Ayayayaya. I'll see what I can do.

On an unrelated note,
what could be useful would be a script which ignores the battle theme and uses the current BGM inside tthe battle.
Such as when a dramatic event is happening (let's say, a building on fire)
then it would be very annoying if the music is suddenly cut off by a generic battle theme.

That's easy to do with events!

Would it be seamless and let the background music continue instead of resetting?

[Darvi]

No, because the game explicitly stops the map BGM before calling the battle BGM.

Now all we need is a "Ultimuh gets a hug" music theme.

Probably with violins to emphasise the weight of his heart as it bursts with love.

[Ultimuh]

Agh! No! No huuuugs! D:


Also, I ahve done my research.
This script might do what I suggested?
I am not at home so I havent tested it myself.
But it would be very useful if it works.

[Neonivek]

Psh. Everyone knows that people who say they don't want a hug actually want a hug the most.

[Darvi]

Whoever said that deserves to step on a lego.

[Reudh]

No, because the game explicitly stops the map BGM before calling the battle BGM.

RPG Maker 2003 was seamless. 2000 was seamless. I'm pretty sure VX is seamless too. It's the same as transitioning between maps, the music continues if it's the same music, not stopping.

 def call_battle
    @spriteset.update
    Graphics.update
    $game_player.make_encounter_count
    $game_player.straighten
    $game_temp.map_bgm = RPG::BGM.last
    $game_temp.map_bgs = RPG::BGS.last
    RPG::BGM.stop
    RPG::BGS.stop
    Sound.play_battle_start
    $game_system.battle_bgm.play
    $game_temp.next_scene = nil
    $scene = Scene_Battle.new
  end

While it might be seamless, the BGM would suddenly jump back to the beginning.

[Ultimuh]

Well, I cannot test it at the moment because i am currently at work.

[Reudh]

*sigh*

VX is not seamless.

WHY DO YOU FORSAKE ME VX

Honestly I don't understand the company that makes these games.

You would think that each sequel would have the content of the previous version as well as new additions.

Yet that isn't true. It is sort of a worse then stagnent series of RPGmakers that is only held up by their modding community.

I wish they wrote in back-compatibility for the files, even if broken (since the map shape often differs between versions). I abandoned an ambitious project because it was in XP, and I moved to VX.

Oddly enough I did that too... but mine was because I hated the resources in VX (as while they look nicer they are much more limited) and had trouble getting the whole XP resources for VX.
