Script: Essentials Deluxe [v20.1] [DEPRECATED]

[Lucidious89]

Essentials Deluxe for v20.1

NOTICE:
This plugin is now deprecated, and no longer supported. Use the Deluxe Battle Kit for Essentials v21.1 if possible, which is the successor to this plugin. I will leave the download link and installation instructions for this version below for the time being. I may remove these at a later date, however.​

-DOWNLOAD LINK-


Installation

Spoiler:

• Download and install the latest version of the v20.1 Hotfixes plugin, if you don't already have it.
• Download this plugin using the link provided, and extract its contents to your root Essentials folder.
• If you are using the Generation 8 Pack, go to the 000_Config file in that plugin, and set SMOOTH_FRAMERATE to "false". Some of the new animations used by this plugin may be visually bugged when this setting is true. If you don't plan on using these animations, then this isn't necessary.
• Use the Settings file located in this plugin's folder to adjust things to your liking.

Ah, I see. The latest version of the Gen 8 Pack randomly renamed a few things. The one I was working with was out of date. Ill update that right now.

Thank you!

 

[Lucidious89]

Thank you!

All done. It'll work now.

Do you recommend making a backup before installing this?

 

[CelestialFearow]

All done. It'll work now.

I just tested all the pre-built battles, and the only bug I found is this:
(I added the bug in a screenshot)

Spoiler:

If I ever find more bug I will let you know!
Also this plugin is awesome and I think this is exactly what pokémon essential was missing

That's generally good practice with everything, but there's no real need. If the plugin isn't for you, you can simply delete it and refresh your plugins. You will have to start a new game again though after doing so, however. The Pokedex additions are the only permanent changes this plugin adds to your save data, so it requires you to start a new game whenever you add or remove the plugin.

I sent the wrong bug...
This one is the right one

Yeah, I see. Weather/terrain was bugged because I forgot to add a battler argument. It's fixed now. I've also updated the meta.txt file so that it checks for the latest version of the Gen 8 Pack, to avoid that outdated error from before.

A new plugin, Enhanced UI was just released. This new plugin relies on Essentials Deluxe to function, so check that out if you want to utilize the compatibility functions of Essentials Deluxe.

The Enhanced UI plugin makes a variety of small UI additions, such as displaying IV Ratings and Egg Groups in the Summary/Storage screens, adding unique ball graphics to the Party screen, and implements the shiny leaf mechanic introduced in HGSS.

Hello!
At first. Very great plugin. It's a beautiful addition.

But I'm running in a error message when I use this plugin with "Visible Overworld Wild Encounters" and it only occurs when the script tries to spawn them on the map.

The error:

[Pokémon Essentials version 20.1]
[v20.1 Hotfixes 1.0.2]

Exception: ArgumentError
Message: wrong number of arguments (given 7, expected 2..4)

Is there something i need to change or to add in "Species Files.rb" ?

Ive never used that plugin. I assume it edits code that fetches Pokemon sprites, which would certainly break things because this plugin edits all of the code related to that. I guess ill have to look into it.

...

Edit: Nvm what I said before, I fixed it. Check the new update.

 

[Lucidious89]

Minor Update (v1.0.1)
Essentials Deluxe has received its first minor update. New code has been added to ensure that this plugin is now compatible with plugins that deal with overworld sprites, particularly Following Pokemon EX and Visible Overworld Encounters. Overworld sprites will now be recognized by this plugin and no longer cause conflicts. I've even set up compatibility for a future plugin ideas that relate to overworld sprites. The meta.txt file for this plugin has also been updated to ensure that these two plugins may no longer accidentally overwrite this compatibility.

 

[TrueVengeance]

Okay. Wow. That was fast 😄
Thanks.

 

[Lucidious89]

Minor Update (v1.0.2)
Whoops, sorry about the back-to-back updates, but I didn't expect to be able to release ZUD so early. This plugin needed some minor tweaks in preparation for its release.

Is it possible to just throw a script in an end of turn proc? I have a double battle and I want to boost the other opponent every turn if one of them is fainted. And I also want them to alternatively throw an item to one of my pokémons alternatively every turn (actually trying to transfer something I made for MBD to Essentials deluxe). Also how can I have something proc 2 turns after opponent gets mid life?

Hmm I dont think you can really do those sorts of highly specified things. This is more a one for one sort of thing. One specific thing is triggered => one set of specific things immediately happen. It isn't anywhere near as robust as MBD. SOME of what youre describing could maybe be possible, but it would require adding new triggers, because there currently isnt anything like "trigger if partner is out of Pokemon" or "trigger at the start/end of every other turn", or "trigger with a delay after X happens", although those wouldn't be hard to include in an update.

You cant just throw in a script as a proc, like with MBD. Mostly because i dont know how to code that. I started trying to do that, but it was taking too much time i could have spent on updating ZUD instead, so i settled on this double hash system until i can go back and figure it out and update it later. This wasnt really ever meant to replace MBD anyway, since I suspect GolisopodUser will eventually release an update. This was more something I threw in sort of last minute, tbh, as a nice little appetizer to hold people over while they wait for a dedicated plugin for such a thing.

Essential Deluxe's primary purpose will always be to provide compatibility for my other plugins. The battle stuff is secondary, in my eyes. But I will definitely be expanding and updating on this as time goes on.

That's what I suspected. Thanks for the quick answer
