- Auto-recover save slots: Scan saves/<version>/ on boot to re-index orphaned slot files if options.lua is reset or loses its slot registry.
- Fix Gen 2 field moves: Make PartyMenu field actions (Strength, Surf, Cut, Flash) generation-aware so they execute safely in Gold.
- Fortify platform stability: Guard native controller/hidapi init against Android 14 receiver exceptions and ensure safe Windows file replacement.
- Add unit test coverage for slot auto-recovery in save_editor_gen2_tests.lua.
The save editor now routes Gold vs RBY through a generation adapter so boxes, items, events, and maps write the right fields. The launcher layout is shuffled a bit, and patch notes can come from the updater, a packed file, or the iOS sidecar.
Continue dropped the player into the overworld with the title
screen's song still cross-fading into the map theme over ~1.2s
(Music.MAP_FADE), audibly wrong since the player already has control.
New Game never showed this because OakSpeech's own unfaded
Music.play/playMap masks it before the player is ever placed in the
overworld. The same bug was also reachable through F2 quickload
(pressed at the title screen, or mid-session -- F2 always jumps
straight to the loaded save's map/position with no walking
transition, so it needs the same instant swap as Continue rather than
an ordinary warp's crossfade either way) and through the
checkpoint-resume mod API (RFC 0006's mod.checkpoint:resume).
OverworldState:setMap now takes an opts.freshBoot flag: when set, the
map's music swaps in at once instead of cross-fading, like every
other map's PlayDefaultMusic. It is set by every real hard state
teleport -- TitleState's onContinue, New Game's push, F2 quickload,
and Game:restoreCheckpointSave (whose only caller is itself
title-gated) -- and deliberately kept separate from the pre-existing
opts.via == "boot" default, which dev tooling (the console's `warp`
verb, hot reload's map rebuild) also reuses for unrelated reasons and
must keep its ordinary crossfade.
GameSpeed is a single fast-forward multiplier applied uniformly to the
whole logic clock -- overworld walking, menu navigation and battle turns
all scale together. A player who wants 4X battles but 1X overworld (so a
cutscene or NPC dialogue doesn't blur past) has no way to get both.
Splits save.options.speed into speedOverworld/speedBattle/speedMenu, each
cycling independently, with an automatic migration so an existing save's
speed choice carries over. Game.speedCategoryInStack resolves which
category is active by walking the state stack (the same idiom
wideBattleInStack/fillScaleInStack already use), so a menu opened mid-
battle inherits battle speed rather than resetting to whatever "menu"
defaults to. Adds a new core.logic_speed hook so a mod can read or
override the resolved multiplier for the current frame regardless of
which category produced it, sitting after the link-play and run-argument
overrides so neither is a seam a mod can defeat.
RFC 0007 status: Proposed.
A platform-specific launcher wrapper (a native shell embedding this engine,
owning its own UI around the game window) needs to pause the simulation
while its own UI is on top, live-reload options it wrote outside any Lua
UI, and veto main.lua's "closing the window returns to the Lua launcher"
behavior when it owns that job itself. Implementing this by hand-patching
main.lua's love.update/love.quit directly ties every such integration to
editing the one file every other engine change also touches, guaranteeing
merge conflicts. No existing hook covers "should the per-frame simulation
step run" or "should closing the window return to the Lua launcher."
Adds two generic, additive hooks (src/core/PlatformHooks.lua): core.update
and core.quit_to_launcher, replacing what would otherwise be inline
main.lua special-casing. Also adds Manifest.force_enable_env, letting a
mod that cannot function disabled on the one build where its env var is
set (a platform-bridge mod bundled only with that build) re-enable itself
regardless of a saved disable.
RFC 0006 status: Proposed.
