Generation 8 Project for Essentials v19.1

[Heracross719]

That's helpful and something I needed to hear. Thanks. I'll just keep hanging on to see what happens with scripts i'm using (like the quest system, etc) Sorry again for being a turd today.

 

[Golisopod User]

The plugin has been updated to v1.0.2
Bugfixes:
Renamed a few misnamed overworld sprites
Renamed a few misnamed forms

Changes:
Applied all the fixes from Essentials v19.1

Hey, so there's a couple things related to this project I wanted to bring your attention to:

1. The "Generation" attribute for Galarian Ponyta and Galarian Darumaka are missing, so they're defaulting to the Generation of their base forms. These should be set to Generation 8.
   
   
2. Gorilla Tactics should probably be initialized as "nil" instead of -1, to make it consistent with how Choice Band works. It's not a big deal, but it just makes it easier to have them both implemented the same way if you're designing mechanics that take both effects into account (ehem, something like Dynamax or somethin', maybe... >_>)
   
   
3. The icon sprites for many of the species aren't consistently positioned (and some are cut off even, or have other small errors), so if you have several animated icons appear on screen at once, they may "bounce" at different times, and look really out of sync. This is mostly an issue with the Gen 7 & 8 icons. I've fixed all of these by hand a while back, and offered them to UberDunsparce for the v18.1 release, but he never got back to me. If you're interested in having them for the v19.1 iteration though, let me know.
   
   
4. The Habitat attribute for all species are missing (as you state in your post). I've also added all of these in myself if you'd like the file. I've included Habitats for all Gen4+ species as well that seemed to suit them, but if you just want the official habitats, I can easily omit them.

Also, WolfPP has made a set of Gen 6-8 footprints, and at the bottom of the post for the Gen 8 footprints is a link to a pack formatted for v19.

 

[Lucidious89]

Oh, one more tiny thing I ran into: The Item PBS renames all the "wing" items to "feather", but the hash for the move Fling still calls them by their "wing" names.

EDIT: Actually, this only applies to the Pretty Feather/Wing item. I just noticed the other wing items kept their old names in the PBS.

Generation 8 Project for Essentials v19
Generation 8 Scripts, PBS, Sprites, Cries and more, all formatted for Essentials v19​

Overview:
Essentials did bring some great improvements such as performance boosts through mkpx-z, customizable event sizes, customizable controls, HTTPS support, and more! However, it was missing one key feature that we all wanted ... Generation 8 content. So, while we wait for the eventual v20 to bring this content, I have undertaken the task to bring Generation 8 to Essentials v19 by myself. I've taken the liberty to port all of the code, PBS, sprites and cries from the old Gen 8 Project, format it for v19 and improve upon it.

Features:

• PBS for items, Pokemon, Moves, Abilities etc from Gen 1-8 + DLC, formatted to work with v19
• Battler and Icon Sprites for all Pokemon from Gen 1-8 + DLC, formatted to work with v19 (And EBDX too)
• Overworld Sprites for all Pokemon from Gen 1-8 + DLC, formatted to work with v19 and Following Pokemon EX
• Icons for all Items from Gen 1-8 (Including Isle of Armor and Crown Tundra)
• Scripts for Moves, Abilities, Items and all new mechanics (Except Z-Moves and Dynamax) from Gen 1-8 + DLC
• An easy method to scale sprites, thanks to Luka S.J.!
• All fixes from the v19 hotfix plugin, all baked into the system. No more errors!
• More frequent updates than base v19, because this project is based on the GitHub version of Essentials.
• Updated auto sprite renamer, for easy compatibility with Gigantamax from the v19 version of the ZUD plugin
• Plug-and-Play installation

Fixes from the Previous Version:

Spoiler:

• All Pokedex entries and Egg Moves have been updated to Gen 8
• All reported bugs with moves, items, tms and pokemon PBS have been fixed
• Alot of the scripts have been vastly improved, with alot of refactoring.
• The project runs at 60 FPS by default.
• Most, if not all bugs from the last project have been fixed
• Added Overworlds for all missing Pokemon (except Eternal Flower Floette)
• Updated all sprites to the latest version from the XY Sprite Project
• No more tiny backsprites, thanks to Luka S.J.!
• Repositioned almost all of the battler sprites (still a wip)
• Added in all the missing Pokemon and Item Icons
• Updated all GMax Battlers and Icons to match the ZUD Plugin
• Scripts are provided in both, rxdata form (for base v19 users) and extracted form (for GitHub users)

