Gen 8 move animation project [DISCONTINUED]

[DarrylBD99]

I imported Surging Strikes in the correct consecutive order, but when i use it in battle it just uses the first animation for all 3 hits.

Did you re-compile the game?

 

[Rebbats]

Did you re-compile the game?

yes, I did.

 

[StCooler]

Sorry for that, I'm still busy with my fangame and my life
So...what I can do now?

Same here!
How is the fangame? Approximate progress percentage?

Spoiler:

I am around 95% done with my fangame. I have to do a debug, add a few Pokémons and make ~20 sprites. I estimate ~3 months.

The todo-list is up-to-date (I think). We are missing Common Animations.

Hum, I don't have this issue on my game.
I also checked the Drive and the files for the first hit is different to the files for the second and third hit, so I don't see what's wrong ^^"

In the Debug menu > Information editors > Battle Animation Editor, then click on List of Animations and find Move:SURGINGSTRIKES. Load the animation tell me the number of frames. Also tell me the number of frames for Surging Strikes hit 2 and Surging Strikes hit 3.
It should be respectively: 63 - 30 - 30.

Great!
Don't forget to mention me if your fangame has released..
And
For my fangame still on 50% to completed...
All players on my fb grup requests so many their local language
Making me confusing with that..

And for common animation..
Yes still working on few common animation
I can't publish now...maybe later if I'm in goodmood..

Sure :)

Translation is something you do at the end of the development. Focus on making your game first, then you can translate.

Take your time, we're not in a hurry!

There are some animations that don't work well with gen 3/4 backsprites. I was wondering if there will be changes to those animations? Just wanted to make a suggestion.

No, these animations don't work with gen 3/4 backsprites because the sprites are "cropped" ^^"
Gen 3/4 sprites are deprecated, really. You should use the sprites provided with the Gen 8 Project (v19 or v18 depending on what Essentials version you use).

Can this resource be used in Pokémon Essentials v19.1 w/EBDX?

I didn't test it myself, but most probably, yes.

 

[Guayu]

Can this resource be used in Pokémon Essentials v19.1 w/EBDX?

Yes, you can. In "GameFolder\Plugins\Elite Battle DX\[003] Config\Config.rb" you need to edit the line #31

CUSTOM_MOVE_ANIM = false

and set it to "true".

Also, you can delete the animation from "GameFolder\Plugins\Elite Battle DX\[002] Animation Code\Move Animations", if you prefer the specific move animation from Gen 8 Animation Project.

I have not tested this last part myself, but it should work.

Thanks, this worked well.

This thing didn't worked, at least for me. I tried deleting the PSYCHOCUT.rb file but the game keeps using the EBDX animation for Psychocut. Anyway, the other animations from Gen 8 Animation Project worked well.

 

[StCooler]

Ok guys.
My fangame is in a state where what's missing doesn't depend on me anymore, so I'm back to the animation project.

I browsed the list of animations and ticked the Z-moves that already have an animation (I remind you that this resource is based on Pokémon Reborn's animations).

The following Z-moves have a complete animation:

Spoiler:

Breakneck Blitz
All-Out Pummeling
Never-Ending Nightmare
Inferno Overdrive
Hydro Vortex
Bloom Doom
Gigavolt Havoc
Shattered Psyche
Subzero Slammer
Black Hole Eclipse
Twinkle Tackle
Oceanic Operetta
Extreme Evoboost
Pulverizing Pancake
Light That Burns the Sky

The following Z-moves miss an "opp" animation: (EDIT: Completed)

Spoiler:

Devastating Drake
Catastropika
Sinister Arrow Raid

The following Z-moves don't have an animation at all:

Spoiler:

Supersonic Skystrike
Acid Downpour
Tectonic Rage
Continental Crush
Savage Spin-Out
Corkscrew Crash
Stoked Sparksurfer
Malicious Moonsault
Genesis Supernova
Guardian of Alola
Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike
10 000 000 Volt Tunderbolt
Clangorous Soulblaze
Menacing Moonraze Maelstrom
Splintered Stormshards
Let's Snuggle Forever
Searing Sunraze Smash

I'll make the opposite animations for the Z-moves that miss one (second list above).
Any contribution is welcome. Don't forget to tell me in this thread if you want to make any animation.

 

[ardicoozer]

I glad you comeback..
I'll check later for the ZMoves
I'm still on dev my fangames to full version...

I ran into issues with some moves like "Rage Powder". On the Battle Animation Editor, the animation is right but when in a fight, the cloud of powder is like in top left corner, not on ennemy pokemon as it should be.

I'm currently using v19.1, no additional content, I even tried to use a clean pokemon essentials v19.1 file to test.

Am i the only one with this issue ?

Thanks for your time.

P-S : I did recompile the game by changing a pbs file and saving it then reloading the game

I will check this out. It's probably an error of focus. Thanks for reporting.

 

[RTCanwind]

Is anyone still working for this? I wonder if the PLA moves will be included in the plan.Thanks anyway.

 

[MrEoncito]

you do not know how much I was looking for animations for the movements of the 8gen, you are a sun bro never turn off

PLA moves will be included, they're in the main post.
I should be working on this, but Z-move animations are a PAIN to make.

 

[curryofthepast]

A popular fan-game episode went into beta and is going public eventually. That might mean more public animations esp for annoying stuff like the Z-moves eventually when the embargo period ends \o/. Once Z-move animations are available maybe paste some of em in as Dmax move placeholders? That's what I've been doing. Having the slots ready wouldn't hurt users who don't use ZUD. It's lazy sure, but Dmax was basically combining Mega and Z-moves into a temporary limit break anyways lol.

This contains, at the same time, both excellent news and excellent advice!
I've never thought about using other games resources as I'm already using Pokémon Reborn's animations as base for this project. Besides, I've never thought about using Z-moves as placehoders for Dynamax moves. The idea is simple and brilliant.

To make those animations, I was watching videos of how they work in the original Pokémon games, and I tried to mimic them (somehow). Z-moves and Dynamax moves, made me very discouraged because, to mimic them, I basically need to make new animation sheets and then make long (70~100-frame long) animations with this awful animation tool.

So yeah, to anyone who wondered why you got no news from this project: animations are a pain to make, all the more so if the animation is supposed to be impressive, I suck at pixel-art, and I'm alone on this.

You made my day <3
