Introduction This little snippet can give your project a more personal touch. Choose a BGM (or more) that you want to play in the menu and you're done.
Features v1.0
Choose wich BGM to play in the menu;
Decide the pitch and volume.
v1.1
Play a random song from your playlist (each with it's own volume and pitch)
v1.2
Fixed a bug where the vehicle BGM didn't play when exeting the menu when the player was in a vehicle.
v1.2.2
Fixed the bugfix wich didn't seem to work in the previous version;
Rewrote the activation of the map-music so it'll trigger properly from any given point when returning to the map.
Customization Find the modification-module, and make sure you'll make the script as suitable for you as you can. If options you want to add, are missing, just contact me via the topic or pm.
Compatibility VX only.
Installation Put the script above main. Customise the script to your needs. Credit me pls.
FAQ
[Show/Hide] My custom music won't play through the script. What must I do?
Make sure your custom music has the same name as the one you put in the script. Also, try to rename the music so that they don't contain any characters wich may corrupt the script. Think of these: " ' ( ).
Terms and Conditions Credit me with site, and the script is free for use in NONCOMERCIAL projects. If anyone want some changes, please pm me or post it here, I'll track the topic.
For the past couple of months I've been learning RGSS and I've got the basic stuff down such windows, variables, conditional statements, ect. But, I can't see myself making big scripts such as a jumping system or a side view battle system. I was wondering how you learned to script because I really want to know how to script really well.
Thanks in advance.
Hey there,
Well I don't make battle neither though I can still teach you some things :)... The way I've learned to script is by reading other scripts for the most part. I've allways been interested in other peoples work but this time I though I had to try to make something myself...and it worked!! The most importand thing when you go scripting is (at least in my case) that you want to make something to help an other wich can't script. You also need to feel the competition that's around in the scripting-community. Cause, I have to say, if you get pushed to get a sertain request done before an other scripter does, you feel POWERFULL!! :P So that's an other thing... You also don't need to be afraid to learn from others or helpfiles. When I write my scripts, I actualy always have the helpfiles open to look things up I don't know or remember. Then, you must be calm, cause you need to try the script a lot of times. When I write a script, I test it after almost every changes. First I set up the major structure. Like when I make a window-script or part of a script I start with something like this:
CODE
class Window_Name < Window_Base def initialize(x,y,width,height) super(x,y,width,height) refresh end
def refresh self.contents.clear draw_contents end
def draw_contents draw_something(with, some, parameters) end
def update refresh if @something != @what_it_should_be end end
So that's also very important. Then, the biggest thing I learned scripting from is TRIAL AND ERROR. That's the most irritating way to learn something, cause it's more ERROR than TRIAL, but it does the trick realy good.
So that's it how I did it. Now it's up to you. Do some requests (if I didn't do it allready :P) and learn from them.
Hope that helped you out a little. If not, keep your eye on the Scriptology-topic (see my sig) where I'll be updating for my scripting(video)tutorials. Perhaps they're going to be usefull for you one day ;)
If you want to suggest a translation for something, PM me, and I'll take a look. I AM TRYING TO GIVE AWAY LOCKERZ.com INVITES, SO PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU WANT ONE. Currently Working on 2 RPG Maker VX Projects. They are very unique, and have a different kind of style then the usual RPGs. So don't think of them as just another RPG. Did that sound rude? :D Not sure if I want them to go public yet, but we'll see how it goes. Need a script translated? Come talk to me, and I'll see what I can do.

Is it possible to select maybe four songs for the menu, and have one of the four randomly play each time you open the window? Basically, what I am requesting is picking songs to use for the menu and a different song will be picked each time you open the menu.

This could perhaps be useful in aiding the old-school feel of my project +_+

Hey SojaBird! I've got a question... is there a way to get RPGMaker VX to play .mp3 files? If not, do you know any good mp3 to ogg converter for free? (I'm just a moneyless game programmer working for Shoot That Rock Productions (when the site's up, I'll put it on my sig) Really good script. Oh, one more question (I'm full of 'em): when I close the menu, does the BGM default for the map start again, or does it pause while the menu's open? Cheers!
