[Luka's Elite Battle System] Gen 6-style trainer battle intro

Okay, so here is how to incorporate the Gen 6-styled Trainer introduction at the start of battles. The only sections that are going to be modified are: PSystem_Utilities, EliteBattle_Scene, and EliteBattle_Sprites, hence this requires Luka S.J.'s Elite Battle System.
Remember that the resource pack I know that contains the Gen 6 mugshots use a 512x256 resolution, so the mugshots that you want to use must be resized to 512x512, with the mugshot taking the upper half of the image file.

In PSystem_Utilities, add this function starting at line 1343:

Code:

def pbTrainerMugshotFile(type)
  return nil if !type
  bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Characters/mugshot%s",getConstantName(PBTrainers,type)) rescue nil
  if !pbResolveBitmap(bitmapFileName)
    bitmapFileName=sprintf("Graphics/Characters/mugshot%03d",type)
  end
  return bitmapFileName
end

Note that that function looks for the trainer mugshot's filename.

Next, modify a few lines in EliteBattle_Scene. Under

Code:

if @battle.opponent

Replace all instances of pbTrainerSpriteFile with pbTrainerMugshotFile.

Finally, in EliteBattle_Sprites, under the class DynamicTrainerSprite, replace the setTrainerBitmap function with this:

Code:

def setTrainerBitmap(file)
    @bitmap=AnimatedBitmapWrapper.new(file,TRAINERSPRITESCALE)
    @[email protected]
    @[email protected]
    @sprite.ox=(@bitmap.width/2) + 150
    if @doublebattle
      if @index==-2
        @sprite.ox-=150
      elsif @index==-1
        @sprite.ox+=150
      end
    end
    @[email protected]/4
    
    self.formatShadow
    @shadow.skew(74)
  end

After those few modifications, here are the results:

Spoiler:

Single Battle:

Double Battle with two separate Trainers:

Does it looks like this :
The modifications looks really short '^'

I didn't make it exactly like the games (even though that's what I'm aiming). The only thing done with that for now is just use mugshots instead of sprites. I don't know how to add the background for it.

Oh ^^
I didn't read the content of Elite Battle System but you just have to create a new sprite that contain the background before the calls of setTrainerBitmap and animate the thing. (And also don't forget to destroy the sprite when the animation is done :d)

I didn't understand what to do in EliteBattle_Scene

In EliteBattle_Scene, replace all instances of pbTrainerSpriteFile with pbTrainerMugshotFile. It means changing the functions so that the mugshots can be called instead of the sprites.

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with a lot of things lately.

I can not find the link to download the script resources..

Can you please tell me what to name the sprite of closeup, full body and background.

This isn't the place to ask for this, but what the heck, this is a quick question.

Just make sure that checkbox is cleared, like it is in the picture.

Thx for the quick answer

Does this work with double battles? As in with a partner trainer? There's an error when using it when trying to double battle with a partner trainer.

Sorry for necroposting, I want to use this for the new EBS. I want to use the animated backgrounds. Will this be compatible. I don't want trainer sprites.

Sorry, probably not the place to ask, but new ebs? I thought ebs was discontinued? Was it updated recently or something? I haven't heard much about it, aside from it being distributed via the EPI instead of UPI now.
