[v18] Boon's SwSh-Style Mark Ribbons

Boonzeet · Jul 3, 2020

Boon's Mark Ribbons

A script to emulate the marks feature of Pokémon Sword and Shield, and provide a custom tagline when you send your Pokémon out.

How to Use

Not much required to use once set up. There's a 1/1000 to 1/25 chance of various marks being attached to a caught Pokémon. A user can go into the ribbons page and press C on any ribbon, including a mark, to attach it. If a mark is attached to a Pokémon, the name of the Pokémon will be extended via a tagline in single battles.

Install
Essentials Version 18.1

Just download this zip file, extract and copy the ribbons.png file to Graphics/Pictures and place the code from markribbons.txt above main.

The script is now plug and play, so you're good to go!

Essentials Version 17.2 (No longer supported)
This plugin only supports v18 going forward. Please do not ask for help or fixes for this older version, or it will be eventually removed.

Spoiler:

First, download this linked zip file. Extract and copy the ribbons.png file to Graphics/Pictures, to overwrite the existing one.

Make these changes to PBRibbons. Remember to add a comma to the lines that you are adding below.

Below WORLDCHAMPION = 80 add (a comma, then):

In PBRibbons.getName, below _INTL("World Champion Ribbon") add (a comma, then):

Spoiler:

In PBRibbons.getDescription, below _INTL("Pokémon World Championships World Champion Ribbon.") add (a comma, then):

In PokeBattle_Battle, find these lines:

Code:

opposing=@battlers[index].pbOppositeOpposing
      if opposing.fainted? || opposing.hp==opposing.totalhp
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go! {1}!",party[newpokename].name))
      elsif opposing.hp>=(opposing.totalhp/2)
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Do it! {1}!",party[newpokename].name))
      elsif opposing.hp>=(opposing.totalhp/4)
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go for it, {1}!",party[newpokename].name))
      else
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Your opponent's weak!\nGet 'em, {1}!",party[newpokename].name))
      end

And replace with

Code:

opposing=@battlers[index].pbOppositeOpposing
    mark = party[newpokename].setRibbon ? PBRibbons.getMarkTag(party[newpokename].setRibbon) : nil
      marktitle = mark != nil ? " #{mark}" : ""
      if opposing.fainted? || opposing.hp==opposing.totalhp
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go! {1}{2}!",party[newpokename].name,marktitle))
      elsif opposing.hp>=(opposing.totalhp/2)
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Do it! {1}{2}!",party[newpokename].name,marktitle))
      elsif opposing.hp>=(opposing.totalhp/4)
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go for it, {1}{2}!",party[newpokename].name,marktitle))
      else
        pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Your opponent's weak!\nGet 'em, {1}{2}!",party[newpokename].name,marktitle))
      end

And find this:

Code:

@battlers[0].pbInitialize(@party1[sendout],sendout,false)
      pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go! {1}!",@battlers[0].name))

And replace with

Code:

@battlers[0].pbInitialize(@party1[sendout],sendout,false)
mark = @battlers[0].pokemon.setRibbon ? PBRibbons.getMarkTag(@battlers[0].pokemon.setRibbon) : nil
      marktitle = mark != nil ? " #{mark}" : ""
      pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go! {1}{2}!",@battlers[0].name,marktitle))

Lastly, in PScreen_Summary, find these lines:

Code:

 ribn = @pokemon.ribbons[i]-1
        imagepos.push(["Graphics/Pictures/ribbons",230+68*(coord%4),78+68*(coord/4).floor,
                                                   64*(ribn%8),64*(ribn/8).floor,64,64])

And add this below:

Code:

 if @pokemon.setRibbon && @pokemon.setRibbon == @pokemon.ribbons[i]
           imagepos.push([sprintf("Graphics/Pictures/shiny"),230+68*(coord%4),78+68*(coord/4).floor,0,0,-1,-1])

Then, add the contents of the .rb file (edit with Notepad if you need) above Main, in a script section called BoonsMarkRibbons, or whatever you want to call it.

Please credit Boonzeet if used.

Nice script, but I'm also getting the NoMethodError.

