Bump version to 4.0-stable \o/

4 years of development. 12,000 merged pull requests. 7,000 fixed issues. 1,500 individual contributors across engine and docs.

The Godot 4.0 release is by all metrics our biggest release so far. No stone has been left unturned, all parts of the engine have been modernized, refactored, overhauled, rewritten, redesigned.

Our work is far from done. Many areas still have significant known issues, and will require focused work from all willing contributors to fix blocking bugs, implement missing features, optimize for performance or compatibility, and improve the user experience.

But Godot 4.0 marks the start of the new, modern Godot Engine, and a solid foundation for us all to build upon. Future 4.x releases will come with a much faster cadence, enabling us to iterate quickly on new features and improvements to what we already provide.

To all of you who were involved in making Godot 4.0 what it is today, however big or small your contributions were:

THANK YOU!

This was a massive undertaking, and you all participated in unique and wonderful ways to build a free and open source game engine for everyone to use and enjoy. You are breathtaking! <3

LV522: Chances Changes (#2695)

About the pull request

This PR makes numerous Changes to LV522 as well as adds more props to ease of mapper use

Explain why it's good for the game

The areas changes and reasons why as are follows SW Reactor: Entirely removed and replaced with a much more open containers area for the xenos to build up and defend, this area is now the linchpin of the map as marines have to push though it to get to other flanks inside the reactor meaning the xeno players should now have a much better understanding of where they need to defend instead of prior problems with the map of them being hard flanked and losing at 12:26

LZ1: LZ1 was moved slightly more north in an attempt to remove some deadspace and make the path from the front to the FOB slightly less long, more LZ1 tunnels and ways inside the FOB were added for xeno flankers aswell as LZ1 being locked down until the marines push a button to open it up

Colony admin A sensor tower was added to colony admin to encourage marines to go over there and investigate, along with a lockdown to the area being added

LZ3 a FORECON prop LZ housing the Tornado was re-added after being removed in an attempt to downsize the map, basically I figured out where I could put it

props: Alot of instanced props for the map were made into actual items such as, bedrolls and folded bedrolls, FORECON dogtags, used flares, jerry cans, used bandages and some weird gameboy thing

Sprites: https://i.imgur.com/avi2fUo.png FORECON was always made to have a patch it was one of those things I wanted but never got, luckily while making this PR I was able to look into it and get the old sprite from tri to finish up myself with onmobs

FORECON Balance changes: The M39 being in the primary weapon slot is more of a "fuck you" to people playing the roll than just unlucky RNG that is workaround able moving it to the secondary pool lets the FORECON play around with better weapons to survive with and the M39 extended magazines means it's one of the only weapons FORECON spawn with that has a decent amount of ammo

Testing Photographs and Procedure

Screenshots & Videos

Put screenshots and videos here with an empty line between the screenshots and the <details> tags.

Changelog

🆑SpartanBobby add: Made some instanced props on LV522 actual items for mapper ease of use maptweak: tweaked LV522, removing the SW reactor and replacing it with a much more open container area once used as the FORECONS FOB maptweak: tweaked LZ1 on LV522 making it start locked down and be slightly more north along with some extra tunnels and flanking routes for the xenos maptweak: LV522, added a lockdown and moved the sensor tower to colony admin maptweak: re-added the prop LZ in the NE of the colony maptweak: redistributed LV522 mining metal spawns to be more spread out maptweak: removed building color outlines from LV522 that were there to help with navigation during Test merges since the map has been out for long enough for the majority to properly navigate it tweak: M39 removed from FORECON primary weapon pool and added to secondary weapon pool along with extended mags instead of normal add: Added FORECON Patches for the survivors on LV522 sprites made by Triiodine while onmobs were made by myself with help from Kugamo fix: examing a uniform no longer tells you that it has "an USCM/FORECON/Falling falcons patch" instead it says "a patch" add: updated the USCM FORECON uniform name and description /🆑

Changes the hypno flash to work on unconscious people (#73025)

About The Pull Request

The hypno flash is a really fun and flavourful item that is both strong while allowing for gimmicks. However, personally, I've always been a bit confused as to what counted for hypnosis, until looking into the specifics. I also know that I'm probably not alone in this, because various people have told me over the years that sleep doesn't work, while it definitely does. This PR hopes to change this by somewhat buffing the hypno flash, by making unconsciousness work for hypnosis.

Why It's Good For The Game

Unconsciousness looks very similar to sleep, and in a lot of cases it is really just the same effect... except for hypnosis, where there is no effect on unconscious people. Personally, I don't think this is the best UX and it limits the options there are for hypnotising people, which is a shame, as I think it's very interesting. This may or may not be too strong (think using the hypno flash with the micro-laser), but I still think this is preferable to only working with sleep specifically or hypnosis, might warrant a TC up if people otherwise agree with the change. Also, just to note, unconsciousness is also still separate from crit. This does not let you hypnotise people for free because they're in crit.

Abductor scientist self-retrieve failure/runtime fix (#73172)

About The Pull Request

Since the abductor outfit/implant would load before the abductor ship (and it's teleport pad) when first generating a team, a runtime would occur when trying to link the pad to the implant. Another would occur every time you attempted to retrieve yourself (as the linked pad would be null), preventing recall and completely neutering an abductor team's most important maneuver.

Now, using the implant will perform the linking process again if no linked pad is found, and provides the owner with a warning if (by some great calamity) they genuinely have no pad to teleport back to. This solves the issue of the implant sometimes not linking to a pad properly on initialize, and makes them way less prone to breaking.

Apparently this has been broken for a while, presumably since the abductor ship was made into a lazyloading template.

Why It's Good For The Game

The funny silly grey men get to torture the poor hapless crew once again.

Changelog

🆑 fix: abductor scientist's retrieval implants will now properly recall the owner, and inform them upon recall failure. /🆑

Remove C-n and C-p from the insert mode keymap (#3340)

These are read-line-like bindings which we'd like to minimize in insert mode in general.

In particular these two are troublesome if you have a low editor.idle-timeout config and are using LSP completions: the behavior of C-n/C-p switches from moving down/up lines to moving down/up the completion menu, so if you hit C-n too quickly expecting to be in the completion menu, you'll end up moving down a line instead. Using C-p moves you back up the line but doesn't re-trigger the completion menu. This kind of timing related change to behavior isn't realistically that big of a deal but it can be annoying.

Visual fixes (lighting, weird shit, old bugs from a parallax thing) (#73555)

About The Pull Request

Fixes a bug where anything fully dark on the floor plane would mask the lighting plane

I fucked it up boys, needed to take alpha into account here

Fixes pais getting parallax on icebox because their location was nested

God I hate this place (Note when I say get I mean they got the plane master that controls it, not that they actually got it displayed. That does appear to sometimes happen but I have no idea why)

Fixes double flashlights not activating if enabled in place

efb8b64

cast_directional_light removes the lighting appearance, because it's gonna modify it, but it turns out because appearances are static when they're in like underlays/overlays, this could remove the WRONG UNDERLAY

This lead to double held flashlights just... not working until you rotated. V stupid.

