Improved Battle Menu and Summary Screen [v17.2]

[Golisopod User]

I'm not using EBS. Where do I get "the contents of Improved Battle Menu and Summary Screen.txt"?

When I click your download link, all I see is one .txt file and a folder for graphics.

That one .txt file is the txt file I'm talking about. Did you add it to your game?

 

[SuperSpyroDragon64]

I have now added the contents of the .txt file to a new section of Script inserted above main. What comes next?

Did you follow the instructions correctly?

All the steps have been completed in order, but the Pokemon Summary screen still uses the default screen and starting a battle still causes a crash.

Are you using Essentials v16.2?

Also the Summary Screen is only gonna be different in Battle.

Also can you post your Error here.

The battle system's fixed now (i don't think anything changed between last night attempt to test the game and today's) but what's causing this bug? I copypasted the staircase's warp in Player's Starting Room and changed it to point towards a gym I'm testing.

I can't help you with this because I don't know about the event. But rest assured that the Improved Battle Menu isn't causing this error.

One more small suggestion for effectiveness display. It's probably best for fixed damage moves like Psywave, Seismic Toss, and Dragon Rage to always have a type modifier of 8 unless they don't affect the opponent.

Funnily enough, I was working on something similar for cases like Thunder Wave on Ground Types and Toxic on Steel types. But, I'm happy with this iteration of the script for now. I'm working on something else rn but I'll try to add this too when I get back to this Script. Thanks for the suggestion.

Will your script detect when the type of a target is changed by Type3 (added by Forest's Curse), and when you try using Spore on a Grass pokemon or Sleep Powder on a Vigoroth with Insomnia?

 

[silverlime]

It's also important to note that this sees through Illusion, though I'm not sure if this is intended considering it sees through type immunity abilities by default as well.

Yes

I'd actually prefer if it didn't see through illusion. I'll try to add that later.

This is a great script!
I have added it and works perfect!
But, have you tried to make a stat overlay like Sun/Moon or show move details in battle?
That would complete all visible nformation mid-battle!

I don't understand what you mean by stat overlay?

I know of a way to show move info mid battle but I'm working on something else so I won't do it right now.

he means the like in battle display that shows the stat changes,

 

[Golisopod User]

Oh I see. That uses the touch screen if I'm not mistaken. I'm not sure how well that would translate to Pokemon Essentials. I'd love to work on something like this if anyone could PM me their idea for an Essentials-version of stat overlay.

The battle system works great now, but the Pokemon Status screen is still vanilla even though I copypasted the script and code where I was supposed to.

Did I miss a step?

I don't know what is the Pokemon Status Screen. If you mean Summary Screen then check the Summary in Battle, you should see the change there only.

Went into a battle to test that, and found this.

You're using the Party Plus Script? That's what's causing the error. Try placing the Battle Menu Script below Party Plus Script.
