The takeover stop in Sound.playMove moved after the new source starts in
cfa84063, but an equal-id replay reuses the cached source, so the stop
killed the sound it had just restarted.
Android ships no curl and the JNI bridge was GET-only, so mod.postLog
failed there with 'no POST transport on this platform' (HostShell.lua).
Add the mirror of httpDownload: GameActivity.httpPost (https-only,
hand-followed redirects re-POSTing the body, one-way), the JNI bridge
with the same old-APK-skew tolerance, the love.system.httpPost binding,
and the HostShell arm that rides it when curl is absent. The body
crosses the JNI as raw bytes (jbyteArray) so a log ring with arbitrary
UTF-8 cannot corrupt through modified-UTF-8 jstring conversion.
Both call sites -- Game2:usePartyItem (the field pack) and
BattleState:useItem (the battle pack) -- asked ItemEffects.partyAction
for an item's family with no `data` argument, even though every other
call in the same functions (useOnMon, usePpItem, applyPartyItem) passed
it through correctly. partyAction resolves through recordFor, which
reads data.gen2ItemEffects when given a dataset and falls back to the
module's own built-in RECORDS table when not -- so with no data, a
mod's own item_effects record was invisible and every mod-defined Gen 2
field or battle item resolved to a nil action, falling straight through
to "isn't going to help here" / "isn't going to help here" without ever
opening the party picker.
Both now pass the live dataset (self.data on Game2, self.game.data on
the battle screen) the same way their sibling calls already did.
DAYS (SUNDAY..SATURDAY), the MORN/DAY/NITE word PrintHour prints, and the
"o'clock"/"min." suffixes bypassed src/core/Strings.lua entirely -- they
were plain Lua literals with no lookup, so a translation mod's `strings`
registry had nothing to catch and Oak's clock screens, the day-of-week
wheel, the main menu clock box and the Pokegear's clock card kept printing
English regardless of the loaded language (reported from a real Spanish
Gold build).
Both live in src/core/gen2/Clock.lua, which already owns weekday/hour
arithmetic and is already required by InitClock.lua, MainMenu.lua and
Pokegear.lua: Clock.DAY_NAMES + Clock.weekdayName(day) is the one place the
three screens read a weekday's name from, so a fix to it cannot land on one
screen and silently miss the other two. Clock.daytimeLabel(hour) is the
translated counterpart to Palettes.clockDaytime, which keeps answering the
untranslated MORN/DAY/NITE key every FORCED_DAYTIME lookup in Palettes.lua
compares against -- src/world/gen2/Palettes.lua itself is untouched, so
that module stays pure table/color math with no Strings coupling.
tmpnam() on the Windows CRT returns a bare, CWD-relative name (e.g. \sb4c.2), and io.open on it fails with Permission denied when the game's working directory is not writable -- a Program Files (or otherwise protected) install. postLog then dies before curl runs: the mod reports a send failure and no bytes leave the machine (confirmed on a Windows install: "could not create request body: \sb4c.2: Permission denied").
Stage the request body under the OS temp contract instead: TEMP/TMP on Windows (always set, always per-user writable), TMPDIR with a /tmp fallback on POSIX. The transport stays on plain io/os -- no love.filesystem dependency.
Tests updated to mock os.getenv and assert the staged path sits under the temp dir; 10/10 checks pass.
- 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.
