Script: [v17+] Roaming Icon on Map

Any plan to update this to be compatible with v19?
Click to expand...
I updated the main post.

The old version. Tested on v17.2 and v18.1:
Code: 
#===============================================================================
# * Roaming Icon - by FL (Credits will be apreciated)
#===============================================================================
#
# This script is for Pokémon Essentials. It displays icons on map for roaming
# pokémon.
#
#===============================================================================
#
# To this script works, put it above main. On script section PScreen_RegionMap,
# add line 'drawRoamingPosition(mapindex)' before line 
# 'if playerpos && mapindex==playerpos[0]'. For each roaming pokémon icon, put
# an image on "Graphics/Pictures/mapPokemonXXX.png" changing XXX for species
# number, where "Graphics/Pictures/mapPokemon000.png" is the default one.
#
#===============================================================================

class PokemonRegionMap_Scene
  def drawRoamingPosition(mapindex)
    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!=pokepos[0]
      x = pokepos[1]
      y = pokepos[2]
      @sprites["roaming#{species}"] = IconSprite.new(0,0,@viewport)
      @sprites["roaming#{species}"].setBitmap(getRoamingIcon(species))
      @sprites["roaming#{species}"].x = -SQUAREWIDTH/2+(x*SQUAREWIDTH)+(
        Graphics.width-@sprites["map"].bitmap.width
      )/2
      @sprites["roaming#{species}"].y = -SQUAREHEIGHT/2+(y*SQUAREHEIGHT)+(
        Graphics.height-@sprites["map"].bitmap.height
      )/2
    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
end
 
Enamorus one! :)
Credit me if used.

Also lemme know if we have more pokémons that use that mechanic (since gen 8).
Cya!

Hello, I am using PE 20.1 and the icons are not appearing on the map, even though I followed the installation steps in the script. Do you have any idea where this could be coming from?

I tested here in v20.1 and it is working.
  • If you converted it into a plugin, make sure that it was compiled and correctly converted.
  • Make sure that the graphics and his folder have the right names. I suggest testing with the examples.
  • Make sure that the roaming pokémon were enabled (you can easily check in debug).
  • Make sure that you pasted the line in the right place.
  • If nothing works, test in a vanilla v20.1, maybe is something in your project interfering.

Do you think the issue could be related to the fact that I'm using 4 regions?
 
FL said:
I tested now, the script work with other regions. You can find the roaming pokémon in these regions?

Yes, the Pokémon in question are findable/capturable. Here's the list of plugins I'm using with PE 20.1. Please let me know if you have any compatibility concerns with any of these or if you know of any. Thank you in advance for your help and your work:
Spoiler: Plugin list

By name, no one looks like it was changing the map system.

If you have a code editor (like Atom, VS Code and Notepad++) you can make sure. Search for 'class PokemonRegionMap_Scene' (you can search at all files once, opening the folder and using the editor global Ctrl+F, the command is Ctrl+Shif+F for VS Code). If this piece of code was found, some script redefines something in the map. If the scripts redefines pbStartScene (the 'def pbStartScene' was inside of class PokemonRegionMap_Scene) doing this script instructions (pasting 'draw_roaming_position(mapindex)' in the right spot) may make the script compatible.

Thank you very much for your help, the issue was with the use of the plugin: Lin's Pokegear Themes, it was just necessary to integrate your function into it. Everything is functional now!

Hey Fl, Great script I love it.

Any way to make it be shown in the Pokedex instead of townmaps?

Also found a "glitch" I think.
When flip a switch for the "Roaming" encounter, and I open the Pokegear's Town map before changing map, so that the roaming encounter updates, my game crashes.
If I wait with opening the town map til after I've changed map once it works.

I haven't converted it into a plugin or any of the sorts.

After the last `end` in my script, add

Code: 
class PokemonRegionMap_Scene
  def self.refresh_pokedex(sprites, visible)
    icon_index = 0
    loop do
      break if !sprites["roaming#{icon_index}"]
      sprites["roaming#{icon_index}"].visible = visible
      icon_index+=1
    end
  end
  def self.draw_roaming_position2(sprites, viewport, mapindex)
    icon_index = 0
    for roam_pos in $PokemonGlobal.roamPosition
      active = $game_switches[Settings::ROAMING_SPECIES[roam_pos[0]][2]] && (
        $PokemonGlobal.roamPokemon.size <= roam_pos[0] || 
        $PokemonGlobal.roamPokemon[roam_pos[0]]!=true
      )
      next if !active
      roam_town_map_pos = GameData::MapMetadata.try_get(
        roam_pos[1]
      )&.town_map_position
      next if mapindex!=roam_town_map_pos&.[](0)
      x = roam_town_map_pos[1]
      y = roam_town_map_pos[2]
      sprites["roaming#{icon_index}"] = IconSprite.new(0,0,viewport)
      sprites["roaming#{icon_index}"].setBitmap(
        get_roaming_icon2(Settings::ROAMING_SPECIES[roam_pos[0]][0])
      )
      sprites["roaming#{icon_index}"].x = -SQUARE_WIDTH/2+(x*SQUARE_WIDTH)+(
        Graphics.width-sprites["areamap"].bitmap.width
      )/2
      sprites["roaming#{icon_index}"].y = -SQUARE_HEIGHT/2+(y*SQUARE_HEIGHT)+(
        Graphics.height-sprites["areamap"].bitmap.height
      )/2
      icon_index+=1
    end
  end
  def self.get_roaming_icon2(species)
    species_data = GameData::Species.try_get(species)
    return nil if !species_data
    path = "Graphics/Pokemon/Map icons/"
    if species_data.form > 0
      ret = pbResolveBitmap(
        sprintf("%s%s_%d",path, species_data.species, species_data.form)
      )
      return ret if ret
    end
    ret = pbResolveBitmap(sprintf("%s%s", path, species_data.species))
    return ret if ret
    return pbResolveBitmap(path+"000")
  end
end

Then, in UI Pokédex Entry, before line
Code: 
@sprites["areahighlight"] = BitmapSprite.new(Graphics.width, Graphics.height, @viewport)
add
Code: 
PokemonRegionMap_Scene.draw_roaming_position2(@sprites,@viewport,@region)

After line
Code: 
overlay.clear
add line
Code: 
PokemonRegionMap_Scene.refresh_pokedex(@sprites, @page == 2)
.

Hey Fl. Thanks alot, I updated the script. and did the changes you've done, the image shows in the Pokedex as I want, but the "Area unknown" text is still in the middle of the screen is there a way to remove that?
