This script is for RPG Maker XP. It adds a lot of useful classes and methods for scripters:

RandomHelper who make doing things like raffle a lot easier. Recommended even for non-scripters.
Variable Switches Alias, who makes switch/variable access shorter and more readable
Tween system
Multiversion/non-essentials layer (partial)
Misc classes and methods

Works with or without Essentials. Partially works as PSDK plugin. Tested in Essentials v13 and v21.1. If this script isn't working on latest Essentials version, please inform on this thread. Below, examples based in Essentials, but most works in a vanilla RPG Maker XP project:

RandomHelper

Ruby:

helper = ItemRandomHelper.new
helper.add(60, :POTION)
helper.add(30, :ANTIDOTE)
helper.add(10, :ETHER)
pbItemBall(helper.get)

Variable Switches Alias

Original code to remove an apricorn:

Ruby:

$bag.remove(pbGet(8))
data = GameData::Item.get(pbGet(8))
pbSet(3, data.name)

With this script:

Ruby:

$bag.remove($gv[:APRICORN_DELIVERED])
data = GameData::Item.get($gv[:APRICORN_DELIVERED])
$gv[:TEMP_PKMN_NAME] = data.name

Ruby:

$bag.remove($gv[8])
data = GameData::Item.get($gv[8])
$gv[3] = data.name

Tweener

All movements in this gif were made in sample scene. The first Marill's movement was made with this code:

Ruby:

# Move Marill to (x:Graphics.width/2 and y:64) in 1.5s.
@tweener.add(MoveTween.new(@sprites["Marill"], Graphics.width/2, 64, 1.5))

EsBridge

Ruby:

# Display message in all Essentials versions
EsBridge.message("Message here")
# Returns frame delta. Works with or without MKXP-Z
EsBridge.delta
# Returns item name in all Essentials, and even in base RPG Maker XP (but you should use a number as parameter)
EsBridge.item_name(:POTION)

Misc Util

Ruby:

# Random value from range
(2..5).random
# Access Color rbga like an Array
some_color[1] = 200
# Lerp between two tones (for mixing). Below example means 80% red and 20% blue
Tone.lerp(Tone.new(255,0,0), Tone.new(0,0,255), 0.8)
# Format Time from seconds. This code will returns "01:01:40"
FLUtil.format_time_from_seconds(3700)
# Returns all player pokémon (including party, boxes and Day Care)
FLUtil.all_player_pokemon
# Change all deoxys forms in party to +1. Go to 0 after last
FLUtil.swap_species_form(:DEOXYS)
# Returns if the item is in the bag, pc or hold in any pokémon
FLUtil.has_item_at_bag_or_pc_or_hold?(:POTION)
