• Hi, Guest!
    Some images might be missing as we move away from using embedded images, sorry for the mess!
    From now on, you'll be required to use a third party to host images. You can learn how to add images here, and if your thread is missing images you can request them here.

Display IVs in the summary screen with graphics

Display IVs in the summary screen with graphics 1.0

Pokémon Essentials Version
v18 ➖
What's this?
Ever wanted to display IVs, but don't want to display them as numbers? That's just boring to me! With this resource you'll be able to show graphics (star graphics included) next to a Pokémon's stat in it's summary screen, allowing the player to judge by themselves.

Design notes
You might want to have a way to "Hyper Train" Pokémon in your game. IVs is not something people seek after in a fangame, is it? You won't see me resetting a hundred times for a better Pokémon, and I will definetely not breed for IVs in a Pokémon fangame without any kind of competitive scene, so why not allow the player to change the IVs in some way? The die-hard challenge-runners that desperately need the best Pokémon ever have a way of not having to ditch their Pokémon because it has sub-par stats.

You could also only display the stars at a certain NPC, or only after a switch was flipped ON.

Show me the goods!

Installation
Extract the files inside your /Graphics/Pictures/Summary/ folder. You will need to overwrite one file (if using the stock Essentials summary screen - otherwise, be creative or learn how drawing the graphics works!).

Go to PScreen_Summary. Find "def drawPageThree". Before that, add this chunk of code:
(In V17.2 and below, the method is "def drawPageThree(pokemon)".

Code:
def drawRating(pokemon)
overlay=@sprites["overlay"].bitmap
#overlay.clear
imagepos=[]

stars=[] # Array of each star depending on IVs
for i in 0..5
  if pokemon.iv[i] >= 21 # Best star above 21 IVs
stars.push(3)
  elsif pokemon.iv[i] >= 11 # Okay star between 11-20 IVs
stars.push(2)
  elsif pokemon.iv[i] >= 1  # Bad star between 1-10 IVs
stars.push(1)
  elsif pokemon.iv[i] == 0  # Worst star at 0 IVs
stars.push(0)
  end
end
# Draw stars
  path="Graphics/Pictures/Summary/summaryRating"
imagepos.push([path,472,76,stars[0]*32,0,32,-1])
imagepos.push([path,472,120,stars[1]*32,0,32,-1])
imagepos.push([path,472,120+32,stars[2]*32,0,32,-1])
imagepos.push([path,472,120+32*2,stars[4]*32,0,32,-1])
imagepos.push([path,472,120+32*3,stars[5]*32,0,32,-1])
imagepos.push([path,472,120+32*4,stars[3]*32,0,32,-1])
pbDrawImagePositions(overlay,imagepos)
  end

Now, going back to "def drawPageThree(pokemon)" find "overlay = @sprites["overlay"].bitmap" and add this line below:
Code:
drawRating(@pokemon)

That's all you have to do! If you want to change what star is used depending on the IVs, check the comments I made in the script.

Works great in V 18. I made some different sprites using game-icons, but the ones you provided are functional.
nice resource! i'm loving the idea of simplifying reviewing IV specs a lot! and for specifics, you could just have an event read them out anyways lol
Excelent resource would love to see it updated for 17