I've also had to move the flag set to make the overlay add in cast_directional_light work. Depression

Why It's Good For The Game

Closes #73535, closes #73517, closes #73518, and fixes part of #73471

Changelog

timeline: avoid duplicate items or item dependencies when pasting

God damn this was a big oof. Pasting was inadvertently making duplicates of the footage node(s) every single time. Worst case was if the clip was connected to a nested sequence. Every time someone copy/pasted in my large-scale project, it would add another 1000 nodes to the project. It's about fucking time this was fixed.

x11: support xorg present extension

This builds off of present_sync which was introduced in a previous commit to support xorg's present extension in all of the X11 backends (sans vdpau) in mpv. It turns out there is an Xpresent library that integrates the xorg present extention with Xlib (which barely anyone seems to use), so this can be added without too much trouble. The workflow is to first setup the event by telling Xorg we would like to receive PresentCompleteNotify (there are others in the extension but this is the only one we really care about). After that, just call XPresentNotifyMSC after every buffer swap with a target_msc of 0. Xorg then returns the last presentation through its usual event loop and we go ahead and use that information to update mpv's values for vsync timing purposes. One theoretical weakness of this approach is that the present event is put on the same queue as the rest of the XEvents. It would be nicer for it be placed somewhere else so we could just wait on that queue without having to deal with other possible events in there. In theory, xcb could do that with special events, but it doesn't really matter in practice.

Unsurprisingly, this doesn't work on NVIDIA. Well NVIDIA does actually receive presentation events, but for whatever the calculations used make timings worse which defeats the purpose. This works perfectly fine on Mesa however. Utilizing the previous commit that detects Xrandr providers, we can enable this mechanism for users that have both Mesa and not NVIDIA (to avoid messing up anyone that has a switchable graphics system or such). Patches welcome if anyone figures out how to fix this on NVIDIA.

Unlike the EGL/GLX sync extensions, the present extension works with any graphics API (good for vulkan since its timing extension has been in development hell). NVIDIA also happens to have zero support for the EGL/GLX sync extensions, so we can just remove it with no loss. Only Xorg ever used it and other backends already have their own present methods. vo_vdpau VO is a special case that has its own fancying timing code in its flip_page. This presumably works well, and I have no way of testing it so just leave it as it is.

[FIX] website: redirect to case insensitive URL if not exact match

Before this commit, if a link to a page was not correct because of a case mismatch, it would simply land on a 404 page. While it's correct, as URL are case sensitive, it leads to a few bad UX flow at the admin/editor level:

  • Create a link in your page (on a text or a button eg), type an URL which does not exists (to create it after) like /Page
  • Click on the link/button you just made, you are redirected to /Page which display a 404 with the "Create page" option (correct)
  • When you click on that button, it will actually create a page with /page URL, leading to a mismatch between the URL you created and the page URL. Your link/button will still lead to a 404 URL as it points to /Page.

Since it's just a fallback when an exact URL match is not found, it should not break anything and should not have bad impact at any level (seo/speed etc). Indeed:

  • It's done through a 302 redirect
  • _serve_page() is already a fallback case, so it will only make the website.redirect and 404 cases a bit slower due to the extra search query.

The only possible scenario seems to be if the user (mind the uppercase):

  • Created a /Page page
  • Created a redirect from /page to /another-page

In this case, /page won't land on /another-page but on /Page. This flow seems unlikely and is not actually wrong either way. At least, it certainly is less important than ensuring a case insensitive fallback.

Finally, note that another solution would have been to either:

  • Force page URL to lower case. -> This is not stable friendly, people might be relying on this to create pages with different casing: /Batman-VII-The-Dark-Knight-Whatevers, while not recommended, doesn't sounds idiot. On top of not being stable friendly, we probably want to keep offering this possibility
  • Redirect all URLs to lowercase endpoints. -> This is obviously not stable and not Odoo's jobs. It should be something decided by the sysadmin and done at nginx (etc) level.

commit: give a hint when a commit message has been abandoned

If we launch an editor for the user to create a commit message, they may put significant work into doing so. Typically we try to check common mistakes that could cause the commit to fail early, so that we die before the user goes to the trouble.

We may still experience some errors afterwards, though; in this case, the user is given no hint that their commit message has been saved. Let's tell them where it is.

ahead-behind: do not die when we see no INTERESTING pending object

We currently die if we are fed an ahead/behind with zero objects (foo..foo in the most basic case, but in practice something like foo@{upstream}..foo, when foo has just been merged). The problem is that we let handle_revision_arg parse it, and then pick the pieces out of the pending object list. So "^foo" looks no different to us there than "foo".

This patch hacks around it by picking up the UNINTERESTING object in that case. However, this isn't great because:

  1. Now we won't notice some types of bogus input.

  2. We end up reporting the name of the UNINTERESTING object.

We probably should pick apart the ".." ourselves, or even just change it to ":" or whitespace.

The Crashed Starwalker (#1700)

About The Pull Request

This PR adds a beach ruin based around a ship I've previously made, called the "Starwalker"

2023 01 16-16 33 48

2023 01 16-16 35 19

it contains: some medical supplies ( oinment slurry / herbal pack / crew monitor / health scanner / charcoal bottle / misc pills ) one Swat suit one shotgun / one energy cutlass goliath cloak / military rig 3 abandoned crates 1 gold crate / one silver crate lizard wine one baby carp a radiant dance machine a sci protolathe misc salvage

Lore bit: After a "most excellent robbery that went like, totally as planned", our protagonists aboard the Starwalker fled the crime scene, with heavy damage to the ship's hull. With one of the Engine blocks almost falling off, The valiant crew decided that the best course of action would be a "Totally rad emergency landing". This, of course, ended in disaster, as the pilot was high on LSD. The pilot did however manage to steer them towards a nearby lak- sike, it's just some shallow water. Crashing directly onto the ground, the ship split into multiple fragments, Killing the pilot and crewmate, and Impaling the captain. The captain knew that he didn't have long until the bloodloss would get to him, and started moving all his treasure into a nearby cavern. THERE'S NO WAY he would die in that godforsaken ship, nor without his treasures. This is where you now find him, rotting in his "100% real Cow skin" throne (spacemart Brand Comfy chair) .

  • I affirm that I have tested all of my proposed changes and that any issues found during tested have been addressed.

more span macro changes in brain traumas and disease files (#73273)

About The Pull Request

i was fucking around with brain traumas on a downstream and noticed they had similar issues to quirks so i decided to continue work from #73116

Code_Klx14O288V (search in VSC for span class = 'notice') its going to be a bit of a thing to get all of these but this is a decent chunk i think

there was only one annoying/tough file. imaginary_friend.dm had class = 'game say' and class = 'emote' both of which after some testing did not seem like they did anything. ill try to keep that in mind in other files if i continue to do this but i either omitted them because they didnt have any formatting or, in the case of emote, turned it into name, which i think is what you'd want those messages to look like.

there were also a few small spelling errors that i fixed

fs: move S_ISGID stripping into the vfs_*() helpers

commit 1639a49ccdce58ea248841ed9b23babcce6dbb0b upstream.

[remove userns argument of helpers for 5.10.y backport]

Move setgid handling out of individual filesystems and into the VFS itself to stop the proliferation of setgid inheritance bugs.

Creating files that have both the S_IXGRP and S_ISGID bit raised in directories that themselves have the S_ISGID bit set requires additional privileges to avoid security issues.

When a filesystem creates a new inode it needs to take care that the caller is either in the group of the newly created inode or they have CAP_FSETID in their current user namespace and are privileged over the parent directory of the new inode. If any of these two conditions is true then the S_ISGID bit can be raised for an S_IXGRP file and if not it needs to be stripped.

However, there are several key issues with the current implementation:

  • S_ISGID stripping logic is entangled with umask stripping.

