They're not all Nostalgic anymore! Oh, how the times have changed!
This way, new ones will appear as "<New?>", until support staff come in
and label them (with our cool new tools!)
Whoops, I didn't realize this change I made to validation for the alt
style editing form, was goofing up alt style modeling!
The trick is, the validation was happening before the `before_create`
hook. Now I've reformulated these as `before_validation` hooks, so
we're not rejecting new alt styles for having no thumbnail!
This is a minor nbd change, I just noticed when playing around in the
console that, unlike most other errors for this model, the `body_id`
being required is _only_ enforced in the database schema, so it isn't
returned with the usual errors. Not a big deal! Just feels like this is
clearer to work with, and more correct to what we *intend*.
This is just a bit of future-proofing! We also add a default thumbnail
URL of the cute "Neopets Circle Background", for cases where the series
name isn't known yet.
Yay, we finally added it, the part where we include the appearance data
for the items based on both the species/color and the alt style! Now,
switching to Faerie Acara correctly filters the search only to items
that would fit (I think literally just only body_id=0 items right now,
but we're not banking on that!)
I considered this at first, but decided to keep it simple until it
turned out to matter. Oops, it already matters, lol!
I want the item search code to be able to easily tell if the series
name is real or a placeholder, so we can decide whether to build the
filter text in `fits:$series-$color-$species` form or
`fits:alt-style-$id` form.
So in this change, we keep it that `AltStyle#series_name` returns the
placeholder string if none is set, but callers can explicitly ask
whether it's a real series name or not. Will use this in our next
change!
Previously we did this hackily by comparing the ID to a hardcoded list
of IDs, but I think putting this in the database is clearer and more
robust, and it should also help with our upcoming item search stuff
that will filter by it!
I think there's no call sites for these anymore, so now I can start
repurposing these methods for the new API endpoints I'm planning! :3
Now, `SwfAsset#image_url` approximately matches Impress 2020 logic: use
the thumbnail PNG from the manifest if one exists, or the Impress 2020
converter for canvas movies, or the old AWS copy generated by gnash if
necessary, or return nil.
To help with space, I'm just showing the word "Nostalgic" (or "???" if
it's from a series we don't recognize, this is hardcoded by ID), and
trusting that from context it will be obvious that it's the "Nostalgic
Faerie" case or whatever. (Moreover, in both the button and the select
we're omitting the species name, by similar reasoning!)
Note that this _still_ doesn't actually apply the style to the outfit
whatsoever; this is all just local state as we're continuing to play
with UI concepts. Actually applying it is probably next though! (Though
there's a couple more UI things I want to do, like some affordances to
clarify that a Style is applied and that Expression changes won't work.)
