🗺️ Overworld 🗺️

Added

• Add OW_DEFOG_FIELD_MOVE to allow players to clear overworld Fog by @pkmnsnfrn in #6477 This behavior is enabled by setting OW_DEFOG_FIELD_MOVE to TRUE.
• Add Time-Based Encounters by @khbsd and @Pawkkie, @Artrios, @GriffinRichards, @ravepossum, @ghoulslash, @lhearachel probably more so tag me somewhere and ill add you! in #6454
  • Comes with a new conversion script, wild_encounters_to_header.py. On my machine i timed it out to about .02s, hopefully it wont add too much to the compile time on anyone elses computers
  • The conversion script can handle an unchanged wild_encounters.json just fine, but also plays nice with edited ones as far as I can tell
  • The migration script takes one optional argument, --copy
  • --copy will copy over all of the encounter tables (land_mons, water_mons, etc). default behavior just adds the base_label and if applicable, the map.
• Add B_RUN_TRAINER_BATTLE - players can run from Trainer Battles by @pkmnsnfrn and @wiz1989 wrote the original feature. in #6456
• Integrated merrp's lighting branch (Day/Night System) by @hedara90, @AsparagusEduardo for doing most of this PR and @aarant for the original implementation and feature branch, @Greenphx9 for their help merging to current expansion. in #6562
  • Changes from the base branch:
  • Uses Expansion's Fake RTC and updates its tinting refresh rate alongside with it.
  • Uses Expansion's constants (TIME_NIGHT instead of TIME_OF_DAY_NIGHT). This allows it to:
  • Use different tinting for Morning vs Evening compared to the original branch.
  • Use Expansion's OW_TIMES_OF_DAYconfig that allows users to set their own times by generation.
  • Added option to disable object event shadows
  • Added option to turn DNS on or off, OW_ENABLE_DNS
  • Added option to for vanilla shadow behaviour, OW_OBJECT_VANILLA_SHADOWS
  • Scripts containing consecutive removeobject <object> and addobject
