Deluxe Battle Kit for v21.1​

A battle expansion kit which adds a ton of new features and allows you to completely customize your battles!

Overview
This plugin is the spiritual successor to the Essentials Deluxe plugin, which previously released for v20.1. However, this iteration is far more streamlined, and designed entirely around expanding what is possible with the Pokemon battle system. This kit will grant you the ability to design entirely unique encounters for your games that were previously impossible. There's practically no limit to what you can do beyond your own imagination! In addition, this kit will act as the foundation for other battle plugins I release going forward. This includes things like SOS Battles, Raid Battles, as well as generational battle gimmicks such as Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Terastallization. Each of those mechanics will act as expansions for this kit, and will expand what it can do and how it can be used.


Plugin Features
  • Adds an assortment of brand new Battle Rules to customize your battle events with.
  • Adds the ability to set up special boss encounters with wild Pokemon that have increased HP pools as well as unique immunities to make them more challenging.
  • Adds the ability to set damage thresholds on Pokemon that prevents their HP from being lowered after they reach a certain damage range, mimicking Raid boss mechanics.
  • Allows you to set up Raid-style capture sequences vs wild Pokemon where you are prompted to throw a ball upon defeating them.
  • Adds new animation for wild Pokemon that flee from battle.
  • Adds mid-battle scripting functionality to allow for dialogue during battle, as well as allowing you to set up scripted battle scenarios.
  • Adds new animations for in-battle trainer dialogue, as well as name plates to display the speaker of each line of dialogue.
  • Adds new animations for Mega Evolution and Primal Reversion, as well as animation utilities to be used by add-on battle mechanics.
  • Implements a new battle icon for Mega Evolution, as well as a held item icon for Mega Stones.
  • Introduces a toggleable feature that shortens the names of really long move names so that they fit properly in the battle UI.
  • Allows for compatibility between many other plugins that build on this kit to add unique battle features.

-DOWNLOAD LINK-


Installation
  • First, download and install the latest version of the v21.1 Hotfixes plugin, if you don't already have it.
  • Next, download this plugin using the link provided and extract its contents to your root Essentials folder so that the Audio, Graphics and Plugins folders in the download merge with their equivalent folders in your project.
  • Start your game in debug mode. If the plugin doesn't appear the list of installed plugins within the console window, make sure you installed everything properly and then force the game to recompile by holding down the CTRL key while the game is booting up. If the console says "Game data was not compiled", then you didn't hold down the key long enough, or don't have the game window in focus.

Minor Update (v1.0.2)
  • Fixed a bug with the move Transform/Imposter that could cause errors.
  • Reworked some of the Damage Calc Refactor scripts.
  • Tweaked some animation utilities.
  • The "wildMegaEvolution" battle rule now sets a scripted battle scenario vs wild Mega Evolved Pokemon, instead of just flagging them as Mega-capable.
  • Introduced a new game stat tracker $stats.wild_mega_battles_won to track how many battles the player won vs wild Mega Evolved Pokemon.
  • Made some minor adjustments in preparation for the release of the Terastallization add-on.

The "wildMegaEvolution" rule now sets up battles that work similar to wild Tera Pokemon in Scarlet & Violet, except with the Mega Evolution mechanic instead of Terastallization.

When encountering a wild Pokemon who is capable of Mega Evolving with this set rule, the wild Pokemon will immediately Mega Evolve when encountered. If so, Poke Balls will be disabled. The Pokemon will survive with 1/6th of their max HP when taking lethal damage. Once reaching this threshold however, the Pokemon's Mega Evolution will fade, and they will revert to their original form. Once this happens, Poke Balls become usable again, and the Pokemon may be caught.

Whenever the player defeats or captures a wild Pokemon in this manner, the game will keep count of it. The total number of wild Mega Battles the player has cleared can be called with the script $stats.wild_mega_battles_won. You can set this up as a unique way of requiring the player to "earn" certain Mega Stones by first defeating a wild Mega boss of sorts.

Minor Update (v1.0.3)
  • Tweaked some compiler code to avoid errors in situations where there is missing PBS data.
  • Added a new battle rule called "setSlideSprite" which allows you to customize how the opponent's sprite slides on to screen at the start of a battle.
The opponent's slide sprite can be customized to slide in from the side (default), top, bottom, or remain still without sliding. For each of these variations, you can even hide the opponent's base and shadow sprites if you wish to give them the appearance of hovering in an abyss. More details can be found in the "Deluxe Battle Rules" section of the Deluxe Battle Kit tutorial, in the subsection "Battle Audio & Animations."

Here's some quick examples of every possible slide-in "style."

I am trying to download the file. But the archive that I downloaded from MediaFire says it's corrupted and I am not able to extract the files. Does this have a mirror link?

Something in this, I don't know how to figure out what, overrides the hp stat calculations. Any chance I could be pointed at where in this I could change them from?

Please be more specific by what you mean by this. Base stats? Overall stats? Out of battle (Summary)? In battle? If so, when and where does it occur, how are you determining this, etc.

The calculation of hp from base stats done by the calchp code in the Pokémon-Pokémon section of the Essentials scripts. It happens everywhere, constantly. I am determining this by using the same script with and without the Deluxe Battle Kit added to my game.

No matter what you change the numbers to in the return section, it does not change how much hp the pokémon has.

# @return [Integer] the maximum HP of this Pokémon
def calcHP(base, level, iv, ev)
return 1 if base == 1 # For Shedinja
iv = ev = 0 if Settings::DISABLE_IVS_AND_EVS
return (((base * 2) + iv + (ev / 4)) * level / 100).floor + level + 10
end

I don't think this is a DBK issue. Have you been calling calc_stats or generating a fresh Pokémon? It doesn't magically retroactively correct the old stats.

I've done both, neither reflects the updated code when I have DBK installed but both do when I remove it.

Are you editing def calcHPin DBK? Did you recompile plugins afterwards? DBK overwrites that method for the sake of other effects.
