BW Pokedex + In-Depth Data Page compatibility patch - Best of both worlds! Courtesy of NikDie with permission to share :)

The fangame Pokemon Eon Guardians by @NikDie includes both the BW Pokedex for v21.1 (original by @DeepBlue PacificWaves ) and the In-Depth Pokedex Data Page by @Lucidious89 . Intending to merge these myself, I contacted NikDie on Discord about his experience merging these two plugins...

Can you describe what you changed in the Pokedex Data Page code that warrants replacing the entire plugin? At a glance, it looks like it's pretty much just asset swaps.

Yo! Sure thing:

[000] GameData.rb is identical

[001] Page Setup.rb:
  • DATA_TEXT_TAGS have been inverted for suit a darker message box, along with a new color for white text
  • Under def drawPage(page), a resetItemIcon call was added after pbResetFamilyIcons

[002] Main Page.rb
  • introduces def resetItemIcon
  • adds custom initialization to def drawPageData to support scrolling / animated BG

[003] Sub Menu.rb
  • after line 113, return if list.empty?: added pbResetFamilyIcons and resetItemIcon
  • lines 434, 435: removed @sprites["leftarrow"].visible = false and @sprites["rightarrow"].visible = false
  • line 470: removed imagepos.push([_INTL("Graphics/UI/Pokedex/icon_own"), 14, 50])
  • line 506: used white text DATA_TEXT_TAGS[4]
  • after line 592, return if list.empty?: added pbResetFamilyIcons and resetItemIcon
  • lines 663 & 665: used white text DATA_TEXT_TAGS[4]

[004] Moves Menu.rb
  • after line 174 pbSEPlay("GUI storage hide party panel"): added @page = 4
  • after line 176 pbDrawDataNotes: added @typebitmap2&.dispose
  • line 205: changed to
`@sprites["background"].setBitmap(_INTL("Graphics/UI/Pokedex/bg_databg"))
@sprites["infoverlay"].setBitmap(_INTL(path + "bg_moves"))`
- after line 208 overlay.clear: commented out drawPageIcons, added:
`textpos = [[_INTL("Data"),80,10,:center,Color.new(255,255,255),Color.new(115,115,115)]]
pbDrawTextPositions(overlay,textpos)`
  • lines 225 - 229: de-capitalized move list titles (ex: "LEVEL-UP" -> "Level-Up") to suit BW UI more
  • lines 249 & 250: replaced :base, :shadow with :base2, :shadow2
  • lines 315 - 319: more de-capitalization of some words + use of :base2, :shadow2
  • lines 323, 333: replaced :base, :shadow with :base2, :shadow2

[005] Data Messages.rb
  • mostly replacing t[0] (dark text color) with t[4] (white text color)
  • other inversions of text colors to support darker message box used
  • minor re-positioning of text
 
I also went ahead and updated the credits section of this page to more accurately reflect all the contributors :)
 
At some future date, I would like to:
  • re-structure the code to display distinct "Info" / "Area" / "Forms" / "Data" graphics (following the Modular UI scenes convention)
  • resolve any text mis-alignment issues
  • add Mouse Support compatibility via Luka S.J.'s Easy Mouse System
  • update to v22
but atm, I'm fatigued from UI work and would like to work on my own game for a while
😅

you don't need to use the Easy Mouse System, his latests Utilities Plugin already have a build-in system for mouse inputs

Yeah, I saw that. This is built on Luka's Scripting Utilities, v3.3 (like @DeepBlue PacificWaves 's original BW Pokedex plugin), as is my Open-Source EBDX Renovation project & @Manurocker95 's PWT port, so I'll likely just copy/paste Easy Mouse System into v3.3 & credit accordingly lol.

Or perhaps I'll update everything to Luka's Scripting Utilities 4.x at some point, probably after a stable release of Essentials v22!
 
Im a bit confused. I'm getting an error everytime i try to view the info on a pokemon.

So I removed the In-depth-view plugin and installed this, along with the other things that the instructions told me to do. However, I still kept getting an error, so I brought the IDVP back and got this.

(this is what I get without the IDVP)

And which other plugins are you using?

It was set to 60 on default when I brought back the MUD_002 IDVP. But when I got rid of it, it wasnt defined anywhere.

Hey! So the DP Pause menu requires Marin's Scripting Utilities, hence the issues of undefined methods.

I shall investigate further for your issues with the BW Pokedex. Sorry to hear your issues!

Note that this version relies on the in-depth Pokedex data page, so it cannot be deleted easily. If you want, you could use NoNoNever's port of the BW Pokedex for v21.1 (not compatible with In-Depth Data Page) and replace some of its graphics with my version as desired :)

That's fine. I'll wait for this version to be updated as I really like what you did with it!
Good Luck! And thanks for making awesome stuff!
