ZUD Plugin [Essentials v19.1]

[APUELQUEVOLVIODELOSSIMPSONS]

Yes it does. You either didn't install the plugin properly, or have a different plugin installed that also makes edits to the Pokedex. Do all of the other ZUD mechanics work?

Em... I´ve a plugin that changes the style of the pokedex with the Black and white one, also, the rest of the ZUD stuf works perfectly

Major Update: 10/16/21 - ZUD Plugin v1.1
This plugin has received its first major update since its release for v19.1. This update primarily includes the much-awaited EBDX compatibility, as well as a slew of bug fixes and tweaks. Please read the change log below for information on all of the new and changed content.

The main post will be updated shortly to reflect these changes.

Change Log:

Spoiler:

• General
  • Added compatibility with Elite Battle: DX plugin.
  • Added compatibility with Essentials Modular Battle Scene plugin.
  • Changed the naming scheme of the script files and shortened the name of the plugin itself to just "ZUD Plugin".
  • A new additional plugin named "ZUD Compatibilities" is now included as a secondary installation. This plugin is where compatibility patches for other plugins are stored.
  • Included new additional item icons for custom items added by this plugin (ex. Max Soup, Dynamax Candy XL, etc.).
  • Added a missing step to manual script edit #11 that allows for the description text of Max Moves in the summary.
  • Pruned some superfluous code that was carried over from v18.1 that is no longer needed.
  • Extra redundancies have been put in place to ensure that the triggers for in-battle ZUD mechanics don't overlap in niche situations.
  • Tweaked some of the code to take into account the latest changes to the Gen 8 Project.
  • Placeholder code has been added for the end of round common animations for certain Max Move effects (G-Max Vinelash, G-Max Wildfire, etc.). The animations themselves still need to be created, though.
  • Triggering Ultra Burst will now utilize the Mega Evolution animation upon use. However, if a common animation named "UltraBurst" and "UltraBurst2" exists, it will utilize those instead.
  
  
• Bug Fixes
  • Fixed a PP bug with Z-Powered status moves that would erroneously consume an additional PP from the base move after use.
  • Fixed a PP bug with Max Moves upon learning a new move via level-up while the user is currently Dynamaxed. Previously, the new Max Move would erroneously inherit the PP of the forgotten move.
  • Fixed a bug that would not recognize a Transformed Pokemon as capable of using a Z-Move, even if a compatible Z-Crystal was held.
  • Fixed a bug that would cause an error when exiting the move selection menu of a Transformed Pokemon after toggling Dynamax.
  • Fixed a bug with G-Max Replenish, as well as removing its reliance on a deprecated method.
  • Fixed a bug with Dynamax that could cause crashes if the user is KO'd before their Dynamax turns expired.
  • Fixed a bug with Max Raid Battles where capturing the raid Pokemon would sometimes fail when it was otherwise supposed to be a guaranteed catch.
  • Fixed an issue with Max Raid dens where den events on different maps may unintentionally share the same saved raid info if both events share the same Event ID number. You may now have up to 100 raid den events per map without this overlap issue.
  
  
• Elite Battle: DX - Notes
  • Removed "Elite Battle: DX" as a conflict for the ZUD Plugin in its meta.txt file.
  • Added new UI sprites for ZUD mechanics that suits EBDX's graphical style.
  • Included updated PBS files for certain EBDX components to recognize ZUD mechanics.
  • Ultra Burst will utilize EBDX's Mega Evolution animation upon activation.
  • Z-Moves will utilize EBDX's Aura Flare animation upon activation.
  • Dynamax will utilize EBDX's form change and Roar animations upon activation.
  • Added calls for trainer battle speech for EBDX's scripted battles feature. You can call these prior to using a ZUD mechanic in a trainer battle with the following:
    • Z-Moves: "zmove" or "zmoveOpp"
    • Ultra Burst: "ultra" or "ultraOpp"
    • Dynamax: "dynamax" or "dynamaxOpp"
  
  
• Modular Battle Scene - Notes
  • The battle size for Max Raids is capped at 5 when EMBS is installed, instead of 3. However, 3 is still set as the default.
  • When setting up a test raid battle in the Max Raid Database, the options to set the battle size as 4v1 or 5v1 will now appear when EMBS is installed.
  • When entering a Dynamax Adventure, the default rental party size will be set at 4 with EMBS installed, rather than 3.
  • Certain mechanics, such as the Shift feature and the move Ally Swap will not function correctly in battle sizes larger than 3. Additionally, target selection menus may not be properly aligned. These are issues with EMBS itself, not the ZUD Plugin.

