These files do not describe existing JS types and instead define their
own. Usage of .d.ts extension prevents these types from being emitted
when using emitDeclarationOnly, which affects generation of typings for
mod development.
Remove the behavior of automatically opening developer tools when
launched with --dev command line switch. As --hide-devtools switch is
now unused, remove it as well.
* Fix tsconfig scopes affecting html.js
Since it's quite hard to use a DOM library type there, remove the type
entirely.
* Remove environment variables check
Nothing is using them anymore. It can be added back if needed later.
* Refactor Texture Packer downloading
Refactor local-config.js tasks file into a generic "environment"
category consisting of checking if Java is installed, downloading the
runnable Texture Packer if it's not yet downloaded and copying the local
configuration template; update README accordingly.
* Prepare environment only at postinstall
Remove environment.prepare task from default build pipelines, add a
postinstall script that calls the task, using environment.js as the
gulpfile to speed it up.
* Remove "docs" tasks and types generation script
Remove tasks from docs.js as they are unlikely to do anything meaningful
nowadays. Also remove the buildTypes script as it doesn't work anymore.
A better solution will be provided in the future.
* Simplify some globs
Use additional gulp.src options instead of specifying more or complex
globs.
* Extract built-temp location to a variable
Add the src/js/built-temp directory as a new variable in config.js,
replace all existing references to built-temp with this variable.
Not a performance improvement, just something that needed to be done.
Slightly simplifies the structure and removes useless functions
(changing the seed resets the RNG anyway - it is better to create a new
instance instead).
Don't set the non-existent "opaque", "webkitOpaque" and "mozOpaque"
properties on a canvas. Keep using { alpha: false } when initializing
the context, which is the correct way.
Change most, but not all usages. This is mostly to please the linter,
but Object.hasOwn is also slightly shorter, especially when compared to
the proper form, Object.prototype.hasOwnProperty...
Make updateApplicationLanguage load translations asynchronously as
separate chunks in a slightly hacky way. Also implement a workaround for
old translation overrides registry ModInterface API.
Remove things that no longer exist or are covered by built-in TypeScript
libraries. Also switch to webpack-provided types instead of defining
them manually.
Remove polyfill functions for Element, CharacterData and DocumentType
classes, as these methods are all Baseline Widely Available. Also get
rid of redundant IIFE for the Math "polyfills".
This is not a big optimization but an optimization nonetheless. Mostly
based on awesome work by @Xiving. Further work should be done to get
most out of these changes.
Add a --watch command line flag to be used in tandem with --load-mod.
Chokidar is used to detect file updates, and a page reload is triggered
when there are any changes to watched mod files. Only mods loaded via
--load-mod are affected.
This implementation has a minor issue with how cache is cleared -
removing disk cache is a bit too aggressive - but the only alternative I
could find is to use a non-persistent Electron session, which would get
rid of disk cache entirely (this is not a concern).
While the browser engine can clean up workers automatically, it's a good
idea to terminate them as soon as we don't need those anymore. It's
generally suggested to reuse a single worker for repetitive operations,
but implementing such a system is much harder. In addition, spawning a
new worker for each operation allows (de)compressing multiple blobs in
parallel :)
Implement DefaultCompression class along with a generic interface to
facilitate easy to use compression in a background thread, and make use
of this class in Storage implementation by default.
Does not fix the savegame list bugs. Note that savegame index
serialization happens a few times for some reason, this is out of scope
for this commit though.
Keep track of the storage ID in each renderer Storage instance and pass
it to the IPC bridge. Jobs are dispatched to the relevant handler (only
saves/ for now) and all (de)compression is handled there.
Add dedicated fs-job types to read or write and (de)compress data
from/to the file picked by the user. Remove redundant utility functions
that used web APIs instead.
Make it slightly easier to replace the storage interface used for
app_settings.bin and savegames.bin in case it's ever needed. Savegames
always use app.storage for now, but this should be easier to change as
well.
Also fix a few issues in Electron code. This is not as polished yet, UI
from old mod support was reused for now and is likely broken. Mods can
be loaded, but there isn't much QoL around the support for now.
Only load the mod with highest priority for now. Proper behavior would
be to keep metadata for all duplicates and load the first that isn't
disabled. This allows easy mod source switching (for example, user mods
and development mods)
The linkApp method is removed as it was unused. A getter is used to
ensure best development experience. It can be further improved by adding
a guard for cases where GLOBAL_APP is not set yet.
