[RMVX] Just a few annoyances..

[xSionx]

I'm just starting to get into full-swing with VX. Which unlike it's past Rpgmaker installments has me at a loss of how a few of it's functions work.

First, for the intro to my game, I wanted to have music play on the map and the same song play during battle and the victory theme during a particular event. I first made the battle theme the same as the map's BGM. But when the battle begins the song restarts, and that's not the seamless streaming of the song I wanted. I then tried to turn battle music off completely as well as the victory theme, and that leaves the battle without any music at all... So I'm kinda hung there on that event.

Also is the displaying of pictures which seems pretty wierd in VX. I don't know what it is, but it seems like setting the picture to Center and having it's Opacity at 0 and then moving it to 255 makes the picture spiral to the left and dissapear without me seeing even when I set the wait time. I'm pretty sure I set the move to Center, it's just annoying...

I thank you for your help in advance.

I'm not that sure about the BGM; in XP, if the map music and the battle music was the same, it wouldn't restart.

But for displaying pictures, note that "Center" doesn't mean the picture is centered in the screen. It means the picture is centered at the coordinates specified rather than its top-left at the coordinates.

Hope that helped.

I am 100% sure, you needed to script this seemless music thing in XP. It is just not possible via events. Don't know what the script was though right now. But it was just one line...

As for the picture: Regimos is totally right. So none of those things are VX's fault. So no more VX hate please.

Oh, you're right, there was a script for it. I'm not sure if anyone's made an equivalent for VX, but you can try requesting one in Script Requests.

1) Find and replace line 203 in the Scene_Map script with

RPG::BGM.stop unless $data_system.battle_bgm.name == $game_temp.map_bgm.name

2) Make sure you have both the Show Picture and the Move Picture events set to the same 'Origin' (Upper Left or Center on both). It is exactly the same as RMXP.
