Pokémon Fainting Cries - v19

Pokémon Essentials Version: v19.1 ➖

Overview
You know in the Mainline games, Pikachu and Eevee have their Anime Cries, and that when they faint, they have a unique cry for that. This simple little addition will allow you to add a Faint Cry for any Pokémon!

Installation

Go to PokeBattle_SceneAnimations and find the section labeled "# Shows a Pokémon fainting" and within that section, find the part labeled "# Play cry" and replace it with this:

Code:

    # Play cry
    delay = 10
    cry = GameData::Species.cry_filename_from_pokemon(batSprite.pkmn)
    faint_cry = GameData::Species.faint_cry_filename_from_pokemon(batSprite.pkmn)
    if faint_cry
      battler.setSE(0, faint_cry, nil, 100)   # 100 is pitch
      delay = GameData::Species.cry_length(batSprite.pkmn) * 20 / Graphics.frame_rate
    elsif cry
      battler.setSE(0, cry, nil, 70)
      delay = GameData::Species.cry_length(batSprite.pkmn) * 20 / Graphics.frame_rate
    end

It should look like this once you've pasted it:

Go to Species_Files and find the section starting with "def self.cry_filename_from_pokemon(pkmn)"
Underneat that section, paste this section of code.

Code:

    # Faint Cry Filenames
    def self.check_faint_cry_file(species, form)
      species_data = self.get_species_form(species, form)
      return nil if species_data.nil?
      if form > 0
        ret = sprintf("Cries/%s_%d_F", species_data.species, form)
        return ret if pbResolveAudioSE(ret)
      end
      ret = sprintf("Cries/%s_F", species_data.species)
      return (pbResolveAudioSE(ret)) ? ret : nil
    end
 
    def self.faint_cry_filename(species, form = 0)
      return self.check_faint_cry_file(species, form)
    end
 
    def self.faint_cry_filename_from_pokemon(pkmn)
      return self.check_faint_cry_file(pkmn.species, pkmn.form)
    end

It should look like this once you've pasted it:

And that is the Installation Process complete.

EBDX Installation

Perform the previous Installation and then start in your Project's Root Folder and go to the directory: "\Plugins\Elite Battle DX\[000] Scripts\Battle Scene Animations\" and open Animation Core.rb in a Text Editor like Notepad or Notepad++
Find "# play cry" and the line underneath, "playBattlerCry(@battlers[pkmn.index])", replace them with this:

Code:

    # play cry
    faint_cry = GameData::Species.faint_cry_filename_from_pokemon(pkmn)
    if faint_cry
      pbSEPlay(faint_cry)
    else
      playBattlerCry(@battlers[pkmn.index])
    end

And that is the EBDX Installation Process complete.

Debug File Renamer Edit

In "Debug_MenuSpriteRenamer", find the section of code that begins with "Debug_MenuSpriteRenamer" and replace it with the following code:

Code:

  def convert_pokemon_cries(src_dir)
    return if !FileTest.directory?(src_dir)
    # generates a list of all audio files
    files = readDirectoryFiles(src_dir, ["*.wav", "*.mp3", "*.ogg"])
    # starts automatic renaming
    files.each_with_index do |file, i|
      Graphics.update if i % 100 == 0
      pbSetWindowText(_INTL("Converting Pokémon cries {1}/{2}...", i, files.length)) if i % 50 == 0
      #Faint Cries
      if file[/^(\d+)FCry[^\.]*\.([^\.]*)$/]
        species_number = $~[1].to_i
        extension = $~[2]
        form = (file[/FCry_(\d+)\./]) ? sprintf("_%s", $~[1]) : ""
        species_data = GameData::Species.try_get(species_number)
        raise _INTL("Species {1} is not defined (trying to rename species cry {2}).", species_number, file) if !species_data
        species = species_data.id.to_s
        File.move(src_dir + file, src_dir + species + form + "_F." + extension)
      #Normal Cries
      elsif file[/^(\d+)Cry[^\.]*\.([^\.]*)$/]
        species_number = $~[1].to_i
        extension = $~[2]
        form = (file[/Cry_(\d+)\./]) ? sprintf("_%s", $~[1]) : ""
        species_data = GameData::Species.try_get(species_number)
        raise _INTL("Species {1} is not defined (trying to rename species cry {2}).", species_number, file) if !species_data
        species = species_data.id.to_s
        File.move(src_dir + file, src_dir + species + form + "." + extension)
      end
    end
  end

And now you should be able to rename v18 Faint Cry Files using the Debug Menu.

How to use
Name your cry Audio File "SPECIES_F" with whatever File Extension you are using.
Put your cry in Audio\SE\Cries, no need to create any new folders.
