Gear + Multiple Expansions

[kiwitrav]

Hi again, back with another low priority possible enhancement 😎

This is an easily worked-around QoL issue, by simply noting the gear you're using, switching to Vanilla and adding the gear pieces then switching back to the expansion, so very low priority.

Between plays if you need to refresh the page, but you're playing an expansion with vanilla (or any other expansion than your character) gear, it loses the gear.

My current specific example is Crimson Scales, while my char has mostly vanilla gear.

No idea if it's possible to save cross-expansion gear, but that would make things a little bit easier.

Thanks!

That's a pretty tough one to implement :(. Atm when we load the gear, we only load the items that are from the defined expansion, and fetch the equipped item from it. We could instead load the items from the current expansion plus vanilla, byt that would make loading heavier.

that's related to #154

Thanks for considering it, and yes it looks very like 154, though this is more of a mainstream issue than mixing ability cards.

To get around this I'm wondering if the player data can be decoupled from the selected expansion - instead using expansion+id to load the individually-selected cards for the user while select expansion is more for the selection interface in the Ability and Gear screens (with the selected cards stored as part of the player data)

However that sounds like a lot of work to restructure things like that, so maybe don't bother 😁

I added the bug label instead of enhancement, as this should be the normal behaviour :(

instead using expansion+id
That would be easier indeed, but would represent a big change in the way we store items and abilities. Necessary though !
