Text input settings controlled by the player

Text input settings controlled by the player 2017-02-16

Pokémon Essentials Version
v16.2 ➖
THIS FEATURE IS NOW NATIVE TO POKéMON ESSENTIALS AS OF VERSION 17.

What's this?
Pokémon Essentials allows you to choose whether the text input (naming the player, rival, nicknaming a Pokémon...) works like in the main games or it uses keyboard input. If you didn't know, this is the last setting in your Settings script section and is false by default. With this resource, you'll be able to add a new setting to the options screen, allowing the player to switch between the two at will. Personally, I prefer keyboard input as it's much more natural but I understand some people would like to keep the original text input, so why not let the player choose? Let's do that!

Show me the goods!
Not much to show here! First is without keyboard input, next is keyboard input and after that is our NEW setting in the options screen.

Installation

Do note this will override your setting in the Settings section. Not a big deal, but I'm letting you know.
Open your script editor and go to the "PScreen_Options" section. Find "class PokemonSystem".
Below "attr_accessor :sevolume" we'll be adding "attr_accessor :input". Now go down a bit until you see:
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
def sevolume
	return (!@sevolume) ? 100 : @sevolume
  end
We'll be adding a new method below it:
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
def input
	return (!@input) ? 0 : @input
  end
Now let's skip to "@sevolume = 100 # Volume of sound effects" and add this below:
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
	@input	   = 0   # Keyboard input ON by default, switch to 0 for classic by default
Halfway there! Now find this piece of code:
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
EnumOption.new(_INTL("Font Style"),[_INTL("Em"),_INTL("R/S"),_INTL("FRLG"),_INTL("DP")],
		  proc { $PokemonSystem.font },
		  proc {|value|
			 $PokemonSystem.font=value
			 MessageConfig.pbSetSystemFontName($VersionStyles[value])
		  }
	   ),
And let's add something below it:
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
	   EnumOption.new(_INTL("Input Style"),[_INTL("Keyboard"),_INTL("Classic")],
		  proc { $PokemonSystem.input },
		  proc {|value| $PokemonSystem.input=value }
	   ),
Almost done! We need to add one method, anywhere above main. I like to keep a section named "Misc. Scripts" and just throw it there.
Code:
Expand Collapse Copy
def pbEnterText(helptext,minlength,maxlength,initialText="",mode=0,pokemon=nil,nofadeout=false)
  ret=""
  if $PokemonSystem.input==1 # Classic Input
	pbFadeOutIn(99999,nofadeout){
	   sscene=PokemonEntryScene2.new
	   sscreen=PokemonEntry.new(sscene)
	   ret=sscreen.pbStartScreen(helptext,minlength,maxlength,initialText,mode,pokemon)
	}
  elsif $PokemonSystem.input==nil || $PokemonSystem.input==0 # Keyboard Input
	pbFadeOutIn(99999,nofadeout){
	   sscene=PokemonEntryScene.new
	   sscreen=PokemonEntry.new(sscene)
	   ret=sscreen.pbStartScreen(helptext,minlength,maxlength,initialText,mode,pokemon)
	}
  end
  return ret
end

That's it! By default, keyboard input is on, and the player can change this at any time through the Options screen. Hopefully you understood some of the changes we've made, which will help you add more settings in the future.
