    Supported versions: 17.2 and 18.0/18.1/18.dev

    Code is a tad messy but I tried to add comments where possible to explain what's going on. Still a bit of a rookie scripter ^^'
    At the moment there's bound to be some mistakes or functionality that could be added.
    If someone has feedback for me or can improve on it, hit me up! 😊
    Also please report any bugs you find!

    Known Exploits:
    This is a trading system so obviously people can exploit it to copy pokemon and items.
    If people want to ruin their playthrough, just let them? Couldn't really think of a way of stopping this.

    Please credit!
    If you find use for this, please credit me for it in your game as TastyRedTomato.
    The script is a very heavy rewrite of Hansiec's PVP script so credit them too.
    Also check out their script, it's awesome and here on Pokécommunity as well.

    Compatibility note!
    If you change the way pokemon work internally beyond vanilla (eg add/remove stats or something), you 'll have to add/remove accessors and values to the package.
    The script was written with vanilla essentials in mind and has some compatibility for Birthsigns and Shinyleaf by Lucidious89.
    If you use one of those functions, set the flag in compatibility to true.

    Cross-game trading is turned off by default, it can be turned on if you want to though.
    When cross-game trading, it uses TRADE CODES. Make sure your PBS matches however!

    In the future I definitely want to make it implement more compatibility/security checks to make the game more universal in usage.

    What this script does:
    * This script allows players to import and export .poke files which the script creates.
    * The poke files contain a large amount of data from a pokemon of the player's choice.
    * The files are created and loaded from a "Transfer" folder.
    * Players can share files from this folder with each other.
    * Exporting the pokemon, removes the selected pokemon and creates a new file.
    * Importing the pokemon, removes the file and adds the selected pokemon to the party.
    * Optional trade evolutions (golem, steelix, etc)
    * Trade with any games you make compatible with one another

    Why I made it:
    There's really not much out there for trading and I didn't feel like setting up an online mysql database.
    This is, for me personally, an easier to implement alternative to something like that.

    How to install/use:
    *Create a new empty folder in your root game folder (the one where game.rxproj sits) and name it "Transfer"
    *Copy the script, paste it above Main and call it PokeFile
    *Call the scriptline "POKEFILE.open" either in an event or another script (for example pokégear)

    The code:
    Code: 
    ################################################################################
#  PokéFile by TastyRedTomato
#---------------------------------------
# based very loosely on the PVP script by Hansiec
# minor additions by Xeevee10
# please credit when used
# 
# To use:
#   * Create a folder in your game's folder called "Transfer"
#   * Paste this script above Main
#   * Call "POKEFILE.open" in a script (add to pokegear or NPC)
#
# There are two options when calling the script. 
#  - Create Pokemon Data exports the data of a chosen pokemon to a .poke file and
#    removes the Pokémon from your party.
#  - Load Pokemon Data imports the data from the .poke file and adds it to your
#    party when possible and deletes the specific .poke file.
#

# Compatibility options
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
BIRTHSIGNS_SCRIPT = false #set to true when using birthsigns by Lucidious89
SHINYLEAF = false #set to true when using the shinyleaf either independently or in birthsigns
#
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Other options
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
GAMECODE_USE = false #set to true when using a game code
GAMECODE = "gamecode" #change this when using the game code to trade between different fangames
TRADEEVOLUTION = true #set to true if you want trade evolutions
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# How to add new values (new stats, attributes, however you changed the way mons work
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# 1) In class PokemonPackage, add "attr_accessor :nameofyourvalue"
# 2) In module POKEFILECore, go to the comment "#Generate new package".
#    There you add tp.nameofyourvalue = the getter of your value
# 3  Go to def self.loadPokemon(file), at the point where it returns an array with all the data,
#    add your tp.nameofyourvalue after the last one. Note the index in the array.
# 4) Scroll towards the bottom of the script at the comment "#generate pokemon from file",
#    Where the pokemon is generated, add the setter for your new value and use the 
#    pokemon[index]. Take a look at how the existing data is handled if you need examples.
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# How to make the system cross-fangame 
#(note: only use between fangames that use the same version of this script)
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# Set GAMECODE_USE to true.
# Fill out a game code of your choice (preferably one that's hard to guess)
# Do the same for your other game.
# If there are mismatches in the PBS files of both games it will give errors.

    Cool, can you make it combatible with birthsigns?
    Click to expand...

    I'll have to look at the birthsigns script to see how they store the data but sure, it shouldn't be too hard to make birthsigns compatibility.

    EDIT: made the changes, it's now compatible. Just set the necessary flags near the start of the script to true when you use Birthsigns or shinyleaf.

