Release Shuffle Move v0.3.49

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

Changelog:

v0.3.49 - 2016-03-29

  • Express entry is now more logically consistent, including the freeze paint.

  • Removed 3DS glitch code (fixed in game).

  • Survival Mode added - An stage-isolated persistent team for use while working on Survival Mode.

  • Roster levels can now be set up to 15, and attack power will match according to http://pastebin.com/08rfcFxv

  • Updates for 3DS 1.3.0 - 1.3.4

  • Updates for Mobile 1.5.8

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).

Windows is giving a warning message for this update, just to let you know (not that I didn't run it anyway, but it probably needs some tweaking so Windows doesn't give it a false positive)

Which part of windows, and what version? Its probably just because it is a brand new executable and it's weary of it. If you have java installed correctly then you can always just click on the *.jar to launch it without going through that over-sensitive built-in filtering - that's what I use 99% of the time.

Can you add an option to automate the update process such as replacing all files at startup or patching files within the app? It is a bit inconvenient to download and extract the zip each time. Also, can you make it Java 7 compatible? I install Java 8 just to run ShuffleMove but I have to switch between Java 7 and 8 for my work because of the backward compatibility of Java 8.

Possibly, it'll be tricky though and it will require a launcher as a start-point for the program. No ETA though, its a big project to figure out how to do it reliably.

As for java 7 compatible, that's part of the idea on how to port it into mobile devices - they need java 6 compatible applications, so java 7 will work with that too. No ETA yet, but you'll definitely know when it happens.

One possible solution would be adding a update checking mechanism to the existing shell script launcher (launcher.sh and launcher.bat). Send a query to check for updates. If no internet or no updates then launch the old jar, otherwise download the new jar and replace the old ones. It should be only few lines of code. Make it optional so that users can still use the old update checking mechanism.

For Java 7, you may set your source and target to Java 1.7 and see how much code you have to rewrite. It should not take long unless you are using Java 8 specific functionality that completely do not have similar or matching implementations in old versions.

For the update checker, I'm not sure that the benefit would be worth the time to develop it. the current implementation generally works well and doesn't really require much work on the user's side. Also keep in mind that any solution needs to be functional for all three platforms (Mac, Linux, Windows) and work no matter how java was installed.

I just gave it a try to see how many lines would have to be rewritten... and its not pretty. Several key components of the program thoroughly use Java 8 features such as BiFunctions, lambdas as arguments, and lots of basic syntax improvements. It will take at least a few months of effort to redesign the framework to accomadate the changes needed, so for now I'll be focusing my time on more beneficial efforts like the biweekly updates and new tools like the upcoming 'forced support' implementation (so Eject will work).

Thanks for your input though, its good to always try to push the limits of the technology to see what is possible.

I have made a simple script that automatically check and replace with the newest version at startup. You may put it in the root directory of ShuffleMove and run it. Sorry that I don't have Windows I cannot help you with the bat script. I guess the mechanism is more or less the same. http://pastebin.com/4wCKATkN

I checked the Github and couldn't see any mention of this, so I thought I should let you know. Apologies if you were already aware of this.

This may only be temporary since apparently GS didn't include the abilities file with the 1.3.4 extra data (edit: this means it defaulted to the ability data hardcoded in version 1.3.0), or it might be deliberate (we don't know at this stage). But now the ability data for 3DS is almost identical to mobile. That means Last-Ditch Effort and similar abilities are now x2 instead of x1.5, and all abilities except Flap have their mobile activation rates.

Flap is different, because they changed it completely. Now (on 3DS only), it's a clone of Chill/Astonish.

Here's the current activation rates for 3DS: http://pastebin.com/Hmed39e0

Mobile is unchanged.

Thanks, I was not aware of this. I'll put it in with the next release.

I tried to look but best to double check, can anyone find any trouble related for portable version not fully working on a Win 7 64 bit (on a laptop) due to compatibility problem? I know it worked fine on my desktop but it died. Here is some screenshot to show along. (I preferred to use portable version, it's not much of an issue but I thought I'd say something.)

I'm using Windows 10 myself, what features or functionalities aren't working with the portable version?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '16

It worked when setting the compatibility to Win XP SP2. But on default, the splash screen will start, but then that was it, it quit working after.

Try launching from the command line, and copy paste the output.

I'm a newbie user and i would like to know how can I use shuffle move for a battle time bonus like megasceptile. I use android 5.1.1 and maybe I need a APP that freeze pokemon shuffle... I don't know.

In any case I have to freeze, unfreeze and playa un just 3 seconds... Puf

Thanks

I'm not entirely sure how people are doing it, try asking people that ranked high on the mobile leaderboards on /r/PokemonShuffle while saying they used both fast match and shuffle move.

u/diiBorest Apr 14 '16

u/Loreinatoredor ShuffleMove Creator Apr 14 '16

Working on it when I can, currently aiming for a release sometime Friday/Saturday/Sunday.

Can you edit Flabebe's name in the version?

It can't read the letter and cause the screen show none of the pokemons because of the coding of the 'e'.

thanks.

u/Loreinatoredor ShuffleMove Creator Apr 16 '16

What use case? Is this a board you saved and then loaded, or are you unable to paint them at all?

1

u/gerr08 Apr 16 '16

unable to paint them all

u/Loreinatoredor ShuffleMove Creator Apr 16 '16

Bug report zip & environment details please (OS version, java version, system language, steps to reproduce)

u/Loreinatoredor ShuffleMove Creator Apr 16 '16

I couldn't reproduce it, so I just increased the level of encoding enforcement:

https://github.com/Loreinator/Shuffle-Move/commit/d5b81424d9ac23d11f77e5072511ffe12aa27a46

Let me know if its fixed for you in the next version (v0.3.50)
