DPPt Pause Menu

Marin · Jul 20, 2018

Generation 4 had a pretty simplistic Pause menu. It resembles Generation 3's, but it has icons. This resource will turn your boring Pause menu into something with a little more spice.

If you have Luka S.J.'s Easy Mouse System installed, this menu will also work with mouse. If not, it won't (duh).

Features:

Supports all screensizes
Modular and easy to edit
Remembers last selected index
You can hold down/up as well
Supports the Easy Mouse System (if installed, it'll work with mouse too)

Does NOT: Support Safari Zone and such games.

Installation
First, download this script and put it in a new section above Main (UNLESS YOU ALREADY HAVE IT!)
Marin's Scripting Utilities

Download this script and put it above Main:
DP_PauseMenu

Next, put this whole folder in Graphics\Pictures.
Graphics\Pictures

Adding your own options

To make/add your own options, find @options = []. Underneath, all options are initialized and added. They follow a very simple format:
[displayname, unselected, selected, code, (condition)]
displayname : This is what's actually displayed on screen.
unselected : This is the icon that will be displayed when the option is NOT selected. For it to be gender dependent, make it an array.
selected : This is the icon that will be displayed when the option IS selected. For it to be gender dependent, make it an array.
code : This is what's executed when you click the button.
condition : If you only want the option to be visible at certain times, this is where you can add a condition (e.g. $Trainer.pokedex).

I can only assume you're using an outdated version of Essentials, because the line that's missing that causes the error exists in newer versions.

I've updated the script. It now includes sound effects.

Marin · Aug 12, 2020

Updated the script to fix an issue with no dexes showing up upon opening the Pokédex.

Richard PT · Aug 13, 2020

This works great. Thx for sharing this. Credits will be given in-game final credits. But, there is one thing, when i playtest, there is no debug option, so can you add support for that option when the players playtest only?

Speccy · Aug 13, 2020

This script works very well! Though i had to add debug support myself.

I was also able to add safari game & bug catching contest support.

Marin · Aug 14, 2020

Debug can be accessed through a more convenient F9 button already, so I omitted it to keep the menu shorter and cleaner, in favor of the F9 shortcut.

Another thing, how can i add the option quit game from essentials? I want to add this for the prupose of those who use the full screen option and instead of closing the game's window.

Alrighty! Here you go, all tested! Though you may want to change the icon/name because the meaning of the option from DPPt.

Code:

    @options << ["EXIT", "exitA", "exitB", proc {
      @sprites.visible = false
      if Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("Are you sure you want to quit the game?"))
        scene = PokemonSave_Scene.new
        screen = PokemonSaveScreen.new(scene)
        if screen.pbSaveScreen
          @done = true
          $scene = nil
        else
          @sprites.visible = true
        end
      else
        @sprites.visible = true
      end
    }]

Anyone knows how to add the Pokegear option after we receive the pokegear? I only manage to add this option right in the beginning and i'm getting a hard time to figure it out lol. Vendily thx for your help, it works like a charm. ^.^

Hey can you share how you did for those options you said?

You can reach the debug menu with f9, i find it easier now that i know that.

Here's the stuff, but i never got around to testing it in my fangame yet since... it has no safari zone/bug contest yet

Spoiler:

Spoiler:

Above "@options << ["EXIT", "exitA", "exitB", proc {", put:

Code:

@options << ["QUIT", "exitA", "exitB", proc { @scene.pbHideMenu if pbInSafari? if Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("Would you like to leave the Safari Game right now?")) @scene.pbEndScene pbSafariState.decision = 1 pbSafariState.pbGoToStart return else pbShowMenu end else if Kernel.pbConfirmMessage(_INTL("Would you like to end the Contest now?")) @scene.pbEndScene pbBugContestState.pbStartJudging return else pbShowMenu end end }] if (pbInSafari? || pbInBugContest?)

And yes, a bunch of this is copypasted from the original PScreen_PauseMenu... wish i was better at non-inbattle code...

I've tested the codes, but nothing happens when i go to safari zones or bug contest. Maybe something is missing. :/

For those who are using this script in Essentials V18 and received an error when opening the Pokedex, it is a simple fix. Just replace this:

Code:

if DEXDEPENDSONLOCATION

with this:

Code:

if USE_CURRENT_REGION_DEX

DPPt Pause Menu

More options
