Failsafe

Failsafe

Pretty much pokes the MC to make sure it's still alive.

Master

StonedMC

Designed to properly split up a given tick among subsystems Note: if you read parts of this code and think "why is it doing it that way" Odds are, there is a reason

SSacid

The subsystem used to tick /datum/component/acid instances.

SSai_behaviors

The subsystem used to tick /datum/ai_behavior instances. Handling the individual actions an AI can take like punching someone in the fucking NUTS

SSai_controllers

The subsystem used to tick /datum/ai_controllers instances. Handling the re-checking of plans.

SSai_movement

The subsystem used to tick /datum/ai_movement instances. Handling the movement of individual AI instances

SSambience

The subsystem used to play ambience to users every now and then, makes them real excited.

SSclock_component

The subsystem used to tick /datum/component/acid instances.

SSdiscord

Discord Subsystem

This subsystem handles some integrations with discord

NOTES:

• There is a DB table to track ckeys and associated discord IDs. (discord_link)
• This system REQUIRES TGS for notifying users at end of the round
• The SS uses fire() instead of just pure shutdown, so people can be notified if it comes back after a crash, where the SS wasn't properly shutdown
• It only writes to the disk every 5 minutes, and it won't write to disk if the file is the same as it was the last time it was written. This is to save on disk writes
• The system is kept per-server (EG: Terry will not notify people who pressed notify on Sybil), but the accounts are between servers so you dont have to relink on each server.

HOW NOTIFYING WORKS

ROUNDSTART:

1. The file is loaded and the discord IDs are extracted
2. A ping is sent to the discord with the IDs of people who wished to be notified
3. The file is emptied

MIDROUND:

1. Someone usees the notify verb, it adds their discord ID to the list.
2. On fire, it will write that to the disk, as long as conditions above are correct

END ROUND:

1. The file is force-saved, incase it hasn't fired at end round

This is an absolute clusterfuck, but its my clusterfuck -aa07

SSeigenstates

Subsystem used to teleport people to a linked web of itterative entries. If one entry is deleted, the 2 around it will forge a link instead.

SSid_access

Non-processing subsystem that holds various procs and data structures to manage ID cards, trims and access.

SSlag_switch

The subsystem for controlling drastic performance enhancements aimed at reducing server load for a smoother albeit slightly duller gaming experience

SSreagents

Cached list of possible quirks

SSrunechat

Runechat Subsystem

Maintains a timer-like system to handle destruction of runechat messages. Much of this code is modeled after or adapted from the timer subsystem.

Note that this has the same structure for storing and queueing messages as the timer subsystem does for handling timers: the bucket_list is a list of chatmessage datums, each of which are the head of a circularly linked list. Any given index in bucket_list could be null, representing an empty bucket.

SStgui

tgui subsystem

Contains all tgui state and subsystem code.

SStime_track

The reference to the end of round sound that we have chosen.

SStimer

Timer Subsystem

Handles creation, callbacks, and destruction of timed events.

It is important to understand the buckets used in the timer subsystem are just a series of doubly-linked lists. The object at a given index in bucket_list is a /datum/timedevent, the head of a list, which has prev and next references for the respective elements in that bucket's list.

Only the first argument is required.

get_airlock_overlay

Overlay cache. Why isn't this just in /obj/machinery/door/airlock? Because its used just a tiny bit in door_assembly.dm Refactored so you don't have to make a null copy of airlock to get to the damn thing Someone, for the love of god, profile this. Is there a reason to cache mutable_appearance if so, why are we JUST doing the airlocks when we can put this in mutable_appearance.dm for everything

get_chem_id

get_distribution

This is a pretty complicated algorithm, but it's one I'm rather proud of.

This is the function that is responsible for taking the list of preferences, and spitting out what to put them in.

However, it should, wherever possible, prevent solo departments. That means that if there's one medical officer, and one engineering officer, that they should be put onto the same department (either medical or engineering).

The first step is to get the "distribution". This describes how many officers should be in each department, no matter what they are. This is handled in get_distribution. Examples of inputs/outputs are: get_distribution(1, 4) => [1] get_distribution(2, 4) => [2] get_distribution(3, 4) => [3] # If this returned [2, 1], then we'd get a loner. get_distribution(4, 4) => [2, 2] # We have enough to put into a separate group

Once this distribution is received, the next step is to figure out where to put everyone.

If all members have no preference, just make one an unused department (from the departments argument). Then, call ourselves again.

Order the groups from most populated to least.

If the top group has enough officers who actually want that department, then we give it to them. If there are any leftovers (for example, if 3 officers want medical, but we only want 2), then we update those to have no preference instead.

If the top group does NOT have enough officers, then we kill the least popular group by setting them all to have no preference.

Anyone in the most popular group will be removed from the list, and the final tally will be updated. In the case of not having enough officers, this is a no-op, as there won't be any in the most popular group yet.

If there are any candidates left, then we call the algorithm again, but for everyone who hasn't been selected yet. We take the results from that run, and put them in the correct order.

As an example, let's assume we have the following preferences: [engineer, medical, medical, medical, medical, cargo]

The distribution of this is [2, 2, 2], meaning there will be 3 departments chosen and they will have 2 each. We order from most popular to least popular and get:

• medical: 4
• engineer: 1
• cargo: 1

We need 2 to fill the first group. There are enough medical staff to do it. Thus, we take the first 2 medical staff and update the output, making it now: [engineer, medical, medical, ?, ?, cargo].

