existing logic had been overwriting the inner error messages with the
generic fail message
Remove backwards conversion precondition check; the ConvertPKM method
has no branches that allow conversion so it'll naturally fail -- end
result is the same with less upfront logic.
Removes empty trashbyte array allocation (less objects)
Change int[] to byte[] (less filesize/mem) (-256*6)
Change int[] to ushort[], precompute reverse table in saved space
removes dictionary lookup for array index fetch (faster, less memory, no
temp obj allocations!)
could make the ushort[] arrays into byte[] by changing them to be value
shifts? Not worth saving filesize for cpu.
reduces loading time (don't have to allocate conversion arrays when
launching a gen7 game), and separates things to easier to manage
locations
reworks gen3 string encode/decode, no longer does 3->4->5 and 5->4->3;
instead goes straight to the end result without an intermediary format.
String sanitization should probably be broken up rather than reused, oh
well.
PK2 doesn't like getting passed null for the byte[] parameter (rightly
so); don't depend on the src code order having the first constructor
being the one with the least arguments
fix it in pk1/2 so that the first constructor has the least args, anyway
remove Identifier param. 99% of the time, identifier is not provided,
resulting in a useless call
end result:
provide 'create new' and 'create from' constructors
hide setters for LegalInfo outside assembly (shouldn't overwrite the
stored values)
update GenNumber to Gen* if appropriate; GenNumber checks for first Gen*
to match, is a little more explicit and quicker than calling twice when
checking a range
Set default values to prevent any properties from being null
extract ClearNickname logic for hot path & reusable method
extract item conversion and move to appropriate logic class
be explicit that the string is empty rather than possibly missing
disallow encrypted export for BK4 (they're not encrypted), removes type
check
simplify replaceall in showdownset (don't call ReplaceAll 4x, just get
valid chars and rebuild)
simplify get ribbon sprite name (precompute ToLower and appended values
showdownset: contains char instead of string
gameinfo: static readonly array instead of redefining new on update
legality: order of operation / value reuse / simplification / comments
pkx: compare char instead of single character string
header/footer: move assignment into method as an out instead of ref
don't continue; instead seek forward
#2235 part 1, need surgery for part 2 (starter/locked prevents writing
data to the slot, but the slot can still be swapped)
remove linq for characteristic calc (get max IV) and others
remove some reliance on new[] for iv/ev
pk5 replace bitmagic with property get->set copy for cleanliness
Make extrabytes a pkm property (don't mutate array pls)
reconfigure startup loading to only initialize after initial load of sav
& pkm (using blanks if not provided)
2d array -> 1d
skip copy by cloning instead
eliminate %24 (number is 0-31) by duplicating 0-7 as 24-31
dropping a modulo, >1 bounds check, and a half loop unroll should be
less cpu cycles :)
Starter Pikachu & Eevee have different growth rates than their base
forms (seriously WHY?)
remove old api surface in PKX as a breaking change as adding the
parameter is necessary.
LGPE uses a list of pkm for boxes, and has pointers indicating where
each party member is at
need some logic for handling the sorting. Had suspected this a while
back so this pre-work came in handy (untested tho)
make eventflags offset ptr virtual, I might end up doing things
differently for event flags
Update comments / xmldoc
Add a savefile storage compressor (ie array[] with empty interstitials
-> list); return true if the compression moved anything (repopulate
views), and the count of occupied slots in the list.
Add saveblock base class; I haven't really liked how SAV6/7 do all the
logic; I'll still expose properties that will then point to a saveblock.
Cuts down clutter.
Add template Dex manipulator, with gen6/7 implementations
Speculate sequential gp/ge gameversion IDs
Check max case for level first, then iterate upwards (eliminates inner
if)
change wc* nature to sbyte (update comparisons, 0xFF too magic-y)
use Rand.Next(x) instead of (0, x)
