Mr.Mo Add-on: On-Map Battle Music
Version: 1.2

Spoiler: Version details

1.0 - Works for Mr.Mo's ABS
1.1 - Fixed bug (initialize method added)
1.2 - Works with Near's SBABS

Introduction

This is probably without a doubt not the best script in the world, I made it for my game and... well, it's probably not the best way of doing this. But I thought I should share it as others might find it useful. It's dead simple so no credit is required unless you want to.

Made for Mr.Mo's SBABS, but it might work with his ABS too, I dunno if the method names are the same.

Script

Spoiler: Mr.Mo's ABS

class MrMo_ABS
alias wy_mbm_ea update_enemy_attack
  def update_enemy_attack(e, actor)
    wy_mbm_ea(e, actor)
    $bm_counter = 40
  end
end

class Scene_Map
alias wy_mbm_update update
alias wy_mbm_init initialize
  def initialize
    $bm_counter = 0
    wy_mbm_init
  end
  def update
    if $bm_counter == 0
      $game_map.autoplay
    else
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_system.battle_bgm)
    end
    $bm_counter -= 1 unless $bm_counter == 0
    wy_mbm_update
  end
end

Spoiler: Near's SBABS

class Action_Battle_System
alias wy_mbm_ea enemy_attack
  def enemy_attack(enemy)
    wy_mbm_ea(enemy)
    $bm_counter = 40
  end
end

class Scene_Map
alias wy_mbm_update update
alias wy_mbm_init initialize
  def initialize
    $bm_counter = 0
    wy_mbm_init
  end
  def update
    if $bm_counter == 0
      $game_map.autoplay
    else
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_system.battle_bgm)
    end
    $bm_counter -= 1 unless $bm_counter == 0
    wy_mbm_update
  end
end

Instructions
Above main but below Mr.Mo's SBABS.

FAQ

What does it do?
When the enemy attacks you, battle music starts playing (whether it's a miss or not). If the enemy doesn't attack you for 40 frames, the music stops playing. Simple as that. It just adds a little bit of extraness so on-map battles feel like... battles.

Where do I edit to set the map or battle music?
It uses the map's default music and the battle music from the editor.

Compatibility

I aliased, so it should be compatible with most things though I'm not sure entirely.

Only compatible with Mr.Mo's SBABS and possibly his ABS and ABS-lite.

Credits and Thanks

Don't bother creditting me please, unless you really want to. Free or commercial (but check with the terms in Mr.Mo's ABS for his terms).

Thanks to Mr.Mo for making the battle system(s), and thanks to Tibuda for helping me a bit.

Author's Notes

Yes, I know it's a really short script. But a script is still a script.

This sounds pretty nice, but I could only use it if it weren't for Mr. Mo's ABS. Good job, though

 

[Ellie]

I can probably make this work with other ABS's, it's just a simple case of changing the lines that say:

class MrMo_ABS

And all the bits that say

update_enemy_attack.

 

[Hero]

Cool, so this is like in Zelda OoT where a tension music plays when an enemy is near you. I might consider using this if I ever make an ABS game.

 

[New2Ya]

Yeah like Kingdom Hearts, right?

 

[006]

Awesome is there anyway this can work with Nears_SBABS?

 

[Ellie]

If you post the script or a link to the script I'll try and make it work with it.

 

[JesseG88]

Can you make it so that the battle music plays if you attack the enemy as well?

 

[Ellie]

I can't with Mr.Mo's unfortunately. I tried this, and all it does is play the battle music every time you press the attack button, rather than when you're just attacking the enemy. (Because the ABS counts every attack-button-press as an attack for some reason). It probably is possible somehow, but I couldn't work it out.

Done, added to the main post.

That should work, I'm unsure though as I can't test sound at the moment (it's 11 PM here and there's other peeps in the house).

Also fixed a small bug stopping it working.

 

[006]

Cool, but theres one bug when the music starts it doesn't stop but you don't have to do it tonight!

 

[microlipse]

Have to put this up
Can you edit the script so that it can continue playing the bgm after accessing the menu? Ev

Venetia: Don't necropost, please. If you have a question about an old script, post the question in RGSS Support. Thanks.