Changes for Base Essentials v19:

Spoiler:

• Reduced some of the lag on AMD devices
• Sprite renamer is now in the Debug menu and doesn't run when compiling.
• Fixed bug in conversion of Bag contents and Phone number entries.
• Fixed not being able to move right in keyboard text entry.
• Fixed mispositioning of text and icons in text.
• Fixed crash when soft resetting.
• Fixed crash when Struggle and confusion pseudo-moves are used.
• Fixed broken AI for many different moves.
• Fixed crash after evolution.
• Fixed crash when editing weather map metadata and starting an advanced trainer battle.
• Fixed dynamic shadows not disappearing after a transfer.
• Fixed events not seeing the player at a distance if facing left.
• Fixed demo party not clearing the party before adding itself.
• ixed Pokemon icon renamer/mover not moving shiny Pokémon icons properly.
• Fixed crash when starting a battle against two trainers.
• Fixed Pokemon not asking which move to replace upon level up in battle.
• Fixed rounding error in positioning of overworld weather tile sprites.
• Fixed incorrect default species body shape.
• Fixed potential foreign Pokémon with blank names.
• Fixed Pokemon not un-mega evolving after battle, mega stone being losable and special Mega Evolution messages not being used.
• Fixed Kyurem not fusing properly and not learning moves upon fusion.
• Fixed Game Variables being weird.
• Fixed error message when a required plugin is missing.
• Fixed Event Touch not working.
• Fixed type error matchup calculation.
• Fixed event movement checks ignoring ledges if they're not on the top layer.
• Fixed Sketch, Metronome, Poké Flute, Illusion not working in battle.
• Fixed many bugs with shadow pokemon.

This plugin is not compatible with Essentials v18, v17.2, v16.2, or any other older version of Essentials. I do not plan to add compatibility for any of them.

Instructions:

Spoiler:

Installation of Script:

Spoiler:

1. Make a backup of your project incase you have any custom changes in your Scripts, Pokemon or Items folder.
   • NOTE: Backing up your project basically means Ctrl+C your game folder and Ctrl + V it somewhere else to keep your changes from being permanently overwritten by the next step
2. Extract the contents of the ZIP file into your game's root folder. (The folder with Game.exe in it). This will make permanent changes to your project, so make sure you completed step 1.
3. This step is different depending on whether you use GitHub or no.
   • If you don't use GitHub, or don't know what it is, then open the Data folder in your game, and delete the folder called "Scripts".
   • If you do use GitHub, then go ahead and revert any changes that have been made to "Scripts.rxdata".
4. This step is different depending on whether you use EBDX or no.
   • If you don't use EBDX, or don't know what it is, then open the Graphics folder in your game, and delete the folder called "EBDX".
   • If you do use EBDX, move onto the next step.
5. Start a new game.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Spoiler:

Battler Sprites:
Q: Why do the sprites get cut off in the Summary Screen?
A: This was implemented because the sprites in the Generation 8 Project are much bigger than default Essentials sprites. It doesn't look the best in the Summary, but works very well everywhere else.

Q: Why do some Gen 6 Sprites have different Palettes/Styles for their Front and Back sprites?
A: This is because the Gen 6 Smogon Resource is going through a major sprite revamp. This will be all made consistent eventually.

Q: The sprites in the Pokemon folder are at 1x scale. Will they look small in battle?
A: No. The project comes with an inbuilt sprite scaler which scales all Pokemon sprites in code. They will all be scaled based on some constants in the Settings script section.

Q: Why are the backsprites in battle so weird looking?
A: The project comes with an inbuilt sprite scaler which scales all Pokemon sprites in code. The scaler is set to scale all backsprites to 3x scale in battle by default.

