Music to continue playing while entering battle

[Yami Sasha]

This request is to enable a way to keep the BGM to play while going into battle and continue to play.

Basically an example can of how your character goes into an important conversation in the game, and suddenly a battle is about to begin, and for this battle the BGM that was playing before it began, to continue playing without restarting throughout the battle and still continue as exit the battle.

Heres a video of FF5 doing such a thing:

Basically one just like it was shown in battle.

Thank you.

Find the method call_battle in Scene_Map, delete it, and replace it with this:
(28 is the switch number I used, but it can be changed to anything, just turn that switch on and no battle music will start)

  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  # * Battle Call
  #--------------------------------------------------------------------------
  def call_battle
    # Clear battle calling flag
    $game_temp.battle_calling = false
    # Clear menu calling flag
    $game_temp.menu_calling = false
    $game_temp.menu_beep = false
    # Make encounter count
    $game_player.make_encounter_count
    # Memorize map BGM and stop BGM
    if $game_switches[28] == true
      $game_temp.map_bgm = $game_system.playing_bgm
      $game_system.bgm_stop
      # Play battle start SE
      $game_system.se_play($data_system.battle_start_se)
      # Play battle BGM
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_system.battle_bgm)
    end
    # Straighten player position
    $game_player.straighten
    # Switch to battle screen
    $scene = Scene_Battle.new
  end

Tell me if you find any problems with it

Okay I pasted it on there.

I'm kinda not sure how to work it though, like how turn switch 28 on.

I'm kinda new at this sorry, but can you give me a step by step on how to activate it.

 

[The_Falcon]

Well, you turn switch 28 (or any number switch you want, you can change the number) on, and then you play the music on the map. It should then loop if you go in to battle.

 

[Yami Sasha]

Well I switched 28 on, and then I played the music. I went into battle, and still nothing.

I'm not too sure if i'm doing something wrong or not, i'll post screenshots if this proceeds.

One question though, am I to turn on 28 on the map or if it else where?

 

[The_Falcon]

Turn the switch on before you enter the battle, otherwise the default battle music should take over.

Tomorrow I'll make a quick demo if you still can't get it working