    If a filesystem doesn't support or enable POSIX ACLs then umask stripping is done directly in the vfs before calling into the filesystem. If the filesystem does support POSIX ACLs then unmask stripping may be done in the filesystem itself when calling posix_acl_create().

    Since umask stripping has an effect on S_ISGID inheritance, e.g., by stripping the S_IXGRP bit from the file to be created and all relevant filesystems have to call posix_acl_create() before inode_init_owner() where we currently take care of S_ISGID handling S_ISGID handling is order dependent. IOW, whether or not you get a setgid bit depends on POSIX ACLs and umask and in what order they are called.

    Note that technically filesystems are free to impose their own ordering between posix_acl_create() and inode_init_owner() meaning that there's additional ordering issues that influence S_SIGID inheritance.

  • Filesystems that don't rely on inode_init_owner() don't get S_ISGID stripping logic.

    While that may be intentional (e.g. network filesystems might just defer setgid stripping to a server) it is often just a security issue.

This is not just ugly it's unsustainably messy especially since we do still have bugs in this area years after the initial round of setgid bugfixes.

So the current state is quite messy and while we won't be able to make it completely clean as posix_acl_create() is still a filesystem specific call we can improve the S_SIGD stripping situation quite a bit by hoisting it out of inode_init_owner() and into the vfs creation operations. This means we alleviate the burden for filesystems to handle S_ISGID stripping correctly and can standardize the ordering between S_ISGID and umask stripping in the vfs.

We add a new helper vfs_prepare_mode() so S_ISGID handling is now done in the VFS before umask handling. This has S_ISGID handling is unaffected unaffected by whether umask stripping is done by the VFS itself (if no POSIX ACLs are supported or enabled) or in the filesystem in posix_acl_create() (if POSIX ACLs are supported).

The vfs_prepare_mode() helper is called directly in vfs_*() helpers that create new filesystem objects. We need to move them into there to make sure that filesystems like overlayfs hat have callchains like:

sys_mknod() -> do_mknodat(mode) -> .mknod = ovl_mknod(mode) -> ovl_create(mode) -> vfs_mknod(mode)

get S_ISGID stripping done when calling into lower filesystems via vfs_*() creation helpers. Moving vfs_prepare_mode() into e.g. vfs_mknod() takes care of that. This is in any case semantically cleaner because S_ISGID stripping is VFS security requirement.

Security hooks so far have seen the mode with the umask applied but without S_ISGID handling done. The relevant hooks are called outside of vfs_() creation helpers so by calling vfs_prepare_mode() from vfs_() helpers the security hooks would now see the mode without umask stripping applied. For now we fix this by passing the mode with umask settings applied to not risk any regressions for LSM hooks. IOW, nothing changes for LSM hooks. It is worth pointing out that security hooks never saw the mode that is seen by the filesystem when actually creating the file. They have always been completely misplaced for that to work.

The following filesystems use inode_init_owner() and thus relied on S_ISGID stripping: spufs, 9p, bfs, btrfs, ext2, ext4, f2fs, hfsplus, hugetlbfs, jfs, minix, nilfs2, ntfs3, ocfs2, omfs, overlayfs, ramfs, reiserfs, sysv, ubifs, udf, ufs, xfs, zonefs, bpf, tmpfs.

All of the above filesystems end up calling inode_init_owner() when new filesystem objects are created through the ->mkdir(), ->mknod(), ->create(), ->tmpfile(), ->rename() inode operations.

Since directories always inherit the S_ISGID bit with the exception of xfs when irix_sgid_inherit mode is turned on S_ISGID stripping doesn't apply. The ->symlink() and ->link() inode operations trivially inherit the mode from the target and the ->rename() inode operation inherits the mode from the source inode. All other creation inode operations will get S_ISGID handling via vfs_prepare_mode() when called from their relevant vfs_*() helpers.

In addition to this there are filesystems which allow the creation of filesystem objects through ioctl()s or - in the case of spufs - circumventing the vfs in other ways. If filesystem objects are created through ioctl()s the vfs doesn't know about it and can't apply regular permission checking including S_ISGID logic. Therfore, a filesystem relying on S_ISGID stripping in inode_init_owner() in their ioctl() callpath will be affected by moving this logic into the vfs. We audited those filesystems:

  • btrfs allows the creation of filesystem objects through various ioctls(). Snapshot creation literally takes a snapshot and so the mode is fully preserved and S_ISGID stripping doesn't apply.

    Creating a new subvolum relies on inode_init_owner() in btrfs_new_subvol_inode() but only creates directories and doesn't raise S_ISGID.

  • ocfs2 has a peculiar implementation of reflinks. In contrast to e.g. xfs and btrfs FICLONE/FICLONERANGE ioctl() that is only concerned with the actual extents ocfs2 uses a separate ioctl() that also creates the target file.

    Iow, ocfs2 circumvents the vfs entirely here and did indeed rely on inode_init_owner() to strip the S_ISGID bit. This is the only place where a filesystem needs to call mode_strip_sgid() directly but this is self-inflicted pain.

  • spufs doesn't go through the vfs at all and doesn't use ioctl()s either. Instead it has a dedicated system call spufs_create() which allows the creation of filesystem objects. But spufs only creates directories and doesn't allo S_SIGID bits, i.e. it specifically only allows 0777 bits.

  • bpf uses vfs_mkobj() but also doesn't allow S_ISGID bits to be created.

The patch will have an effect on ext2 when the EXT2_MOUNT_GRPID mount option is used, on ext4 when the EXT4_MOUNT_GRPID mount option is used, and on xfs when the XFS_FEAT_GRPID mount option is used. When any of these filesystems are mounted with their respective GRPID option then newly created files inherit the parent directories group unconditionally. In these cases non of the filesystems call inode_init_owner() and thus did never strip the S_ISGID bit for newly created files. Moving this logic into the VFS means that they now get the S_ISGID bit stripped. This is a user visible change. If this leads to regressions we will either need to figure out a better way or we need to revert. However, given the various setgid bugs that we found just in the last two years this is a regression risk we should take.

Associated with this change is a new set of fstests to enforce the semantics for all new filesystems.

Fix for varediting bitflags. (#2735)

About the pull request

I am honestly at a loss as to what is happening here. I do not speak HTML all too well, and at cursory reading buttons should be returning their value, which is 1, 2 and so on. But on debugging, they actually return their text (Save, Cancel), which does not proceed to work with the code receiving it. Changed that code accordingly, and then edited the values for good measure in case somebody better versed in HTML would get a heart attack from my folly.

Also, this looks ugly to me. Which button is which flag here?

image

This, in my humble opinion, is easier to read (would actually look better outside of local server messing fancy windows as is its wont):

image In the process, I confess, my HTML illiteracy broke a little something again. But we are not actually using slidecolor, so hopefully it is not actually important.

Explain why it's good for the game

Is fix.

L42A replacement with M4RA, less balance edition (#2674)

IMPORTANT NOTES PLEASE READ

THIS DOES NOT CONTAIN THE NEW AMMO AND REBALANCED L42/M4RA THAT #1485 HAD THIS DOES CONTAIN SOME BALANCE THINGS, BUT IT IS NOT ANYWHERE CLOSE TO THE ABOVE

Also lore team wanted this, plz no gbp close maintainers 🙏 🙏 🧎‍♂️ 🕋

About the pull request

Replaces L42A in all marine available sources with the M4RA, the canonical DMR of the USCM, you may notice this is currently the scout rifle, well the scout rifle is now the M4RA Custom, a version that can chamber the HV rounds that are spec ammo, but it can also chamber standard m4ra rounds, albeit doing less damage with them than a normal M4RA.