Q: I hate the inconsistent pixel density between the front and back sprites. Can you fix it?
A: I believe that the BW sprites actually look much worse without being scaled, which is why I took the decision to change it. If you wanna fix it, you can change the constant in the Settings script section and manually reposition the 1374 sprites yourself.
(If you are willing to compile, organize, rename and reposition and correct the sRGB profile of HGSS style backsprites, consistent with current base Essentials sprites, for all 898 Pokemon, I'll gladly include it in the pack)

Q: I want animated battlers. What should I do?
A: The project adds back GIF support and has the EBDX Bitmap Wrapper, so you can use GIFs as well as spritesheets (like the ones used in EBDX) for your animated battle sprites.

Q: Can I have certain Pokemon at certain scales?
A: You can do it yourself, the scaler won't do it for you though. And no, I won't set up anything for you to have this happen.

Q: I added a custom sprite but it's flickering/behaving weirdly. What should I do?
A: Make sure the sprite you are using has a square canvas ie it's width and height are the same. It won't flicker if it's in a square canvas.

Q: I see sprites in the folders with "_gmax" in their names, does that mean ZUD works with v19?
A: no


Icons Sprites:
Q: Where can I get Shiny Icons? Why aren't they in the pack?
A: Shiny icons don't exist officially, so they are not included in the pack. Essentials makes up for this by showing the Shiny Star Icon next to the Pokemon Icon.
(If you willing to recolor/collect recolored icons, organizing and renaming them and correcting the sRGB profile, I'll gladly include it in the pack)

Q: Some of the icons don't animate. Can you fix this?
A: Since Gens 6-8 don't have a 2 frame animations, the icons are static with a small jump animation. (Please let me know if any icon doesn't have a jump animation)

Q: I see icon sprites in the folders with "_gmax" in their names, does that mean ZUD works with v19?
A: no


Overworld Sprites:
Q: Some Overworld Sprites are bouncing while others aren't. Can you fix this?
A: Yeah I know, I'm working on that.


PBS Questions:
Q: Why is the Habitat entry missing in the pokemon.txt from X Pokemon when it was there in the default Essentials PBS?
A: Yeah I know, I'm working on that.

Q: Why is Pokedex entry missing in the pokemonforms.txt for X Pokemon when it was there in the default Essentials PBS?
A: I have added Pokedex entries in pokemonforms.txt for all the Pokemon that I could find. If you still think any are missing, feel free to report it.

Q: The sprite of X Pokemon is too low/high in battle?
A: Yeah I know, I'm working on that.


Script related Questions:
Q: How do I evolve Milcery?
A: Give Milcery the Sweet Item of your choice. The item decides the topping, but the "swirl" you'll get is randomized.

Q: How do I evolve Galarian Yamask?
A: Get 49 damage or more before fainting.

Q: Why were the Milcery and Yamask evolution methods changed?
A: The code for them was bloated and complex and caused lag. Changing it was probably for the better.

Q: How can I edit the scale to which the sprites are scaled?
A: Edit the Constants FRONT_BATTLER_SPRITE_SCALE and BACK_BATTLER_SPRITE_SCALE in the Settings script section.

Q: The auto sprite renamer was updated to work with ZUD Plugin, does that mean ZUD works with v19?
A: no

Q: The changed FPS looks weird, how can I fix it?
A: In the MKXP Compatibility script section, change the Graphics.frame_rate = 60 to Graphics.frame_rate = 40

Q: EBDX is weirdly sped up when using the Gen 8 Project. How do I fix it?
A: In the MKXP Compatibility script section, change the Graphics.frame_rate = 60 to Graphics.frame_rate = 40

Q: How can I edit the "box" for cutting off the battler sprites?
A: Edit the numbers inside the .constrict function in Pokemon_SpriteScaler script section. Eg: the 164 in @sprites["pokemon"].constrict

Q: Has X bug from the previous version of the project been fixed?
A: I have made sure to fix all bugs that were reported from the previous version. If there's any unreported bug which hasn't been fixed, feel free to report it.

Q: It seems like the v19 hotfix plugin doesn't work with the project. What should I do?
A: That is correct, the project actively ignores the v19 Hotfixes plugin. This is because all those fixes are baked into the system itself, so all the project does is overwrite Gen 8 changes.

