Improved Battle Menu and Summary Screen [v17.2]

SuperSpyroDragon64 said:
Doing that means I can now enter battles without crashing, nice. But it's still using the vanilla in-battle Pokemon Summary Screen.

I just went through the Party Plus script and found out that it overrides many of the changes made in the Improved Battle Menu. It will overwrite the Summary and also break double battles.
 
So for move details, (since someone asked and golisopod you said you wouldnt work on it yet) is just have a new button input, and with a key press it'd give the description(?) since you can grab the selected move surely and get its desc from that. not actually looked into adding it yet, mainly since you can just view it in the summary, but it would be a nice touch;

also i have worked on a stat-overlay, but it requires changing how the bars work and i designed it for ebs, but it works for me atleast. not looke voerally into how the hp and stuff window generates/works in base essentials but guessing it uses the actual graphic as the base and nothing can go beyond it.
 
Could a "Lite" version of this be made that just affects how your own move selection options look in-battle, without making any changes to the pokemon select screen or anything else?

Just turn USE_NEW_SUMMARY to false and that will fix the Summary Screen.

If by Pokemon select you mean selecting a target in double battles then no, that's not possible.
 
I actually installed your script with mine. his initial error is he didn't change the instance of
Code: 
@sprites["fightwindow"]=FightMenuDisplay.new(nil,@viewport)
in my script to what you put in the install instructions. other than that the only other issue is that your script forbids access to pokemon past slot 6 in battles. to fix that def pbSwitch(index,lax,cancancel) needs to have lines 524-526 changed from
Code: 
    for i in 0...6
      modparty.push(party[partypos[i]])
    end
to
Code: 
	if $Trainer.partyplus>=1
    for i in 0...$Trainer.partyplus
      modparty.push(party[partypos[i]])
    end
	else
    for i in 0...6
      modparty.push(party[partypos[i]])
    end
	end

I have changed USE_NEW_SUMMARY to false, and changed the modparty.push script as instructed. My new error is:

Is this new error a step in the right direction? I have both PartyPlus and Improved Battle Menu scrips in separate newly-inserted script blocks above Main. Should I put PartyPlus on top or IBM? And should these script blocks have names?

EDIT:

I tried combining my "set party size" NPC and "Give me a pikachu" NPC, didn't help.

If you read the error message, you'll see that there is no mention of the Improved Battle Menu in it. You have made a derp somewhere.

change it from this
$Trainer.partyplus='30'
to this
$Trainer.partyplus=30
 
It worked, I now have a full team of 30 Pokemon! There are some visual glitches where the 7th pokemon in a row doesn't have his highlighter-selection-indicator-thing show up right, but it doesn't seem to impact overall functionality.

New error, this one comes up when I try using more than 6 pokemon in a battle against an NPC.

I don't know exactly how Party Plus works but as I told yoe earlier, it seems to override many of the things that the Improved Battle Menu does.

For example. The line I told you to overwrite in the Instructions is rewritten in the Party Plus. You need to replace it there too.
 
I have replaced the code in both sections of script. When I Shift-CTRL-F there are now 5 instances of modparty.push(party and so on. Two in partyplus, two in IBM, and one in PokeBattle_Scene.

edit: make that six. Tried replacing the code as commanded in PokeBattle_Scene, got another error when attempting to battle.

I have made the changes everywhere, to all 3 places in the code that try to get my party. (i think that's what the code does)

Those parts of the code now use your modified code, but I'm still getting the same bug whenever I try to battle someone with my full party of thirty pokemon VS someone with only two.

Is there something extra I need to code onto NPC battles?

that would count as a mod for my script. if you can, please send me your data through discord. it's not a problem with Golisipods script at this point
 
Battles work now, but the Pokemon Menu's "display all Pokemon" state still has a weird bug when I've got a full team of 30 Pokemon exactly and a maximum team size of 30.

Every first Pokemon slot from the second row down acts strangely, as if it's mis-aligned and hidden behind another slot. I can only access those slots by pressing right enough times, and the slot doesn't highlight normally when it's highlighted. But if I press right again, that slot is highlighted correctly, though a different Pokemon above the first is selected. The bottom-left Pokemon slot is missing.

I don't think I described this very well. Should I make a video to show this?
 
"display all Pokemon"? You mean the party screen or the Improved Summary Screen. If you mean the improved Summary Screen then yeah, it doesn't support more than 6 Pokemon so you may see some bugs.
 
wonderful script, thanks for share!
i did some edits to look like HGSS style

Looks sweet. I'm not much of an art/UI person so I just ripped the Summary Scren from BW2 and made some edits.

Also, here's the progress I've made with the script. Feedback would ne appreciated.
