FEATURES
This script allows the player to bring up a list of music to play. This can be added as a menu option or called via an event call.
You can choose to add all files from a folder to this list or allow the player to collect music during the game by adding new songs with script calls in events.
The player can now set vehicle bgm and battle bgm to a song that they have learned and change it any time they wish.
Use a script call to return the battle bgm to the player’s choice after a boss fight changed it.

It could use a stop button y’know.
Y’know it could. I added one for you.
This is a nice script. I do have a question though. I there a way to have it go back to the default BGM when the player stops their music?
I could add the ability to play the current map’s “Auto-Change BGM” setting when they stop a track, if that will do what you wanted?
Yeah. That would be awesome :)
Updated it now. This is one of my earlier scripts, I’m surprised anyone likes it :P
Thank you so much! I will try it out now.
I love music, so I’m incorporating an optional music hunt into my game. This script is perfect for what I want. I appreciate you creating it :)
I’m getting Undefinied Method “count” error in 289. line, what should I do ;_;
You should make sure you put the script below Materials and above main. And start a new game when testing (do not load a save file that was made before adding the script).
Hi! Back again! Love your scripts and I really want and have been using this one. So I was once again looking at the instructions and got confused again. So my main question is if there can be a way to create and event or conditional event that would only run when a certain song is played? I thought I understood it, but I am now confused. I will fiddle around while I’m waiting for a response. Thanks for any help! Oh, and I haven’t bothered to check, but can you change the background for the music player? Or any other borders and stuff?
This script is pretty old – it doesn’t have any fancy background/border changing options and it only adds songs to the list via script calls or it can get them all from your audio folder. One day I might re-write it better to have more options like that (but not soon, I’m afraid)
How exactly do you add song? i used the script call but nothing happened…
Please read the instructions and examine the demo. Everything I could tell you is there.
Yeah sorry I was very confused back then..
Bummer…I really want to influenced my game through music. Cool idea though! I guess I’ll try to search abroad for anything similar. Keep up the great work though! I’m enjoying plenty of your scripts as upgrades for my game and as resources to study Ruby upon.
Sorry, but I am trying to figure out what the whole “know_music?” script is suppose to do. How do you properly utilize it and use it (the whole true and false stuff)? Thanks!
Use it in a conditional branch, in the ‘script’ field. eg if you put:
know_music?(“Town1”)
Then in your conditional branch, if you know Town1 track, it will activate that branch, if you don’t it will activate the ‘else’ part of that branch if there is one.
I just understood that! xD Is there a way in the script so that instead of music I know, it’s music that is currently playing? It’s so close to what I need (or at least part of it).
Sorry, I don’t know how to get what music is currently playing
Bummer…there’s no way within your own script to hold a variable when you chose your own song manually, then create a function within the same script that would make the situation true which could then be intergrated as a script that you call upon a conditional branch? Sorry, I’m not too familar with most of Ruby coding or any other lanuage in genral xD
That sounds entirely possible, sure – but I am sorry I just don’t have time to tweak my scripts exactly how people want them. I hope you understand. Someone in one of the forums might help you out.
Oh! I am so sorry for bothering you. I’m just enjoying your scripts and wanting to use them to their full extent. Like you said, I’ll put this onto the forums and hopefully people would respond. Thank you once again for your patience, help, and awesome scripts!
So sorry for annoying you like this, but it seems as if I might have a correct way of getting what I want, but not sure.
def music_on(music_name)
$game_system._______.include?(music_name)
end
Similar to your “know_music” conditional branch script call, I just named it music on. I’m not sure if I’m totally off base, but I’m thinking my main struggle is to figure out what goes in the midst of the blank spot. What variable shows what the current music is? Am I on par, or completely off? Sorry once again for keeping on asking you these questions, it’s just that I tried to go onto the forums, but no one is truly understanding on what I want (in terms, giving me unrelated answers).
As I said before, I am sorry, at this moment I don’t know how to determine what music is currently playing and I am busy doing other things and do not have time to try to work it out for you.
Ouch. I get it. I wasn’t really trying to have you work it out for me, I was just wondering if you knew the variable, defenition, or whatever for currently playing music since you made the script which allows you to chose the music you want to play. I won’t bother you with this problem anymore.
I didn’t mean to be rude but I get so many people wanting me to do stuff for them, I have to try to say no else I would have a full time non-paid job haha.
Knowing the variable that stores the currently playing music would mean I would know how to determine what music was currently playing and could tell you how. That’s the bit I don’t know :)
I understand your struggles! I wasn’t really offended by you. It must suck to have so many request (to be honest, I didn’t think you so much!) Well, if you don’t know the variable or what not, than I guess I have no need to bug you anymore with this situation xD I tried one more time on a forums. Normally people would just give me links to music players including yours…not really what I need at the moment. Well, thanks for your help and understanding. I now lay my faith in the trust of the VXA puplic!
Not sure if you’re interested, but my solution was resolved! It appears I didn’t even need to make any changes to your script. It could have been something as simple as doing an event as such:
Conditional Branch: Script: RPG::BGM.last.name == “Super Horrible Song”
Show Text: Get lost!
Else
Conditional Branch: Script: RPG::BGM.last.name == “Super Cool Song”
Show Text: Hey buddy, great to see you!
Branch End
Branch End
So in the end, your script just makes it so much easier to expand off of events. Thanks for tolerating me ;D
Ahh that’s actually very handy to know, that’s for telling me :D
Hi!
I get error all times when I try start the game with this script. :/ (I didn’t edited the script just plugged and played with it)
This is the error message: ” unexpected tIDENTIFIER, expecting keyword_end
…AUDIO_FOLDER = “Audio/Bgm/” # Adds ALL files from this… ”
I don’t know what’s the matter:O
Maybe this script incompatible with another one. :S
how can i add the music player to the menu?im using your menu themes engine
[“Music”,:cmd,:Scene_MusicPlayer, 0, 0, “Description.”,118],
help again? i use this script and the menu themes engine in my two projects.one worked and the other one didnt worked. this is the error by the way:
Script ‘Menu Themes Engine’ line 891:NameError occured
uninitialized constant Kernel::Scene_MusicPlayer
Sounds like you didn’t copy the music player script into your project. But if you did then go through the ideas in this list:
Is it possible to make the player automatically add music that is playing to the list? Like when you fight a new boss or enter a map with a BGM that hasn’t been played before?
I remotely recall seing this option in a script in the famous mog’s animated title demo, but that player has way too much brickabrack to be usefull and I like your scripts more :-)
I imagine it would be possible and not too hard to do but currently I don’t have time to do requests for changes, sorry
Is there a way to shut off the option to set music for battle and such? and Does it work in Yanfly’s Ace Menu script?
If there’s no setting then that option hasn’t been implemented in this script. And it works in a different scene so should work with Yanfly’s Menu
Thanks, and I think I figured out how to disable setting music for battle and such, just had to get rid of options related to that in the script. Wanted to disable that so it’s just a regular music player for my game.
Also, another question. Is there a way for the music to stop playing when you exit out of the menu? As in you play the music while your in the menu, but once you go back to the map, the default music starts playing.
That would also require changes in the script but unfortunately I am too busy for requests – you could try asking in an rpgmaker forum for someone to do it
