Menu Music

[Hikari_Jake]

Hey guys, I am very new to RPG Maker and I was just wondering if it was possible to have menu music that plays on the menu and keeps on playing during the Items/Skills/Status/etc. menus but then returns to the BGM theme once you completely exit out of the menu? If that makes sense >.<
 
Here's a script I found by a guy on the internet named Soulpour777, which is almost what I want, but the music doesn't play throughout the items screen and what not, and when I did modify it to play on all screens, the menu music kept resetting :/ (for example, the song would be playing on the menu screen, then when you select Status, the song would reset)

But yeah, here's the script:

module Soulpour
module Menu_BGM
PLAY_NEW_BGM = true #play different music on menu?
def self.play_menubgm
RPG::BGM.new("music", 100, 100).play #BGM Name, Volume, Pitch
end
end

end

class Scene_Menu < Scene_MenuBase
alias :menu_bgm_play_start :start
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Start Processing

def start
menu_bgm_play_start
return if !Soulpour::Menu_BGM:LAY_NEW_BGM
Soulpour::Menu_BGM.play_menubgm

end

#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# * Termination Processing
#--------------------------------------------------------------------------
def terminate
super
dispose_background
return if !Soulpour::Menu_BGM:LAY_NEW_BGM
$game_map.autoplay

end

end

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Thank you!! I'm not home right now but I'll try it as soon as I get home and let you know how it works :3

EDIT: There is one thing I want to make sure, though: does the menu music continue to play while in the Item/Status/Skills/etc menus?

 

[Sixth]

Yes, it should still play the menu BGM even on the other menu scenes.

Just got home and tried it.

It works beautifully~ Thank you so much!

If I ever do finish my game or release it to the public, I will definitely credit you!

EDIT: Actually, and sorry to bother you again, but there's still one small problem: whenever I pause inside of a building, when I cancel out of the pause menu the Menu BGM keeps on playing. Any ideas?

EDIT AGAIN: Never mind! I set the MapReplay to "true" and it works now. Once again, thanks a lot! ^^

OOOH... I see why that happened. It's whenever I use a consumable item. When I use the item, the game exits the menu and goes back to the map, and the Menu BGM keeps on playing. Any way to fix this?? x3

 

[Hikari_Jake]

Bump!

 

[Sixth]

Whoopsy, I forgot that 'goto' method...


The script is updated above, it should change back to the map BGM after item/skill with common event usage now.

Hi Sixth.. i like to try your Script but i ended up confusing myself try to paste the raw code above


can you make it a file like Github, so it is clear what line the code does.. Thank you   

 

[Sixth]

Yeah, the forum update broke these old codes. >.>


I fixed the script here and also uploaded it onto my pastebin ( http://pastebin.com/GnupjwSw ).
