Resource Nuzlocke Permadeath v2.2

NettoHikari submitted a new resource:

Nuzlocke Permadeath - Provides Nuzlocke-style permadeath for Pokemon battles

Hello, I’ve made a plug-and-play script that enables a Nuzlocke-style permadeath mode to battles. Basically, when it’s activated, any fainted Pokemon disappear immediately from the player’s party, whether that’s during battle or out in the field (due to poison). This is different from other Nuzlocke scripts in that it completely removes dead Pokemon from the player’s party, rather than just marking them “dead” and making them impossible to heal. The script is fairly easy to use, and I’ve put...

What happens to a Save after the player gets defeated on the Nuzlocke Mode?
Is there a way to completely delete it right after the defeat from the script?

What happens to a Save after the player gets defeated on the Nuzlocke Mode?
Is there a way to completely delete it right after the defeat from the script?

When a player gets defeated in Nuzlocke mode, it will simply go back to the title screen without touching the save, i.e. if the player saves before a battle, then loses, the player's save from just before the battle will still be there. I didn't want my script to force-delete a player's save because I imagine there are users who wouldn't like that, but it does seem like a good idea to make it a setting that you can enable at the top of the script. I'll update the script soon and let you know how to enable that option.

@BiggusWeeabus You can now set the constant "DELETE_SAVE_IN_NUZLOCKE" equal to "true" on line 132 of the updated script. Hope that works out!

Great!

Oh, also. It would be great to show an image from /pictures as Game Over screen, actual text doesn't look quite as good

Oh sorry, I didn't see this message until just now. I just put actual text as a sort of placeholder, but if you (or anyone else) wants to use a picture instead, you can just replace this line under "def pbStartOver(gameover=false)":

pbMessage(_INTL("\\w[]\\wm\\c[8]\\l[3]GAME OVER!"))

with code to show and erase a picture. Something like this should work:

# Fill in the values below for your specific image
$game_screen.pictures[0].show(name, origin, x, y, zoom_x, zoom_y, opacity, blend_type)
pbWait(20)
$game_screen.pictures[0].erase

All righty then, thank you!

How do I implement a custom Game Over Screen for this script?

I literally answered this question two posts above yours. Or did you mean something else?

 

[PorousMist]

Yes, that and one more thing: Where in the script can I make BGM play during the game over sequence?

 

[TechSkylander1518]

You'd put it in the same section.

What TechSkylander said - you'd put the script "pbBGMPlay("music file name here")" just before showing the picture in the code above.

Would you mind explaining how to fill out the values for the $game_screen.pictures[0]show command? I've tried to do this and I keep getting errors because I'm not using the right syntax

• Name is "filename" with the quotes around it
• Origin is 0 for top left, 1 for center
• x and y are just numbers for the coordinates
• zoom_x and zoom_y are also just numbers, but they're the % zoom
• opacity is 0 to 255
• blend_type is 0 for normal, 1 for additive, 2 for subtractive

You can also use pbShowPicture for the same command!

pbShowPicture(number,name,origin,x,y,zoomX=100,zoomY=100,opacity=255,blendType=0)

pbShowPicture doesn't need everything defined, which is helpful!


Also, this might have tripped you up because it definitely tripped me up lol, but if you're getting an error about "undefined method for nil class", change pictures[0] to pictures[1] or something else higher!

Thanks a ton for this! It'll be very helpful.