M4RA has current L42A stats fully, with the three exceptions being having no stock to attach or remove(stock was not integrated it sucked), being able to fit a/vgrip like scout m4RA, which may seem like a huge thing but L42 stats were already insane, so it doesn't effect much.

M4RA Custom(scout gun), gets L42 stats as well, with the exception of having less of a damage mult, meaning when not using the spec ammo, it is out-preformed by the standard m4RA.

Adds new M4RA sprites, both standard and custom, by triiodine

Adds sprites for all M4RA mag variants, by myself.

This was requested by lore team, previous PR of this with way more balance stuff was #1485 Ok thats about all 🙂

Explain why it's good for the game

Lore accuracy is good, and this mostly doesn't effect the actual game outside of the scout rifle changes. Also scout rifle underpreformed if you weren't omega hell sliming with inc-impact stunlocking while on fire, still will be omega hell slime central but that isn't the thing being solved in this pr , it'll do fine when NOT sliming at least now.

Testing Photographs and Procedure

It works.

Changelog

🆑 add: Adds the M4RA as the standard marine DMR, identical stats to L42 with the exception of fitting a v or agrip and no removable stock, stats still the same as l42 without stock. del: L42 from all marine accessible sources with the exception of black market balance: Scout M4RA is now the M4RA Custom, it can use standard M4RA magazines but standard M4RA cannot use custom magazines. balance: Scout M4RA now has L42/M4RA standard stats with the exception of lower damage. balance: Scout M4RA now can fit magnetic harness, laser sight, however it can no longer fit recoil compensator fix: R4T sling now has the correct color scheme on LV522 spellcheck: New desc for M4RA and L42 by misty imageadd: New M4RA icons by triio, both scout and normal /🆑

Use rich for logging, tracebacks, printing, progressbars (#2350)

Closes #1843

Hello!

Pull Request overview

  • Use rich for logging, tracebacks, printing and progressbars.
  • Add rich as a dependency.
  • Remove loguru as a dependency and remove all mentions of it in the codebase.
  • Simplify logging configuration according to the logging documentation.
  • Update logging tests.

Before & After

rich is a large Python library for very colorful formatting in the terminal. Most importantly (in my opinion), it improves the readability of logs and tracebacks. Let's go over some before-and-afters:

Printing, Logging & Progressbars

Before:

After:

Note that for the logs, the repeated information on the left side is removed. Beyond that, the file location from which the log originates is moved to the right side. Beyond that, the progressbar has been updated, ahd the URL in the printed output has been highlighted automatically.

Tracebacks

Notes

Note that there are some changes in the logging configuration. Most of all, it has been simplified according to the note from here. In my changes, I only attach our handler to the root logger and let propagation take care of the rest.

Beyond that, I've set rich to 13.0.1 as newer versions experience a StopIteration error like discussed here.

I've replaced tqdm with rich Progressbar when logging. However, I've kept the tqdm progressbar for the Weak Labeling for now.

One difference between the old situation and now is that all of the logs are displayed during pytest under "live log call" (so, including expected errors), while earlier only warnings were shown.

What to review?

Please do the following when reviewing:

  1. Ensuring that rich is correctly set to be installed whenever someone installs argilla. I always set my dependencies explicitly in setup.py like here or here, but the one for argilla is empty, and pyproject.toml is used instead. I'd like for someone to look this over.
  2. Fetch this branch and run some arbitrary code. Load some data, log some data, crash some programs, and get an idea of the changes. Especially changes to loggers and tracebacks can be a bit personal, so I'd like to get people on board with this. Otherwise we can scrap it or find a compromise. After all, this is also a design PR.
  3. Please have a look at my discussion points below.

Discussion

rich is quite configurable, so there's some changes that we can make still.

  1. The RichHandler logging handler can be modified to e.g. include rich tracebacks in their logs as discussed here. Are we interested in this?
  2. The rich traceback handler can be set up to include local variables in its traceback:
Click to see a rich traceback with local variables

image

Are we interested in this? I think this is a bit overkill in my opinion. 3. We can suppress frames from certain Python modules to exclude them from the rich tracebacks. Are we interested in this? 4. The default rich traceback shows a maximum of 100 frames, which is a lot. Are we interested in reducing this to only show the first and last X? 5. The progress bar doesn't automatically stretch to fill the full available width, while tqdm does. If we want, we can set expand=True and it'll also expand to the entire width. Are we interested in this? 6. The progress "bar" does not need to be a bar, we can also use e.g. a spinner animation. See some more info here. Are we interested in this?


Type of change

  • Refactor (change restructuring the codebase without changing functionality)

How Has This Been Tested

I've updated the tests according to my changes.

Checklist

  • I have merged the original branch into my forked branch

  • I added relevant documentation

  • follows the style guidelines of this project

  • I did a self-review of my code

  • I added comments to my code

  • I made corresponding changes to the documentation

  • My changes generate no new warnings

  • I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works

CI: Remove Carthage distractions (#990)

Carthage has this retarded tendency to build every Xcode project it sees when building dependencies. So when we do "carthage bootstrap" during example builds, it downloads dependencies (Themis repo), then proceeds to build the dependencies -- but instead of building only Themis.xcodeproj in the root, Carthage decides that after that it gotta build every other Xcode project there as well, why not. Eventually it times out and dies.

This very frustrating, but Carthage people think this is fine, multilanguage monorepos do not exist, and you should not put example Xcode projects along with the source code. One repo = One library.

Anyway. This seems to help to avoid timeouts and prevent Carthage from going on adventure. Sadly, builds still take fucking forever while Carthage fetches the repo, then fetches OpenSSL binaries, then do it again, then build Themis, then build example, then repeat that 5 more times for other examples. But at least they should not hang for 10 minutes and then die 🤞

Similar hack is applied in Bitrise builds, IIRC.

platform: always reconfigure IP routes even if removed externally

NML3Cfg is stateful, that means it remembers which address/route it configured earlier. That is important because the API users of NML3Cfg only say what the want to configure now, and NML3Cfg needs to remove addresses/routes that it configured earlier but are no longer to be present. Also, NetworkManager wants to allow the user to add addresses/routes externally with ip addr|route add and NetworkManager not removing it. This is a common use case for dispatcher scripts, but in general, we want to allow other components to add addresses/routes.

We try something similar with the removal of routes/addresses managed by NetworkManager. When NetworkManager adds a route/address, which later disappears, then we assume that the user intentionally removed the address/route and take the hint to not re-add it.

However, it doesn't work. It is problematic for two reasons:

  • kernel can automatically remove routes. For example, deleting an IPv4 address that is the prefsrc of a route, will cause kernel to delete that route. Sure, we may be unable to re-configure the route at this moment, but we shouldn't remember indefinitely that the route is supposed to be absent. Rather, we should re-add it when possible.

  • kernel is a pain with validating consistencies of routes. For example, when a route has a nexthop gateway, then the gateway must be onlink (directly reachable), or kernel refuses to add it with "Nexthop has invalid gateway". Of course, when removing the onlink route kernel is fine leaving the gateway route behind, which it would otherwise refuse to add. Anyway. Such interdependencies for when kernel rejects adding a route with "Nexthop has invalid gateway" are super non-trivial. We try to work around that by always adding the necessary onlink routes. See nm_l3_config_data_add_dependent_onlink_routes(). But if the user externally removed the dependent onlink route, and NetworkManager remembers to not re-adding it, then it will cause ripple effects and NetworkManager will also be unable to add the nexthop route.

