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.
Closes#3177
Format sizes are now accurate to game structure sizes. Added a few more editable fields, rid of label/textbox/etc for general base editing -- use a PropertyGrid instead.
Feels nice having a bank of saves to reference + idb to discover the struct layout.
Retain a stringbuilder to mutate the string rather than finalizing temporary strings
yields some speed improvements (less gen0 string objects allocated)
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
Closes#2840 -- access via Block Editor "Encount"
Tons of undecipherable junk in the roamer struct; looks like a mishmash of past gen code repurposed for their pseudo-stationary|roamer encounter.
ORAS has the same structure (same size/block), but the roamer portion isn't used
All logic in PokeCrypto is separate from the rest of the PKHeX.Core
library; makes it easy to just rip this portion out and reuse in other
projects without needing the entirety of PKHeX.Core logic
optimize out the CheckEncrypted to the actual path, separate methods.
Only usages of this method were with hardcoded Format values, so no
impact
