The RPG Maker Resource Kit

---

Summary
What I basically want it to do is when you enter a map with a BGM it will play (as normal), but when you encounter an enemy, the BGM mutes but keeps playing while you fight, and when the encounter is over, the BGM is unmuted and it continues playing from where ever it left off.
Features Desired

• Editable for BGMs and possibly BGSs
• Doesn't require setup for every map. (would take for ever with what Im doing)

Did you search?
Of course! What am I, a newb... don't answer that.

Where did you search?

• Google.com
• RMRK.net
• hbgames.org
• Just about every other fansite with scripts

What did you search for?

• BGM... believe me, long lists.

Thanks in advance!

Back when I still used RPG Maker, this was something I had requested, and Blizzard told me it wasn't possible. =o

LIES!!! Oh come on. It's not like his word is law... though he nows alot more than I do about scripting.

Maybe if someone could attempt it. Please!

Well, I actually have this script that allows the BGM to continue as the battle BGM

[/spoiler]

which allows multiple BGMs for maps and battles, maybe it could work.

Thanks!

Lol, someone wrote a script for Map BGM going into battle instead of just setting Battle BGM to none :P

Anyway, it is possible with BEHEMOTH's SAudio module probably. I will take a look at this later.

thanx, I'll be waiting. Update me if you find out anything

Hey Algebra, just wondering if you found out anything about that module.
