`makeLoadTracker` is deprecated in favor of `PSObservable` in the new
client, and has no reason to remain in battle-dex, which is now has a
specific role rather than its previous role as "random useful
functions".
This isn't a really serious CAPTCHA, somebody specifically targetting
Showdown will evade it. However, it is an obstacle for blind people,
so an alternative text-only CAPTCHA was introduced.
Honestly, the CSS solution was really cool. It was just incompatible
with the new system. It also had enough other flaws (like, bad
accessibility) that I don't feel _too_ bad about ripping it out.
The new version is less code, anyway, although it does have the flaw of
needing to replay the battle if you turn nicknames on or off.
Fortunately, that should be a rare enough occurrence not to be a big
deal.
All battle text messages have been moved out of `src/battle.ts` and
into its own file `data/text.js`.
Code for handling this is in the new files `src/battle-log.ts` and
`src/battle-text-parser.ts`.
`data/text.js` is now extremely self-contained, and nearly ready for
translation support!
This is a significant modernization of battle.ts. In addition to moving
messages out:
Functions for getting names (`pokemon.getLowerName()` etc) have been
removed.
`battle.minorQueue` has been removed. Minor lines are now processed
directly on the main queue, with a new `battle.waitForAnimations`
flag to decide whether or not the main queue should wait for animations
to finish before moving on to the next line.
`battle.waitForResult()` and `battle.endPrevAction()` have been
removed. These confusingly-named functions closed the messagebar (and
flush the minor queue). They've been replaced with
`scene.maybeCloseMessagebar()`.
`pokemon.markMove()` and `pokemon.markAbility()` have been renamed
`pokemon.rememberMove()` and `pokemon.rememberAbility()`.
This splits battle-dex.ts up into:
- `battle-dex.ts`
- dex data access, misc tools
- `battle-log.ts`
- manipulating HTML, especially in battle logs
This turned out to be a pretty significant portion of what was
previously battle-dex.
This makes how classes are defined in the client less consistent
than before, but the new client, which doesn't have this problem, is
well underway, so this isn't a big deal in the long term.
PS the server will ignore all messages above ~150 KB. To protect against
DoS attacks, this is done silently, with no response at all.
Note that this is is not at all a problem for normal teams with 6
Pokemon, which come in at around 1KB.
Users sometimes make a mistake and send corrupt teams above this limit,
such as an import error causing a team with 1000 Pokemon or whatever.
This used to happen silently, confusing users and causing them to retry,
but this change gives it an error message.
The username on the password field is now a visible read-only textbox,
instead of a hidden textbox.
This is apparently required for Chrome to realize that it's a username
field for the purposes of its password manager.
