There were two large holes in the existing offline server handling:
1. It didn't include IPs, so scripts that used IPs instead of hostnames
would get exceptions thrown for "server not found."
2. Coverage was very low for non-Darknet APIs. Maybe most of them don't
need to be covered, but many obvious ones like "ps", "killall" and
"hasRootAccess" were missing. IMO the only reliable answer is one
that enforces *all* are covered via the type system.
To accomplish the second part, helpers.getServer() was changed to return
null when a server is offline. This intentionally breaks a lot of its
utility, which was to return a server unconditionally. To compensate,
its utility was increased - it now also does unknown argument
processing, allowing it to subsume a common line that all callers were
repeating.
Some callers switched to ctx.workerScript.getServer(), because they
didn't actually need to be using helpers.getServer(). Similarly, a few
callsites switched to GetServerOrThrow(), for the cases where it should
be guaranteed that the server is valid. The rest are returning a
default/failure response when the server is offline. (Except for
contracts, which threw on failure already anyway.)
* Add some re-rendering improvements to avoid the canvas and visual servers getting desynched
* removed underlevelled nerf to low-level servers; improved charisma level docs
* Remove offscreen dynamic culling
* PR feedback; add cache file names to tooltip
* Ensure stasis link servers get loaded properly; ensure darkweb has neighbors to prevent unit tests from failing; remove extra optional chaining accessors
Thankfully, the existing AllServers map is not exported, so we can
ensure that all the changes are only local to this file.
This also fixes a bug if renameServer was called with the same
name. (Probably calling code checked that case already.)
There was duplicated code, and more importantly, were were handling
certain things subtly differently in exec() and scp() as a result. This
notably causes a behavior change in exec() and scp() where failure to
authenticate now returns failure instead of throwing, which I believe is
the proper response.
This also makes it easier to see in the code exactly which functions
require what (auth, session, etc.)
* Convert purchased server functions to cloud API
- Create `ns.cloud`
- Change `bitnode multipliers` and `server constants` wording for consistency
- change `server`, `ram` and `getting started` docs for consistency
- Added changes to 3.0.0 API Break and `setRemovedFunctions` in NetscriptFunctions.js
Tested by
- running tutorial `purchase-server-8gb.js`, and a more typical player one
- buying manually using vendor (Alpha Ent in Sector 12)
- deleting them all using script, and checked all deleted functions gave correct error
- Imported completed save to ensure auto-transfer of function work
* Revision in line with comments
- changed more `purchased` to `cloud` references
- Added BN mults auto-conversion
* Update getting_started.md
- Corrected function names for new `cloud API`
* Don't show `cloud API` warning
v3.0.0 API break auto-replaces `cloud` functions, not warning suggested.
* API Break correction
- `cloud` affected API break replacement changed to be more descriptive and functional
* Fix typo and add empty lines
* Update many things (check commit's description)
- Comments
- Terminal message
- UI Text
- TSDoc
- md docs
- Improve error messages in src\NetscriptFunctions\Cloud.ts
* BUGFIX: Fix calculateExp so that it won't return a too small result
Due to floating point rounding issues, when applying the inverse
operation and flooring, roughly half the time we would get the next
lower skill level. This quickly finds a slightly higher result that
gives the correct inverse.
* clearer test layout
