About The Pull Request

Adds an antag and security combined OOC channel, and an emoji. Also, ghosts can see SOOC, AOOC and backstage unless they disable OOC sight.

Why It's Good For The Game

It was requested of me to add a combined antag and security OOC channel. It makes sense to coordinate RP better.
I personally find the formatting to be improved, and I think its fun for ghosts to see the OOC channels. After all, it just helps them know what they're getting into may they wish to join.

+GLOBAL_LIST_INIT(sooc_job_lookup, list(
+	JOB_CAPTAIN = TRUE,
+	JOB_HEAD_OF_SECURITY = TRUE,
+	JOB_WARDEN = TRUE,
+	JOB_DETECTIVE = TRUE,
+	JOB_SECURITY_OFFICER = TRUE,
+	JOB_COMMAND_BODYGUARD = TRUE,
+	))


there's an argument to be made about adding the sophont resources officer, cause they're supposed to mediate/negotiate with security in a bunch of situations

also, I just realized, it's kinda awkward that the captain gets access to this but like acting captains don't really, do they? honestly unsure how best to fix that.
the Easy one would be "all command" for backstage, but that'd include a bunch of like non acting captain people-- but like there's an argument to be made for including all command in backstage anyway, cause it Will be all of their problems too if anything meaningful enough goes down

I feel we gotta commit to calling this backstage in code, rather than flip flopping on asooc or backstage

+		var/color = (!anon && CONFIG_GET(flag/allow_admin_ooccolor) && iterated_client?.prefs?.read_preference(/datum/preference/color/ooc_color)) ? iterated_client?.prefs?.read_preference(/datum/preference/color/ooc_color) : GLOB.backstage_color[red_or_blue]
+		var/name = (mode == LISTEN_ADMIN && anon) ? "([key])[keyname]" : keyname
+		var/chat_icon = (is_admin(mob.client) && !GLOB.deadmins[mob.client?.ckey]) ? icon2html(MODULAR_EMOJI_SET, world, "dolphin") : icon2html(red_or_blue == ASOOC_RED ? EMOJI_SET : MODULAR_EMOJI_SET, world, red_or_blue == ASOOC_RED ? "pop" : "blorbo")
+		to_chat(iterated_client, span_oocplain("<font color='[color]'> [chat_icon] <EM>[name]</EM> says, <b><span class='message linkify'>[msg]</span></b></font>"))


this should probably also use the span_[X](...) type defines
https://github.com/DopplerShift13/DopplerShift/blob/master/code/__DEFINES/span.dm
<EM> iirc is span_italic(...), <b> being span_bold(...), the message and linkify ones also being their own ones
probably a bit awkward here, but like, we're setting the name var directly above anyway
I'd probably do

var/namepart = span_italic(name) var/msgpart = span_bold(span_message(span_linkify(msg))) to_chat(iterated_client, span_oocplain("<font color='[color]'> [chat_icon] [namepart] says, [msgpart]</font>"))

or y'know make out own span_backstage(...) define for this so we can have msgpart = span_backstage(msg) instead of this mess

am i tripping or like doesn't as anything let you do

for(var/client/iterated_client as anything in listeners)

nitpick: var/listening_mode

 		var/list/extra = icon_states(icon(MODULAR_EMOJI_SET))
 		emoji_list |= extra


doesn't this Still have the issue of adding to a static list every time the program is created?

+	hotkey_keys = list("ShiftO")
+	name = BACKSTAGE_CHANNEL
+	full_name = "Backstage OOC (SAOOC)"


and here we say SAOOC instead of ASOOC or Backstage
probably just edit this to "Backstage OOC (Antag/Sec)" parallel to the verb's naming scheme

has been working great. I believe there are some additions of Command and the AI being added, which would seal the deal on this PR.

Lovely work as usual Carpo.

Some feedback I've heard from the community, primarily features.

A toggle in the settings menu that lets you see the obfuscated names of Antags instead of their name. Some say that they have difficulty with ignoring the OOC knowledge of who an antag is, so this would aid with that. Uncertain of the difficulty.
A more important one, Cantina Guests are not included in the backstage. This is likely because they do not have the "Antag" faction tag (as they aren't given TC). Could they be added as well.

These are primarily QOL suggestions, there is no obligation to-do them.
Thank you for the great work Carpo, you never fail to impress. ❤️
