Render Plates

[Sun-Soaked]

About The Pull Request

Condenses plane masters onto a series of render plates via. which we can manipulate the entire game space, using render relay code. This will produce no playerside changes, but will be useful later for applying universal filters & simple plane manipulations(like distortions)

Also adds a new custom veneer for the ui zones on the screen

Fix checklist(unchecked items need to be fixed still)

• Fully black screen(everything missing)
• Ominous void instead of hud
• Hud layering broken
• Floor plane missing
• Lighting broken
• Missing mob (actually it's below all game planes)
• Fix AA and darkness duplicating when going up and down z's
• Fix fullscreen stuff like ship map
• Make the distortion plane actually work
• Fix offset: Currently shifted down by 3 and over to the left by one
• Examine displays 3 tiles vertically(instead of just examined tile)
• Fix parallax
• Fix ghost layering
• Fix mobs layering above openspace
• Fix buggy unrendered game space inside ui offset(will probably just cover with a UI element)
• Weather

Why It's Good For The Game

First we render. then we plate

Testing

fixing ongoing

Changelog

🆑
add: ports some visual effect procs on atom, related to filters & distortion mask
add: The ui expanded sections of the screen now have a custom veneer instead of just darkness
code: "ports" render plates from tg(I had to pretty heavily mess with it)
code: adds a text file, ported from tg, explaining byond's render pipeline and the premise of render plates
code: ports the distortion plane
code: humans, guns, and tools now have KEEP_TOGETHER, meaning they their end-point render will be one image (used for making filters, etc. respect overlays). This should not break anything, but keep an eye out

parallax whitifier is broken but it doesn't seem to really do anything. Off to testing it goes
