Continuous BGM

[Kyoru]

Consider the following situation:

Event before battle > Battle > Event after battle

Is there a possible way to make it so that the BGM initiated during "event before battle" to continue into "battle", and proceed even after the battle ends?

I tried setting the battle BGM to "None", but that doesnt seem to work. The BGM simply stops.

I also tried setting the battle BGM to be the same as the initiated BGM, but the music simply starts over as soon as the battle commences.

I'm hoping that there is a way to do this without having to rely on scripts.

Actually, I don't think that you can do this without scripting. You don't need a custom script or anything, but you do need to be able to make minor mods with them. Here is a quote from another thread in RGSS support located here.

There's two ways:

In Scene_Map look for the method "def call_battle"
and delete these lines:

$game_system.bgm_stop

and


   

$game_system.bgm_play($game_system.battle_bgm)

Whit this method you wont be able to set different musics (E.G: boss battles), but it's easier to manage.

Or you can simply delete only the line:

   

$game_system.bgm_stop

and leave the

   

$game_system.bgm_play($game_system.battle_bgm)

with this method, you must set the battle music to a music equal the map music in *all maps* via events. But you can set different battle musics always you want.

@Ranashii
You must at last delete the line

   

$game_system.bgm_stop

in call_battle
or the music will restart when the battle begins.

Basically, to make it continuous, you have to follow the first step. That would be easiest. Just go into the script editor into Scene_Map and hit ctrl-f and search for those lines of code (copy, paste from here).

Hope this helps!

I asked the same question awhile back (the link in gamefreak's post). Just do what it says to do first, don't do the "or..." since it won't work right because the original music playing won't stop and a new theme would be playing at the same time.

Kool, this is awesome.

I tried the second one, and it works just fine. What do you mean by the "music playing wont stop"?

 

[Akirau]

Sorry, I meant the map music will stop playing. Make a new map, give it a random encounter and an auto-playing BGM. Then walk around and get into a battle. The battle music will be different and once you get out of the battle the original map BGM won't play.

 

[Kyoru]

It doesnt seem to happen to me. I guess it's because I don't use the random encounter feature. It works fine if you initiate the battle through eventing.

Ah, then my bad.  :tongue2:
