Custom BGM for Specific Pokemon

[Trick Tester]

Hey guys,

I've been racking my brain for ages and I just can't figure out where I'm going wrong.

In the PField_Battles script, I've been trying to set a specific Pokemon to have a different battle BGM, upon research I found this:

In PokemonField script section, about at line 1000, in def pbWildBattle, when the script say "$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=nil", you can make a little variation by replacing it with (RAYQUAZA is a little example):

if(species==PBSpecies::RAYQUAZA) then
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=("Audio/BGM/YourTheme")
else
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=nil
end

but even following it exactly to the T, writing it out exactly etc just doesn't seem to change anything.

My code is:

pbSet(variable,1)
    if(species==PBSpecies::MEWZARD) then
      $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=("Battle Totem Pokemon")
    else
      $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM  = nil
      end
    $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleME   = nil
    $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBack = nil
    return true
  end

So overall I'm not sure if I'm missing something super obvious or it just isn't working for some reason. All the Pokemon and the Music names are properly defined where they should be, so it can't be that. If anyone is able to offer my some help or point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated :D

pbSet(variable,1)
    if(species==PBSpecies::MEWZARD) then
      $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=("Battle Totem Pokemon")
    else
      $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM  = nil
      end
    $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleME   = nil
    $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBack = nil
    return true
  end

I think your issue lies in this line

      $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=("Battle Totem Pokemon")

RMXP / RGSS sometimes has issues recognizing file names with spaces. So it's better to name it like "Battle-Totem-Pokemon"
Another thing might be that you might need to set the file path just like in the example you showed.

Hey, I tried to set the file path, changing the name to both Battle-Totem-Pokemon and BattleTotemPokemon but it still only plays the normal battle theme :/

So where is the code located at?
Like what script section and what comes before and what comes after it

 

[Trick Tester]

It's located here in the script section:

after it is PField_Encounters

The whole code for that section is

#===============================================================================
# Start a single wild battle
#===============================================================================
def pbWildBattle(species,level,variable=nil,canescape=true,canlose=false)
  if (Input.press?(Input::CTRL) && $DEBUG) || $Trainer.pokemonCount==0
    if $Trainer.pokemonCount>0
      Kernel.pbMessage(_INTL("SKIPPING BATTLE..."))
    end
    pbSet(variable,1)
    if(species==PBSpecies::MEWZARD) then
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=("Battle-Totem-Pokemon")
else
$PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBGM=nil
end
    $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleME   = nil
    $PokemonGlobal.nextBattleBack = nil
    return true
  end
  if species.is_a?(String) || species.is_a?(Symbol)
    species = getID(PBSpecies,species)
  end
  handled = [nil]
  Events.onWildBattleOverride.trigger(nil,species,level,handled)
  return handled[0] if handled[0]!=nil
  currentlevels = []
  for i in $Trainer.party
    currentlevels.push(i.level)
  end
  genwildpoke = pbGenerateWildPokemon(species,level)
  Events.onStartBattle.trigger(nil,genwildpoke)
  scene = pbNewBattleScene
  battle = PokeBattle_Battle.new(scene,$Trainer.party,[genwildpoke],$Trainer,nil)
  battle.internalbattle = true
  battle.cantescape     = !canescape
  pbPrepareBattle(battle)
  decision = 0
  pbBattleAnimation(pbGetWildBattleBGM(species),0,[genwildpoke]) {
    pbSceneStandby {
      decision = battle.pbStartBattle(canlose)
    }
    pbAfterBattle(decision,canlose)
  }
  Input.update
  pbSet(variable,decision)
  Events.onWildBattleEnd.trigger(nil,species,level,decision)
  return (decision!=2)
end
