Version 1.8.0

## How to update
- If you haven't set up a remote, run the command `git remote add RHH https://github.com/rh-hideout/pokeemerald-expansion`.
- Once you have your remote set up, run the command `git pull RHH expansion/1.8.0`.

🌋 IMPORTANT CHANGES 🌋

  • Python is now a required for the Expansion.

    • Run the command -v python3 command to see if you have it. If you don't, please check INSTALL.md to see how to install it.

  • Support for PoryMap v5.1.1 and lower has been dropped.

    • Please update your PoryMap version.
    • Specifically, we have removed the commented-out gMonIconTable table used to associate species IDs with icon images by @Bassoonian in rh-hideout#3896
      • From PoryMap v5.2.0 onwards, these icons are autodetected based on file/directory names instead.
    • To continue using older versions of PoryMap, you may restore the commented-out table, though you'll need to keep it up to date with any new items you add.

  • Backwards-compatible BoxPokemon Refactor by @mrgriffin in rh-hideout#3438

  • Move Refactors:

    • Move data unification by @LOuroboros, with help from @Bassoonian, @cfmnephrite and @AsparagusEduardo in rh-hideout#3999
      • Renamed gBattleMoves to gMovesInfo.
      • Moved move names to gMovesInfo.
        • Added GetMoveName to get all move names, removing the need for GetMaxMoveName and GetZMoveName.

      • Moved contest data to gMovesInfo.
    • Secondary/primary effects overhaul by @cfmnephrite in rh-hideout#3577
      • Secondary effects such as stat stage modifiers and status via are now set via additionalEffects field.
      • Eg. 
        [MOVE_THUNDER_FANG] =
{
    .effect = EFFECT_FLINCH_STATUS,
    .secondaryEffectChance = 10,
    .argument = STATUS1_PARALYSIS,
    ...
},
        Now becomes: 
        [MOVE_THUNDER_FANG] =
{
    .effect = EFFECT_HIT,
    .additionalEffects = ADDITIONAL_EFFECTS(
        { .moveEffect = MOVE_EFFECT_PARALYSIS, .chance = 10, },
        { .moveEffect = MOVE_EFFECT_FLINCH,    .chance = 10, }
    ),
    ...
},
        With customizable independent chances for each effect. Because of this, secondaryEffectChance has been removed.
      • For more info, check the wiki article on How to add a new move.
      • Cleanup by:
    • Renamed Battle Move "Split" to the proper "Category" term by @AsparagusEduardo in rh-hideout#3774 
      -.split = SPLIT_PHYSICAL,
+.category = DAMAGE_CATEGORY_PHYSICAL,
    • Z-move power override (eg. Mega Drain) was moved from a switch in GetZMovePower to move data. It's part of an union alongsize with Z-move status effect by @cfmnephrite in rh-hideout#3575
    • Removed EFFECT_RECOIL_x effects in favor of new recoil field by @cfmnephrite in rh-hideout#3575

      [MOVE_SWORDS_DANCE] =
{
-   #if B_UPDATED_MOVE_DATA >= GEN_6
-       .pp = 20,
-   #else
-       .pp = 30,
-   #endif
    .effect = EFFECT_ATTACK_UP_2,
    .power = 0,
    .type = TYPE_NORMAL,
    .accuracy = 0,
+   .pp = B_UPDATED_MOVE_DATA >= GEN_6 ? 20 : 30,
    • Moved effect script array to src/data/battle_move_effects.h by @cfmnephrite in rh-hideout#3994
      • AI's sEncouragedEncoreEffects and Battle TV's sPoints_MoveEffect are now handled in this struct.
      • Some move flags were moved to this array instead
    • Removed sheerForceBoost in favor of checking their actual secondary effects by @cfmnephrite in rh-hideout#4096
      • To force Sheer Boost acting for a move without secondary effect, you can add SHEER_FORCE_HACK in the additionalEffects field.