Q: I get an incorrect sRGB profile in the Debug Console. What should I do?
A: All of the sprites included in the project have correct sRGB profiles. This is probably an error in your own custom graphics. To fix it, open your graphic in an image editor and save it again.



EBDX Sprite related Questions:
Q: After extracting the project, I have both numbered and non-numbered sprites in the Battlers folder. What should I do?
A: Ideally it won't be a problem. Since EBDX code prioritizes symbolic names first, the old numbered sprites will be ignored. But it'd be better to delete the old numbered sprites to avoid duplicates and save memory.

Q: After using the sprites from the project all my battlers are floating?
A: This is because the sprites need to be repositioned to work with EBDX. This will be done in the future when the Sprite Positioner for EBDX is completed. However, this is low priority for me.
(If you willing to reposition all the sprites in the pack for EBDX, I'll gladly include it in the pack)

Q: I see sprites in the folders with "_gmax" in their names, does that mean ZUD works with v19 and EBDX?
A: no

Q: I see a "Gigantimax" folder in the EBDX battlers, does that mean ZUD works with v19 and EBDX?
A: no

Q: There folder with the Gigantamax battlers has been misspelled as "Gigantimax", should I change that to the correct spelling?
A: No. The code for EBDX only reads Gigantamax battler sprites from the "Gigantimax" folder. Don't change it. If any changes are to be made, I'll make them.

Q: Since all the Gigantamax sprites are in the "Gigantimix" folder, should I delete the sprites with "_gmax" in their names?
A: No. Since the v19 ZUD plugin doesn't exist yet, I don't know how its naming convention will work, so I'm keeping all options open. If any changes are to be made, I'll make them.

  Plugin released

There is a problem with Arceus form 9 battler sprites, they are 160 * 160 rather 96 * 96. So they are immensely big after getting scaled.

 

[PauloJugoslavia]

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this. But when a Pokemon wtih 4 moves is learning a new move in battle, I can't select no in the prompt "Forget a move to learn...". I press back, and it loops again, I select no, and it loops again. I have to select yes, and select the new move in order to move on. Has this happened to anyone else?

 

[Golisopod User]

There is a problem with Arceus form 9 battler sprites, they are 160 * 160 rather 96 * 96. So they are immensely big after getting scaled.

Oh, one more tiny thing I ran into: The Item PBS renames all the "wing" items to "feather", but the hash for the move Fling still calls them by their "wing" names.

Thanks for reporting this

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this.

It's not the right place, because as far as I know, being able to replace a move when you already have 4 moves isn't something new that was added in Gen 8. I think it has been a thing since Gen 1. I may be wrong tho.
Try updating your project to the latest version. If it still doesn't work then I'd recommend reporting this bug here.

 

[Golisopod User]

There is a problem with Arceus form 9 battler sprites, they are 160 * 160 rather 96 * 96. So they are immensely big after getting scaled.

Just realized that Form 9 is ??? Arceus, something that is not included in the Project. That's why your sprite for it is 160x160, since it's using the default sprite instead. I won't be providing a changed sprite for it.

 

[Shashu-Greninja]

Oh I was just looking around the sprite positions of all the species when I noticed the extra large sprites.

[Lucidious89]

Hey, I found some more minor things you may want to address while I was adapting some scripts for this project. Apologies if any of these have already been reported.

Sprites:

Spoiler:

• Alolan Sandslash's back sprite has transparent claws.
• Galarian Darumaka's icon sprite is numbered _2 instead of _1.
• Manaphy's icon sprite uses its egg icon, instead of its Pokemon icon.
• The following species' icons are still misaligned with the rest of the icons, or only part of the sprite moves:
  • Munna
  • Blitzle
  • Zebstrika
  • Petilil
  • Tirtouga
  • Frillish
  • Jellicent
  • Alolan Sandshrew
  • Alolan Diglett
  • Alolan Dugtrio
  • Bouldore
  • Tornadus-T
  • Thundurus-T

Pokemon cries:

Spoiler:

• Yellow Flower Floette (form 1) uses a slightly different cry from its other forms. Is this meant to be Eternal Flower Floette's cry (Form 5)? If so, the audio file is misnamed.
• The following species are missing cry files: Applin, Sizzlipede, Morgrem.