Trying to preserve absence of routes that NetworkManager think should be there is not tenable. Don't do it anymore. There was anyway no guarantee that on the next update NetworkManager wouldn't try to re-add the route in question. For example, if the route came from DHCP, and the lease temporarily went away and came back, then NetworkManager probably would have (correctly) forgotten that the user wished that the route be absent. It did not work reliably and it just causes problems.

[MIRROR] [MDB IGNORE] Dangerous Research - The Alternate Sciences Research Center Space Ruin! (#4722)

About The Pull Request

Adds the space ruin "dangerous_research.dmm" to the game. This ruin was previously PR'd to two separate codebases -> shiptest-ss13/Shiptest#528 Skyrat-SS13/Skyrat-tg#5047 It's a fun little lore-heavy ruin. With a few dangers and some environmental storytelling, as well as a few documents detailing the events that caused the science experiment to go horribly wrong. This is absolutely the definitive version of this map, I spent a whole lot of time redesigning and remapping it to be the gold standard for space ruins.

Why It's Good For The Game

We need ruins! This one is fun, has a fun/spooky/slightly edgy story to tell, and I believe it would help bolster the few space ruins we have. Map screenshot is below! I think it's best experienced without reading the lore/seeing the map. If you're interested in experiencing the ruin in-game, I'd advise against poking around too much!

Map screenshot!

Refactor the main game loop throttling and VSYNC in editor

Refactor the main game loop throttling and VSYNC in editor. Again the fundamental problem is the same as previously, how to run the application with minimal stuttering while throttling the CPU usage. Essentially what we want is.

  • Scale the performance and CPU usage appropriately according to the workload, i.e. how many rendering windows are open.
  • Avoid tearing, i.e. showing intermediate rendering results.
  • Avoid sucking 100% of a core when there's no need, i.e. avoid busy looping.
  • Respond to any user input immediately without delay.

The simplest solution is to run the main thread without blocking but this has the problem that the thread is essentially busy looping and this ends up burning excessive CPU cycles doing nothing and subsequently draws more power than is needed. There's a need to throttle the executiong but without blocking user interactions. Previously we used a simple thread::sleep_for but obviously this creates an arbitrary blocking period which will create stutter and user visible jank at some point. I.e. it doesn't scale.

A related problem is that of using VSYNC (to avoid tearing and) to provide the heartbeat for throttling. There are two problems here.

  1. Hard to get right. Using the VBLANK (i.e. swap interval) with multiple windows is tricky since with Qt the setting applies to surfaces. This means that the setting must be set properly when the surface is created. Additionally only a single surface may ever have this property lest there be execssive waits. Other problems that play a role is here window exposure (undefined to swap on a surface that is not exposed) and whether the actual rendering surface has been created/initialized or not. Overall this route has been very buggy and difficult to get properly working.

  2. Maybe VBLANK setting is not used. The VBLANK solution cannot be used for throttling the thread when the VBLANK is not used even if it did work properly. In other words if the user setting is "disable VSYNC" then we're without any throttling solution.

  3. Bugs/edge cases preventing the use of VBLANK. If the rendering window/surface with VSYNC flag is not visible then it cannot be used to swap and sync. This means that another currently visible/exposed surface would need to be (re)created to perform the same operation. This again leads to BUGS (see 1.)

This change removes both trying to use VBLANK for synchronization and the fallback thread::sleep_for from the main thread. Instead the throttling is offloaded a secondary thread that posts a new event to the main thread's event loop at a regular interval. The main thread then simply wait for any event in the main loop and process them as soon as possible. This however means that there's now no control regarding tearing. To combat this a platform specific method is used:

  • On Windows we now try to use DmwFlush to perform some level of VBLANK sync. This is also not a perfect solution since DmwFlush can wake up too late and actually is not properly synchronized. A more elaborate way would be to try to use D3DKMTWaitForVerticalBlankEvent

  • On Linux there's no current implementation, instead the we must again fallback on a thread sleep only.

Watchdog timer examples finished, along with a small debugging library

Wow, this was a real tour de force in hardware and software

  • First, the Xilinx watchdog timer driver code is crappy and doesn't do things in a way that I think is wise.
  • The ARM documentation is unclear about this, but at least in this processor, the WDT can only be started; attempting to clear the start bit doesn't actually do so. The Xiling SDK driver has a XScuWdt_Stop() function, but it doesn't actually do anything. And because of the way that the driver code works, it tells the user that the WDT is stopped when it actually isn't. This is a real drag when you discover that the self-test function basically leaves the watchdog running in the background. I suppose if production code uses this functionality, as long as the thread that handles restarting the watchdog is stable, you'll never really notice. But it isn't by intent and it just sort of probably works for most people, which is good enough I guess.
  • Interrupt handling - this was a great opportunity to figure out how to be more complicated with interrupt handling, since the GPIO interrupt handler callback prototype (which their interrupt handler calls) needed access to the watchdog timer instance. So I had to create my ownd struct that contained all of the information necessary for the interrupt handler to do its job; was one of those "This is how it has to actually work" moments and I knew how it would need to be implemented, made some coffee, and then sat down and wrote the 10 lines of C required to actually do it and it worked the first time
  • My perception is that low level programming is not really as hard as systems programming, because you don't have to handle lots of complicated subjects. You're sort of the master of your own destiny. It also sucks if you are depending upon the layer below you and the authors of that layer are garbage. I'm going to emerge from this process in a year or so having dragged myself through an enormous portion of the Xilinx SDK and it will be interesting to see what my impression of their designers is.

BACKPORT: signal: add pidfd_send_signal() syscall

The kill() syscall operates on process identifiers (pid). After a process has exited its pid can be reused by another process. If a caller sends a signal to a reused pid it will end up signaling the wrong process. This issue has often surfaced and there has been a push to address this problem [1].

This patch uses file descriptors (fd) from proc/ as stable handles on struct pid. Even if a pid is recycled the handle will not change. The fd can be used to send signals to the process it refers to. Thus, the new syscall pidfd_send_signal() is introduced to solve this problem. Instead of pids it operates on process fds (pidfd).

/* prototype and argument /* long pidfd_send_signal(int pidfd, int sig, siginfo_t *info, unsigned int flags);

/* syscall number 424 */ The syscall number was chosen to be 424 to align with Arnd's rework in his y2038 to minimize merge conflicts (cf. [25]).

In addition to the pidfd and signal argument it takes an additional siginfo_t and flags argument. If the siginfo_t argument is NULL then pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to kill(, ). If it is not NULL pidfd_send_signal() is equivalent to rt_sigqueueinfo(). The flags argument is added to allow for future extensions of this syscall. It currently needs to be passed as 0. Failing to do so will cause EINVAL.

/* pidfd_send_signal() replaces multiple pid-based syscalls */ The pidfd_send_signal() syscall currently takes on the job of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) and parts of the functionality of kill(2), Namely, when a positive pid is passed to kill(2). It will however be possible to also replace tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) if this syscall is extended.

/* sending signals to threads (tid) and process groups (pgid) */ Specifically, the pidfd_send_signal() syscall does currently not operate on process groups or threads. This is left for future extensions. In order to extend the syscall to allow sending signal to threads and process groups appropriately named flags (e.g. PIDFD_TYPE_PGID, and PIDFD_TYPE_TID) should be added. This implies that the flags argument will determine what is signaled and not the file descriptor itself. Put in other words, grouping in this api is a property of the flags argument not a property of the file descriptor (cf. [13]). Clarification for this has been requested by Eric (cf. [19]). When appropriate extensions through the flags argument are added then pidfd_send_signal() can additionally replace the part of kill(2) which operates on process groups as well as the tgkill(2) and rt_tgsigqueueinfo(2) syscalls. How such an extension could be implemented has been very roughly sketched in [14], [15], and [16]. However, this should not be taken as a commitment to a particular implementation. There might be better ways to do it. Right now this is intentionally left out to keep this patchset as simple as possible (cf. [4]).

