Battle Retry Script Problem, Game Over ME problem with sandgolem's script Options

[VeluCherry]

Hello,

I am using a Battle Retry Script in my current project and it really comes in handy during boss fights. What it does is giving you a new option on the Game Over Screen that lets you immediately retry the battle again without having to go back to your last save point (no need seeing long cutscenes over and over again anymore).

All of this basically works, but there's a rather small problem that is REALLY bothering me: If you choose "Retry" on the Game Over Screen and it takes you right back to the start of the battle, the Game Over music still keeps playing until the song's over, only then the Battle BGM kicks in.

How can I modify this script so it force-stops the Game Over ME as soon as you click on "Retry"?

Here's the script

I tried using Woratana's Battle Retry Script before, but there's a sound bug that's even worse: after you choose "retry", there's no music at all!



I am also using this snippet here which force-stops the Game Over ME on "normal" game over screens (where you do not get a retry option) once you go back to the title screen. This one works fine.
Unortunately, I am much too inexperienced with Ruby, so I don't know how to change or implement this in a way so it would also affect the Battle Retry script, nor do I know whether this is actually possible.

[Show/Hide] ForceStop Game Over ME Snippet

CODE

class Scene_Gameover
alias start_me start
def start
$data_system.gameover_me.volume = 100
start_me
@secunde = 0
@daten = [
"Audio/" + "ME" + "/" + $data_system.gameover_me.name,
$data_system.gameover_me.volume,
$data_system.gameover_me.pitch
]
$data_system.gameover_me.volume = 0
Audio.me_play(@daten[0],@daten[1],@daten[2])
end
alias update_me update
def update
update_me
@secunde += 1 if (Graphics.frame_count / (Graphics.frame_rate / 60)) % 60 == 0
if @secunde >= 9
Audio.me_play(@daten[0],@daten[1],@daten[2])
@secunde = 0
end
end
alias terminate_me terminate
def terminate
terminate_me
Audio.me_stop
end
end

I would REALLY appreciate if you could help me with this and of course you'll be mentioned in the credits once this project is finished!

Thanks for your time!

Wasn't too hard. All I did was add RPG::BGS.stop and RPG::ME.stop into it.
Yeah.
Tell me if it works, I edited it my game, and I am using my own modified version of Wora's retry, so...

Yeah, the script seems a bit messy, so thanks for taking a look at it and for the quick reply!
Unfortunately, it's giving me all sorts of errors now, just can't seem to get this to work...

It would be really great if you could share your edited version of Woratana's script - would that be ok for you?

This thing is really driving me nuts - and I definitely need to learn a lot about scripting with Ruby...

[Storm237]

Ohh sure, it is public anyways, somewhere. Uhh, the thing is, there is an added feature, so if you don't like it, tell me, and I will do away with that for you.

#=================================================================
=begin
Checkpoints are areas a player can decide to return to by selecting the
'Return to Last Checkpoint' option in the game over screen. Checkpoints can be handled
by events. You will need to set the variable you chose for "LASTCHECKPOINT_VAR" to the map
ID the player is currently on, "CHECKX" to the current X, "CHECKY" to the current Y.
For example, if you have 'save points' you would set so each time they use the savepoint,
the variable for "LASTCHECKPOINT_VAR" to the current MAP ID. Then the variable for
"CHECKX" to the player's current X position, and "CHECKY", to the player's current
Y position. Then next time they "GAME OVER", if they select the "RETURN TO LAST CHECKPOINT"
option, they will be transferred to that save point.

Thanks so much!

I'll make sure to include you in the final credits (the game will be in German though, so...Well, it still counts, haha!)

This is the first time I ever asked for help with my RPGM project, it's so nice to someone willing to help other people out!

Thanks again

Edit: The checkpoint feature is awesome - great work!

Umm, tell me if it gives you any problems, because their might be with the close command window.
It really depends though.

Checkpoint system works fine, but now I've encountered an "undefined method" error when choosing 'battle retry' because of line 120
$game_system.remembered_bgm.play

Hmm... this is odd.

If you could provide more detail, like exactly what it said, that would be nice!
OR
you can just remove that line from the script. It seems to have no correlation with any other parts of the script.

No problem, I'm so glad someone is helping me with this at all

Unfortunately, if I delete this line, the old problem returns where there's no BGM playing during a battle retry

Here's the error that occurs when I leave the line in:

#              ALL ABOUT >>> THE CHECKPOINT SYSTEM
#=================================================================
=begin
Checkpoints are areas a player can decide to return to by selecting the
'Return to Last Checkpoint' option in the game over screen. Checkpoints can be handled
by events. You will need to set the variable you chose for "LASTCHECKPOINT_VAR" to the map
ID the player is currently on, "CHECKX" to the current X, "CHECKY" to the current Y.
For example, if you have 'save points' you would set so each time they use the savepoint,
the variable for "LASTCHECKPOINT_VAR" to the current MAP ID. Then the variable for
"CHECKX" to the player's current X position, and "CHECKY", to the player's current
Y position. Then next time they "GAME OVER", if they select the "RETURN TO LAST CHECKPOINT"
option, they will be transferred to that save point.

Checkpoints are areas a player can decide to return to by selecting the
'Return to Last Checkpoint' option in the game over screen. Checkpoints can be handled
by events. You will need to set the variable you chose for "LASTCHECKPOINT_VAR" to the map
ID the player is currently on, "CHECKX" to the current X, "CHECKY" to the current Y.
For example, if you have 'save points' you would set so each time they use the savepoint,
the variable for "LASTCHECKPOINT_VAR" to the current MAP ID. Then the variable for
"CHECKX" to the player's current X position, and "CHECKY", to the player's current
Y position. Then next time they "GAME OVER", if they select the "RETURN TO LAST CHECKPOINT"
option, they will be transferred to that save point.

So, umm... yeah. If this doesn't work, I don't know if I can help or not, knowing I am a novice. *Waits for a hero/scripter to help*

[VeluCherry]

So, umm... yeah. If this doesn't work, I don't know if I can help or not, knowing I am a novice. *Waits for a hero/scripter to help*

Can't seem to get it to work right now, but I'll keep trying.
I really need to learn more about Ruby and teach myself some scripting skills - like you

Thanks for your help, it really is appreciated! If I get this to work, I'll let you know (or maybe someone else here might help out)!

BIG EDIT:

It works now!

I just changed line 136 into

$game_system.battle_bgm.play

and it works now

Thanks so much again!
