    Hello PokéCommunity, I've googled so much but to no avail, I can't find a tutorial on how to add a Volume Controller in the options menu. I am using RPG Maker and Pokémon Essentials. It started out as my friends asking for one in my Pokémon game. Any help with this problem would be appreciated, thank you.
     
    I've looked at that script, but it isn't just easy for me to look at a script and reference it. How would I go about making the GUI in the options menu?
     
    Have a look at how the existing Options menu options work, and learn. You won't succeed in your endeavours if you don't try to do anything yourself. It won't be easy, but it's possible, so don't give up.
     
    Thanks for the advice Maruno. I'll work for it, and once I figure it out, I'll post a tutorial and make it public so no one else has the same problem I'm having.
     
    While I agree that you should take the time to study that script and figure it out—it's always very rewarding when coding issues and new scripts finally fall into place!—I just thought I'd mention that while you're working on this, if your friends are really hurting for volume control and are playing your game on a relatively recent version of Windows, they can use the detailed volume mixer in their taskbar/system tray to adjust your game's volume or the volume of anything else that might be playing sound on their PC.

    Definitely do share if you figure this out—I'm sure there are several others who would find it convenient to have this directly built into their games as well.
     
    I definitely will, Delusions! If I get this working, I will be very happy!

    EDIT: I actually have the volume controller working somewhat. It changes the volume, but doesn't keep the volume changed upon map change. Bugs to be fixed!

    I got the controller working for the music, but it isn't working for the sound effects and I don't know why. Some help would be appreciated.

    No errors come up. Everything (I think) that I've edited, has a "#VOLUME" next to it.