PBS data:

Spoiler:

• The following species are missing a "Generation" label: Mew, Celebi, Rayquaza, Arceus, Genesect, Volcanion, Melmetal.
• Small-sized Gourgeist is missing its stat entries.
• All Gourgeist forms, as well as Keldeo, Rockruff, and Magearna forms have unnecessary Tutor moves data, as they just learn the same moves as their base form does (which have different lists of moves in pokemon.txt in some cases).
• Minior is missing all of its tutor moves.
• The following species are missing a "form name" to make them consistent with other species:
  • Base Mr.Mime is missing "Kantonian Form".
  • Base Stunfisk is missing "Unovan Form".
  • Base Yamask is missing "Unovan Form".
  • Base Darumaka is missing "Unovan Form".
  • Base Polteageist is missing "Phony Form".
• Darmanitan's form names are inconsistent across all of its forms. They could probably be renamed to something like:
  "Unovian Form Standard Mode", "Unovan Form Zen Mode", "Galarian Form Standard Mode", and "Galarian Form Zen Mode", respectively.
• Basculin's forms are named inconsistently. Its base form is named "Red-Striped Form", but its other form is just called "Blue-Striped" without the "form".

[Golisopod User]

Just discovered a small bug in the Number Battled shiny generation. The download has been updated to rectify that. Please redownload the project if you already downloaded it.

 

[PyroGaleZX]

Hey, I had this installed already earlier and when I saw an update I downloaded it again and reinstalled it, however when I tested a battle the sprites were microscopic.

I have no clue what went wrong I installed it all the same.
I started a new game also just to be sure.
I did have to reinstall ZUD Plugin and started the game up again

My main question is just, where is the resizing of the sprites is defined?

Hey, I had this installed already earlier and when I saw an update I downloaded it again and reinstalled it, however when I tested a battle the sprites were microscopic.

Yeah we tracked the issue to the ZUD Plugin. An update for it has just been released to fix that, make sure to get that.

The plugin has been updated to v1.1.1.

Bugfixes:

• Fixed a crash with moves that affect items, like Fling and Teatime.
• Fixed Max Mushrooms being in the incorrect pocket.
• Fixed Nature Power having inappropriate moves.
• Fixed Double Iron Bash dealing 2x damage to minimized targets.
• Fixed Leppa Berries' Gen 8 effect causing a crash.
• Fixed Iron Ball quadrupling the effectiveness of Ground moves, when it shouldn't.
• Fixed Shaymin transforming into its base form when it's not supposed to.
• Fixed Sky Forme Shaymin causing a crash on the load screen.
• Fixed Fluffy not being affected by Long Reach.
• Fixed Soundproof affecting the user if the target of the move is the user itself.
• Fixed Speed Boost boosting the speed of a Pokemon that's fleeing from battle.
• Fixed Adrenaline Orb triggering inspite of intimidate.
• Fixed Assault Vest blocking the usage of Me First.
• Fixed Dive Ball not boosting its catch rate at the appropriate time.
• Fixed Howl not being a spread and sound move.
• Fixed Curse's Ghost effect targeting a specific foe, rather than random like in Gen 8.
• Fixed Unburden ignoring Neutralizing gas' effect.

Changes:

• Added a setting to increase the EV gained from power items to Gen 8 standards.
• Added a setting to increase the Premier Balls received from Pokemarts as commemorative items to Gen 8 standards.
• Added all the fixes from the v19.1 Hotfix Plugin v1.0.2. You can install it if it's some plugin's requirement, but it's not necessary.

Rising Voltage should be increased in power based on if the target is affected by the terrain, not based on if the user is.
This is what is shipped with the project:

Spoiler:

class PokeBattle_Move_18D < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbBaseDamage(baseDmg,user,target)
    baseDmg *= 2 if @battle.field.terrain == :Electric && user.affectedByTerrain?
    return baseDmg
  end
end

To be accurate to Rising Voltage's canon functionality, this should be used instead:

Spoiler:

class PokeBattle_Move_18D < PokeBattle_Move
  def pbBaseDamage(baseDmg,user,target)
    baseDmg *= 2 if @battle.field.terrain == :Electric && target.affectedByTerrain?
    return baseDmg
  end
end
