Boon's Phenomena: BW Style Grass Rustle, Cave Dust + More

v20.1 Boon's Phenomena: BW Style Grass Rustle, Cave Dust + More 3.0.1

This resource pertains to version 20.1 of Pokémon Essentials.
Pokémon Essentials Version
v20.1 ➖
Phenomenon

My favourite feature of Black and White was the phenomena - random events that let you snag good items or rare Pokémon, or even just fighting Audinos for a good EXP boost. So I've created it in Essentials!

Features
  • All 4 random events - Grass rustling, Water bubbles, Cave dust and Flying birds, complete with sound effects
  • Random item drops for caves and birds
  • Distance-based sound effect volume
  • Custom battle music option
  • No need for events - works with terrain tags (Grass, Water, Rock and a custom one for Bird locations)
  • Toggleable with a switch to protect cutscene
  • Optional settings to add chances for experience boosts, shininess, perfect IVs, hidden abilities and egg moves
  • Block areas of your map you don't want phenomena to appear, such as on the other side of rocks on a surf route!
To Install
First, download the attached zip file and extract to your game folder. It has an optional Animations.rxdata. If using the Animations, ensure RPG Maker XP is closed while replacing the rxdata file.

Configuration can be found in Plugins/Boons_Phenomena/000_Config.rb. To set up phenomena for a map, use the Debug menu and set up the encounter types. They are as follows: PhenomenonGrass, PhenomenonWater, PhenomenonCave and PhenomenonBird. The switch defined in config must be set to ON and the player must have a party for phenomena to appear.

Latest reviews

An excellent addition to your project. The option to customize the encounters is by far my favorite feature, since it takes the basic premise of the system and goes a step further.
Works great, but keep in mind:
- Script comment says the switch DISABLES the encounter phenomena when in reality it ENABLES it
- The animation IDs for the constants do not match the IDs in the example Animations.rxdata so if you use the included one just remember that.

Good catch on both of these, my bad! Updated to fix them. Thanks for the review :)