  • Learnset refactors

    • Level up learnsets can now be switched by generational config by @MartyKen in rh-hideout#4049
      • Adds a file for each generation with data for all species.
        • Gen 1: Yellow
        • Gen 2: Crystal
        • Gen 3: RSE
        • Gen 4: HGSS
        • Gen 5: B2W2
        • Gen 6: ORAS
        • Gen 7: USUM
        • Gen 8:
          • Species from Gens 1-4: BDSP
          • Species from Legends: Arceus: Use that game's data.
          • Species from Gens 5-8: SwSh if they exist there. Otherwise, default to Gen 7's data.
        • Gen 9:
          • If they exist in SV, use that game's data.
          • Otherwise, default to Gen 8's data.
      • If a Pokémon doesn't exist in the respective generation, it uses the first instance it appears in.
        • Eg. Chikorita uses its Gen 2 learnset if the config is set to Gen 1.
        • IMPORTANT: Since the expansion's default had most movesets correspond to USUM's, conflicts will arise in data/pokemon/level_up_learnsets/gen_7.h if you modified the level learnsets. Be sure to backup your data/pokemon/level_up_learnsets.h before merging and then do the following after merging to keep your changes: 
          +#include "data/pokemon/level_up_learnsets.h"
+#if FALSE
+
 #if P_LVL_UP_LEARNSETS >= GEN_9
 #include "data/pokemon/level_up_learnsets/gen_9.h"

      • Users can easily delete/add JSON files to reference less/more data as they see fit.
        • Eg. they can remove hgss.json to remove those games' compatibility list from being considered.
      • Any changes in teachable_learnsets.h made before this tool runs for the first time will be saved in custom.json for flawless migration.

  • Berry Expansion by @Bassoonian in rh-hideout#3618
    • Berry Mutations (from XY): Planting a Berry tree next to another has a BERRY_MUTATION_CHANCE (25% by default) chance of causing a mutation (as dictated by sBerryMutations). Mutations mean that besides the usual output, the Berry plant will have a single Berry of the mutation (e.g. planting a Iapapa Berry next to a Mago Berry will cause it to have a single Pomeg Berry on top of its usual output).
      • Enabled via OW_BERRY_MUTATIONS config.
    • Easier Berry Debugging: Add berry manipulation functions to the debug menu to allow for forced growth and more.
    • Mulch (from Gen IV and XY): Using it on soil affects the growth, watering and production values of the plants.
      • Enabled via OW_BERRY_MULCH_USAGE config.
    • Gradient watering (from Gen IV and XY) (OW_BERRY_MOISTURE and OW_BERRY_ALWAYS_WATERABLE): rather than keeping track of if each stage has been watered like Gen III, the humidity of the soil is kept track of separately.
      • Enabled via OW_BERRY_MOISTURE config.
      • Switch between Gen4/6 via OW_BERRY_ALWAYS_WATERABLE config.
      • Rate of drying set by OW_BERRY_DRAIN_RATE config.
    • Weeding from XY: Berries may require unweeding for additional produce.
      • Enabled via OW_BERRY_WEEDS config.
    • Pests (from XY): Bug-type Pokémon may appear to feast on your plants.
      • Enabled via OW_BERRY_PESTS config.
    • Customisable stages: XY has six stages rather than four, so with this easy toggle you can choose the amount of stages without influencing the growth time.
      • Enabled via OW_BERRY_SIX_STAGES config.
    • Growth configs: Pick a generation whose Berry growth rates to use
      • Changed via OW_BERRY_GROWTH_RATE config.
    • Yield configs: Pick a generation whose Berry yields to use
      • Changed via OW_BERRY_YIELD_RATE config.

Changed

  • Raised the limit of max items per stack to 999 by @LOuroboros in rh-hideout#3923
  • Unified item data
  • Item Balls now can be defined in the map's JSON (or using PoryMap) via the common script Common_EventScript_FindItem instead of needing to define a new script for it by @pkmnsnfrn in rh-hideout#3942 
      "trainer_type": "TRAINER_TYPE_NONE",
- "trainer_sight_or_berry_tree_id": "0",
- "script": "AbandonedShip_CaptainsOffice_EventScript_ItemStorageKey",
+ "trainer_sight_or_berry_tree_id": "ITEM_STORAGE_KEY",
+ "script": "Common_EventScript_FindItem",
  "flag": "FLAG_ITEM_ABANDONED_SHIP_CAPTAINS_OFFICE_STORAGE_KEY"
    • Item count can also be defined by using the movement_range_x field: 
      "trainer_sight_or_berry_tree_id": "ITEM_NUGGET",
"script": "Common_EventScript_FindItem",
"flag": "FLAG_ITEM_AQUA_HIDEOUT_B1F_NUGGET"
+ "movement_range_x": 2,
    • Existing scripts have been adapted to use this new format.
  • Added plural item name support with new pluralName field in gItemsInfo by @pkmnsnfrn in rh-hideout#3942
    • When obtaining multiples of an item and the field is not defined, it appends an s at the end instead (eg. "Brendan got 40 Potions!").
