[VX] [Request] - random battle music

[Chalgyr]

Okay, this shouldn't be -too- hard I hope; I had written up a tiny modification back in RMXP about two years ago to allow a random song to be chosen (Battle1, Battle2, Battle3 and Battle4) just to add a bit of variety to the combat.  Trying to recall how to define that again for RMVX, and I'm just NOT quite getting a handle on the finding of content nested into the game's folders and could use a quick script.  Looks like it's defined in Game_System but from there I've tried about 15 different things and just keep getting syntax errors.  Muchly appreciated.

Something like...

class Game_System
  def battle_bgm
    if @battle_bgm == nil
      #return $data_system.battle_bgm
      rand_bgm = rand(3) + 1
      bgm_name = "battle" + rand_bgm.to_s
      bgm = RPG::BGM.new(bgm_name)
      return bgm
    else
      return @battle_bgm
    end
  end
end

You can paste that as a new script above main, or just use the battle_bgm method in your Game_System class...

Since it still checks to see if @battle_bgm == nil, you can force your own specific battle music
with the "Change Battle BGM" event command. Or, set the Battle BGM to 'none' to use a random
BGM.

Be Well

Awesome - that works like a champ - thanks for that!  I do appreciate it.

I tried to find the original location of the script but it wasn't anywhere here http://www.rpgvx.de.ms/ .

You use $game_map.rbm = false/true to turn it off or on - off plays the currently set battle music. (Defined in the database or changed by the event command.)

Ofcourse if this was created exclusively for Magivolve I'll edit this post. (As far as I can see it doesn't look exclusive.)
