Move Animations from Pokemon Reborn/Rejuvenation

LightningKillua said:

Reborn's assets are public with proper credit - I even asked Amethyst myself. This includes move animations.

idk about Rejuvenation, but they use the same attack/move animations as Reborn

Unfortunately, the animation file size exceeds the 20 MB limit even as a .zip, & this site doesn't allow .rar.

What you can do is download Pokemon Reborn, open it in RPGmakerXP, start the game in debug, then go into the menu to export all animations into one folder.

There is, but you can look at this link to cache the animations & remove lag:https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=429390

I know it says it's for Elite Battle System, but it works for regular Essentials too (for v17.2 at least, untested on v18)

PField_Metadata is between PField_Weather and PField_Battles.

Once within the PField_Metadata script, use Ctrl+F and enter "class PokemonTemp". "forceSingleBattle" is the last attr_accessor. The bold is the addition suggested in the Cache thread.

Spoiler:

class PokemonTemp
attr_accessor :menuLastChoice
attr_accessor :keyItemCalling
attr_accessor :hiddenMoveEventCalling
attr_accessor :begunNewGame
attr_accessor :miniupdate
attr_accessor :waitingTrainer
attr_accessor :darknessSprite
attr_accessor :lastbattle
attr_accessor :flydata
attr_accessor :surfJump

Hello,

I would like to ask if anyone has successfully imported the move animations from Pokemon Reborn or Rejuvenation* while minimizing lag? I am using Essentials v17.2 by the way, if that matters.

Attempt #1 (successful but incredibe lag): I copied the sound effects, animation graphics, move2anim.dat, moves.dat, PkmnAnimations.rxdata, and Animations.rxdata from Pokemon Reborn into my game. The lag is quite noticeable. Also, it undoes the animations.rxdata file additions from mej71's Follower add-on, but I'm sure I could re-add those via critical thinking and using the Essentials Docs wiki.

Attempt #2 (unsuccesful): I used "Export All Battle Animations" from Pokemon Reborn, then imported the newly created Animations folder into my game using the "Import all Battle Animations" feature. At first, I got an error:

Exception: Name Error
Message: undefined local variable or method 'index' for ... located in Debug_Actions:797 in 'pbImportAllAnimations'...


Attempt #2.1 (partial success: moves imported without lag, but the moves are not associated correctly): I made a very minor alteration to the def pbImportAllAnimations code, noted in bold. All I did was move 'animations.resize(index)' to within where index is defined and commented out where it previously was.

Spoiler:

def pbImportAllAnimations
animationFolders = []
if safeIsDirectory?("Animations")
Dir.foreach("Animations"){|fb|
f = "Animations/"+fb
if safeIsDirectory?(f) && fb!="." && fb!=".."
animationFolders.push(f)
end
}
end
if animationFolders.length==0
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("There are no animations to import. Put each animation in a folder within the Animations folder."))
else
msgwindow = Kernel.pbCreateMessageWindow
animations = tryLoadData("Data/PkmnAnimations.rxdata")
animations = PBAnimations.new if !animations
for folder in animationFolders
Kernel.pbMessageDisplay(msgwindow,folder,false)
Graphics.update
audios = []
files = Dir.glob(folder+"/*.*")
%w( wav ogg mid wma mp3 ).each{|ext|
upext = ext.upcase
audios.concat(files.find_all{|f| f[f.length-3,3]==ext})
audios.concat(files.find_all{|f| f[f.length-3,3]==upext})
}
for audio in audios
pbSafeCopyFile(audio,RTP.getAudioPath("Audio/SE/Anim/"+File.basename(audio)),"Audio/SE/Anim/"+File.basename(audio))
end
images = []
%w( png jpg bmp gif ).each{|ext|
upext = ext.upcase
images.concat(files.find_all{|f| f[f.length-3,3]==ext})
images.concat(files.find_all{|f| f[f.length-3,3]==upext})
}
for image in images
pbSafeCopyFile(image,RTP.getImagePath("Graphics/Animations/"+File.basename(image)),"Graphics/Animations/"+File.basename(image))
end
Dir.glob(folder+"/*.anm"){|f|
textdata = loadBase64Anim(IO.read(f)) rescue nil
if textdata && textdata.is_a?(PBAnimation)
index = pbAllocateAnimation(animations,textdata.name)
missingFiles = []
textdata.name = File.basename(folder) if textdata.name==""
textdata.id = -1 # this is not an RPG Maker XP animation
pbConvertAnimToNewFormat(textdata)
if textdata.graphic && textdata.graphic!=""
if !safeExists?(folder+"/"+textdata.graphic) &&
!FileTest.image_exist?("Graphics/Animations/"+textdata.graphic)
textdata.graphic = ""
missingFiles.push(textdata.graphic)
end
end
for timing in textdata.timing
if timing.name && timing.name!=""
if !safeExists?(folder+"/"+timing.name) &&
!FileTest.audio_exist?("Audio/SE/Anim/"+timing.name)
timing.name = ""
missingFiles.push(timing.name)
end
end
end
animations[index] = textdata
animations.resize(index)
end
}
end
#animations.resize(index)
save_data(animations,"Data/PkmnAnimations.rxdata")
Kernel.pbDisposeMessageWindow(msgwindow)
Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("All animations were imported."))
end
end

With this, I was able to mass import move animations using "Import All Move Animations" but no animation shows up for various effects that have animations in Reborn/Rejuvenation such as mega evolving, surf, dig, waterfall, etc... At first, I thought it was unsuccessful but I noticed that some moves have animations from other moves - bite looks like feint attack, etc... This leads me to believe that the moves are in but aren't properly associated.

I would like to request help in my endeavor in implementing these move animations. If no one else has done it, then I'll resort to importing move animations one by one. While tedious, I've heard success stories + it wouldn't overwrite the animations.rxdata file changes from Mej71's Follower Pokemon add-on either.

*(Reborn and Rejuvenation have the same move animations and can be used by the public as long as sufficient credit is given, which I have in my credits list)

It was an issue with the indexing. Check out MGriffin's solution here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?p=10112563#post10112563
