Oops, the GROUP_CONCAT string was getting cut off! This caused an error trying to look up the name of an item ID that didn't exist, because the ID got truncated partway through.
This query was very slow! I added an index, and now it's fast!
This code change doesn't actually affect anything, but the comment helps explain what happened, since the index isn't stored in code. (Todo: should I start defining some indexes in our setup files?)
The AMFPHP gateway's json.php endpoint has always had a problem parsing pets whose names start with digits… I've dug into it before, and checked again today, and there really is just no way around it: d584b58e95/core/json/app/Actions.php (L43)
And there aren't any reliable AMFPHP Node libraries out there to make the actual native AMF call.
Buuuut! In today's investigation, I noticed the xmlrpc.php endpoint for the first time. And, wouldn't you know it, there's //great// reliability for something as enterprise-standard as that!
So here, I've switched over to using an xmlrpc client library, which simplifies our calling code //and// makes number pets work correctly 😁 I wouldn't have done it just for the simplification, I think bringing in a library is net more complexity… but getting this finally right is a big relief.
Yeah, mm, turns out I don't think it's actually viable to model from Impress 2020, because we can't reasonably set up the SWFs and PNGs in the ways we need, especially for compatibility with Classic DTI.
We can turn this on again later, once Classic DTI is gone, and all assets are converted to HTML5 -- or if we build some kind of bridge to Classic's asset code, or we write new PNG conversion code.
These changes are most relevant for playing around in the dev server, modeing against an empty database. But they'll also help in real-world modeling scenarios! e.g. modeling a new species/color combo is now a bit nicer, we don't show a blank entry in the color picker
this is the last one to get parity with current modeling, I think?? I'm gonna add one more feature though: removing no-longer-used assets from the item
Oops, when building the Support tool to label pet appearances, I didn't realize that there's also a boolean `labeled` field that needs to be true for labeled appearances. Without it, the old app shows the appearance as "Unlabeled".
I also ran this query to fix the rows we'd incorrectly written:
```
mysql> UPDATE pet_states SET labeled = 1 WHERE mood_id IS NOT NULL;
Query OK, 158 rows affected (0.14 sec)
Rows matched: 19640 Changed: 158 Warnings: 0
```
This is mostly because I want to chain the rels after both items and assets save, and I want to be able to specify that stuff a bit more precisely, rather than the like, layers-of-awaits we were building up.
yeah, I had unified Pet into Outfit, but now I think that was overly clever… 😅
Here, I define a new Pet type, and it has some of the fields of Outfit and the deprecated fields still.
I did this because I want petAppearance to work, for UC testing!
We download the schema from prod, and omit real data, but I didn't notice that we were still pulling the metadata of the auto increment counter for IDs! Now, we scrub that from the schema file we save.
This wasn't actually super helpful to read anyway, and I think it was causing us to hit rate limits.
We can maybe add back a limited version to like, add path context of _where_ a span happened in the GQL tree, but like, I feel like that's typically been pretty intuitive so far.
Boom, now we can also run a clean MySQL test db on each test that wants it :)
the test I wrote as a sample is currently marked `it.skip` because it's not passing yet!
This updates the MySQL procedure to get the important special colors, but keeps the GQL behavior the same by only filtering to Blue. Just an incremental step before changing the behavior, to make sure I've gotten it right so far!
Snapshots significantly updated, but, from scanning it, I think that's expected changes from actual modeling progress. Hooray!
I'm using my first ever MySQL Store Procedure for clever cleverness in caching the modeling query!
I realized that checking for the latest contribution timestamp is a pretty reliable way of deciding when modeling data was last updated at all. If that timestamp hasn't changed, we can reuse the results!
I figured that, because query roundtrips are a bottleneck in this environment, I didn't want to make that query separately. So, I built a MySQL procedure to do the check on the database side!
Okay, we handle the new pages correctly! Still some weird bugs when you send requests near each other? Probably wise to migrate to Apollo's new way of doing this
Been bothered by this for a while!
My hope is that this isn't a notable marginal performance hit—we were already walking the table and doing string ops anyway, I can't imagine adding to that is actually that much of a marginal lift, when the main bottleneck was probably reads. And the perf should be identical for simple single-word queries anyway. But we'll see how it feels!
Previously, if you switched species/color such that one of your items was no longer compatible, we _would_ still apply its zone restrictions to the visible layer set.
In this change, we fix that server-side, since I think it makes the most sense for an empty appearance to be truly empty!
This is in preparation for hiding bio zone restrictions but showing item zone restrictions!
I also refactor the build-cached-data script substantially, to run GraphQL against the server instead of a custom query.
okay so the PetAppearance restrictions are stored on the asset, because that's how they're defined on Neopets.com too
but I think that's a confusing API, so here I define `PetAppearance.restrictedZones`, which just maps over the layers and aggregates the zones server-side, same as we would have done on the client
I think that's much easier to understand than having layer contain a field, but having to know that item restrictions _don't_ work that way, you know?
Previously, when changing a pet's color, we would refresh the items panel and send a new network request for the item appearances, even though they're all the same. This is because item appearance data is queried by species/color, for ease of specification.
But! Item appearances are //cached// by body ID. So, if this is a standard color, it's not hard to look in the cache for the standard color's body ID!
Now, most color changes are faster and don't flicker the item panel anymore. We do still refresh the panel and send the requests for color changes that _do_ matter though, like standard <-> mutant!
ahh, in a recent change I made glitched states valid for canonical poses, but didn't make the corresponding change here! This meant that I think the PosePicker showed them, but other ways of getting to them didn't work, including the Candy Acara (who is 100% marked glitched) was no longer pickable at all
I noticed in prod that the Vercel edge cache can show old data in the Support tool right after you edit it and reload the page, which is super confusing!
In this change, we stop caching the endpoint we use for Support tools, so that the Support tools always feel real-time and trustworthy. (The standard pose picker might still be cached, so it could be a bit confusing for that to be out of sync, but at least you can toggle into Support mode and see that your changes happened _there_, so you don't panic that they're _gone_.)
