This looks cool
I also saw some other people asking for this somewhere else...

Thats pretty nice. The trozei icons will look awesome.

 

[WolfPP]

Thanks to do that for us, FL!
Also, G.E.Z and I made these icons for others generations (Raikou, Entei, Latios and Latias made by Game Freak):

Just give credits to us!

I just tried this out in my game, and unfortunately, it didn't work. I don't think these are compatible with Marin's Better Region Map.

It works for version 16, if not, do you have any future plans to adapt it?

 

[felidaex]

I tried it on 16 and 17, it only goes on 17. When you do all the same steps, 16 does not recognize drawRoamingPosition.

Great job

The class is called PokemonRegionMapScene in v16, so it ends up defining the methods in the wrong class and you can't find them when you call.

Guo, now it works perfectly thanks to what you said, thanks Vendily

Thx for this script, it works vry nice. But there is an issue, it doesn't have support for games that have more than one region. I have 4 regions on my fangame and i can see icons from other regions at the same time in one town map. So how can i fix this little issue?

Good catch! I updated the script with the fix.

It give this error when i check the town map. (PEv17.2)

Redo the first instruction (not counting "put it above main"). I changed it.

I have an issue, were the icon disappears from the map, after I encounterd the Pokémon once. Anyone knows, why?
I'm using Essentials v17.2.

Because the value on $PokemonGlobal.roamPokemon array converts from a boolean into a PokeBattle_Pokemon after first encounter and the script isn't handling this.

Fixed! Just replace the script.

One of my test players gets this error, when he's opening the map:

Pokémon XXX
---------------------------
Script 'RoamingIcon' line 22: NoMethodError occurred.

undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Whats interesting is, that I dont get this error at all, but he does.

I don't know how to reproduce this bug, so I don't know how to fix it properly. Try adding the line:

next if !RoamingSpecies || !RoamingSpecies[roamPos[0]] || !roamPos || !$PokemonGlobal.roamPokemon

after line

for roamPos in $PokemonGlobal.roamPosition

Does this work for v18.1?

EDIT: Nevermind. I got it to work. Awesome! I'm glad I found this. Thanks for making this script!

 

[DragonN3xus]

The script doesn't seem to work in conjunction with Marin's Better Region Map, would there be any way to solve it?

I'm working on it, but I haven't made a big progress. I tried to paste this before def initialize:

def drawRoamingPosition(mapindex)
    mapindex = $game_map ? pbGetMetadata($game_map.map_id, MetadataMapPosition) : nil
    for roamPos in $PokemonGlobal.roamPosition
      roamingData = RoamingSpecies[roamPos[0]]
      active = $game_switches[roamingData[2]] && (
        $PokemonGlobal.roamPokemon.size <= roamPos[0] || 
        $PokemonGlobal.roamPokemon[roamPos[0]]!=true
      )
      next if !active
      species=getID(PBSpecies,roamingData[0])
      next if !species || species<=0
      pokepos = $game_map ? pbGetMetadata(roamPos[1],MetadataMapPosition) : nil 
      next if mapindex[0]!=pokepos[0]
      x = pokepos[1]
      y = pokepos[2]
    sqwidth = PokemonRegionMap_Scene::SQUAREWIDTH
    sqheight = PokemonRegionMap_Scene::SQUAREHEIGHT
      @sprites["roaming#{species}"] = IconSprite.new(0,0,@viewport)
      @sprites["roaming#{species}"].setBitmap(getRoamingIcon(species))
      @sprites["roaming#{species}"].x = -sqwidth/2+(x*sqwidth)+ 240
      @sprites["roaming#{species}"].y = -sqheight/2+(y*sqheight)+ 187.5
    end
  end
  
  def getRoamingIcon(species)
    return nil if !species
    fileName = sprintf("Graphics/Pictures/mapPokemon%03d", species)
    ret = pbResolveBitmap(fileName)
    if !ret
      fileName = "Graphics/Pictures/mapPokemon000"
      ret = pbResolveBitmap(fileName)
    end
    return ret
  end

Then on initialize I added this:

mapindex = 0

And under:

gender = $Trainer.gender.to_digits(3)

Pasted this:

drawRoamingPosition(mapindex)

As I said, I added on the beginning of the class, so maybe changing the position you place everything makes it work.

For now, the map doesn't crash and still shows everything but the roaming icon, so if someone can help me on what I have to change it would be very helpful :D
