- Fix, POIs should now be rad protected and characters won’t be affected by the radiation event
* Fixes Lead Walls (#5562)
A material's ``radiation_resistance`` was never considered for calculating a wall's cached resistance to radiation. This fixes it. There is another issue involving r-walls not being better at stopping radiation than their normal-wall counterparts made of the same material but fixing that involves a lot of number adjusting to avoid the SM engine from getting twice as protective.

This is to be fixed in the near future, just wanted to get the make workload actually in the game first.

https://github.com/VOREStation/VOREStation/pull/4310https://github.com/VOREStation/VOREStation/issues/3597
* Remove kobold.dm
This file has no sprites and is used nowhere. It does have some kinda cute emotes but without sprites it's useless and has been since 2017 and maybe much longer. I haven't found any references of it's origin either.
~~maybe virgo will do sprites i dunno~~

* Changes << to to_chat at request.
* wax staxs
* Fix plastic ashtrays only holding one butt. Now they hold 4butts.
jeez bill.
* Move surgery caps into their own selection.
* Fixes maploading
Imagine you're on the last iteration of this loop, you've done the final column of X coordinates and you're going to set maxx.
Would you want to set it to where you are now, the final X column... or would you want to add ONE MORE beyond the template size for some reason then set it to that?
This bug causes all templates that are the size of normal maps to fail to initialize any atoms if your template is the size of your normal maps, because it tries to obtain a square of size minx, miny, minz, maxx, maxy, maxz to initialize, however maxx is nonextant because it exists outside the bounds of the world. It also causes all submaps to initialize an additional column of atoms twice, or not initialize any if they spawn against the right edge of the map.

Yeah they kinda fixed it three days ago way better than I did it so
* Fixes 6 pAI faces
PAIs are no longer coded to only recognize 9 emotions. This enables the use of the neutral, silly, nose, smirk, exclamation points, and question mark faces as a pAI. Before, those buttons did nothing.
* Fixes the PDA Halogen Scanner's tendency to be number one.
* Unfolded pAIs can be picked up
Because who doesn't want a robotic cat on their head? Adds in the missing code to allow pAIs to actually be picked up, and held sprites for the newer 4 chassis options.