/* naming */ The syscall had various names throughout iterations of this patchset:

  • procfd_signal()
  • procfd_send_signal()
  • taskfd_send_signal() In the last round of reviews it was pointed out that given that if the flags argument decides the scope of the signal instead of different types of fds it might make sense to either settle for "procfd_" or "pidfd_" as prefix. The community was willing to accept either (cf. [17] and [18]). Given that one developer expressed strong preference for the "pidfd_" prefix (cf. [13]) and with other developers less opinionated about the name we should settle for "pidfd_" to avoid further bikeshedding.

The "_send_signal" suffix was chosen to reflect the fact that the syscall takes on the job of multiple syscalls. It is therefore intentional that the name is not reminiscent of neither kill(2) nor rt_sigqueueinfo(2). Not the fomer because it might imply that pidfd_send_signal() is a replacement for kill(2), and not the latter because it is a hassle to remember the correct spelling - especially for non-native speakers - and because it is not descriptive enough of what the syscall actually does. The name "pidfd_send_signal" makes it very clear that its job is to send signals.

/* zombies */ Zombies can be signaled just as any other process. No special error will be reported since a zombie state is an unreliable state (cf. [3]). However, this can be added as an extension through the @flags argument if the need ever arises.

/* cross-namespace signals */ The patch currently enforces that the signaler and signalee either are in the same pid namespace or that the signaler's pid namespace is an ancestor of the signalee's pid namespace. This is done for the sake of simplicity and because it is unclear to what values certain members of struct siginfo_t would need to be set to (cf. [5], [6]).

/* compat syscalls */ It became clear that we would like to avoid adding compat syscalls (cf. [7]). The compat syscall handling is now done in kernel/signal.c itself by adding __copy_siginfo_from_user_generic() which lets us avoid compat syscalls (cf. [8]). It should be noted that the addition of __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() is caused by a bug in the original implementation of rt_sigqueueinfo(2) (cf. 12). With upcoming rework for syscall handling things might improve significantly (cf. [11]) and __copy_siginfo_from_user_any() will not gain any additional callers.

/* testing */ This patch was tested on x64 and x86.

/* Q&A

  • Given that it seems the same questions get asked again by people who are
  • late to the party it makes sense to add a Q&A section to the commit
  • message so it's hopefully easier to avoid duplicate threads.
  • For the sake of progress please consider these arguments settled unless
  • there is a new point that desperately needs to be addressed. Please make
  • sure to check the links to the threads in this commit message whether
  • this has not already been covered. */ Q-01: (Florian Weimer [20], Andrew Morton [21]) What happens when the target process has exited? A-01: Sending the signal will fail with ESRCH (cf. [22]).

Q-02: (Andrew Morton [21]) Is the task_struct pinned by the fd? A-02: No. A reference to struct pid is kept. struct pid - as far as I understand - was created exactly for the reason to not require to pin struct task_struct (cf. [22]).

Q-03: (Andrew Morton [21]) Does the entire procfs directory remain visible? Just one entry within it? A-03: The same thing that happens right now when you hold a file descriptor to /proc/ open (cf. [22]).

Q-04: (Andrew Morton [21]) Does the pid remain reserved? A-04: No. This patchset guarantees a stable handle not that pids are not recycled (cf. [22]).

Q-05: (Andrew Morton [21]) Do attempts to signal that fd return errors? A-05: See {Q,A}-01.

Q-06: (Andrew Morton [22]) Is there a cleaner way of obtaining the fd? Another syscall perhaps. A-06: Userspace can already trivially retrieve file descriptors from procfs so this is something that we will need to support anyway. Hence, there's no immediate need to add another syscalls just to make pidfd_send_signal() not dependent on the presence of procfs. However, adding a syscalls to get such file descriptors is planned for a future patchset (cf. [22]).

Q-07: (Andrew Morton [21] and others) This fd-for-a-process sounds like a handy thing and people may well think up other uses for it in the future, probably unrelated to signals. Are the code and the interface designed to permit such future applications? A-07: Yes (cf. [22]).

Q-08: (Andrew Morton [21] and others) Now I think about it, why a new syscall? This thing is looking rather like an ioctl? A-08: This has been extensively discussed. It was agreed that a syscall is preferred for a variety or reasons. Here are just a few taken from prior threads. Syscalls are safer than ioctl()s especially when signaling to fds. Processes are a core kernel concept so a syscall seems more appropriate. The layout of the syscall with its four arguments would require the addition of a custom struct for the ioctl() thereby causing at least the same amount or even more complexity for userspace than a simple syscall. The new syscall will replace multiple other pid-based syscalls (see description above). The file-descriptors-for-processes concept introduced with this syscall will be extended with other syscalls in the future. See also [22], [23] and various other threads already linked in here.

Q-09: (Florian Weimer [24]) What happens if you use the new interface with an O_PATH descriptor? A-09: pidfds opened as O_PATH fds cannot be used to send signals to a process (cf. [2]). Signaling processes through pidfds is the equivalent of writing to a file. Thus, this is not an operation that operates "purely at the file descriptor level" as required by the open(2) manpage. See also [4].

Mapgen fixes and speedups (ignore the branch name. I'm dumb) (#1637)

About The Pull Request

Alters the structure of map/planet generation to squash some bugs and improve performance.

Previously, planet maps were generated by placing the ruin first, and THEN generating the turfs according to the map_generator datum. This has been adjusted -- now, turfs are generated WITHOUT objects such as mobs/flora, the ruin is placed, and THEN the objects are added (turfs are "populated"). In conjunction with the addition of needed AfterChange() calls to update the atmos adjacency of the generated turfs, this ensures that planet atmos acts correctly surrounding ruins.

When deleting reservations (such as the deletion of planets after undocking), all objects on the planet are rounded up in a list and qdeleted. Although this causes a small lag spike, it SHOULD prevent items from hanging out inside the edges of planets.

There's a feature to change the default baseturf of a virtual level, ZTRAIT_BASETURF, that we now use. This should cut down on the instances where a ruin on a planet is blown up and there's space underneath (might still happen on asteroids, because the baseturf there is still space; I didn't want space turfs without space as their baseturf).

Overmap encounter areas aren't global anymore (they no longer have the flag UNIQUE_AREA). Don't fucking add the flag UNIQUE_AREA to anything that should have weather in it, because if that area gets added anywhere else that actually respects the flag you'll end up with cross-planet weather, because weather code sucks. This didn't cause bugs before, because the flag wasn't respected; it will now.

The biome assoc list has been moved into the map generator datum, and all encounters now generate using a map generator that either uses a biome or replaces everything with a single turf. This prevents duplication of cave generation code and makes dynamic overmap object code slightly easier to understand.

Some systems have been altered to improve performance; many of these changes are rather small, like the changes to turf population (mob placement now uses a stack of recently-created mobs to check if there are any nearby, instead of checking everything within 12 turfs; I've yet to add ruin mobs to these stacks to avoid placing mobs near ruin mobs) or lighting objects (removed a single line that changed the color of the lighting object on init).

