In this pull request I've changed a ton of method signatures to reflect the more-narrow types of Species, Move# and Form; additionally, I've narrowed other large collections that stored lists of species / permitted values, and reworked them to be more performant with the latest API spaghetti that PKHeX provides. Roamer met locations, usually in a range of [max-min]<64, can be quickly checked using a bitflag operation on a UInt64. Other collections (like "Is this from Colosseum or XD") were eliminated -- shadow state is not transferred COLO<->XD, so having a Shadow ID or matching the met location from a gift/wild encounter is a sufficient check for "originated in XD".
`Moveset` struct stores 4 moves, and exposes methods to interact with a moveset.
`IndividualValueSet` stores a 6 IV template (signed).
Performance impact:
* Less allocating on the heap: Moves - (8 bytes member ptr, 20 bytes heap->8 bytes member)
* Less allocating on the heap: IVs - (8 bytes member ptr, 28 bytes heap->8 bytes member)
* No heap pointers, no need to jump to grab data.
* Easy to inline logic for checking if moves are present (no linq usage with temporary collections).
End result is faster ctor times, less memory used, faster program.
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.
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.
Handle all warnings
obviously the usage of null! could potentially be avoided if the object init wasn't such garbage, but here we are with years of old junk and lack of abstraction in the GUI project
precompute result size
set Gen5 as lumped group for common encounters
remove linq usage (besides Sum call, whatever)
GetEncounters now only filters the in-game static encounters rather than the dreamworld too, as those are already filtered by separate arrays.
since battle subway can have a maximum of 9999 for your record, it's silly to limit it to 100.
i also included some tab indexing so people can navigate the window with a keyboard, and a minor fix to the "record" labels so you can read them.
* Handle some nullable cases
Refactor MysteryGift into a second abstract class (backed by a byte array, or fake data)
Make some classes have explicit constructors instead of { } initialization
* Handle bits more obviously without null
* Make SaveFile.BAK explicitly readonly again
* merge constructor methods to have readonly fields
* Inline some properties
* More nullable handling
* Rearrange box actions
define straightforward classes to not have any null properties
* Make extrabyte reference array immutable
* Move tooltip creation to designer
* Rearrange some logic to reduce nesting
* Cache generated fonts
* Split mystery gift album purpose
* Handle more tooltips
* Disallow null setters
* Don't capture RNG object, only type enum
* Unify learnset objects
Now have readonly properties which are never null
don't new() empty learnsets (>800 Learnset objects no longer created,
total of 2400 objects since we also new() a move & level array)
optimize g1/2 reader for early abort case
* Access rewrite
Initialize blocks in a separate object, and get via that object
removes a couple hundred "might be null" warnings since blocks are now readonly getters
some block references have been relocated, but interfaces should expose all that's needed
put HoF6 controls in a groupbox, and disable
* Readonly personal data
* IVs non nullable for mystery gift
* Explicitly initialize forced encounter moves
* Make shadow objects readonly & non-null
Put murkrow fix in binary data resource, instead of on startup
* Assign dex form fetch on constructor
Fixes legality parsing edge cases
also handle cxd parse for valid; exit before exception is thrown in FrameGenerator
* Remove unnecessary null checks
* Keep empty value until init
SetPouch sets the value to an actual one during load, but whatever
* Readonly team lock data
* Readonly locks
Put locked encounters at bottom (favor unlocked)
* Mail readonly data / offset
Rearrange some call flow and pass defaults
Add fake classes for SaveDataEditor mocking
Always party size, no need to check twice in stat editor
use a fake save file as initial data for savedata editor, and for
gamedata (wow i found a usage)
constrain eventwork editor to struct variable types (uint, int, etc),
thus preventing null assignment errors
* Move pkhex.drawing calls out of form constructors
designer doesn't like it; if Main can't be designed then there's some
call that it can't process for whatever reason
* Add netcore3 targeting
Closes#2198 by adding a netcore3 build option
Closes#2391 by retaining designer functionality and net46 builds
With the approaching games, PKM sprites are a different size from the 3DS era (as already hinted by LGPE, which has 56x68). It'll be a little easier to manage with this portion of the library walled off from the rest of the codebase.
Eventually the net46 target will use fody or something to merge in these extra dependency dll's automatically to not disturb the usual exe/dll experience.
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
dual bounds check -> single check via uint cast
pkx: keep array reference for reuse in next check
format return to second line to stick out more; lines of code are cheap
:)