BYOND no longer calls Uncross reliably on stairs, to fix this we switch
to using CheckExit and Bumped. This solution is probably the right way to
do it anyway.
Also fix a few things to be on the correct plane. Basically the under-floor stuff is supposed to be on PLATING_PLANE.
Portable atmospherics go on object layer so they are above stationary machinery, given that they move around.
Fixed wires to be on top of pipes like they used to be, otherwise they'd be obscured too often.
Bug in the init_dirs_cache was not setting direction of pipes, making all cached dirs be for south.
Because mapped in pipes didn't have piping layer set, mapped in pipes conflicted.
The full-tile check for unary machines forgot to exclude *itself*
- Moved pipe construction defines into __defines/construction.dm
- Unified pipe *unwrenching* by creating a standard proc along with the `construction_type` var.
- Eliminated the pipe fitting name & icon_state lookup tables by adding `pipe_state` var on atmos machinery and referencing that.
- Each pipe which can be made from a fitting object should override `pipe_state` with the icon state to be used on the pipe fitting object.
- Eliminated the giant switch statement of doom in pipe construction by delegating that work to `on_construction` proc.
- To make this work, every pipe must implement `get_neighbor_nodes_for_init` which returns a list of nodes which should be re-initialized on that pipe's construction.
- Combined the SCRUBBERS, SUPPLY and REGULAR pipe fitting classes together by storing the `piping_layer` variable and using the `setPipingLayer` procs
- Standardized the code for searching for node neighbors into the `can_be_node` proc.
- This proc is also improved in that is a mutual check, `check_connectable` is called on BOTH objects, so they have to mutually agree to connect as nodes. Eliminates lots of special edge case logic.
- Updated all the `amos_init` procs to use `can_be_node`. In the most common cases, even that boilerplate code is consolidated into the `STANDARD_ATMOS_CHOOSE_NODE` macro.
- Implemented `pipe_flags` which lets pipes declare (or override) certain requirements.
- Adds a "pipe_recipe" datum to help out things that construct pipes. By taking it out of the dispenser, we open the road for multiple dispenser types. No, no RPD yet. Soon.
- Enhances the pipe dispenser to operate on pipe recipe datums instead of hard coded lists of pipes it can construct. These datums are also (partially) initialized from the pipe machine types themselves, reducing having to define stuff in multiple places.
- Switched pipe dispenser UI to use browse(). Not a NanoUI, but makes it a bit prettier with low effort.
- Changed pipe dispenser to use a button selector to switch between Regular/Scrubbers/Supply instead of having separate list items.
- Added icon states to HE pipes to support the "connected on neither side" state.
* Fixes Runtime in tools.dm,239: undefined variable /mob/living/simple_animal/retaliate/solargrub/var/handcuffed
* Add logging to help identify the cause of runtime in examining zshadow mobs.
* Fix Runtime in buckling.dm,165: Cannot execute null.forceMove().
* Fixes Runtime in robot_items.dm,31: Cannot read null.origin_tech
* Fixes Runtime in paper_bundle.dm,183: Cannot read null.loc
* Added "Display Initialize() Log" admin debug command so you can see it mid-round.
* Ported the core of the overlays management subsystem from /tg
- Added SSoverlays subsystem for compiling overlay lists and applying them to atoms in a controlled anti-lag subsystem.
- Added vars and procs to atom which should eventually replace all direct interaction with BYOND's /atom/overlays var outside the subsystem.
- Added OVERLAY_QUEUED flag to var/atom/flags bitfield.
- Added small framework for subsystem performance tracking. So far used only by SSoverlays
- Added admin debug command "Display overlay Log" to see performance stats mid-round.
* Fix runtime on universal pipe adaptor update_icons
* Workaround for appearance_bro not initialized
Unfortuantely BYOND's initialization order is strange, and the appearance_bro var is only half initialized when map starts to load, causing errors. We temporarily fix by moving it to be a global-scoped global.
* Convert fire alarms to use add_overlay() A good first test.
* Convert turfs to use add_overlays(), eliminating the turf_overlay_holder!
- Converted as much as I could find about turf overlays to use add_overlay().
- This should be enough to stop BYOND from crashing, so we can eliminate the turf_overlay_holder hack.
- This also lets us remove the anti-corruption hacks from walls and open space.
- ZAS gas overlays can use priority overlays, so this also fixes the gas-goes-away-when-crowbarring-plating issue.
- Stuff like that
* Convert turf overlay interactions to use add_overlay.
Note: This is a plain and simple conversion of existing code to use SSoverlays. However I look at the line changed, and note that that line likely never fully worked as intended, as it has no way of re-applying itself.
I would make it use a priority overlay, but there is no code present for *removing* said overlay from neighbors when it is no longer required. That code should be implemented by original author.
* Yes, all of them.
* Also did a few corrections to redundant New() and broken Destroy() along the way
* Renamed the turf_initializer.initialize() proc to InitializeTurf to avoid confusion.
* Subsumed /area/proc/initialize into /atom/proc/initialize() - Made /area's LateInitialize to get same behavior as before.
* Moves proc/initialize() from being on /atom/movable, /are and /turf/simulated to being on /atom - Now turfs can initialize too
* Added the SSatoms subsystem which controls initialization of atoms at roundstart and during normal conditions.
* Disabled the old auto_init = 0 behavior, ALL atoms should get initialized() called on them now.
* Refactored the way initialize() is called during /New() to utilize SSatoms instead of SScreation
* Removed SScreation, as it was only a stop-gap until SSatoms could be ported.
* Updated the maploader to inform SSatoms when it is loading maps instead of SScreation.
* Updated the template map loader to use SSatoms to perform initTemplateBounds
* Renamed 'initialized' var in seed_storage to deconflict.
* Removed usage of auto_init = 0, replaced with a no-op initialize() proc for atoms that don't need initialization.
On Multi-Z compatible maps, if a tile is missing a ceiling (IE there is an open space above it), it will display an overlay to show this. This makes it easier to know where the hole in the ceiling is without having to go to the ceiling. Overlay sprite by Mechoid.
Also fixes space tiles appearing when meteors/explosions/other fun things occur on the Southern Cross map instead of open space.
Fixes Destroy() proc on zpipes and cryo cells gets rid of a `loc = X`
Updates remaining atmos machinery to use atmos_init
Fixes area atmos computer to use initialize() instead of spawn-in-New
Ported 'see-down' open spaces from Vore, who ported it from Eris
Ported talking and visible messages traveling upwards through open spaces
Tested, seems to work? Does not seem to break anything, maybe.
Maybe made a changelog.