    I really appreciate this script! I added a simple modification for my own personal use, but others can use it here:

    I replaced line 242
    Code: 
        save_data(tp, "Transfer/#{$Trainer.name}'s Pokemon.poke")
    with
    Code: 
        save_data(tp, "Transfer/#{$Trainer.name}'s Lv.#{tp.level} #{pokechoice.name} (#{pokechoice.iv[0]}#{pokechoice.iv[1]}#{pokechoice.iv[2]}).poke")

    It allows for an infinite number of Pokemon to be transferred/stored at a single time, and displays the name and level of the Pokemon. In addition, it generates a code based of the first 3 IVs of the Pokemon to ensure that the Pokemon isn't overwritten. The IVs at the end of the script could be replaced with one segment that contains the Pokemon's personal id, but I did it my way because it looks better in-game.

    This is a great idea, I edited the script as such, and changed the dialogue as well to make sense with it. (+credit)
    Added an option as well named TRADEEVOLUTION which allows you to toggle trade evolutions when using the transfer system and a message when the Pokémon evolved.
     
    I do not know why, but when I use the script. NICKNAMES do not carry over... I do not know why that is
    And in the filename is the nickname ex."AAAA's Lv.22 norA (271122).poke" but when I then transfer it back, it has no nickname

    EDIT: As I tested to evolve Steelix and then go into the Pokémon Screen the game glitched, it may has something to do with me usign EBS or because it took the Metal Coat from Steelix

    You'd probably want to change this:
    Code: 
       if pkmn.name != pkmn.speciesName 
     pkmn.name = pokemon[16] #sets the pokemon's nickname if it has one
   end

    into this
    Code: 
    pkmn.name = pokemon[16] # Set nickname regardless of whether it's equal to the species name


    Although honestly, I don't know why you'd not just Marshal.dump the entire pokemon to a file, rather than make a new class to do so. That way you don't have to make any new classes, you don't have to write down all the properties three times (defining, writing and reading), and it works with all third party scripts.

    I found that using your version of the name code somehow set the nickname to the species name and didn't change it when evolving. For example, when graveler would evolve to golem, it would keep the name graveler, probably because its nickname was "graveler". It might just be some oversight on my part though? You probably know more about coding in essentials than me :p

    As for using Marshal.dump, I'm pretty new to ruby and coding in general so this version worked best for me personally, limited to what I know about coding (which is not much). I just wanted to share it with folks out there so they could build off it or simply add this feature to their fangames. Will try to look into the marshal dump thing though cuz it seems interesting.
    It would be great if someone really well versed at coding would publish a trading/transfer script. 😊

    It's good that you make things like this nonetheless, because practising is the only way to improve.

    As for the code, you'd probably do this, if I'm understanding the issue correctly:
    Code: 
    if pokemon[16] != PBSpecies.name(pkmn.species) && pokemon[16].is_a?(String) && pokemon[16].size > 0
  pkmn.name = pokemon[16]
end

    I don't know without checking if the nickname is nil or just empty if it's not set, so I added a check for it to be a string and to make sure it's not an empty string.

    I do not know why, but when I use the script. NICKNAMES do not carry over... I do not know why that is
    And in the filename is the nickname ex."AAAA's Lv.22 norA (271122).poke" but when I then transfer it back, it has no nickname

    EDIT: As I tested to evolve Steelix and then go into the Pokémon Screen the game glitched, it may has something to do with me usign EBS or because it took the Metal Coat from Steelix

    The nickname issue should be solved now. It was an error where the script would check for a nickname but always return false no matter what.

    As for steelix, I believe the problem lies with the fact that it tries to take its item (see pscreen_trading script) without the pokemon being in the party yet at that point.
    I'm looking into it but until then I'll consider trade_evolutions bugged.

    Thank you for the reply ^^
    I hadn't thought of adding the string check too so added that as well now.
     
    Well, I added a in game trade for a Slowpoke that evolves into slowking, it cannot be that hard, could you maybe add that when the user wants that ITEMS will not be transfered but put back in the bag. That would lead to that the ITEM TRADE EVOLUTION GLITCH cannot be encountered

    Fixed the trade evolutions, they also have the evolution animation now. Let me know if you encounter any more glitches!
    (note: everstones will also stop evolutions in this system)

    To prevent dupes, assign a personal id to each Pokemon. Here's the code I would use:
    Code: 
    class PokeFile_Vars
  attr_accessor :idDone #The variable that stores the id's given.
  def initialize
    @idDone=[]
  end
end
    And in your code
    Code: 
    var = rand(9999999)
for i in PokeFile_Vars.idDone
  unless i==var
    pokemon[48] = var
    PokeFile_Vars.idDone.push(var)
  end
end

    This would still be problematic if you got a mon from another person that happens to have rolled a same id, essentially blocking an otherwise legit trade.

    hey man it's cool script but i still don't get it like if i have 2 fan games if i finished one and started the other,will this script allow me to transfer my pokemon from the first game to my other one and if so how
    Click to expand...

