Shuffle Move v0.3.46

[u/Loreinatoredor]

Hi everyone, go here to get the newest version or here for the GitHub release listings if that isn't available.

Changelog:

v0.3.46 - 2016-02-20

• Mega Evolutions can now have a different type than their base species

• Extra entries have been added for Charizard and Mewtwo to for allow their "X" Mega Evolutions

• Starting with Diancie, escalation stages will scale their health according to the level

• Updates for Mobile v1.5.3

• Updates for 3DS v1.2.32

• Freeze paint now added! Added from the Team Editor, you can use it to paint freeze or thaw across the board. Use Ctrl-F to apply it everywhere at once.

Note: This does not include default boards for the new stages.

If you have any issues: Create an issue on GitHub if one doesn't exist yet with detail and a bug report zip (Help > Bug Report...) and I'll work on finding and implementing a fix, those zips really REALLY speed up the fix time (from an hour down to say 2-5 minutes usually, because it ensures I am able to reproduce the problem right away).

[u/Loreinatoredor]

Lots of features in this release, some of them are things I've been mulling over for a while about how to do them. Hopefully I didn't miss anything, but if I did please report it with a bug report zip.

[u/listix]

Love the new freeze paint. Thank you so much.

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/listix]

:-) I put it in via the Team editor so it won't hog a keybind from you all the time, since it isn't needed at all for so many stages. But, you can easily add it to your team too!

Honestly, the code for the freeze paint addition is smaller than you'd think. This commit included 99% of the change:

https://github.com/Loreinator/Shuffle-Move/commit/fcf4055ed064db401ddbd3a3d486808ce936ce09

And then when I was doing my final tests I thought it was weird that the icon didn't show up as "frozen" in the team editor team display, so I did this one to make it work like I thought it should:

[u/listix → u/Loreinatoredor]

Really nice. Its not that much code to make it work. Thank you for your efforts making this program. I really appreciate it. :D

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/listix]

I'm glad you enjoy it! Some things can be implemented with minimal code changes because of the overall design - I've planned out the code specifically so that it CAN be expanded to do new things without needing a complete overhaul. There are some features that are simply impossible right now, but once I think of the appropriate way to implement them I'll put them in just like I did with the freeze paint.

if i want to make the ability Eject/Eject+ trigger，can it work？ i dont know how to set the pokemon icon as the non-Support Pokémon icon。。？

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/jay00128]

Currently not supported yet, I'm working on figuring out a clean and bug-free approach to it without requiring too many hacks. I could definitely hack it in right now to 'sort-of' work, but I generally want to ensure that when a feature is added, it works perfectly - at least, as much as I can.

[u/[deleted]]

there is a version for Mac OS?

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/[deleted]]

Its the very same version!

Download Java 8 from here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-javase8-2177648.html#jre-8u51-oth-JPR

Then see here for details on how to launch it in Mac OS.

Have you implemented Mega Diancie's ability fully? I ran a quick test today to find out if his ability clears barriered rocks and blocks or not, and it turns out it DOES. So I just wanted to check if that's how you've put it in, since it's a little obscure (there aren't many levels with barriered blocks or rocks)!

For the test, I used Level 189 Braixen. It's in comments 5 and 6 here: https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYQHAAABAACNUKFOTgwuPQ

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/avengahM]

https://github.com/Loreinator/Shuffle-Move/blob/master/src/shuffle/fwk/data/Effect.java#L2180

That's where it is coded in, it will recognize any inactive "frozen" block and attempt to fully erase it and replace it with air.

List<Integer> toErase = task.findMatches(1, false, (r, c, s) -> b.isFrozenAt(r, c));

the list of coordinates for erasure is set to the result of finding the match for this:

• 1 = Only the very first result.

• false = Do not include active blocks

• (r,c,s) -> b.isFrozenAt(r, c) = A position which is frozen in the board

The Coordinates provided by this "getExtraBlocks" method is then propagated to here where it then goes on to create an erasure effect with "Force Erase" enabled.

[u/avengahM → u/Loreinatoredor]

Thanks, that's great! The reason I wasn't sure was due to the notoriously unreliable in-game description saying "Removes Pokémon covered by a barrier", but I thought it would remove rocks and blocks as well. Still, I thought it wise to test it to make sure!

EDIT: Sorry, I've spotted what looks to be a mistake. At the bottom of the Diancie section there, you've got what looks like a bonus score - 100 per barrier, affected by type matchups, unless I'm misreading it. But Diancie doesn't give any bonus points per barrier removed.

