LAWS Menu Music
Version 2.0

10/11/09


Introduction

I already had this script over at RRR but I decided to bring it here as well. I saw a script like this before for vx by Sojabird and since I noticed that a lot of people seemed to like it, I made one for xp. Basically what it does is play a different music then the map music when you enter the menu. Hope you guys like it


Features

- Plays music in menu

- Plug n’ Play

- Can choose if you would like the BGM to be just the Map BGM except faded out a little (In Version 2.0)

Special Thanks

Special Thanks to Sojabird and his script for giving me the idea to do this script.

Thanks to Night Runner for Bug fixes as well as Redd for suggesting the idea on the faded Map BGM

Simple little script, but quite useful! I like it. Ain't much to comment on, which is a good thing. Normally I would say, make a method for restoring BGM (upon reentering Scene_Map) since you wrote the same lines twice for Scene_Menu and Scene_Item, but it's so small it doesn't really matter.

Yea I could do that to improve readibility or something and to eliminate more than one instance of a block of code, but like you said it's so small it wouldn't really make much of a difference. Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you find it useful!
