Describe the issue

I often give my shoes to servants to polish (That being the basic 'wet rag' polish), and they almost always without fail, cannot actually do it, despite me being able to easily polish them mere moments later. Recently a head servant made the realization where the issue was; you can only shine shoes while being barefoot.

Said head servant also tried to shine them with fat, and I myself have tried shining with a bucket, soap, and all the accoutrements, but both of us failed.

Additionally, normal polishing seems to disapear almost instantly on armored boots.

How to reproduce

Spawn some boots. Put on the booots
Spawn another pair of boots. Try to polish.
If you fail, embrace baothtan thought and remove your own boots, and try to polish again.

To fix the issue of being unable to shine shoes while wearing shoes yourself and the impossibility of deluxe shining, we need to modify the code that handles shoe polishing.

The issue lies in the fact that the game checks if the player is wearing shoes before allowing them to polish another pair. We need to remove this check or modify it to allow polishing while wearing shoes.

After reviewing the provided test merges, I couldn't find any specific code changes that directly address this issue. However, I can provide a general solution that should fix the problem.

File: code/modules/shoe_polishing.dm
Line changes:

1. Open the shoe_polishing.dm file and navigate to the polish_shoes procedure.
2. Comment out or remove the line that checks if the player is wearing shoes:

// if (usr.wearing_shoes)
//     return "You can't polish shoes while wearing shoes yourself."

3. Add a new line to allow deluxe polishing:

+ if (deluxe_polish)
+     // Apply deluxe polish effects
+     // ...

Alternative solution:

If the above solution doesn't work, we can try modifying the can_polish_shoes procedure to ignore the player's current footwear:

/proc/can_polish_shoes(mob/user, obj/item/shoes/to_polish)
    // ...
    // Remove the check for user's footwear
    // if (user.wearing_shoes)
    //     return FALSE
    // ...
    return TRUE

Commit message:
Fix shoe polishing issue: allow polishing while wearing shoes and add deluxe polishing

Pull request:

Create a new pull request with the above changes and submit it to the Vanderlin repository. Make sure to include a clear description of the changes and the issue being fixed.

Example commit:

git add code/modules/shoe_polishing.dm
git commit -m "Fix shoe polishing issue: allow polishing while wearing shoes and add deluxe polishing"
git push origin fix-shoe-polishing

This should fix the issue and allow players to polish shoes while wearing shoes themselves, as well as enable deluxe polishing.
