Existing `get`/`set` logic is flawed in that it doesn't work on Big Endian operating systems, and it allocates heap objects when it doesn't need to.
`System.Buffers.Binary.BinaryPrimitives` in the `System.Memory` NuGet package provides both Little Endian and Big Endian methods to read and write data; all the `get`/`set` operations have been reworked to use this new API. This removes the need for PKHeX's manual `BigEndian` class, as all functions are already covered by the BinaryPrimitives API.
The `StringConverter` has now been rewritten to accept a Span to read from & write to, no longer requiring a temporary StringBuilder.
Other Fixes included:
- The Super Training UI for Gen6 has been reworked according to the latest block structure additions.
- Cloning a Stadium2 Save File now works correctly (opening from the Folder browser list).
- Checksum & Sanity properties removed from parent PKM class, and is now implemented via interface.
Big thanks to @SciresM @sora10pls @Lusamine @architdate @ReignOfComputer for testing and contributing code / test cases. Can't add co-authors from the PR menu :(
Builds will fail because azure pipelines not yet updated with net6.
* Exploration: rework ability criteria to ability numbers desired
* Sync remaining changes
* Update EncounterCriteria.cs
* Add xmldoc
* Improve speed of IsDualGender check
* More xmldoc updates
Should be doing this on main but meh, this branch is gonna get merged later
* Fix typo
* Update WC7.cs
* Update PersonalInfo.cs
The static constructor setup methods don't need to be maxSpecies aware, they always succeed. So just remove the self-imposed-safe bounds checks by accessing & mutating the table directly.
AltForm & Form & Forme => Form
GenNumber & Generation => Generation
Extract out SpeciesForm interface, and re-add IGeneration
For those using PKHeX as a dependency, this should be a pretty straightforward manual replacement... GenNumber and AltForm should be quick find-replace`s.
Change Ability array to IReadOnlyList, add method to check ability index in personal data
Suppress some message warnings
Change EvolutionChain short-circuit for VC to jump from gen6 directly down to gen2. There aren't any notradeback 1 situations, so a notradeback1 will always start with g=1, so no need for the other if-continue.
Simplify pk5 conversion
split some methods with optional parameters=null
add more xmldoc
replace some magic numbers -> enum/const references
consolidate common array operations (span soon maybe?)
sav1: assign personal table based on (detected/provided) version
catchrate editor: allow to use savefile personal
remove gb era prompt whenever gb/blank loaded; have it as a setting (can
be overridden for VC now). keep allowgbera as autodetect
personaltable: track format for debugging purposes/info
update translations
don't bother converting to pkm then generating the sprite off that; use
the overload with int/bool
removes sav/pkm dependency for generating gift descriptions, and
standardizes the names a little. maybe a PKMBase interface would be
useful...
Copied binaries from sm, references set up for saving time later
I assume not much will change in terms of structures, so it should just
be a file replacement & filling in static encounter table => 'working'
legality checks
personalinfo setup wasn't populating info for form indexes
remove erroneous pid-type mismatch message on gen3/4 non-matching if
there are no deferred encounters
Rewrote showdown set exporting to be much clearer, added auto-fixing of
relearn moves when importing showdown set (applies suggested relearn
moves)
Simplified main form loading routine (from ~160 to ~25 by extracting
methods)
exercise in deferred execution/state machine, only calculate possible
matches until a sufficiently valid match is obtained. Previous setup
would try to calculate the 'best match' and had band-aid workarounds in
cases where a subsequent check may determine it to be a false match.
There's still more ways to improve speed:
- precalculate relationships for Encounter Slots rather than iterating
over every area
- yielding individual slots instead of an entire area
- group non-egg wondercards by ID in a dict/hashtable for faster
retrieval
reworked some internals:
- EncounterMatch is always an IEncounterable instead of an object, for
easy pattern matching.
- Splitbreed checking is done per encounter and is stored in the
EncounterEgg result
- Encounter validation uses Encounter/Move/RelearnMove/Evolution to
whittle to the final encounter.
As a part of the encounter matching, a lazy peek is used to check if an
invalid encounter should be retained instead of discarded; if another
encounter has not been checked, it'll stop the invalid checks and move
on. If it is the last encounter, no other valid encounters exist so it
will keep the parse for the invalid encounter.
If no encounters are yielded, then there is no encountermatch. An
EncounterInvalid is created to store basic details, and the parse is
carried out.
Breaks some legality checking features for flagging invalid moves in
more detail, but those can be re-added in a separate check (if
splitbreed & any move invalid -> check for other split moves).
Should now be easier to follow the flow & maintain 😄