I've found that the camera can be extremely wonky when doing a double/triple battle while using EBDX, did I do something wrong or is this a visual bug?

 

[ash136]

Every time I start the game I keep getting this message

Exception `SyntaxError' at -e - 158:Battler_UseMove_TriggerEffects:191: syntax error, unexpected end-of-input, expecting `end'
-e:in `eval': 158:Battler_UseMove_TriggerEffects:191: syntax error, unexpected end-of-input, expecting `end' (SyntaxError)

You incorrectly copied over manual script edit #3. Please pay attention to what you're doing when making these edits, I even made a note reminding you to mind the number of "end's" you're replacing.

When entering any battle where Dynamax is available to be used, the camera will default to using the Dynamax vectors set up in PBS/EBDX/metrics. These were the best camera angles I could come up with that would fit all the enlarged Dynamax sprites on screen. Yes, it's still wonky. Yes, it's annoying that the camera still uses Dynamax vectors even if you choose not to use Dynamax that battle. I have no idea how to alter the camera vectors mid-battle and have them "stick", so it's the best I could come up with.

Thank you for the quick response! I'm finding that the strange camera angles still appear in areas where I shouldn't be able to Dynamax (using the double battle on route 3 as an example).

 

[Lucidious89]

Probably because you have DMAX_ANYMAP set to "true", meaning that trainer battles on any map are flagged as a Dynamax-able battle. I may have accidentally uploaded the plugin with this setting set to "true" by default by mistake, where it should be "false".

That was indeed the issue, thank you again so much!

So here is my personal opinion, not gonna lie I do like how you executed the EBDX Compatability for ZUD. The animations and how the ZUD functionality was handled. The only thing that I dislike was that how you set the DYNAMAX metrics directly at the start of the battle which can give out some wonky results. But other than that, the compatibility done was amazing.

If theres a better way to handle the camera metrics, im more than willing to change it.

When I enable DMAX_ANYMAP and CAN_DMAX_WILD to "true", the Pokemon's sprite in battle gets smaller. What do I need to do to fix this problem?

Its just unfortunately how it works. Any battle where Dynamax is possible will utilize a zoomed out camera so that enlarged Dynamax Pokemon will fit on screen. So if you make every battle Dynamax-capable, then every battle will be zoomed out.

If you want to adjust this, youll have to tinker with the Dynamax vectors in EBDX's metrics PBS.

I dont know of any better way to handle how the camera functions, unless someone experienced with EBDX wants to suggest something.

I get the following error whenever I open the pokedex/summary or enter a battle (every scene where a sprite is supposed to be displayed):

Steps I did after unpacking vanilla Essentials:
Adding 19.1 Hotfix plugin
Adding Gen 8 Project
Tested and worked
Drag and dropped the ZUD Plugin files from primary installation and overwrote the files
Did 2. B), C), E) and F) and followed the guide doing the script changes
Compiled everything. The necessary files were compiled. No errors.

But everytime a sprite is supposed to show up i get the error.

Is it possible that you added the EBDX Compatibility while not using EBDX?

 

[NyanNyanFeyris]

No I did not touch the EBDX folder.

 

[NoNoNever]

No I did not touch the EBDX folder.

or try to update the gen 8 project you use 1.1.0

v1.1.1 is the current version

 

[NyanNyanFeyris]

I am using the latest version. I know that on reliccastle it shows 1.1.1 but I even re-downloaded it.
It shows 1.1.0 no matter what. In the instructions is also stated that it is supposed to show 1.1.0.

The issue is a mistake on my end. I updated the ZUD scripts to accommodate changes for the upcoming v1.1.2 of the Gen 8 Project, which has not been released yet. I've updated the ZUD Plugin to v1.1.1 to fix this, as well as some other minor things.

Oh great. Thank you very much!
