angle_inbetweenChecks if an angle is between two other angles
angle_to_dirTransforms a given angle to a cardinal/ordinal direction
angle_to_vectorTransforms a given angle to vec2 in a list
animate_spaghettificationAnimate being stretched and spun around a point. Looks best when combined with a distortion map. Note that the resulting dummy object is added to center.vis_contents and deleted when done. atom/A is the thing to spaghettify. Note this proc does not delete A, you must handle that separately atom/center is the central atom around which to spin, usually the singulo spaget_time is how long to run the animation. Default 15 seconds. right_spinning is whether to go clockwise or anti-clockwise. Default true. client/C is to show the spaghetti to only one client, or null to show it to everybody. Default null.
applyCableMaterialsYes hello apparently we need a proc for this because theres a million types of different wires and cables.

cmp_minimap_modifiersCompare the priority of two minimap render modifiers.
color_mapping_matrixTakes two lists, inp=list(i1, i2, i3), out=(o1, o2, o3). Creates a color matrix which maps color i1 to o2, i2 to o2, i3 to o3. (Ignores alpha values.) Keep the i1, i2, i3 vectors linearly independent. The colors can be either be color hex strings or lists as returned from hex_to_rgb_list. You need to supply all arguments. If you don't care about the third just set i3 = o3 to something linearly independent of i1 and i2.
command2listCommand2list is a modified version of dd_text2list() designed to eat empty list entries generated by superfluous whitespace. It also can insert shell alias/variables if provided with a replacement value list.
concrete_typesof[/proc/typesof()] but only for concrete (not abstract) types, it caches the result so you don't need to worry about doing that manually so subsequent calls on the same type will be very fast.

Text messages: 1: alert | 2: alert (chatbox) | 3: alert acknowledged (chatbox) | 4: no longer eligible (chatbox) | 5: waited too long (chatbox) for_antag indicates that we are polling for an antag role and so should exclude antag-banned players

fake_bloodHelper procs
filename_from_pathGets the filaname from a filesystem path. Optionally strips extension too
filter_is_character_setup_ringtonetype filter for ringtones that're suposed to be selectable at roundstart
filtered_concrete_typesofThe same thing but now you can filter the types using a proc. Also cached. The filter proc takes a type and should return 1 if we want to include it and 0 otherwise. That proc should also be pure (always return the same thing for the same arguments) because of the caching. If you want to use non-pure proc do the filtering manually yourself and don't use this. Note that the first call to filtered_concrete_typesof with a given type and filter will be (possibly a lot) slower than doing it manually. The benefit of this proc only shows itself for future calls which are very fast due to caching.

For example a mob holding a reference to its trinket. In that case it doesn't make sense to prevent garbage collection of the trinket. If the trinket gets destroyed in-game we are fine if this weak reference to the trinket turns to null.
gradientTextRepeat a gradient between two colors across text. Note: This is inaccurate because its a linear transformation, but human eyes do not perceive color this way.

Keep the i1, i2, i3 vectors linearly independent. The colors can be either be color hex strings or lists as returned from hex_to_rgb_list. You need to supply all arguments.

filter_is_character_setup_ringtone

type filter for ringtones that're suposed to be selectable at roundstart

filtered_concrete_typesof

The same thing but now you can filter the types using a proc. Also cached. The filter proc takes a type and should return 1 if we want to include it and 0 otherwise. That proc should also be pure (always return the same thing for the same arguments) because of the caching. If you want to use non-pure proc do the filtering manually yourself and don't use this. Note that the first call to filtered_concrete_typesof with a given type and filter will be (possibly a lot) slower than doing it manually. The benefit of this proc only shows itself for future calls which are very fast due to caching.

Example:

proc/filter_is_syndicate(type)
	var/obj/fake_instance = type
	return initial(fake_instance.is_syndicate)

var/syndie_thing_type = pick(filtered_concrete_typesof(/obj/item, /proc/filter_is_syndicate))

get_one_match

get_one_match attempts to find a type match for a given object. The function allows customization of the base type, whether to use concrete types, whether to use only admin spawnable, the comparison procedure, and the sort limit. The function sorts the matches if a comparison procedure is provided and if the sort limit condition allows it, then it presents a list of matches for the user to choose from.

@param object This is the object for which the function is attempting to find a match.

@param base This is the base type used for matching. All results will be of this type tree.

@param use_concrete_types determines whether the function should respect concrete types for matching.

@param only_admin_spawnable This boolean value determines whether the function should only consider objects that are spawnable by an admin.

@param cmp_proc This is the comparison proc used for sorting matches. This should be a proc that takes two arguments and returns a boolean. The default value is null, indicating no comparison procedure is used. If cmp_proc is provided and the number of matches is within the sort_limit, the matches will be sorted using cmp_proc.

@param sort_limit This parameter defines the upper limit for the number of items to consider during the matching process. If the number of matches exceeds sort_limit, they will not be sorted even if cmp_proc is provided. If sort_limit is 0 or null, there will be no limit and matches will be sorted if cmp_proc is provided.

@return Returns the path of the selected match if one is chosen. If no matches are found, null is returned. If the operation is cancelled, FALSE is returned.

Usage: var/datum/fart/sassy/F = new get_top_parent(F, /datum) //returns a path to /datum/fart

get_type_typeinfo

Retrieves the typeinfo datum for a given type.

Example:

	if(!typeinfo.admin_spawnable)
		continue
	valid_types += type

Returns a path of a (presumably) valid uplink dependent on the user's mind.

Arguments:

get_weakref

Gets a weak reference to the given datum. This is a basically a reference that will not prevent garbage collection of the datum. Useful when you don't want to "own" the datum in question. For example a mob holding a reference to its trinket. In that case it doesn't make sense to prevent garbage collection of the trinket. If the trinket gets destroyed in-game we are fine if this weak reference to the trinket turns to null.

You need to use [/datum/weakref/proc/deref] to get the datum from the weak reference.

gradientText

Repeat a gradient between two colors across text. Note: This is inaccurate because its a linear transformation, but human eyes do not perceive color this way.

In other words, it's as if the range [from_index,to_index) have been rotated using a <<< operation common to other languages.

from_index and to_index must be in the range [1,L.len+1] Preserves associations

placeAllPrefabs

placeAllRandomRooms

Similar to the prefab runtime checker. The following text is mostly plagiarised from PrefabRuntimeChecker.dm

The proc places all random rooms on the map, at (3, 3, 1). It overwrites existing objects, mobs, and turfs when doing so. This proc will only work correctly if RUNTIME_CHECKING is defined, as some turfs cannot be replaced using turf/proc/ReplaceWith() and RUNTIME_CHECKING fixes this.

Do not use this proc on a live server.

If you run it locally do not move your mob into the location turfs are being placed (your client will be qdel'd).

This proc was designed to be used with totally blank maps, where every tile is either space or trench.

Prefabs are found by looking for concrete types of /datum/mapPrefab/random_room. To add a new prefab to be checked, simply create a type for it.