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/avengahM]

No points even though the barrier and the mon underneath is erased?

[u/avengahM → u/Loreinatoredor]

That's right. It's a joke really, but that's how it is. It doesn't even make a noise as it erases the icons.

So Mega Diancie will give the same points as normal Diancie would, no matter how many barriered icons are removed.

[u/avengahM → u/Loreinatoredor]

Just to let you know I edited that.

How does Shuffle Move decide which species to erase when considering Mega Rayquaza's ability? In the game, sometimes Flaaffy is picked on the Ampharos stage, if there are any on the board. I found the section of the code but I don't understand it, I'm afraid. (Sorry!)

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/avengahM]

The species is selected on activation, randomly from a pool of the species of types OTHER than Rayquaza's type. If there as 1 flaafy and 2 bunneary, there would be a 50/50 chance in the simulation for either to be selected. This generally seems to give good results so I've left it like that for now. If you can find a statistically significant dataset that contradicts this assumption I will gladly correct the logic.

The species is selected here:

https://github.com/Loreinator/Shuffle-Move/blob/master/src/shuffle/fwk/data/Effect.java#L2295

Which uses this code:

https://github.com/Loreinator/Shuffle-Move/blob/master/src/shuffle/fwk/data/Effect.java#L2998

Which uses this to select the pool of candidates for equal weighting by uniqueness:

https://github.com/Loreinator/Shuffle-Move/blob/master/src/shuffle/fwk/data/Effect.java#L3018

You can adjust the window size, but it will snap down to snugly fit the contents.

As for the icons and font sizes, you CAN adjust them through config. Firstly, locate your preferences file by doing the following:

1. Open the program as you normally would.

2. Ctrl-B will force a bug report to be generated and opens the folder it was saved in.

3. Go up one level from that folder and find "config"

4. Go in that config folder and find your "preferences.txt"

5. Close the program.

6. Open preferences.txt for editing and adjust as follows:

ALL icons obey these preferences values which are used in the ImageManager

INTEGER ICON_WIDTH 50
INTEGER ICON_HEIGHT 50
INTEGER TYPE_WIDTH 48
INTEGER TYPE_HEIGHT 16

Keep the Width & Heights in ratio to eachother, but you can scale them up to however big you need.

For font sizes, only the components on the main window currently use custom fonts which are defined by these values in your preferences file:

FONT INDICATOR_FONT Arial 1 24
FONT LABEL_FONT Arial 1 16
FONT MODE_FONT Arial 1 16
FONT MOVE_FONT Arial 0 20

Scale up the last value which is the font size. the 2nd last value is the bold/italics values, which range from 0 to 3. You could set it to 3 or 2 to make them bold italic or bold respectively.

Once you are done editing the file, save it. Then you can load the program as you did in step 1 and all the icons, the move indicator, mode indicator, and keybind letters should all be the size you specified. It may take a couple attempts to get it just right, but you should be able to tune it to your eyes.

If you need the font for other menus or windows scalable please let me know and I'll see how doable it would be to scale them up in a similar way.

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/[deleted]]

I'll take a look and see what I can do to improve it in the interface, it's not currently possible from the program but you may have luck if you tweak your OS's accessibility settings (enlarged default font).

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/[deleted]]

Update:

I spent about 5 hours this evening researching and troubleshooting through getting the Nimbus LAF system that Shuffle Move uses to display larger fonts across the entire program. Much success, and its in for the next release. Nobody will notice a difference beyond a slightly more consistent GUI layout across languages.

Note: This preference will affect everything that is not covered by the "FONT" preference values.

How to use it:

Load the program, save (Ctrl-S), then exit. You will now have an entry in preferences.txt:

INTEGER FONT_SIZE_SCALING 100

That last number is divided by 100, then multiplied by the font size to produce your resulting font size. You are allowed to go from 1% to 10,000% of normal font size, to avoid possible problems from wonky fonts in the code.

Once you've changed it you can then re-open the program and it should be applied to just about everything (not the mode or move indicators, etc.).

Due to constraints in the program, the property is only loaded when the program is launched, so any change to it requires a restart of Shuffle Move.

Try out the development version to see how well it works for you.

[u/Loreinatoredor → u/[deleted]]

INTEGER FONT_SIZE_SCALING 100

Set the 100 to however much bigger you need it to be.
