- Pokémon Essentials Version
- v19.1 ➖
A simple mod that adds an option for the player to change the encounter rate of the game at any moment they desire.
Heavily inspired by a similar feature in the Bravely Default JRPG. Being able to alternate between easily farming monsters when I wanted something from them and being able to turn them off when I just wanted to explore the world was a breath of fresh air and I found myself annoyed at random encounters playing through a couple fangames lately, so I decided to try and see if I could replicate the feature in RPG Maker.
In order to let the player easily cycle through the values without being overly tedious, I went with a custom numeric enum instead of the usual numeric slider. This lets use a list of values that goes like
0,10,25,50,75,90,100,125,150,200,300,400,500,750,1000,2000,4000,8000,10000 (you can easily customize that). That way, it doesn't take too many inputs to go through the whole thing while still giving a wide range of options to the player.
Values are in percentage, so 0% obviously amounts to turning off encounters, while 10000% basically means an encounter every step. (It actually takes quite a huge value to get to that result)
Installation instructions :
-Just drop the extracted folder in your plugin folder. Barring the possible incompatiblity with a plugin that also interferes with "encounter_triggered?" or "PokemonOption_Scene.pbStartScene", there shouldn't be any problem.
I hope you get a use out of this thing !