Starlight has been altered, so that small turf changes near space turfs don't need to check as many nearby turfs and so that large turf changes can be batched to prevent further recalculation. This is probably responsible for the biggest performance increase.

Smoothing groups are cached before sorting instead of after, to prevent sort calls on many atom inits; /tg/station uses a unit test to avoid needing to sort at runtime ever, but I couldn't figure out how to do that without larger changes or writing a unit test that attempted to instance every atom once, which would be an undertaking of its own.

Gas strings have been similarly altered, and now their interpretation defaults to copying from a cached, immutable version of the mix encoded by the string. This avoids the significant overhead caused by repeated calls to params2list(). Auxmos has a better solution to this, __auxtools_parse_gas_string(), but our current custom build of Auxmos doesn't support it.

There are a few other small changes that I'm probably forgetting about and you should yell at me to read my own fucking code and tell you what else I changed.

  • I affirm that I have tested all of my proposed changes and that any issues found during tested have been addressed.

I still need to manually check each planet type to make sure they aren't fucked up, I should probably do some proper profiling comparisons.

Why It's Good For The Game

Fewer weird bugs, things generate faster, better* code.

Changelog

🆑 fix: Ruins don't sometimes start in hard vacuum anymore; planet turfs now share atmos correctly. fix: There hopefully shouldn't be any random stray objects sitting in the edges of planets anymore. fix: Planets now (hopefully) have the correct baseturfs (more or less). When you bomb a ruin on a planet, it probably won't break through to space anymore. refactor: Planet generation has been refactored, improving performance somewhat. /🆑

  • Fix missing desc for underbarrel gas grenades

  • Anti-Materiel rifles' total ammo has been halved to account for their 2x headshot damage, similar to how the P90 and MP7 see reduced ammo despite their base damage. -- >:3's Musket does not have this total ammo reduction as it does not deal bonus headshot damage; it has been moved to the "heavy sniper" buy menu category instead as a result

🚶‍♂️Add 11 New Walking Styles (#99) 🚶‍♂️

HUGE thanks to @MadsLeander

Notes/descriptions of the walking styles:

Bigfoot (move_characters@orleans@core@) - Head hanging slightly forwards, somewhat hurting in left fot, wide with arms as if he's large, walking slow, runs crazy and fast (Used by this character in storymode: https://gta.fandom.com/wiki/Sasquatch_Roleplayer)

Coward (move_m@coward) - Hunched forward when standing still, other wise not diffrent from the default male walk.

Dave (move_characters@dave_n) - Shoulders are higher then normal walk, standing wide when still, left foot hurting when running/jogging (sprint is the default one) (Used by Dave Norton in storymode)

Femme2 (move_m@femme@) - Shoulders are "swinging", left leg is leaned on when standing still, generally can be best described as a feminine walk for male peds, run and sprint are like the default one (This is one of the avalible walks in GTA Online)

Jimmy (move_characters@jimmy) - Similar to nervous/slow (they are all from the same character afterall), but with out the nervous or slow part (walks normal speed and not tripping with legs when standing still) (Used by Jimmy, the son of Michael in storymode)

Patricia (move_characters@patricia) - Swinging with hips, straight/stiff back, run/sprint is similar to the default female one (Used by Patricia Madrazo in storymode)

Ron (move_characters@ron) - Entire body posture slightly hanging to the left, runs like an idiot, sprint is normal. (Used by Ronald "Ron" Jakowski in storymode)

Swagger2 (move_m@swagger@b) - Confident and somewhat slow walking, moving slightly to the right every so often, run an sprint is normal.

Gangster6 (move_f@gangster@ng) - Slight diffrent in walking speed, posture is noticible diffrent, arms are more straight when standing still.

Veryslow (move_m@leaf_blower) - Head looking down, walking very slowly, running with right arm as if he had a leaf blower, sprint is normal.

Flee5 (move_m@flee@c) - Similar to Flee4, but multiple diffrences like how many times he turns his head to look behind etc.

Grand Ritual: Alternate Wizard objective (Wizard Events II) (#72918)

Adds an alternate greentext objective for Wizards known as the "Grand Ritual". This was initially the gimmick of a different wizard-related antagonist downstream. I didn't get permission to port it, so I'm attaching it to regular Wizards instead.

Wizards will spawn in with a new Grand Ritual button next to their antagonist info button. Pressing it will pinpoint them towards their next Ritual Location (a randomly chosen region of the space station). Once within that location, pressing it will summon a magic circle and obliterate any dense objects which are in the way. This also puts the ability on a two minute cooldown. Clicking on the magic circle with an empty hand will begin a three-stage invocation to gather magical power. You can interrupt this invocation at any time and will resume from the last stage you completed (if you finished two stages you only need to do one more). Once you complete a ritual, a random event will be triggered based on how many rituals you have performed so far. These tend to be ones which annoy the crew in some manner, and Wizard Events are included in the list. Additionally, something weird will usually happen to the room you are in. Then you are assigned a new location and can toddle off to do it again.

Once you have done this three times, you will be picked up by the station's sensors every time you start a subsequent ritual and should expect annoyed company to come investigate. Once you have done this six times, you can finally spend all of that accumulated power on the seventh Grand Finale ritual. Completing this grants you victory at the end of the round and will have a larger, flashier effect which you can pick from a list of options, think of it like a wizard equivalent of a Traitor Final Objective or Heretic Ascension. After that you can still keep doing rituals if you want to pester the crew further by summoning more random events, you've already "won" at this point so now it's your job to make them want to go home.

I think it'd be more fun to just find out what the Finale ritual can do by seeing it happen but maintainers will probably want a list of its precise capabilities, so here it is:

Currently completing a ritual also has a chance to create Heretic Reality Tears (of both varieties, available for Heretics to eat and visible to crew) as a kind of cross-antagonist interaction which seemed to make sense to me but if this seems thematically or mechanically inappropriate it's easy to strip out.

gleam: update to version 0.27.0

ChangeLog (taken from https://gleam.run/news/v0.27-hello-panic-goodbye-try/):

Gleam is a type safe and scalable language for the Erlang virtual machine and JavaScript runtimes. Today Gleam v0.27.0 has been released, let’s take a look at what’s new. Using patterns in use expressions

The Gleam v0.25 release introduced the use expression, a feature that helps avoid “callback hell” in Gleam programs. It is quite powerful and can be used to emulate many features found in other languages such as early returns, list comprehensions, async/await, monadic do syntax, and more!

pub fn handle(req: Request) -> Response { // Return an error for non-post requests use <- when(req.method != Post, return: method_not_allowed)

// Parse the request body or return an error use json <- require_json_body(req)

// Open a database connection, closing it when we're done use conn <- database.with_connection

case database.insert(conn, json) { Ok(record) -> created_response(record) Error(err) -> bad_request_response(err) } }

One limitation of the use expression was that patterns could not be used with their assignments, only bare variables. This means you could not destructure a tuple or other data structure with them.

As of this release patterns are now supported in the use expression, for all your destructuring needs!

use #(first, second) <- some_tuple_function()

Don’t Panic!

This release introduces the panic keyword, a simple little keyword that causes the program to crash. Why would you want to do this?

Your program may not have sufficiently constrainted types to make invalid state unrepresentable. In this case you may want to use panic to crash the program when an invalid state is reached, which is often preferable than silently continuing or programming defensively.

