Form information ，gender information and shiny information,

Ok, show me how you had it set up before that allowed it to work.

Alright then. Still not really sure exactly what it is that you were having issues with, but if it works, it works.

Sorry to bother, it did recover, maybe I didn't do it properly before

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

v1.2.4 Update

• Fixed some speech in DEMO_VS_SADA_PHASE_1 from displaying the wrong speaker.
• Fixed how the :ignore midbattle key works so that it no longer repeats infinitely until the conditions for the ignore are met. The trigger now only occurs once (unless set to repeat), regardless if the trigger was ignored or not.
• The :useitem midbattle key can now be triggered by wild Pokemon, allowing them to use items on themselves in battle, as if they...

How can I set team effects on the opponent's side?
I wanted to apply both Mist and Safeguard to the opponent's team, but it applies them to the player's team instead.
Here's what I did:

{ # Midbattle
  "turnCommand" => { # Triggers during the Command Phase of turn 0.
    :team => [
   [PBEffects::Mist, 99,],
   [PBEffects::Safeguard, 99]
]

]

All of the "turn" triggers defaults to the player since no particular trainer triggers these. For cases like these, you set the :battler key to the battler/side index you want to apply things to.

Hey @Lucidious89,
really love your plugin so far!
I got a question regarding your outliner script.
Because of how my Pokédex looks, I want to outline the sprites with white, but I can't quite make it work.

The script I mean is the following:

class PokemonPokedex_Scene
  def setIconBitmap(species)
    gender, form, shiny, gmax, shadow = $player.pokedex.last_form_seen(species)
    shiny = false if !Settings::POKEDEX_SHINY_FORMS
    shadow = false if !Settings::POKEDEX_SHADOW_FORMS
    @sprites["icon"].setSpeciesBitmap(species, gender, form, shiny, shadow, false, false, false, gmax)
    if !$player.seen?(@sprites["pokedex"].species)
      @sprites["icon"].tone = Tone.new(-255,-255,-255,255)
    else
      @sprites["icon"].tone = Tone.new(0,0,0,0)
    end
    if PluginManager.installed?("Generation 8 Pack Scripts")
      @sprites["icon"].constrict([224, 216]) if !defined?(EliteBattle)
    end
  end
end

The sprite to be outlined is @sprites["icons"].
I already took a look at your other script sections, but I don't quite get the hang of the object-parameter your pbAddSpriteOutline demands.

I already tried variations of this, but had no success:

        pbAddSpriteOutline(["icon", @viewport, species, PictureOrigin::CENTER])

Is there anything I am missing?

This is interesting. I never really expected anyone to bother utilizing this feature of Essentials Deluxe, so it's only really designed to work for my narrow uses. Mainly, I needed this to be used for sprites used by specific Pokemon objects (such as in the Summary, or in battle), but it isn't built to support species sprites that aren't linked to actual Pokemon (like in the Pokedex).

However, with some minor edits, it can be reworked to allow for this.
In the plugin, replace def pbAddSpriteOutline with this updated method:

def pbAddSpriteOutline(param = [], color = Color.white, border = 2, opacity = 255)
  key, viewport, object, offset = param[0], param[1], param[2], param[3]
  return if !@sprites || !@sprites.has_key?(key) || param.empty?
  for i in 0..7
    outline = key + "_outline#{i}"
    case @sprites[key]
    when PokemonSprite
      @sprites[outline] = PokemonSprite.new(viewport)
      @sprites[outline].setOffset(offset)
      case object
      when Pokemon
        @sprites[outline].setPokemonBitmap(object)
        object.species_data.apply_metrics_to_sprite(@sprites[outline], 1, nil, object.gmax_factor? ? 2 : 1)
      when Symbol
        @sprites[outline].setSpeciesBitmap(*object)
      end
    when PokemonIconSprite
      @sprites[outline] = PokemonIconSprite.new(object, viewport)
      @sprites[outline].setOffset(offset)
    when PokemonSpeciesIconSprite
      @sprites[outline] = PokemonSpeciesIconSprite.new(object, viewport)
    when ItemIconSprite
      @sprites[outline] = ItemIconSprite.new(0, 0, object, viewport)
    when HeldItemIconSprite
      @sprites[outline] = HeldItemIconSprite.new(0, 0, object, viewport)
    else
      @sprites[outline] = IconSprite.new(0, 0, viewport)
      @sprites[outline].bitmap = @sprites[key].bitmap
    end
    @sprites[outline].visible = @sprites[key].visible
    @sprites[outline].mirror = @sprites[key].mirror
    @sprites[outline].color = color
    @sprites[outline].opacity = opacity
    @sprites[outline].x = @sprites[key].x
    @sprites[outline].y = @sprites[key].y
    @sprites[outline].z = @sprites[key].z
    case i
    when 0; @sprites[outline].x += border
    when 1; @sprites[outline].x -= border
    when 2; @sprites[outline].y += border
    when 3; @sprites[outline].y -= border
    when 4
      @sprites[outline].x -= border
      @sprites[outline].y -= border
    when 5
      @sprites[outline].x += border
      @sprites[outline].y -= border
    when 6
      @sprites[outline].x -= border
      @sprites[outline].y += border
    when 7
      @sprites[outline].x += border
      @sprites[outline].y += border
    end
  end
  @sprites[key].z = @sprites[key + "_outline7"].z + 1
end

