    It involves modifying the PokemonSystem class (in the script section PokemonMap) as follows. Assuming there is no save file, the game will start with the settings defined here.

    Code: 
    class PokemonSystem
 attr_accessor :textspeed
 attr_accessor :battlestyle
 attr_accessor :frame
 attr_accessor :font
 attr_accessor :screensize
 attr_accessor :battlescene
 attr_accessor :tilemap
 attr_accessor :textskin
 def textskin
  return (!@textskin) ? 0 : @textskin
 end
 def initialize
  @frame=0
  @battlestyle=0
  @battlescene=0
  @textspeed=2
  [b]@screensize=0[/b]
  @font=0
  [b]@tilemap=2[/b]
  @textskin=0
 end
end

    Recently I made it possible to add move animations to the battle system, as well as
    support for doing so within RPG Maker XP. I want users to send me finished move animations
    so that I can add them to Pokemon Essentials. Here are some things to consider when
    making battle animations.

    • Battle animations for moves must be named Move:XXX, where XXX is the internal
      name of the move as defined in PBS/moves.txt. For instance, the animation for
      Fire Punch will be named Move:FIREPUNCH .
    • When creating animations that involve an attacker and an opponent, the
      point at (-160,80) is considered to be the attacker, and the point at (160,-80)
      is considered to be the opponent. The animation must have a "position" of "Screen."

    I have also made myself aware that there is much that is now possible with Pokemon Essentials.
    Therefore I want to ask users for any tips and tricks when using Pokemon Essentials,
    especially in regard to special event-based systems or other special effects, and I may
    add them to the documentation.

    • That's cool!

    I was wondering, in the next version, can you try and get some more door animations? I mean like one for Pokemart/Center, and some other doors?

    That'd be awesome, Thanks!

    @ Legend of awesome: door animations are really easy...
    try doing some yourself.
    just replace the door given. and put in your door.
    then color the opening part of door appropriately...

    I don't get what you mean..XD

    How do I replace the title screen in the beginning, but make it so the "Press Enter" thing stays?

    make your own animations.

    for the title screen all you have to do is open up the title on paint.
    then edit it how you want.
    if "press enter" is on that screen, just leave it there.
    otherwise edit how you want.

    • Thank you. :D

    Anyways, Poccil, I'm looking for the thing, but can you tell me all the items you have in it? For the first Pokemart I am taking/adding some things and I don't wanna add something that isn't there..XD

    • Hmmm is there anyway to disable a feature in the battle system temporarily? Like, if your in a tournament, then the item choice is not useable until your outta the tourney?

    Thanks

    That happened when you decided to start a new game during a battle challenge. The game system inadvertently runs the game's map interpreter, continuing the event. To prevent this, add the line in bold near line 149 of the script section PokemonLoad:

    Code: 
      if cmdNewGame>=0 && command==cmdNewGame
     @scene.pbEndScene
    $scene = Scene_Map.new
    Graphics.frame_count = 0
    [b]$game_system=Game_System.new[/b]
    $game_switches      = Game_Switches.new
    $game_variables     = Game_Variables.new
    $game_self_switches = Game_SelfSwitches.new

    -------------------------------------


    A new version is available.

    New: Online trade system

    For this version, I implemented a rudimentary online trade system
    using Netplay 2.0. For this functionality to work, the Netplay
    server must be modified by replacing functions.rb in the LIB folder
    with the one contained in the distribution. Because the server
    is in Ruby, though, I am not able to install it myself.
    Please notify me when you have set up the server so I can do
    more tests on it. The modified Netplay server includes some
    additional commands added to support player-to-player communication.
    By default the trade system will be available as soon as the player
    has obtained at least one Badge, and any Netplay servers must be
    added to the servers.txt file.

    Other changes:

    Support for recording and playing back battles
    More bug fixes in battle system
    Added shift/summary menu to in-battle Pokemon list
    Fixed bug where day/night land encounters failed to work
    properly (for real this time, I hope)
    Fixed bug where starting a new game can fail
    during the running of an event

    Modified scripts:

    Added: PokeBattle_BattleRecord
    Added: PokemonNetwork
    Changed: PokemonMap
    Changed: PokeBattle_DamageState
    Changed: PokeBattle_MoveEffects
    Changed: Sprite_Character
    Changed: PokeBattle_Confusion
    Changed: PokeBattle_ActualScene
    Changed: PokemonTrainers
    Changed: Sockets
    Changed: PokeBattle_Trainer
    Changed: PokemonLoad
    Changed: PokeBattle_AI
    Changed: PokemonEntry
    Changed: Compiler
    Changed: PokeBattle_BattlePalace
    Changed: PBTrainers
    Changed: PokemonMessages
    Changed: PokemonUtilities
    Changed: PokeBattle_Battle
    Changed: PokeBattle_Battler
    Changed: Win32API*
    Changed: PokeBattle_Scene
    Changed: Scene_Movie
    Changed: PokemonOrgBattle

    • Awesome! I'll download when I have time!

    One question, to use the newer version, how would I save all the stuff I did on the previous version and put it onto the newer version without messing with anything?

    Thanks
