In addition to the Method 1 (and other sibling PIDIV types) correlation, an encounter can only be triggered if the calls prior land on the Method {1} seed. The RNG community has dubbed these patterns as "Method J" (D/P/Pt), "Method K" (HG/SS), and "Method H" (Gen3, coined by yours truly). The basic gist of these is that they are pre-requisites, like the Shadow locks of Colosseum/XD.
Rename/re-type a bunch of properties to get the codebase more in line with correct property names & more obvious underlying types.
Closes#4128
I don't want to decipher to manual interactions to the Battle Frontier structures now. Prints were just work values, and fly flags were event flags.
With the new version of Visual Studio bringing C# 12, we can revise our logic for better readability as well as use new methods/APIs introduced in the .NET 8.0 BCL.
* Refactor Gen 4 extra blocks

Pokewalker: defer match if shiny
Jacq egg: recognize unhatched egg, traded
sv-pokedex-old: don't add rows for >1010 species (out of range)
static9: correctly flag scale mismatch
SAV4HGSS: expose pokegear #'s as span instead of alloc
Adds a basic editor for recorded Geonet/Unity Tower locations for the Gen 4/5 games, building on this [post by Danius88](https://projectpokemon.org/home/forums/topic/62055-bw-b2w2-unity-tower-geonet-and-passerby-research/).
So far, I've implemented buttons that set all locations (including unused ones), set all legal locations, and clear all recorded locations; and checkboxes to toggle whether the whole globe is visible (used in Japanese games) and whether the ferry to Unity Tower is unlocked.
Haven't implemented any UI for editing the status of individual locations, since I'm not sure how to lay it out.
Also haven't implemented anything related to how the data of the other players in Unity Tower is stored.
Instead of allocating a buffer for Storage/General, just point within the raw Data, as a Memory<byte> reference. Most of the uses were already using it as span.
Runtime/jit repoints these to the dll rather than heap if we're Little Endian (always, otherwise will allocate like before).
Eliminates quite a few static constructors, so even faster startup. Items later.
Updates from net46->net7, dropping support for mono in favor of using the latest runtime (along with the performance/API improvements). Releases will be posted as 64bit only for now.
Refactors a good amount of internal API methods to be more performant and more customizable for future updates & fixes.
Adds functionality for Batch Editor commands to `>`, `<` and <=/>=
TID/SID properties renamed to TID16/SID16 for clarity; other properties exposed for Gen7 / display variants.
Main window has a new layout to account for DPI scaling (8 point grid)
Fixed: Tatsugiri and Paldean Tauros now output Showdown form names as Showdown expects
Changed: Gen9 species now interact based on the confirmed National Dex IDs (closes#3724)
Fixed: Pokedex set all no longer clears species with unavailable non-base forms (closes#3720)
Changed: Hyper Training suggestions now apply for level 50 in SV. (closes#3714)
Fixed: B2/W2 hatched egg met locations exclusive to specific versions are now explicitly checked (closes#3691)
Added: Properties for ribbon/mark count (closes#3659)
Fixed: Traded SV eggs are now checked correctly (closes#3692)
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".
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.
