TechSkylander1518 updated Battle Foregrounds with a new update entry:

v19 Update

This script is technically already perfectly compatible with v19, it's just the way that I made it plug-and-play isn't compatible with v19. So I've changed it to be step-by-step instructions for how to put it in rather than a plug-and-play script, because:

• It feels cleaner to me to just put in a few lines rather than re-define several large sections for a minor change
• Since the steps are the same, I only need one section for v18 and v19 (plus it'll make it easier to test...

TechSkylander1518 updated Battle Foregrounds with a new update entry:

v20 Update

Quick update to the instructions to explain how to add this in v20. Like the v19 update, nothing about the code has changed, just where you're putting it. Because of this, I've just written the instructions for v20 and noted where things are different for prior versions, but if it's too jumbled up with all the "for x version do y", I might begin splitting it up.

This doesn’t seem to have anything to do with this script? Your screenshot doesn’t even have a foreground.

If your names were fine before adding this script, please let me know what other plugins you have so I can check for any incompatibilities. But this looks to me like you’re missing a step to adding the dark battle UI, and that’s not what this thread is about.

NAME_BASE_COLOR to white, and it's fine :D

I put the code in the places it was to on the page and double checked then before the battel with the camper from the base essentials I added the script setBattleRule("foreground","spotlight") (spotlight is the name of the file it was sent with) and I get this message:

[Pokémon Essentials version 20.1]

[v20.1 Hotfixes 1.0.7]

Script error in event 7 (coords 13,19), map 2 (Lappet Town)

Exception: SyntaxError

Message: (eval):2: syntax error, unexpected ',', expecting ')'

("foreground","spotlight")

^

***Line '("foreground","spotlight")' shouldn't begin with '('. Try putting the '('

at the end of the previous line instead, or using 'extendtext.exe'.

***Full script:

setBattleRule

("foreground","spotlight")

sady that doesn’t mean much to me.

It tells you what to do right here- put the ( at the end of the previous line, like this-

setBattleRule(
“foreground","spotlight")

or use extendtext.exe to make the box bigger so you can fit it all on one line.

Sorry, something seems to have gone on with my phone's keyboard there, and it added a smartquote where it shouldn't have. Just fix that first quotation mark.
