- Always supply Gen 2 battle random (BattleRandom) and Gen 1 / love-style rng.
- Add EFFECT_STATIC_DAMAGE for Sonic Boom and Dragon Rage (move power; Ghost
immunity via resettypematchup for static damage only).
- Keep Magnitude rolling via BattleRandom instead of collapsing to Magnitude 4.
- Cover RNG, static damage, and Magnitude in gen2 battle tests.
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.
Regression coverage for the four Yellow Pallet Town fixes on this
branch:
- tests/parity_J.lua: the old-man-style demo bag shows x1 in Yellow
(SimulatedInputBattleItemList), not just the pre-existing x50
(pokered's OldManItemList) case.
- tests/engine/push_battle_transition.lua: Commands.pushBattle calls
ctx.overworld:pushBattle when available and falls back with a
logged warning otherwise. Logger.warn is spied (pcall-safe, always
restored) rather than read off the shared Logger.history ring
buffer, so the fallback checks don't leave noise behind for
whatever else runs in the same process.
- tests/parity_yellow_pallet_pikachu.lua: drives the real onStep
closure through the real StateStack/OverworldState, with no mocked
battle -- Red never plays Music_MuseumGuy for this escort (Blue
shares the same code path: onStep only branches on
GameVersion.isYellow(), never isBlue(), so a separate Blue run
would exercise nothing new), and Yellow's hold before the Pikachu
battle is armed for exactly 2 frames before handing off to
BattleTransition rather than a bare stack push. Stops there rather
than also driving the demo battle to completion just to assert
Music_MuseumGuy fires in Yellow (that fix's own coverage): the
extra coupling to unrelated battle menu/bag/throw frame budgets
wasn't worth it for one more assertion. That side stays manually
verified. scenario() restores Game/GameVersion and re-inits
StateStack on the way out.
All three pass standalone (luajit tests/<path>). The Yellow E2E test
hits the same pre-existing "Music.playMap is nil" gap three other
map-warping parity tests already hit inside the aggregated
tests/run_tests.lua run (missing data/generated/audio.lua in this dev
environment) -- confirmed by diffing the identical error text against
parity_warp_after_warp_step.lua, which also passes clean standalone.
story2.lua pushed the demo battle straight onto the stack, skipping
the flash + wipe that every other wild battle gets.
InitWildBattle calls DoBattleTransitionAndInitBattleVariables
unconditionally (core.asm:6699) -- there is no BATTLE_TYPE_OLD_MAN or
BATTLE_TYPE_PIKACHU special case -- so the old-man tutorial and Oak's
Pikachu catch get the wipe like any other wild battle, same as every
scripted trainer. Commands.old_man_demo already routed the Viridian
old man's tutorial catch through OverworldState:pushBattle for
exactly this reason; the fallback it used for a pushBattle-less
overworld (ctx.overworld and ctx.overworld.pushBattle then ... else
game.stack:push(battle)) was duplicated verbatim in Commands
.start_battle and would have been a third copy in story2.lua, so it's
pulled into one Commands.pushBattle(ctx, battle) helper instead, used
by all three call sites; the fallback branch now logs a warning
rather than silently dropping the transition and battle-theme start.
Confirmed against pokeyellow's engine/battle/core.asm: the Viridian
old man's demo and Oak's Pikachu catch share the same canned
one-item bag (SimulatedInputBattleItemList), quantity 1 -- pokered's
equivalent (OldManItemList, old man only, no Pikachu battle type) is
quantity 50. The port hardcoded x50 for both versions.
