Changelog

Due to the changes in the gameplay progression aswell as to some advancements in 0.10.0 it is likely that there will be indescrepencies with the current state of players that are past Erika from earlier versions. I've included a small guide in the documentation that goes into detail how the states of players can be modified/reverted without starting a new world. The current state of the gameplay progression is considered final and I am moving my thoughts towards setting milestones for the beta :).

[0.10.0-alpha] - 2024-06-19

Changed

• Adjusted name colors of trainer types: LEADER=green, E4=blue, CHAMP=light_purple, TEAM_ROCKET=dark_gray, BOSS=gold
• Advancements have been slightly adjusted to reflect the latest changes in the progression (e.g. removed "Earth Badge" and added "Rising Badge")
• Increased spawn chance for (undefeated) key trainers
• Level cap progression now mostly mirrors the progression of the original game (Radical Red): There are now 9 additional bosses that have to be defeated to raise the level cap (refer to your advancement tab for a hint of what to expect next or check the table in the mod description)
• Lowered level cap granted by Erika from 50 to 47
• Removed "Leader Giovanni" from his duty as 5th gym leader. Now "Leader Clair" grants the 8th badge
• Removed (misleading) TRAINER trainer type and added BOSS trainer type
• Removed misleading labels (e.g. "Leader") from trainers that do not actually count towards a players progression
• Removed previously given buff for some trainers that do not account for the progression anymore
• Repurposed some weaker versions of key trainers as trainers of different types
• Slight adjustments to trainer ai behaviour (they now respect personal space a bit more, prefer to hang around in villages and tend to stroll away once done battling)

Fixed

• Some key trainers (e.g. elite 4, bosses) not having an increased spawn chance when needed
• Some key trainers beeing able to spawn before they could actually be battled with
• player set defeats command failure when used for trainers that have never been interacted with

[0.9.3-alpha] - 2024-06-18

Added

• Loot tables for (placeholder) badge items (see the source repo for the loot tables, they can be overwritten with a data pack)

Fixed

• defeat_count loot condition not beeing registered
• player set defeats command not changing values on the server side

[0.9.2-alpha] - 2024-06-17

Changed

• Removed battle count restriction (max wins/losses) for persistent trainers

[0.9.1-alpha] - 2024-06-16

Fixed

• Hotifx: Potential crash caused by trainer battles

[0.9.0-alpha] - 2024-06-15

Added

• Command unregister_persistent: Utility command for server administrators to unregister persistent trainers manually
• Data pack option for trainers to win/loose an infinite amount of times (set maxTrainerWins and/or maxTrainerDefeats to 0)
• Defeat count loot condition for data packs (e.g. have trainers drop special loot on first defeat)
• Persistent tag for trainers (0/false by default). Persistent trainers will never despawn and do not count towards the spawn caps. Care must be taken when enabling this tag for trainers since other trainers will not spawn as long as another trainer with the same name exists.

Changed

• Reformatted (spawner) debugging output
• Removed redundant "this" property of defeat count condition for achievements
• Reworked spawner system: Trainers now despawn when far away/beeing unloaded (similar to hostile mobs)
• Server config: Lowered default maxHorizontalDistanceToPlayers from 80 to 70
• Server config: Lowered default minHorizontalDistanceToPlayers from 30 to 25
• Server config: Lowered default spawnIntervalTicks from 2400 to 1200 (1 min)
• Server config: Raised default maxTrainersTotal from 15 to 20

Fixed

• Potential crash if debugging is enabled in the server config

Removed

• Config option despawnDelayTicks

[0.8.4-alpha] - 2024-06-10

Added

• Server Config logSpawning: Debugging option to log information about trainer (de)spawning (disabled by default)
• Server Config options biomeTagBlackList and biomeTagWhitelist as global options for all trainers (in addition to the tags defined per trainer (group) with data packs)

Fixed

• Trainers spawning causing a crash with c2me on fabric

[0.8.3-alpha] - 2024-06-03

Fixed

• Trainers on cooldown not beeing counted towards a palyers spawn cap

[0.8.2-alpha] - 2024-05-31

Added

• Trainer types RIVAL and TRAINER

Changed

• Advancements have been reworked, some have been removed, some have been added, some have changed. Advancements will be granted again if a player repeats an action (e.g. beats a previous Leader again). They can also be granted manually with the vanilla advancement command.
• Decreased minimum despawn distance (now equal to spawning config minHorizontalDistanceToPlayers which is 30 by default)
• Trainers that cannot battle anymore now don't count towards a players spawn cap (they still count towards the global spawn cap)

Fixed

• "Wrong way to battle" advancement beeing granted for any npc
• Advancements not beeing granted

[0.8.1-alpha] - 2024-05-29

Changed

• Reeneblad temporarily replaced switching moves (like uturn)
• Update to Cobblemon 1.5.2 and CobblemonTrainers 1.1.7

[0.8.0-alpha] - 2024-05-29

Added

• 84 new (endgame) trainers, which brings the total number up to 740
• Command: player get defeats <trainerId> [<player>]
• Command: player set defeats <trainerId> [<players>] <value>
• Command: trainer get reward_level_cap <trainerId>
• Command: trainer get type <trainerId>
• Item: Trainer Card (open player stats gui with right click, can be crafted)

Changed

• Beating a champ now grants a level cap of 100
• Buffed weaker versions of key trainers (elite 4/champs)
• Command: Renamed former player get defeats ... to player get type_defeats <type> [<player>]
• Decreased battle cooldown from 2000 to 600 ticks
• Increased spawn cap per player from 3 to 4, decreased spawn interval from 3600 to 2400 ticks and decreased despawn delay from 24000 to 5000 ticks, in short higher spawn rates by default (changed default values will not be applied to existing configs)
• Removed battle restrictions for some trainers
• Spawn rates increased for key trainers not beaten by players (the closer a player gets to the level cap the higher the chance to spawn)
• Trainer id system (now with proper unique ids). Saved data from previous versions will automatically migrate to the new system. Important notes for migration: Any trainers or trainer related data that has been modified with a data- or resource pack must be migrated manually (groups stay the same) by changing the file names to the new ids. Any (command block) commands that refer to trainers by their old ids must be migrated manually by changing the commands to use the new ids. Any trainer npcs from a previous version will have an invalid id, you can let them either despawn, get rid of them otherwise or change the TrainerId tag manually using the data command. A list of all id changes can be found in the documentation.

Fixed

• Many missing team members with different forms (e.g. 'alola')
• Potential log spam for mobs with an invalid trainer id
• Some missing ivs/evs, moves, abilities, etc. for most of the trainers

Removed

• Command: player set defeats <type> [<players>]

Fixed

• Config option maxTrainersTotalValue setting a different config value maxLevelDiff
• Missing config option maxTrainersTotal (this time actually)