Alternatively you may be embracing the Erlang philosophy of “let it crash” and choosing to use handle unexpected exceptional errors with an Erlang style supervision tree. This strategy is particularly effective when rapidly prototyping or in situations where there is no way to reasonably recover from an error, or client to show an error message to.

case this_should_never_fail() { Ok(value) -> continue(value)

// Oh no! Something went horribly wrong! Error(_) -> panic }

Panic is similar to the assert keyword, only it always crashes rather than conditionally. Speaking of the assert keyword… Towards a better assert

Gleam’s assert keyword is used to ensure that data matches a given pattern, crashing the program if it does not. This is useful, but using assert for this functionality means that we can’t have an assert feature that works with boolean expressions, as is commonly found in other languages.

To remedy this the pattern matching feature has been moved to this let assert syntax. The existing assert keyword has been deprecated and will later be used for a more conventional assertion feature, to be part of a larger Gleam milestone based around improving the ergonomics of testing Gleam code.

let assert Ok(value) = this_should_never_fail()

Deprecations are annoying, and nobody likes having to fix their code, so the Gleam tooling will automatically upgrade your syntax when you run gleam format or format the code in your editor. Moving beyond try

try expressions were introduced way back in v0.9 as a way of avoiding callback hell when working with functions that can either return a value or an error. Now that we have use expressions, the less general try expressions are redundant. We always prefer to have fewer ways to do the same thing in Gleam, and fewer things to have to learn, so try expressions are deprecated in this release.

A try expression can be replaced by a use expression with the then function from the gleam/result module. Once try is no longer a keyword the then function will be aliased to try.

// With try try file = open_file()

// With use use file <- then(open_file())

// After try is removed use file <- try(open_file())

This is still annoying to fix by hand, so the new gleam fix command has been created to automatically upgrade your code for you.

And that’s it! There’s also lots of other small improvements and bug fixes, so check the full release notes for more details.

Thanks

Gleam is made possible by the support of all the kind people and companies who have very generously sponsored or contributed to the project. Thank you all!

If you like Gleam consider sponsoring or asking your employer to sponsor Gleam development. I work full time on Gleam and your kind sponsorship is how I pay my bills!

[MIRROR] [MDB IGNORE] Brings the monkey back down (body horror edition/addition.) (#4701)

About The Pull Request

Let me paint you a story. A long time ago monkeys once rested their feet on the floor, this was a time of bliss and peace. But sometime around the horrors of making monkeys subtypes of humans did an atrocity occur.

image The monkeys were moved up. I thought this was bad, and alot of people on the forum tended to agree with me

image This was do to some purpose of adjusting them so it could be easier to fit item sprites onto them instead of preforming the hours of work refractoring to make the heights of the items dynamic and adjustable. A simple pixel shift may have sufficed, but you see, such a change would NEVER allow the frankensteining of monkey and human features together. This is that refractor.

In essence, the following is now true. A top_offset can now be generated for a human based on a varible on their chest and legs. By default, and as is true with human legs and chests, this variable is ZERO by default. Monkey legs and chest have NEGATIVE values proportionate and onto how much smaller their sprite is compared to humans. Other bodyparts, as well as any other accociated overlays, or clothing will automatically be offset to this axis. THIS MEANS THAT MONKEYS ARE ON THE FLOOR. But is means something else too. Something more freakish,

image What abominable monsters, unreachable by players as long as we can't stitch monkeys and humans together (oh but just wait until the feature freeze ends) Oh but you might be thinking, if legs can make a mob go down. can it make a mob

go up??

OH NO

These lads are stepping, and have been implemented solely for proof of concept as a way to flex the system I have created and remain inaccessible without admin intervention.

But really, when all is said and done, all this PR does in terms of player facing changes is move the monkey back down.

image Oh and fixed monkey husked which have been broken for who knows how long.

Why It's Good For The Game

The monkey is restored to its original position. Tools now exist to have legs and torsos of varying heights. Monkey Husking is fixed.

Changelog

🆑 itseasytosee fix: Monkeys ues the proper husk sprites. imageadd: The monkey has been moved back down to its lower, more submissive position. refactor: Your bodyparts are now dynamically rendered at a height relevant to the length of your legs and torso, what does this mean for you? Not much to be honest, but you might see a monkey pop up a bit if you cut its legs off. admin: The Tallboy is here /🆑

[MIRROR] [MDB IGNORE] Don't create abandoned airlocks with walls underneath them. (#4700)

About The Pull Request

Fixes #71504

#70237 attempted to remove this and did in some cases, however the case where the abandoned airlock is able to find an adjacent wall turf to copy the type of still fails to delete the airlock. This fixes that.

Also in my testing, the times where it failed to find a nearby wall turf to copy and spawned a default wall would leave the mapping helper visible in the round. Oops!

Why It's Good For The Game

Mapping helpers should always delete themselves when finished. The airlocks with walls under them are funny once and annoying the rest of the time. As of that older PR, this continuing to happen is regarded as a bug. Also apparently it might be required anyway for Wallening.

Changelog

🆑 fix: Maintenance tunnels should no longer sometimes contain airlocks with walls underneath them. /🆑

[MIRROR] [MDB IGNORE] Makes Shake() proc work (#4607)

About The Pull Request

Fixes #72321 Fixes #70388

The shake proc didn't work and hasn't for ages. I remember it having worked at some point, but it was quite a long time ago. I cannot guarantee that the end result here is the same as it was, the reason here being that I have no idea how this proc ever worked in the first place. My limited understanding of the animate proc implies that the previous implementation as written would never have acted as you would expect it to, but clearly at some time in the past it did work. A mystery.

As a result of the previous, possibly because the proc never did work as expected and just did something which looked vaguely correct most of the time, both the default values and the values people were passing into this proc were completely ridiculous. Why would anyone ever want to pixel shift an object with a range of 15 pixels in all directions? That's half a full tile! And why would you want it to do this for 25 seconds? So I also changed the values being passed in, because you really want pretty small numbers passed into here most of the time.

Here's a video of everything that vibrates: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0hoqmaXkKA

The exception is the v8 engine. I left this alone because it seems to try and start shaking while in your hands, which doesn't work, and I don't know how to fix that. This has potentially also never worked.

Why It's Good For The Game

Now you can see intended visual indicators for:

  • Lobstrosities charging.
  • Beepsky being EMPed.
  • The Savannah Ivanov preparing to jump.
  • The DNA infuser putting someone through the spin cycle.
  • The mystery box admin item I had no previous idea even existed (fun animations on this one).
  • Anything else which wants to use this proc to create vibrating objects in the future.

Changelog

🆑 fix: Lobstrosities and Tarantulas will once more vibrate to let you know they're about to charge at you. fix: The Savannah Ivanov will once more vibrate to let you know it's about to jump into the air. fix: The DNA infuser will now vibrate to let people know that it's busy blending someone with a dead animal. /🆑

[MIRROR] pumping your heart doesnt require to be conscious [MDB IGNORE] (#16540)

  • pumping your heart doesnt require to be conscious (#63290)

Simply removes the requirement to be conscious to pump your blood with a cursed heart. Why It's Good For The Game

Entering crit or falling asleep is basically a life sentence since you are unable to pump your blood while asleep. The player still is manually pumping it, I don't see any reason why the user has to be awake for it. This also means medical can't revive you, as you'll instantly lose all your blood before you have enough time to wake up to start pumping again. The only IC fix would be to remove your heart entirely, something most doctors wouldn't even notice. Changelog

cl fix: You can manually pump your blood while asleep/in crit, rather than instantly lose all your blood and die forever. /cl

  • pumping your heart doesnt require to be conscious
