Script: DiegoWT's Starter Selection (v21.1)

[DiegoWT]

Hey there, how are you all?
Give a brand new look for your starter selection with this plugin!

(Remember that the gifs do not reflect quite well the in-game quality)

Features:​

• Choose between HGSS or BW/B2W2 graphics style;
• Two options of background for the scene: Oak's lab and Hoenn's tall grass (including a version of the bg without the tall grass);
• Customization options for your starter's level, form, shininess, IVs, cry (if you want it to be played or not), background (to show only the 1st starter's type or both the 1st and 2st type's color), position and it's background circle's size;
• If you need to check which starter was selected, the script already updates the Variable 7 (Starter Choice) according to the selected starter, being 1 the first starter, 2 the second and 3 the third.

Installation:

Spoiler:

1. Download and extract this ZIP file into your game's root folder;
2. Edit the settings of the script (Your game's name/Plugins/DiegoWT's Starter Selection/Settings) to your liking and call the script

DiegoWTsStarterSelection.new(x,y,z)

where x, y and z are the species ID of your starters (example below);

Spoiler:

(Example where I'm not using extendtext.exe)

(Example where I'm using extendtext.exe)​

3. Run the game on Debug Mode (while holding Ctrl) to compile the script into your game;
4. Have fun.

If you have any suggestions or get any error using the script, please contact me here or on Discord, diegowt.
That's all, don't forget to credit me, DiegoWT.

Well, I made this one compatible with v18,
Here you go-

#===============================================================================
# DiegoWT's Starter Selection script
#===============================================================================

# To start the scene, call the script "DiegoWTsStarterSelection.new(x,y,z)", 
# where x, y and z are the dex number of your starters.
# Level of your starters:
  STARTERL = 5
 
# Interface style (1 for HGSS, 2 for BW):
  INSTYLE = 2

# Form of each Starter species:
  STARTER1F = 0 # First Starter
  STARTER2F = 0 # Second Starter
  STARTER3F = 0 # Third Starter
  
# Horizontal and vertical values for editing the starter position:
  STARTER1X = 0; STARTER1Y = 0 # First Starter
  STARTER2X = 0; STARTER2Y = 0 # Second Starter
  STARTER3X = 0; STARTER3Y = 0 # Third Starter
# Here, for the horizontal lines, negative numbers are left and the positive 
# ones are right. For the vertical lines, negative numbers are up and the
# positive ones are down.
  
# Starter's circle size configuration. Configure how big you want the Starter
# white circle to be:
  STARTERCZ = 0 # 0 is normal size; 1 is double the size

[Gasset]

You can make compatible with 16.3?plis

 

[NoNoNever]

Lol, just upgrade to v19 16.2 is outdated

 

[DiegoWT]

New update! Version 1.2:
- Fixed a bug where the starter's form would show up only on the starter's screen, but the player would not receive the correct starter form;
- The script call was revised to properly work with the species ID, not the national dex number;
- Now when a starter is selected, it will properly play its cry (configurable if you don't want it);
- A new configuration for allowing the plugin to show the starter's second type when selected is now present in the settings.

 

[DiegoWT]

New update! Version 1.25:
- Fixed the script's window text only showing the 2nd starter's type when the two gradients option is enabled. Now, it will show both types of the starters and, if it doesn't have two, it will show only one;
- Now there's a better explanation for the two gradients option in the script settings.

 

[FL]

Well done! So far, my favorite starter selection script.

 

[theRiolvile]

Would it be possible to make it work with Pokemon SDK ?

 

[DiegoWT]

Would it be possible to make it work with Pokemon SDK ?

Dunno, the script was made to work with Pokémon Essentials. Good luck on trying to make it work with the PSDK.

 

[DiegoWT]

Update v1.3.0:
- Fully updated the script to work with Essentials v20.1, and abandoned support to older versions.

 

[Mahian23]

It didn't work with psdk TwT.

 

[theRiolvile]

Actually I prefer what I'm using as Essentials is so much easier to work with although would liked if shaders could be added and if more updates are coming well let's see.

 

[DiegoWT]

Update v1.5.0:
- Major overhaul of the scene graphics:
-- Altered the Poké Balls sprites, and made their highlights a different image for the animation to be more realistic;
-- Remade the background and added a new one based on Hoenn's starter selection.
- New Settings' options: Set your preferred background, your starters' shininess, IVs and items;
- Remade the Poké Balls' swing animation for it to be more faithful to Gen 5's Poké Balls' animations;
- Fully updated the script to work with Essentials v21.1, and abandoned support to older versions.

 

[MargieA]

Will it work if you have more than 3 starters available?

 

[DiegoWT]

Will it work if you have more than 3 starters available?

Nope, this script only supports 3 starters.

 

[MargieA]

Nope, this script only supports 3 starters.

Yeah, after I asked that here, I looked in at the actual script, and saw how it worked and figured that out. I'm wondering if there's a way to modify it to work for more though. I'm afraid to try because my coding expertise is close to nil... I'm good with some of the basics like I get color hex and bolding/italicizing text etc... but anything really important, I'm an idiot.

Tbh ppl can learn scripting through small edits xD But yeah for a beginner that type of edit might be a bit hard.

Hi,

I recently downloaded this to play around with and I was curious if it logs which starter was chosen to a variable anywhere? IE starterChoice == 1 if slot 1 is chosen. I tried skimming through to code, but the sections I see that starts the selection or confirmation don't seem to have it anywhere (or I am just blind and missing it).

Hello, I don't know if you still need a solution but I was having the same problem so I started playing around with the script, in the part where the script defines the variables you can add this: $game_variables[7] = @Select. I put 7 because that is the starter choice variable in my game. What happens here is that the select variable is used to decide which ball is highlighted so if you make starter choice the ball that is highlighted the one you choose will be the last ball highlighted so it works. So if you have a starter selection for Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle, starterChoice==1 will be Bulbasaur, starterChoice==2 will be Charmander and starterChoice==3 will be Squirtle. I hope this helps!
