FEAT: Options for SET default behavior #146

Closed jmynes closed 1 year ago

jmynes commented 1 year ago

I often find myself switching to Showdown Usage while playing randoms on Gen 3 OU ladder, where it would be nice to be able to have it default to Showdown Usage instead of the first set from Smogon.

Perhaps a dropdown or setting for which behavior the user wants would be useful. If that's too crowded, then a simple toggle for defaulting to Showdown Usage would be great.

This comes up frequently when calcing damage against a Skarmory, as almost all players are running Defensive stats, not Offensive stats.

Haha for a sec there, I was like huh wat, you're playing Randoms (as in the format, not random people) in OU ?!

Actually funny enough, there's a setting for exactly what you're talking about called Apply Usage Sets First in the Calcdex section:

showdex-hellodex-settings-pane-prioritize-usage-stats

We found in the past when rolling out the version with usage stats that the majority of people preferred Smogon stats with the usage info in the dropdowns, instead of the Showdown Usage set, hence why it's default off (as shown in the screenshot above). Figured nobody else would care, but I personally wanted it to default to the usage set, so I made it into a setting then (glad I did tho)!

Let me know if that does the trick! c:

How do you access these settings? I can't find the panel

Aha, I have to have Hellodex open, which I can't seem to reopen once closed, unless I refresh

The timing HAHA

Showdex doesn't behave like your traditional browser extension when you click on the Showdex icon next to all your other extensions, which would normally bring up a popup, take you to some page, etc. (Currently does nothing.) Definitely aware of that (& caused some confusion for some users who didn't even know if it was installed/working properly, but that's totally fair & don't blame them), so adding a lil menu for that is in the pipeline, just real low in the priority queue cause the calc is our number one priority hahah.

Oh ya, that's also something we have planned in the pipeline as well (being able to reopen the Hellodex & even not have it auto-open when Showdown starts). For now tho, you do gotta refresh :c

Sorry about that!
