How to change battle music based on Player Character

[MC50]

Hey.

I know this should be possible, and hopefully easy, but is it possible to have multiple defined Wild Battle BGMs and Trainer Battle BGMs, and have the appropriate one play depending on your character?

For example, if you are the male character, the battle music is one song, but if you are the female character, it is another song?

Failing that, even a way to change it right away in battle would work - I could just have the default song be empty.

Thanks a lot!

In the MetaData for maps you can change the Wild BGM theme.
And when editing trainer Classes you can set certain music. So two different rival themes for two rivals.

Untested. Change the 'def pbGetWildBattleBGM(species)' to

def pbGetWildBattleBGM(species)
  if $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM
    return $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM.clone
  end
  playertrainer=pbGetPlayerTrainerType
  music = case playertrainer
    when 0 then "RBY_-_Wild" # First male trainer
    when 1 then "RSE_-_Wild" # First female trainer
    when 2 then "DPP_-_Wild"
  end
  ret=nil
  ret=pbStringToAudioFile(music) if music && music!=""
  ret=pbStringToAudioFile("002-Battle02") if !ret
  return ret
end

Thanks a lot. The script works fine.

I managed to edit it to work for trainer battles as well, but it plays for Gym Leaders and other trainers with special music, overriding their songs.

SO

- I figured, I would turn a switch on. And if that switch is on, then the script would not run.

...I messed around for a while, but couldn't figure out how to do that. It shouldn't be too hard, I think?

I've spent a lot of time on RPG Maker 2000 so I understand RPG maker, but not the scripting.

Thanks a lot again

Undo your changes in trainers battles musics and try changing the both:

# Check global metadata
music=pbGetMetadata(0,MetadataTrainerBattleBGM)
if music && music!=""
  ret=pbStringToAudioFile(music)
end

in PokemonUtilities to 'ret=pbGetWildBattleBGM(0)'