When and where are you getting this error? It's probably to do with existing saves - I'll look into this today

RayCo · Jul 4, 2020

I started the new game and it continues with the same error message when starting a wild battle, it also occurs in trainer battles.

Pokeminer20 · Jul 4, 2020

I to am getting this error. for me it happens when you select a ribbon to be active

Add these lines to the top of the Boons Marks script:

Code:

class PokeBattle_Pokemon
  attr_accessor(:setRibbon)   # A Pokémon's attached ribbon
end

I've updated the download link to reflect this.

Pokeminer20 · Jul 4, 2020

even with that addition the ribbon still isn't attached to the pokemon

The Ribbon is being attached, just the icon is missing. In PScreen_Summary, find these lines:

Code:

 ribn = @pokemon.ribbons[i]-1
        imagepos.push(["Graphics/Pictures/ribbons",230+68*(coord%4),78+68*(coord/4).floor,
                                                   64*(ribn%8),64*(ribn/8).floor,64,64])

And add this below:

Code:

 if @pokemon.setRibbon && @pokemon.setRibbon == @pokemon.ribbons[i]
           imagepos.push([sprintf("Graphics/Pictures/shiny"),230+68*(coord%4),78+68*(coord/4).floor,0,0,-1,-1])

I don't get an error anymore, but now the tagline won't display when I send out the Pokémon in battle.

RayCo · Jul 5, 2020

now it's working perfectly.
Thanks

If anyone is interested in the other ribbons, I have completed some that have titles:

Spoiler:

SinnohSquid · Jul 23, 2020

I'm getting a syntax error when I implement this bit. I'm not sure if it's because I have elite battle installed?

The Ribbon is being attached, just the icon is missing. In PScreen_Summary, find these lines:

ribn = @pokemon.ribbons-1
imagepos.push(["Graphics/Pictures/ribbons",230+68*(coord%4),78+68*(coord/4).floor,
64*(ribn%8),64*(ribn/8).floor,64,64])
And add this below:

if @pokemon.setRibbon && @pokemon.setRibbon == @pokemon.ribbons
imagepos.push([sprintf("Graphics/Pictures/shiny"),230+68*(coord%4),78+68*(coord/4).floor,0,0,-1,-1])

If I leave this code out, the game works, just that every ribbon is drawn at the same position.

Juno and Ice · Jul 28, 2020

Anyone know how to get this working on EBS?

DonutDoctor10 · Aug 5, 2020

I got an error after I caught a Pokemon with a mark.

bangdream · Aug 6, 2020

supports ebs?

Floigon · Aug 7, 2020

to make it work with ebs replace

Code:

      @scene.sendingOut=true
      sendout=pbFindNextUnfainted(@party1,0)
      if sendout < 0
        raise _INTL("Player has no unfainted Pokémon")
      end
      playerpoke=@party1[sendout]
      @battlers[0].pbInitialize(playerpoke,sendout,false)
      pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go! {1}!",getBattlerPokemon(@battlers[0]).name))
      pbSendOutInitial(@doublebattle,0,playerpoke)
    end

with

Code:

      @scene.sendingOut=true
      sendout=pbFindNextUnfainted(@party1,0)
      if sendout < 0
        raise _INTL("Player has no unfainted Pokémon")
      end
      playerpoke=@party1[sendout]
      @battlers[0].pbInitialize(playerpoke,sendout,false)
      mark = @battlers[0].pokemon.setRibbon ? PBRibbons.getMarkTag(@battlers[0].pokemon.setRibbon) : nil
      marktitle = mark != nil ? " #{mark}" : ""
      pbDisplayBrief(_INTL("Go! {1}{2}!",getBattlerPokemon(@battlers[0]).name,marktitle))
      pbSendOutInitial(@doublebattle,0,playerpoke)
    end

also nice plugin

PorousMist32622 · Aug 23, 2020

@Floigon Where do I insert that to replace? Apparently for me, those lines do not exist.

Floigon · Aug 26, 2020

It should be under this line

Code:

# Initialize player in single battles

Boonzeet · Sep 7, 2020

Updated to v1.2, providing Essentials v18 support and removing the need to edit lines of code.

Please note: This ends support for the Essentials v17.2 version. Please do not ask for help or fixes for this old version.
