Lucidious89 updated Essentials Deluxe with a new update entry:

v1.0.1 Update

Essentials Deluxe has received its first minor update. New code has been added to ensure that this plugin is now compatible with plugins that deal with overworld sprites, particularly Following Pokemon EX and Visible Overworld Encounters. Overworld sprites will now be recognized by this plugin and no longer cause conflicts. I've even set up...

One quick question, is it possible to make this compatible with the Name Boxes plugin by Mr. Gela? I can confirm, the plugin still works on v20.1, and it would be nice to have additional compatability to use name boxes in battle (especially since I can't seem to get names stored to variables to display...)

Don't think so. First of all, I barely understand how the message window code works in Essentials. Secondly, I don't think that plugin is designed for battle windows, just general message windows. From what I understand, they both work very differently. You'd basically need a brand new plugin just for battle windows I think.

v1.0.2 Update

Sorry for the back-to-back updates. This is just a minor update that tweaks a few things in preparation for the release of the ZUD Plugin.

More or less what I figured, alright! Just wanted to check o7

I do wonder though if it'd be possible to get variables like the Player Name and the Rival Name to show up in the windows, since "\pn" and "\v[xxx]" don't work...

Its definitely possible to get the trainer name. That already exists in the plugin, since it displays the name of the trainer during their speech. If you're trying to refer to the player/rival names though, youll probably have to set up some sort of variable for that. That's something i could keep in mind for a future update, I suppose.

Looking good excited to see what the focus meter system is

Looking good excited to see what the focus meter system is

Its the next one in the pipeline, its almost done. Im excited for that one in particular, because its the first plugin im releasing since v17.2 that is a completely original battle mechanic, not just something im adapting from the official games.

 

[tammyclaydon]

ooo looking forward to seeing it

Lucidious89 updated Essentials Deluxe [v20.1] with a new update entry:

v1.0.3 Update

Fixed an overlooked issue that still caused compatibility issues with Visible Overworld Encounters. Hopefully that's the last of it.

Any chance you can make this compatible with the Randomized Trainer Teams plugin?

Any chance you can make this compatible with the Randomized Trainer Teams plugin?

That plugin only changes a few lines of code in the trainer data/compiler...I would basically just have to incorporate their entire plugin into mine (since mine edits the same scripts). This would basically overshadow their work, which seems like an overreach on my part. I don't want to take over other creator's entire projects, just allow compatibility with them if possible.

It would make more sense imo to ask that creator to add compatibility with Essentials Deluxe, I think, rather than the other way around.

Lucidious89 updated Essentials Deluxe [v20.1] with a new update entry:

v1.0.4 Update

Minor Update (v1.0.4)
Added some new functionality for Midbattle options:

Triggers

• You may now add "random" to a midbattle trigger to have it trigger randomly one time. For example, "fainted_foe_random" may randomly trigger once per battle whenever a foe's Pokemon faints.
• You may combine "repeat" and "random" with a midbattle trigger to have it repeatedly trigger at random...

The text of the moves was black before I installed the plugin. Now they are white. I was wondering how could I change the text of the moves back to black? Thanks.

Check the Essentials patches for the fight menu, i suppose.

I deleted the Fight Menu file and it went back to how it was. Do I need that file?

Only if you plan on using literally any other plugin I release, such as ZUD. Any file included in the Essentials Patches folder are there to provide compatibility with my other plugins.

I don't think I'll be using them even though they do look cool.
