There are people who didn't know Meloetta was PS's mascot! They clearly
needs to be more noticeable. And now they definitely will be.
We're now using the full Gen 5 sprite instead of the minisprite,
overlapping with the buttons, and animated on hover. This might be a
bit over-the-top, but oh well, it's only on hover.
This is probably about as much as I'll implement for now. We'll need to
deprecate the old client before we can implement any major reforms to
the formats list design.
This should be a much nicer architecture than the old
`client-battle.js`.
In particular, much of the logic of choosing moves/switches has been
moved into a new `battle-choices.ts`, with `panel-battle.tsx` only
covering the UI.
`style/STYLING.html` is now a guide of generic CSS classes that can be
used by bots and chat plugins.
CSS classes that can be used by bots and chat plugins are now in a new
`battle-log.css` (previously just a section of `battle.css`)
Several PS styling patterns (specifically, `message-log`, `option`, and
`blocklink`) have been refactored into CSS classes, so that they can
be used by bots and chat plugins (why yes, I do plan on using 2/3 of
them in the log viewer).
Past CSS has been super messy. This refactor tries to make it neater
by adhering to these rules:
- Instead of trying to use e.g. `.setmenu button` selectors (to save
`class=` on every individual list item), give up and just put
`.option` directly on list items. This drastically cuts down on all
the hacks necessary to have `.button` work inside `.setmenu`.
...That's it. That's the only change. It massively cuts down on CSS
complexity. It does slightly complicate the DOM, which I'm not a _huge_
fan of, but CSS unpredictability is nearly impossible to catch and
debug, so it's massively worth it.
These are now called `mini-window`s by the client code, and they're now
generic in the sense that any PS room can be a mini-window, not just
PMs and News.
This also adds BattleTextParser as a dependency of client-main,
removing some duplicate code in exchange for a hopefully-negligible
difference in load time.
This adds support for a Challenge menu to the new Preact client.
- New: Support for "Controls", allowing Preact to render JSX at the
bottom of chat scrollback - intended for challenge menus and battle
controls in PS Mobile.
- New: <<pm-[userid]>> and <<challenge-[userid]>> links
- New: Support for client-side commands: /j, /chall, etc
- New: PMs have a user list
Actually challenging people isn't supported yet.
