No problem at all, I'll probably over the Christmas holidays also do the b/w menu for essentials.

It is really nice. I installed it and found an error though. It works fine when resuming a game, but something is wrong with new game.

At line 469, replace @sprites["overlay"].opacity = 0 with:

Code:

        savefile=RTP.getSaveFileName("Game.rxdata")
        if safeExists?(savefile)
          @sprites["overlay"].opacity = 0
        end

What version of essentials are you using?

I'm using Pokemon Essentials 10.

Not sure why you would be getting that error in debug mode. I guess trying to by-pass that load method might help. Go to the main script, and change line 3 return Scene_DebugIntro.new to return Scene_Intro.new(['intro1'], 'splash') just to see if it lets you play in debug mode.

XerX · Dec 21, 2012

Nevermind. I figured it out. I had to delete my old save file.

ActionReplayer · Dec 28, 2012

Thanks man, certainly gonna user it.

p.claydon · Dec 29, 2012

is there a way to change the names colour depending on gender?

Nathan · Jan 11, 2013

Does this work on Essentials 11? If yes, i'm definitely going to use that for my game.

In theory it should work just fine, if it doesn't, I can update the script when free to 11.

Maruno · Jan 11, 2013

It'll work, just without the Mystery Gift option.

Dradier234 · Jan 19, 2013

Very nice.. This is awesome. :D

Radical Raptr · Jan 19, 2013

I am loving this
I'll be changing the graphics but great job! Thank you for this credible resource :P
