Joiplay Helper and Utilities

v21.1 Joiplay Helper and Utilities 1.0.4

This resource pertains to version 21.1 of Pokémon Essentials.
Pokémon Essentials Version
v21.1 ✅
Also compatible with
  1. v21.1
It's time to start giving back to the community after everyone helped me a lot with codes, I started to evolve and I seek to share resources with you to also add content and tools that improve our lives.

  • This script is dynamic to support Joiplay emulator and also some standard Essentials features.
Running external files or links.
  • This method can execute an external file such as a simple .txt or even a direct call to a link on the internet. It can be useful in many ways, such as connecting to online support chats or even inviting people to a Discord server, for example.
  • The best thing about the portability of this code is its compatibility with Joiplay, which recognizes this command differently. So, to avoid problems with emulation, use this model. A newer version is compatible, but an older one may cause errors, so we handle the exception.

Allowing or Blocking Emulator Joiplay
  • This method allows you to block access to your project in emulators like Bluestacks or any other that simulates Android on PC depending on your reasons.

Dealing with outdated Joiplay emulator
  • The version defined in this code is one of the most up-to-date currently and is compatible with many more features! You can select a more recent one if you want, this is my recommendation after several tests. Remember that the Google Play version has been discontinued and we follow via Patreon. So if you provide this compatibility offer a direct link to your player!
  • I've been monitoring older versions in real time, and they can have several issues if you allow the player to log in with an Android emulation carrying an old version of RPGM Plugin.

Allowing or not allowing Fast Forward in Joiplay
  • By default the emulator allows the player to enable or disable Fast Forward, with this you can control the blocking.
Ruby:
Expand Collapse Copy
Maker_Utilities.load_fast_forward_joiplay

Allowing Patches or not on Joiplay
  • This serves to create external fixes for possible problems in your game, but if you are going to port the game to the Joiplay Emulator, you must offer this support yourself, since any script could be run through the Patches, whether they are well-intentioned or not.

Blocking Cheats on Joiplay
  • Joiplay has default Cheats, but after a while we got support to disable them.
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
Maker_Utilities.blocking_cheats_on_joiplay

And also features for handling specific Pokémon in your box, team, or DayCare, as well as item handling and location.

Installation​

  1. Download and Extract:
    • Download the Maker Black Utilities plugin files.
    • Extract the files into your project's Plugins folder.

Customization​

  • Remember to configure the permissions to your liking at the top of the Script, to enable or disable functions.
  • You can customize the method to identify different data about a Pokémon, such as its gender, Poké Ball, and various other requirements defined in the Pokemon class.
So, now it's up to you! I'll soon update here with new methods that make our lives easier!
