v2.2.0 - Jan 2 2023 Development Reboot
Dev notes
* The previous main developer, hydroflame, is stepping back from this project for the foreseeable future.
To facilitate this, we've moved the repo to a new location at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-src
* Sorry for the large number of API breaks in this version. To ease the pain here, attempting to use any of the
removed functions will provide an error guiding you to the new replacement function to use instead.
BREAKING API CHANGES:
* (ns2 only) ns functions use the 'this' value from ns: if you move the function to its own variable off of ns, it
needs to be bound to ns. e.g.:
const tprint1 = ns.tprint; // This doesn't work and will error out when calling tprint1();
const tprint = ns.tprint.bind(ns); // This works because the 'this' value is preserved.
The internal changes that make this necessary led to very large performance gains for running many scripts at once.
* ns.getPlayer no longer provides properties tor, inBladeburner, or hasCorporation. This information can be looked
up using standlone functions: ns.hasTorRouter(), ns.bladeburner.inBladeburner(), ns.corporation.hasCorporation().
* Removed many functions, with replacement ways to get the same info.
getServerRam: use getServerMaxRam and getServerUsedRam instead.
corporation.assignJob: use setAutoJobAssignment instead.
corporation.getEmployee: No longer available (employees are not individual objects).
corporation.getExpandCityCost: use ns.corporation.getConstants().officeInitialCost
corporation.getExpandIndustryCost: use getIndustryData instead.
corporation.getIndustryTypes: use ns.corporation.getConstants().industryNames
corporation.getMaterialNames: use ns.corporation.getConstants().materialNames
corporation.getPurchaseWarehouseCost: use ns.corporation.getConstants().warehouseInitialCost
corporation.getResearchNames: use ns.corporation.getConstants().researchNames
corporation.getUnlockables: use ns.corporation.getConstants().unlockNames
corporation.getUpgradeNames: use ns.corporation.getConstants().upgradeNames
formulas.work.classGains: split into universityGains and gymGains
singularity.getAugmentationCost: use getAugmentationPrice and getAugmentationRepReq instead
sleeve.getSleeveStats: use getSleeve instead
sleeve.getInformation: use getSleeve instead
* An error dialog will inform the player of the above API changes if the player tries to use one of the
removed functions above.
* enums.toast was renamed ToastVariant to provide consistency with internal code.
* codingcontract.attempt always returns a string (empty string for a failed attempt). This may break player code
if a direct boolean comparison (e.g. 'attemptResult === true') was being made. The string can be used directly as
the conditional, because empty string evaluates to false as a boolean.
* corporation.getCorporation().divisions now returns an array of division names, instead of division objects. Use
corporation.getDivision(name) to get the division info object.
DEVELOPMENT