The remaining two want-to-be-medical officers are now updated to act as no preference. We run the algorithm again. This time, are candidates are [engineer, none, none, cargo]. The distribution of this is [2, 2]. The frequency is:

• engineer: 1
• cargo: 1
• no preference: 2

We need 2 to fill the engineering group, but only have one who wants to do it. We have enough no preferences for it, making our result: [engineer, engineer, none, cargo]. We run the algorithm again, but this time with: [none, cargo]. Frequency is:

• cargo: 1
• no preference: 1 Enough to fill cargo, etc, and we get [cargo, cargo].

These are all then compounded into one list.

In the case that all are no preference, it will pop the last department, and use that. For example, if departments is [engi, medical, cargo], and we have the preferences: [none, none, none]... Then we will just give them all cargo.

One of the most important parts of this algorithm is IT IS DETERMINISTIC. That means that this proc is 100% testable. Instead, to get random results, the preferences and departments are shuffled before the proc is ever called.

get_hearers_in_view

Returns a list of hearers in view(view_radius) from source (ignoring luminosity). uses important_recursive_contentsRECURSIVE_CONTENTS_HEARING_SENSITIVE

get_officer_departments

Returns the distribution of splitting the given security officers into departments. Return value is an assoc list of candidate => SEC_DEPT_*.

get_path_to

This file contains the stuff you need for using JPS (Jump Point Search) pathing, an alternative to A* that skips over large numbers of uninteresting tiles resulting in much quicker pathfinding solutions. Mind that diagonals cost the same as cardinal moves currently, so paths may look a bit strange, but should still be optimal.

This is the proc you use whenever you want to have pathfinding more complex than "try stepping towards the thing". If no path was found, returns an empty list, which is important for bots like medibots who expect an empty list rather than nothing.

Arguments:

• caller: The movable atom that's trying to find the path
• end: What we're trying to path to. It doesn't matter if this is a turf or some other atom, we're gonna just path to the turf it's on anyway
• max_distance: The maximum number of steps we can take in a given path to search (default: 30, 0 = infinite)
• mintargetdistance: Minimum distance to the target before path returns, could be used to get near a target, but not right to it - for an AI mob with a gun, for example.
• id: An ID card representing what access we have and what doors we can open. Its location relative to the pathing atom is irrelevant
• simulated_only: Whether we consider turfs without atmos simulation (AKA do we want to ignore space)
• exclude: If we want to avoid a specific turf, like if we're a mulebot who already got blocked by some turf
• skip_first: Whether or not to delete the first item in the path. This would be done because the first item is the starting tile, which can break movement for some creatures.

Extracts the powernet and cell of the provided power source

get_random_reagent_id

Returns a random reagent object minus blacklisted reagents

get_ranged_target_turf_direct

• range - range.

hex2rgb

Converts "#RRGGBB" to list(0xRR, 0xGG, 0xBB)

htmlrendertext

Perform a whitespace cleanup on the text, similar to what HTML renderers do

This is useful if you want to better predict how text is going to look like when displaying it to a user. HTML renderers collapse multiple whitespaces into one, trims prepending and appending spaces, among other things. This proc attempts to do the same thing. HTML5 defines whitespace pretty much exactly like regex defines the \s group, [ \t\r\n\f].

Arguments:

• t - The text to "render"

icon2base64

Converts an icon to base64. Operates by putting the icon in the iconCache savefile, exporting it as text, and then parsing the base64 from that. (This relies on byond automatically storing icons in savefiles as base64)

log_directed_talk

Helper for logging of messages with only one sender and receiver

log_tgui

Appends a tgui-related log entry. All arguments are optional.

log_wound

log_wound() is for when someone is attacked and suffers a wound. Note that this only captures wounds from damage, so smites/forced wounds aren't logged, as well as demotions like cuts scabbing over

Note that this has no info on the attack that dealt the wound: information about where damage came from isn't passed to the bodypart's damaged proc. When in doubt, check the attack log for attacks at that same time TODO later: Add logging for healed wounds, though that will require some rewriting of healing code to prevent admin heals from spamming the logs. Not high priority

Arguments:

siunit

Formats a number to human readable form with the appropriate SI unit.

Supports SI exponents between 1e-15 to 1e15, but properly handles numbers outside that range as well. Examples:

• siunit(1234, "Pa", 1) -> "1.2 kPa"

• siunit(0.5345, "A", 0) -> "535 mA"

• siunit(1000, "Pa", 4) -> "1 kPa" Arguments:

• value - The number to convert to text. Can be positive or negative.

• unit - The base unit of the number, such as "Pa" or "W".

• maxdecimals - Maximum amount of decimals to display for the final number. Defaults to 1.

• For pressure conversion, use proc/siunit_pressure() below

siunit_pressure

• The game code never uses Pa, but kPa, since 1 Pa is too small to reasonably handle
• Thus, to ensure correct conversion from any kPa in game code, this value needs to be multiplied by 10e3 to get Pa, which the siunit() proc expects
• Args:
• • value_in_kpa - Value that should be converted to readable text in kPa
• • maxdecimals - maximum number of decimals that are displayed, defaults to 1 in proc/siunit()
