🌋 REFACTORS 🌋

📜 = Uses a migration script.

  • Refactor field moves by @cawtds in #6660
  • Refactors Final Gambit + Tests by @AlexOn1ine in #7005
  • Combines Super Fang and Guardian of Alola effects by @AlexOn1ine in #7048
  • Refactor damage calculations aruguments by using a struct context by @AlexOn1ine in #7108
  • Add damage context to effectiveness multiplier by @AlexOn1ine in #7111
  • Decouple Status set by ability from SetMoveEffect by @AlexOn1ine in #7125
  • Converted Relic Song into a proper form change by @AsparagusEduardo in #7139

  • Removed Mind Blown effect in favor of move flag by @AsparagusEduardo in #7138
  • Volatile status refactoring by @cfmnephrite in #6983
  • Bag refactor (groundwork for expansion) by @cfmnephrite in #7018
    • If you're using @ghoulslash's bag sort branch, this PR will break it
  • Stat Change (Animation) Refactor by @PhallenTree in #7144
    setgraphicalstatchangevalues and playstatchangeanimation have been removed and now Stat Change Animations are handled in statbuffchange.
    • To update your custom battle scripts:
      setgraphicalstatchangevalues is often accompanied by playanimation X, B_ANIM_STATS_CHANGE. When I refer to deleting setgraphicalstatchangevalues below, that command should also be deleted.
    1. If statbuffchange is before setgraphicalstatchangevalues/playstatchangeanimation and there is something in between them (for example, attackanimation and waitanimation), add the flag STAT_CHANGE_ONLY_CHECKING and replace the command (setgraphicalstatchangevalues/playstatchangeanimation) with a copy of the original statbuffchange.
    2. If statbuffchange is after setgraphicalstatchangevalues/playstatchangeanimation or there is nothing in between, you should delete those commands (setgraphicalstatchangevalues/playstatchangeanimation) and no further changes other than those in 3. should be required.
    3. If playstatchangeanimation had bits assigned to them (BIT_ATK | BIT_SPATK, for example), add ", " followed by those bits to the first statbuffchange; for the following statbuffchanges, remove stats that have already been increased/decreased.
  • Untangle InitBtlControllers functions by @AsparagusEduardo in #6748
  • Use battler arguments for SetMoveEffect by @AlexOn1ine in #7156
  • Easier expandability of debug menu by @AsparagusEduardo in #6910
  • Use dedicated functions for Mud/Water Sport by @AlexOn1ine in #7248
  • Expanding and Refactoring Skill Swap and other ability-changing moves by @surskitty in #7238
  • Refactor move Synchronise by @AlexOn1ine in #7271
  • Adds hazard queue by @AlexOn1ine in #7295
  • Changes AccuracyCalcHelper into CanMoveSkipAccuracyCalc by @AlexOn1ine in #7303

  • Bag refactor 2 by @cfmnephrite in #7166
  • Replaces STATUS2 usage with volatiles in code by @cfmnephrite in #7262
    • Replaced all references to STATUS2 in the code with volatiles (but left the old bitfield behind for compatibility with downstream users). The list of volatiles is in include/constants/battle.h and includes information such as an enum, a field name, type and max size, and whether or not the move is Baton Passable. Users can use VOLATILE_X with any function that previously took STATUS2_X in scripts, and can check/set volatiles in C with gBattleMons[battler].volatiles.{field name} syntax instead of checking a flag in a bitfield.

🧬 General 🧬

Added

  • New sprite compressor by @hedara90, @DizzyEggg Improved performance massively for the instruction decoding., @mrgriffin, SBird and @tertu-m who has done even more optimization and answered questions about the GBA hardware whenever I had them. and @rayrobdod for the better migration script. in #5627
    • LZDecompressVram and LZDecompressWram has been deprecated. All calls do decompress LZ compressed data should be using the wrapper functions DecompressDataWithHeaderVram or DecompressDataWithHeaderWram.
    • A new sprite compression format has been introduced. To use it, replace files with .4bpp.lz with .4bpp.smol or .4bpp.fastSmol.
    • .smol is a compression format utilizing entropy encoding in the form of tabled Asymmetric Numeral Systems (tANS) and a modified LZ style RLE/Dictionary encoding scheme specialized for the sprites used in Pokemon games. This is approximately 25% smaller than the default LZ77 compression.
    • .fastSmol skips the entropy encoding and is therefore slightly larger than the default LZ77 compression, but decoding sprites is faster than the default LZ77 compression.
    • .smolTM is a compression scheme for tilemaps.
    • Might have unexpected behavior if user introduced decompression during hardware interrupts.
    • Has a migration script that handles all files under src/, migration_scripts/1.12/convert_compressed_files.py.
