Music question

[lonelyVoxel]

Is it possible for one track to play for an entire chapter? For example, if I set "Winds Across the Plains" as the music for all battles and both phases, would it play without pausing as does the song in the final chapter of Awakening?

No, if you set it up the way you describe it, the song would restart at the start of each battle

i can almost do that but i can't figure out how to make it not restart every time a battle begins

[Crimson Red]

Instead of "not restarting", perhaps it'd be easier to find where it loads the song and not have it load a song at all, thus continuing the play? :P

Do something similar/remove the part where it calls back the other song that's temporarily being stored or w/e after the battle.

Only for animated battles, of course.

Also, keep in mind shops would almost definitely screw with this. And it'd almost definitely take ASM. :(

there's a bit somewhere that you can get rid of that makes it not reload the original map's song

although now that i think about it you might be onto something

[Lamia]

I think the 'priority' setting for a track can be set to where it doesn't cause a fade-out when a battle starts so that could be somewhere to start (though I dunno much gbafe stuff so can't be sure)

I dunno if that actually works though

you can mess with it but it doesn't fix the root issue, that it resets the song every time a battle starts

[lonelyVoxel]

So basically I would have to make the battle transition not cut the music and keep going, making the battle music absolutely nothing.

yea good luck with that
