Memorizing BGM FO' REALS!

[SPN]

I've done some digging, and haven't had any luck yet, but if this has been done before, please let me know

I'm looking for, hm, I guess just a little mod that would allow the Memorize BGM/BGS and Restore BGM/BGS event commands to actually work like a pause/play, instead of how it works now (remembering what was playing, then restarting it from the first when you restore it). I plan on music being a huge atmosphere setter, and will have a few lengthier songs in certain parts of the game where battles can take place.

So, is there a mod out there that enables you to actually memorize WHERE in a BGM you are, then resume it from there? I'd like the music to resume like this after battles instead of restarting every time.

The help is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

I think you have to use a rewrite of the audio class. I dunno if anyone ever did this but it's been requested a lot so searching might bring something up.

Ah, beautiful. Thanks a bunch guys! The speedy replies are quite comforting.

Sorry for the double post, but I've encountered a strange issue after adding this script...

Whenever I test play any of the BGM tracks in the editor, they sound fine, but when they are actually played in-game, or in a test battle, it sounds almost like the tracks are different. They seem to lose that reverb and slight echo that gave them presence when played in game. I would play a BGM in the editor, then jump into a test battle, and it would sound worse.

Is this just an inherent bug with the script? Sorry, I'm probably just grabbing at straws now, but I don't think I can continue using this if it's going to mess up the audio.

Is it just "Battle Test", or does it sound worse in "Test Play" & playing the Game.exe directly too?

The FMOD is an *NEW* audio library, it process the sound in a different way than RMXP, so some midis might sound different.
Also it don't consider any loop of midis, you have to set them manually.

But in part it's good, some midis sound different on differents PC depending on the audio card. The FMOD makes it sound the same anywhere.

Thanks Atoa, I didn't realize FMOD had a built-in synthesizer for midis.

So, to overcome SPN's 'problem', he would need to play his midi files through his own synthesizer, then record them to a sound-wave based format (Wav, Mp3, Ogg...), and replace the midi files in his game with those.