Similarly, replace def pbUpdateOutline with this:

def pbUpdateOutline(sprite, pokemon)
  return if !@sprites || !@sprites.has_key?(sprite)
  for i in 0..7
    key = sprite + "_outline#{i}"
    next if !@sprites[key]
    next if !(@sprites[key].is_a?(PokemonSprite) || @sprites[key].is_a?(PokemonIconSprite))
    if pokemon.is_a?(Pokemon)
      case @sprites[key]
      when PokemonSprite
        @sprites[key].setPokemonBitmap(pokemon)
        pokemon.species_data.apply_metrics_to_sprite(@sprites[key], 1, nil, pokemon.gmax_factor? ? 2 : 1)
        @sprites[key].applyEffects(pokemon)
      when PokemonIconSprite
        @sprites[key].pokemon = pokemon
        @sprites[key].applyIconEffects
      end
    else
      @sprites[key].setSpeciesBitmap(*pokemon)
    end
  end
end

Now these methods will support species sprites. To utilize them in the Pokedex, first find def pbStartScene located in the UI_Pokedex_Main section of the Essentials script. Underneath the lines where @sprites["icon"] is set, add this line:

pbAddSpriteOutline(["icon", @viewport, nil, PictureOrigin::CENTER])

This will initialize the outline sprites.

Then, update your setIconBitmap method to look like this:

class PokemonPokedex_Scene
  def setIconBitmap(species)
    gender, form, shiny, gmax, shadow = $player.pokedex.last_form_seen(species)
    shiny = false if !Settings::POKEDEX_SHINY_FORMS
    shadow = false if !Settings::POKEDEX_SHADOW_FORMS
    poke_data = [species, gender, form, shiny, shadow, false, false, false, gmax]
    @sprites["icon"].setSpeciesBitmap(*poke_data)
    if !$player.seen?(@sprites["pokedex"].species)
      @sprites["icon"].tone = Tone.new(-255,-255,-255,255)
    else
      @sprites["icon"].tone = Tone.new(0,0,0,0)
    end
    pbUpdateOutline("icon", poke_data)
    if PluginManager.installed?("Generation 8 Pack Scripts")
      @sprites["icon"].constrict([224, 216]) if !defined?(EliteBattle)
    end
  end
end

This will update the outline sprites of the species whenever the Pokedex is updated to display a new species.

Thank you so much!
That worked like a charm!

I actually just stumbled upon that script after installing your plugin - I have been looking for something like this for quite some time!
You might wanna add it to your tutorials, as it can be used in many more helpful ways. :)

Hello! In version 1.2.4 of Essentials Deluxe, the script section [000] Essentials Patches Battle.rb causes an issue where in a double battle, the partner is stated to have sent out the player's Pokemon and vice versa.
Correct (Battle.rb removed):

Incorrect (with Battle.rb):

I see, I'll fix this eventually.

Two questions:
1. In a triple battle, how do I choose which opponent gets the mid-battle dialogue?
2. Would it be possible to add a flag that forces a Pokemon to always be sent out last?

1) When you set speech as an array, you can set the index of the desired speaker prior to the speech that you want them to say. This is covered in the tutorial.

2) by default, Essentials already makes it so the last Pokemon in a trainer's lineup will always be sent out last. No flag is necessary.

 

[Neeka]

This is probably an ultra-stupid question, but when you say to extract it to the "root" essentials file, where do I find the root?

Your main project folder.

 

[Lucidious89]

Yeah the whole point is that you wanna drag and drop so that all the folders included in the plugin just merge with the existing project folders. So Audio merges with Audio, Graphics with Graphics, etc, etc.
