simulate-battle now has a new option: --spectate.
As a recap:
-D --debug: simulate in debug mode
-R --replay: output only the omniscient (debug) replay, rather than the
full stream
-S --spectate: output only the spectator replay, rather than the full
stream
This adds some new `data/text/` files, which are the new home for
item/move/ability descriptions, as well as in-game messages, in one
place for ease of translation.
`server/chat-commands.js` is now a directory. It's been split into
`core`, `moderation`, and `admin`. `info` and `roomsettings` from
`chat-plugins` have also moved to `chat-commands`.
Some cleanup:
- Bot commands for inserting HTML into rooms like `/adduhtml` have been
moved from `info` into `admin`.
- `/a` has been renamed `/addline`, for clarity (and also moved from
`info` into `admin`).
- Room management commands like `/createroom` and `/roomintro` were
moved to `room-settings`
- `chat-commands/admin` has been TypeScripted
`node tools/set-import [version]` can be run to create a
`@pokemon-showdown/sets` package containing sets from Smogon, usage
stats and third party sources. Some notes:
- The build is set up so that `tools/set-import/importer.ts` is
compiled to `tools/set-import/importer.js` - creating a
`.tools-dist/set-import` directory for the sole artifact was
deemed to be overkill
- The sets package is generated such that it can be used easily on
Node or in a browser (where the large set JSON can be loaded
asynchronously)
- Supported tiers/formats are mostly arbitrary - those popular
enough to have a signficant playerbase or analyses on Smogon have
been included, but additional formats can be added based on demand
- Some set information is redundant for ease of use by downstream
users: certain formes are split out and information that could
theoretically be inferred like level/ability/HP IVs are included
to simplify parsing logic and make the sets more immediately
available. This results in what should mostly be negligible
size overhead.
- In a similar vein, display versions of effect names instead of IDs
are used (name -> ID is trivial, ID -> name requires data lookup)
- All sets pass validation, provided certain simple transformations
are applied (eg. reverting `battleOnly` formes like Megas)
This tool has primarily been tested to run on Linux - running on
other platforms is not guaranteed to result in error-free output.
- The big change here is that player.userid can now be empty. You can
now fit state into RoomGamePlayer subclasses even when there are no
users associated with them.
- `game.players` has been introduced as the new canonical list of
players, including userless players. The old `game.players` has been
renamed `game.playerTable`, for clarity.
- `game.addPlayer` now returns the added player
All existing RoomGames have been updated for the new API, and
RoomBattle is now officially a RoomGame subclass.
Tournaments was also massively refactored to be properly updated for
the old API, since that never happened, and should now be a lot more
readable.
Also move mods/ to data/mods/
This makes PS more monorepo-like. The intent is to further separate
the sim and the server code, but without fully committing to splitting
the repository itself.
We now support `./pokemon-showdown start` in addition to
`./pokemon-showdown`. I'm not clear which I want to be the default
yet.
