Rewrites a good amount of legality APIs pertaining to:
* Legal moves that can be learned
* Evolution chains & cross-generation paths
* Memory validation with forgotten moves
In generation 8, there are 3 separate contexts an entity can exist in: SW/SH, BD/SP, and LA. Not every entity can cross between them, and not every entity from generation 7 can exist in generation 8 (Gogoat, etc). By creating class models representing the restrictions to cross each boundary, we are able to better track and validate data.
The old implementation of validating moves was greedy: it would iterate for all generations and evolutions, and build a full list of every move that can be learned, storing it on the heap. Now, we check one game group at a time to see if the entity can learn a move that hasn't yet been validated. End result is an algorithm that requires 0 allocation, and a smaller/quicker search space.
The old implementation of storing move parses was inefficient; for each move that was parsed, a new object is created and adjusted depending on the parse. Now, move parse results are `struct` and store the move parse contiguously in memory. End result is faster parsing and 0 memory allocation.
* `PersonalTable` objects have been improved with new API methods to check if a species+form can exist in the game.
* `IEncounterTemplate` objects have been improved to indicate the `EntityContext` they originate in (similar to `Generation`).
* Some APIs have been extended to accept `Span<T>` instead of Array/IEnumerable
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.
* Track a PKM's Box,Slot,StorageFlags,Identifier metadata separately
Don't store within the object, track the slot origin data separately.
Batch editing now pre-filters if using Box/Slot/Identifier logic; split up mods/filters as they're starting to get pretty hefty.
- Requesting a Box Data report now shows all slots in the save file (party, misc)
- Can now exclude backup saves from database search via toggle (separate from settings preventing load entirely)
- Replace some linq usages with direct code
* Remove WasLink virtual in PKM
Inline any logic, since we now have encounter objects to indicate matching, rather than the proto-legality logic checking properties of a PKM.
* Use Fateful to directly check gen5 mysterygift origins
No other encounter types in gen5 apply Fateful
* Simplify double ball comparison
Used to be separate for deferral cases, now no longer needed to be separate.
* Grab move/relearn reference and update locally
Fix relearn move identifier
* Inline defog HM transfer preference check
HasMove is faster than getting moves & checking contains. Skips allocation by setting values directly.
* Extract more met location metadata checks: WasBredEgg
* Replace Console.Write* with Debug.Write*
There's no console output UI, so don't include them in release builds.
* Inline WasGiftEgg, WasEvent, and WasEventEgg logic
Adios legality tags that aren't entirely correct for the specific format. Just put the computations in EncounterFinder.
More in line with modernizing the codebase with latest c# syntax
improve web-qr decode speed slightly (no linq skiptake)
get money/coin mask without a temporary string (lol performance)
Extract Species Name logic to SpeciesName
Extract Language logic to Language
Remove FormConverter wrapper for string[] fetch
Rearrange some logic to more appropriate locations, update access
modifiers / types
Move some pkm array methods to arrayutil, make generic
PKX.GetVCLanguage was a dupe of _K12.GuessedLanguage() so just expose
the method
PKX is now back to pkm data manip only
split some methods with optional parameters=null
add more xmldoc
replace some magic numbers -> enum/const references
consolidate common array operations (span soon maybe?)
