Threads open a fresh Lua state with a full standard library, so they
stayed blocked wholesale. PotatoVoxel's prebuilder wants to run its
pure geometry phase on worker threads; the mod declares the new
"compute" permission and the sandbox hands out love.thread only
then. The worker runs the mod's own source (source-only, like every
mod file) and receives data only through channels.
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.
Font.drawBox leaves the caller's color at white; every other screen
resets to black right after calling it, but ManagerState.lua's draw()
and drawOverlay() never did. That's invisible on the vanilla tile font
(tile glyphs are black-on-transparent regardless of color) but renders
fully invisible white-on-white text once a mod's TTF font is active.
The targeted test only covered the RBY side (ItemEffects.lua,
TrainerAI.lua); src/battle/gen2/Battle.lua's EFFECT_LIGHT_SCREEN/
EFFECT_REFLECT fix had no test at all, spotted when asked whether the
Gold changes were covered.
Adds a minimal MACHOP/TACKLE gen2 fixture (same shape as
tests/gen2_move_effects_test.lua's), calls both MOVE_EFFECTS directly,
and checks a loaded catalog reaches the whole message template (Gold
wraps the full sentence, not just the stat name). Confirmed it catches
the regression: reverting Battle.lua to its pre-fix state fails 2 of
the suite's now 8 checks.
No existing test could tell a translated stat name apart from a raw
stat:upper() that never went through Strings() at all: every rose!
message assertion in the suite runs with no catalog loaded, where
Strings() is an identity function either way.
Loads a real catalog (Strings.load) that translates one stat name at a
time and checks it actually reaches the X-item, vitamin, and AI-trainer
X-item messages -- ROM-free, over tests/fixture_data. Confirmed this
catches the regression: reverting src/inventory/ItemEffects.lua and
src/battle/TrainerAI.lua to their pre-fix state fails 5 of 6 checks.
Strings(stat:upper()) is a dynamic argument -- tools/modkit.py's
STRINGS_CALL harvester only matches a literal string right after
Strings(/Strings.source(, so it can't discover "ATTACK"/"DEFENSE"/etc.
from these call sites. Translation coverage happened to still work
only because the same literals are independently harvested from
unrelated call sites (MoveEffects.lua's STAT_LABEL, BattleState.lua's
literal Strings("ATTACK") calls) -- real but fragile, found in review.
Reuse the codebase's existing pattern for exactly this situation
(MoveEffects.lua's STAT_LABEL): a local table built at require time
with Strings.source(...), which the harvester can see, resolved to a
translated label at use time with Strings(TABLE[key]). Adds one such
table to ItemEffects.lua (covering its X-item and vitamin call sites,
including "hp") and one to TrainerAI.lua.
Same theme as the RBY fix, found while checking whether Gold had the
same gap: EFFECT_LIGHT_SCREEN and EFFECT_REFLECT built their "'s
SPCL.DEF/DEFENSE rose!" message by raw string concatenation, bypassing
Strings() entirely -- unlike most other messages in this file (e.g.
"%s\nused %s!" a few lines up), which already go through it.
Wrap the whole message template in Strings(), matching that existing
pattern; the substituted name still comes from monName() as before.
Gold's gen2/Battle.lua has many more messages built the same
unwrapped way (fainted!, learned..., missed!, and so on) -- that is
the much larger "Battle messages" gap already tracked separately and
deliberately left out of this change.
Both the player-side and AI-trainer stat-rise messages (X ATTACK/
DEFENSE/etc. and the vitamins) passed the raised stat's name as a raw
uppercase Lua string (stat:upper()), bypassing Strings() entirely, so
it always rendered in English regardless of the active language even
though the surrounding sentence template was already translated.
Wrap the substituted stat name in Strings() at every call site
(src/inventory/ItemEffects.lua's two player-side messages and
src/battle/TrainerAI.lua's AI-trainer X-item message, found in
review), reusing the same "ATTACK"/"DEFENSE"/"SPEED"/"SPECIAL"/"HP"
keys SummaryMenu.lua's stat labels already look up the same way.
syncIdentity unconditionally recomputed mon.shiny from the mon's DVs,
overwriting whatever was there. It is wired into refreshStats, which
SummaryMenu.new calls on every menu open, so a forced shiny -- Mon.new's
opts.shiny path, DVs that do not themselves read as shiny -- got
un-shinied the moment the summary screen opened, even though opts.shiny
already wins over shiny.roll at construction for exactly this case (a
scripted shiny is the cart overriding the roll, not a roll to be
hooked).
mon.shiny now only ever gets PROMOTED by the DV check, never demoted:
`mon.shiny or Mon.isShiny(...)`. A naturally shiny mon and a plain one
are unaffected -- the DV check still runs and still decides the first
time -- and a mon whose DVs are edited to justify shininess later still
promotes normally; only an already-true shiny stops being able to flip
back to false on a later refresh.
