Instructions
Instructions are in the script. Pretty much set the game variable ID and set battle themes based on the value of the variable ID.

FAQ
Awaiting question.

Compatibility
XP: I'm not sure if it's SDK compatible. It aliases Spriteset_Battle's initialize method.
VX: It aliases Scene_Map's call_battle method.

Credits and Thanks
If it weren't for JoeYoung's original "Individual Troop Themes" request, I wouldn't have worked on this script.
Lowell helping me out in terms of explaining this.

Author's Notes
After working on Individual Troop Themes, I wanted to work on this script. I was pretty bored so yeah.
