The description doesn't appear if you use berry trees

I was just thinking about what a great addition this would be! Glad to know there's a way to do this without a billion switches, haha. Thanks for making this!

Awesome script! Although I noticed that the current version does not work for Essentials v18, but it is easily fixable by removing all the "Kernel."s from "pbMessage", since Essentials v18 doesn't use the Kernels in the method names anymore.

Cheers for spotting this. I've updated the resource to include the fix.

Sorry for my ignorance, but, what's an instance? I want to modify the berry plants section but I don't know where exactly I need to put
this: $game_player.addFoundItem(berry)

I believe it means both times you see the line it says to search for. Each time you see the line would be an “instance” or “occurrence” of the line. So this paragraph would be an instance of me defining instance for you.

So basically search what it tells you to, and insert the code above each time you see it.

Assuming I read it right myself, I haven’t actually used it or anything, but I know I have the instance part right lol.

It works! Thanks for the clarification!

Is it compatible with V19? If not, will it be updated?

 

[boonzeet]

boonzeet updated Gen 8-Style Item Find Description with a new update entry:

Version 2.0 with v19.1 Support

Hello all, I've remade this as a plugin for v19.

New features include:

• Removed piggybacking on $Trainer object, replacing with v19's new SaveData system
• Uses aliases instead of rewriting methods, allowing the script to play better with other scripts that modify pbReceiveItem and pbItemBall
• New UI showing the title inside the message box!
• Now a plugin

Hope you enjoy!

For this plugin I only ended up changing 1 line in order for it to work on V20.1. please credit IA [IndianAnimator] when using it.

Will this be updated for v20+?

 

[REALMUGEN]

Thanks for sharing this script.

Is there any method to call it from other scripts?

I'm using Following EX and the item description doesn't appear when a Pokemon finds an item.

 

[Gardenette]

Will this be updated for v20+?

Working in v20.1 after changing
@sprites["itemicon"] = ItemIconSprite.new(42, Graphics.height - 48, -1, @viewport)
to
@sprites["itemicon"] = ItemIconSprite.new(42, Graphics.height - 48, nil, @viewport)

Thank you TechSkylander1518 for this solution!

To anyone else reading this, this script has one small broken part of it that affects berry trees.

At the bottom of the script, it replaces pbPickBerry which causes replanted berries to break and lets you farm berries infinitely. You want to put this at the end of the script

alias pbPickBerry_itemfind pbPickBerry
def pbPickBerry(berry, qty = 1)
  ret = pbPickBerry_itemfind(berry, qty)
  $item_log.register(berry) if $bag.has?(berry)
  return ret
end

I am using v20.1 and I used Gardenette's edits as well to make this script compatible. I'm not sure what the impact is on v19.1 but just to anyone else reading this.

I spent so long trying to figure out why the trees weren't disappearing and I figured it out. Too late it seems lol

Is anyone willing to take all of the above edits and release a v20.1 version?
