Getting music to carry on from field through to battle...

[Ayvuir]

...without restarting.

I remembered a script i used to use for my XP game, by Sandgolem, in where one simple switch being turned on or off allowed you to let the BGM carry on in to a Battle Process.

I tried using the samne script for VX but it just comes up with errors.

Is there an updated version of the script at all?? Or any other simple way to do what i'm asking??

Many thanks in advance.

You can try this although it was coded on XP it might work in VX, I'm unfamiliar with VX's differences in coding. It takes in certain conditions, like...

If there is no BGM assigned to battle, it'll play map BGM
If the same BGM is playing for battle and map, it won't stop then restart it just continues playing
If the switch assigned is on, it'll carry over map BGM to battle reguardless

gamebaker's scripts page is back up, I think. You should check there for the VX version.
