Quieter music (in menu)

[ChopSuey!]

How would i go about toning down the music to about 70% volume when in the menu, then exit and it goes back up to 100?

A simple edit add this in a new script above main

class Scene_Menu
  alias music_main main
  def main
    audio = $game_temp.map_bgm.dup
    audio.volume = 70
    $game_system.bgm_play(audio)
    music_main
    $game_system.bgm_play($game_temp.map_bgm)
  end
end

An type error in line four?

"can't dup NilClass"

 

[ChopSuey!]

I get that error too.

 

[Trickster]

That means there is no music playing use this instead (Sorry I was tired when I typed that up)

class Scene_Menu
  alias music_main main
  def main
    audio = $game_system.bgm_playing.dup
    audio.volume = 70
    $game_system.bgm_play(audio)
    music_main
    $game_system.bgm_play($game_system.bgm_playing)
  end
end

I'm testing this on a map that has background music playing...

 

[Trickster]

oops typo it should be playing_bgm instead of bgm_playing

 

[Trickster]

Oops stupid computer

 

[ChopSuey!]

Cool, it all works now, but it doesnt go back up to 100% when you leave.

 

[Trickster]

another fix

class Scene_Menu
  alias music_main main
  def main
    $game_temp.map_bgm = $game_system.playing_bgm.dup
    audio = $game_system.playing_bgm.dup
    audio.volume = 70
    $game_system.bgm_play(audio)
    music_main
    $game_system.bgm_play($game_temp.map_bgm)
  end
end

 

[ChopSuey!]

That works perfect, Thanks!

 

[Kest]

Thanks a lot. A small but useful addition.

Here's another fix for this, it would crash the game whenever a map had no music. I think I got it right, anyways...

class Scene_Menu
  alias music_main main
  def main
    if $game_temp.map_bgm != nil
      $game_temp.map_bgm = $game_system.playing_bgm.dup
      audio = $game_system.playing_bgm.dup
      audio.volume = 80
      $game_system.bgm_play(audio)
      music_main
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_temp.map_bgm)
    else
      music_main
    end
  end
end

 

[ChopSuey!]

That doesnt work, It doesnt change anything.

 

[Kest]

Before, the game would crash if you had no music at all in a map.

 

[ChopSuey!]

I mean that doesnt make the music quiet. It stays the same.

Try this:

class Scene_Menu
  alias music_main main
  def main
    if $game_temp.map_bgm != nil
      $game_temp.map_bgm = $game_system.playing_bgm.dup
      audio = $game_system.playing_bgm.dup
      audio.volume = audio.volume - 30
      $game_system.bgm_play(audio)
    end
    music_main
    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_temp.map_bgm)
    end
  end
end
class Scene_Item
  alias music_main main
  def main
    music_main
    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_temp.map_bgm)
    end
  end
end
class Scene_Save
  alias music_main main
  def main
    music_main
    if $scene.is_a?(Scene_Map)
      $game_system.bgm_play($game_temp.map_bgm)
    end
  end
end

Untested, but it should work.

 

[Trickster]

If you're in Scene_Item/Scene_Save the current scene wouldn't be Scene_Map

 

[ChopSuey!]

What trickster gave me works perfect, i dont know why it crashes for you.

Silly Trick-- SephirothSpawn. A scene change chamges the $scene variable, which gets changed BEFORE the transition takes place. This checks if that scene is Scene_Map. If it is, it restores the map BGM.
