How to add animated battle sprites in v20.1

[TheDizzy1]

I want to add animated pokemon for battles and the pokedex just like when you use EBDX for v19, but for v20.1. The game i'm making needs this feature and other things that i want to use are only for v20.1 and not v19. Is there any possible way to add animated sprites?

Do you mean animated sprites as in the gen 5 way? As far as I know there's currently no plugins available for it in v20 yet, but uh give it a few days and I feel like there will be a plugin for v20 for that

Yes in gen 5 style. I know there was a way previously without EBDX, but I couldn’t find any info about it.

I actually just learned that the Gen 8 Pack has support for animated Pokémon like that. I'd suggest taking a look there

Install Gen 8 pack, than rename the pokemons u need to be aninated from ebdx, and plac them, all done.

You can use Tenshi's Animated Battlers based on EBDX with only a few edits to your scripts, you can make it work for 20.1

I have applied Tenshi's script to v20.1 for both Pokemon and character portraits. You can read my comments under Tenshi's threads for more details, but this should be enough:

Tenshi's script: around line 60-90 iirc

@bitmapFile = pbBitmap(file)

with

@bitmap=RPG::Cache.load_bitmap("", file)

Species_files script: line 70, all of the three instances of

return (filename) ? AnimatedBitmap.new(filename) : nil

with

return (filename) ? AnimatedPokemonBitmap.new(filename) : nil

as well as the instances in the shadow pokemon section around line 158 and further down.
