[RESOLVED] Field music to resume after battle

[Reno-s--Joker]

The title is pretty self explanatory but I was wondering if it was possible to have the field music resume from where it was before battle after the battle has ended.

This is what happens now:
1) On map (halfway through song)
2) Random encounter! (battle music begins, victory music plays)
3) Battle scene ends and you return to map, at the beginning of the song again. 

I want 3) to be this:
3) Battle scene ends and you return to map, halfway through the song like before. 

I've tried looking in the help file, but only found play and stop, no pause or 'remember' or something. I looked at Google and only found queries about music from battle continuing on map (not what I want).

Thanks in advance, and I really hope this is achievable.

Blizz posted something about this here: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?topic=19.0

However, I know I have something like that buried on my compy. Lemme just dig it up here...

Here we go. It's a Japanese script (of course) with a dll file that needs to be there. Here is the project download for you. I hope that this is what you wanted.

I love you shdw. <333

I'll check it out, but it looks promising. ^-^
Thank you so much!

Who needs to be credited? I might use this in CP as well.

This was a feature I was interested in long ago.

Way before I was even aware of Chaos Project!! I never did find out how this was accomplished, but it seems as though daylight has been brought forth.

And I just realized I fail at listing the author of the script on my computer. >.<

I think it's marked in the dll file's Details (under Properties). Unfortunately, Server 2008 doesn't have support for Chinese, so I can't read it. It would be listed on the website www.66rpg.com (mentioned in the dll's details as well), but that site is temporarily down for some reason, apparently.

Bottom Line: my guess is it would be credited to someone called SNSER, but better to wait until the site comes back to confirm that. Sorry about that. -_-

I just tested it out and it's exactly what I wanted. <3 Just need to fix a few things and it's perfect.
Thank you so much again shdw!

o.o; It works? I'll be sure to use it in CP then. <3

[Reno-s--Joker]

Yep, although my only qualm would be that it works so well, the song resumes right after the battle music, almost blending in with the map music. And the code is kinda rigid (not much aliasing going on... D:) and uncommented.

But hey I'm being picky, and I'm sure it can be easily changed. ^-^

I won't have that problem as I can script a start delay for the map music. xD

[Reno-s--Joker]

Yay! I look forward to you putting it in CP!

[Reno-s--Joker]

If anyone's interested...

I just realised that it doesn't work for mp3 files (at least not for me). I did some hardcore snooping and came up with this:
Script which uses FMOD Ex dll instead.
It doesn't seem to work as smoothly with the pause/resume functions, but it boasts support for a lot of file types.

Already archived that one, seems promising, doesn't it?

[Reno-s--Joker]

Yes, definitely - I've already managed to make it sorta compatible with a music looping control script.... powerful combination.... >=)