    The script as it is only allows you to transfer between the same fangames. ("pokemon blue" to "pokemon blue")

    If you want to transfer between different fan games you need to either remove or edit this line where it checks for the fangame:
    Code: 
    return false if tp.game_code != title #checks if the game is the same, remove if you want to risk cross-platform

    1) Removing it will allow any poke-file to be imported, including from other games. This can be a problem if it has non-matching PBS files (importantly: everything to do with pokemon,forms, items...), most likely resulting in errors (the error will depend on the differences).
    (pokemon blue to red and back should work fine, trading with other fangames will bork it with errors if their PBS is different)

    2) Alternatively you can add an AND parameter where it checks for your other game titles to see whether it matches any of the other titles you want to include in your trades/transfers.
    Something like:
    Code: 
    return false if tp.game_code != title && tp.game_code != (whatever title value your other game has)
    (in this case, pokemon blue and red can trade, they will refuse any mons from other games)

    3) Another alternative would be to forego this method entirely and use the following method:
    Change the line:
    Code: 
    tp.game_code = title
    to
    Code: 
    tp.game_code = imaginarytradecodeofyourgames
    and change the line:
    Code: 
    return false if tp.game_code != title
    to
    Code: 
    return false if tp.game_code != imaginarytradecodeofyourgames
    Use a string for this tradecode, it can be any word or whatever of your choice. This will allow all games with the same trade codes to trade with one another.
    (in this case, pokemon blue and red can trade, they will refuse any mons from other games)

    EDIT: I'll update the script to easily make use of these tradecodes, no editing of the script required now.

    Hey, I would like to do it so that for two of my older Fangames it will be a oneway trip. Can you edit the script so that I can make it that way please? Like a
    onlyexpert = true or false

    You can use the GAMECODE for it. Use the existing version of the script for your old games, and activate gamecode, then for the new one:
    Where it says GAMECODE = "gamecode" near the top of the script, add:
    Code: 
    GAMECODE2 = "gamecode2"
GAMECODE3 = "gamecode3"

    On the line that says: return false if tp.game_code != GAMECODE
    change the line to the following snippet:
    Code: 
    unless [GAMECODE,GAMECODE2,GAMECODE3].include? tp.game_code #checks whether the array of game codes includes the code from other games (GAMECODE2 and GAMECODE3)
return false
end


    gamecode2 and gamecode3 will be the gamecodes you used for the older games.
    You can keep adding game codes like that as long as you define them near the top and add them to the array.
     
    Spoiler:

    This script is amazing, can't wait to use it!
    I have a solution to prevent your script from giving an error or deleting Pokemon if the player does not have a folder named "Transfer" in their game folder.
    Check if the folder exists and if it folder does not exist, then have PokeFile create it.

    add whats in red to the following Module:
    Code: 
    module POKEFILE
  def self.open
    [COLOR="Red"]Dir.mkdir("Transfer\\") unless File.exists?("Transfer\\")[/COLOR]
    loop do
      commands = []
      commands[cmdDump=commands.length] = "Create Pokémon Data"
      commands[cmdBattle=commands.length] = "Load Pokémon Data"
      commands[cmdExit=commands.length] = "Exit"
      choice = Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Welcome to the Transfer station, how may I help you?"),
      commands, 0, nil, 0)
      if choice == cmdDump
        if $Trainer.ablePokemonParty.length > 1 #stops players from export if they have only 1 able pokemon
          Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Warning, exporting your Pokémon will overwrite any existing savegames.")) 
          Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Warning, this may overwrite existing Pokémon Data for this trainer. Press action to continue.")) 
          if POKEFILECore.createPokeFile
            Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Pokémon Data was created in the Transfer folder."))
            Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Your game has been saved."))
          else
              Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Could not make pokémon data or no pokémon was selected."))
          end
        else
        Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("You don't have enough able Pokémon in your party right now. A minimum of 2 Pokémon is required.")) 
        end
      elsif choice == cmdBattle
        files = ["Cancel"]
        Dir.chdir("Transfer"){
          Dir.glob("*.poke"){|f|
            files.push(f)
          }
        }
        choice = Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("select a pokémon file"), files, -1, nil, 0)
        if choice >= 1
          Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Warning, importing a Pokémon will overwrite any existing savegames.")) 
          Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Warning, this will delete the Pokémon Data for this trainer. Press action to continue.")) 
          file = "Transfer/" + files[choice]
          pokemon = POKEFILECore.loadPokemon(file)
          if pokemon
            if POKEFILECore.addpoke(pokemon)
               File.delete("Transfer/" + files[choice]) if File.exist?("Transfer/" + files[choice])
            end
          else
            Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("Cannot load pokémon file..."))
          end
        end
      elsif choice == cmdExit
        break
      end
    end
  end
