prevents us from
running unnecessary conditionals and icon updates.

# MAINTAINER - USE THE BUTTON THAT SAYS "MERGE MASTER" THEN SET THE PR
TO AUTO-MERGE! IT'S MUCH EASIER FOR ME TO FIX THINGS BEFORE THEY SKEW
RATHER THAN AFTER THE FACT.
## About The Pull Request
Hey there,
This took a while to do, but here's the gist:
Python file now regexes every file in `/code` except for those that have
some valid reason to be tacking on more global defines. Some of those
reasons are simply just that I don't have the time right now (doing what
you see in this PR took a few hours) to refactor and parse what should
belong and what should be thrown out. For the time being though, this PR
will at least _halt_ people making the mistake of not `#undef`ing any
files they `#define` "locally", or within the scope of a file.
Most people forget to do this and this leads to a lot of mess later on
due to how many variables can be unmanaged on the global level. I've
made this mistake, you've made this mistake, it's a common thing. Let's
automatically check for it so it can be fixed no-stress.
Scenarios this PR corrects:
* Forgetting to undef a define but undeffing others.
* Not undeffing any defines in your file.
* Earmarking a define as a "file local" define, but not defining it.
* Having a define be a "file local" define, but having it be used
elsewhere.
* Having a "local" define not even be in the file that it only shows up
in.
* Having a completely unused define*
(* I kept some of these because they seemed important... Others were
junked.)
## Why It's Good For The Game
If you wanna use it across multiple files, no reason to not make it a
global define (maybe there's a few reasons but let's assume that this is
the 95% case).
Let me know if you don't like how I re-arranged some of the defines and
how you'd rather see it be implemented, and I'd be happy to do that.
This was mostly just "eh does it need it or not" sorta stuff.
I used a pretty cool way to detect if we should use the standardized
GitHub "error" output, you can see the results of that here
https://github.com/san7890/bruhstation/actions/runs/4549766579/jobs/8022186846#step:7:792
## Changelog
Nothing that really concerns players.
(I fixed up all this stuff using vscode, no regexes beyond what you see
in the python script. sorry downstreams)
## About The Pull Request
Newscasters now have Library access for handing out D-Notices, and
Security access for Wanted issues, instead of both being tied to Armory
access.
Also allows Ntos Newscaster to work if ran by someone without Library
access, so Curator can download the app for others if they want.
## Why It's Good For The Game
- Newscasters have turned into one of the Curator's largest gameplay
aspects and it would be nice if they were able to moderate it as well,
instead of being the Warden who has absolutely no interest in
Newscasters.
- Allowing Officers to send out Wanted issues is more just in hopes it
will result in it being used more, though it seems like a very similar
feature to the wanted posters, maybe we can merge these two together one
day.
- The Ntos Newscaster access change is more of an oversight, I like it
when people can download apps for eachother as it gives a reason to seek
others and lend them your PDA for an application you want, blocking the
person from using the app after getting a Curator to download it for
them kinda sucks in-game.
## Changelog
🆑
balance: Curators/HoP can now manage Newscaster D-Notices (previously
was Warden/HoS).
balance: Security Officers/Detectives can now issue Wanted notices on
Newscasters.
balance: Ntos Newscaster now requires Library access only to download,
not to run.

## About The Pull Request
This is a continuation of
https://github.com/tgstation/tgstation/pull/74085 - I announced in the
comments there that this would be my next PR, and this is it.
Removes SSnetwork, ``/datum/ntnet``,
``/datum/component/ntnet_interface``, ``var/network_root_id``, the
network unit test, and a lot of other things related to networks.
- NTNet circuits now check for an Ntnet relay, and uses signals to
operate.
- Logs in Wirecarp is now only for PDA and Ntnet Relay things, so you
can no longer see what ruins exist using it (why should Wirecarp know
that Oldstation spawned? The flavor is that they dont know its there).
- Removed it from MULEbots entirely, I don't think it even did anything
for them? Botkeeper seems to work without it, so it's possibly there
from pre-tgui PDAs.
- Moves assigning random names to a base proc instead of being tied to
network, this is things like random-naming scrubbers/vents. The behavior
hasn't changed at all.
- Makes Ntos work for consoles when relays are down, as the comments
said they're supposed to (because they're wired). I think this was an
accidental change on my part, so this is a revert of that.
## Why It's Good For The Game
Ntnet is ancient code that hasn't given us much that we can't do with
already existing alternatives, we've been slowly moving away from it for
init times, and though a large portion of that was limited to airlocks,
I still don't think this is a system worth keeping around.
It's way too complex to expect feature coders to do anything with it,
and too old with better alternatives for anyone to want to improve any
of it.
## Changelog
🆑
fix: Computers are now properly connected to Ethernet, and can use Ntos
when Relays are down.
refactor: Removes Ntnet and Ntnet interfaces, which was only used by
Ntnet circuits (which now directly checks for a Relay to work) and
MULEbots, which did nothing with it.
balance: Wirecarp no longer tells you what ruins spawned in a round,
instead it's limited to PDA logs, and tells you the source too. This
means the RD can catch someone running illegal programs if they don't
make any attempt at hiding it.
qol: Wirecarp logs is now set to save 300 at once, instead of 100 and
being increased to 300 by the RD during the round. This is pretty
insignificant, since there's no reason to NOT want as many logs as
possible.
