Noyemi K's Dynamic Music System Version: 1.0 Author: Noyemi K Date: February 16, 2015 Version History Version 1.0: Original ScriptPlanned Future Versions None (though perhaps it can be extended to include menu music too and have more user-friendly ways to add variations) Description This script allows you to switch between various versions of a BGM, dynamically. For example, you have a version of the track that's just a backbeat, a version with the bass and the backbeat, and a version with all of that plus the melody. It switches between them without restarting the track, just by using a Control Variable event. An easy, customizable naming convention allows you to get more descriptive, but the default uses numbers. I made this with adventure games and ABS RPGs in mind, but it could work with anything really. Features Switch between different variations on one BGM using a variable that you specify in the script Easy editing of variation names Works with auto-start BGM on maps Works only with OGG files or PCM (WAVs) Instructions Place this into its own script above main. You can look in the script for additional instructions.

Hey guys, This one's tricky. I have been using FMOD Audio Pump Up throughout the development of my project. I got a new laptop (finally, and regrettably, upgrading to Windows 10). All of my other material works fine (so far). It's only this script. If it's present in the project, I get the following error when I try to boot the game: Script 'Audio Pump Up' line 1673: NoMethodError occurred. undefined method 'ord' for nil:NilClass This also occurs in a new download of the demo. The only thing I can think of is that since this script uses a separate .dll file, could it somehow not be compatible with my new OS? I understand very little of this type of thing. In the worst case scenario of this not ever working again, is there another method anyone knows of for playing multiple SE, BGS, or ME? That's all I used it for: adding weather sounds. I'd have to redo a ton of my game though, so I'd love to find a fix. Thank you all!

CURRENT STATUS: CLOSED I am a freelance composer. I come from a long line of musicians, both my grandfathers played music by ear. My paternal grandfather could play any instrument he touched. Except for the piano. My maternal grandfather could play one instrument only. By ear. Guess what it was? That's right, the piano! All my life, music has been a huge part of me. From the very first time I listened to beloved video game music from Super Mario Bros 3 from the NES, I was hooked. I have roughly 9 years of musical composing experience. I specialize in adventure and RPG type game soundtracks. Some of my greatest inspirations/influences are Lamb (As in "I will Talk to my Brothers" ) Koji Kondo (Mario, Zelda) , Jun Ishikawa (Kirby) Nobuo Uematsu, Loreena McKennitt, Aivi Tran, and Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Hey all, I'm wondering if I can make a buff apply to my entire party (of 4), but only have the audio file play once? Right now, whenever I apply to the buff to my party members, I hear the audio file 4 times, but I don't want that. If it's not possible, please let me know.

Ever downloaded a great sound track that you wanted to use in the game, but then you found out it just plays from start to finish, and starts playing again from the beginning? However, if you listen to some of the BGM's that come with RPG Maker, such as the battle themes, you'll notice that they have the intro part, but then it will just keep playing forever. This is accomplished through a concept called "looping". Basically, let's say you had a 60 second song, and you wanted the part between 15 and 45 seconds to keep playing. You would specify that at the 15 second mark, you would like to start looping, and at the 45 second mark, you would end looping. Now, your audio file starts playing from the beginning of the song. Once it reaches the 15 second mark, it will notice that it's entered a loop. It will continue to play until the 45 second mark, where it notices that it's at the end of the loop. Now it goes back to the beginning of the loop, and starts playing the song at 15 seconds again. Normally, this information is set in the music files themselves. However, with this plugin, you can use a simple spreadsheet to maintain audio loops for all of your music files! This also means you can create different kinds of loops for the same music file if you wanted to, without distributing multiple copies of the same file. More information and downloads are available at HimeWorks

Ever wanted to play some music when you open up the menu? For example, on the map, you might have the regular map music playing, but then when you go to the menu, you have a separate BGM specifically for when players are going through the menu. With this plugin, you can do that just that! Not only can you choose what BGM to play, you can also change it at anytime during the game with events.

Are audio recordings better or written text? (assuming they're both executed well). I got two scripts working for me for an adventure game, more or less. I tinkered with the code. I made modern algebra's Quest Journal look like a journal for keeping notes you pick up. And I got Galv's Music Player to play Audio Log SE's only, for when you pick up recordings in-game. My FIRST idea was to get the journal to play voice recordings whenever accessed, but I couldn't adjust the program that far, so I decided to just settle for what I have right now. I got most of the story laid out so it's right now a matter of execution and world-building. In summary: Should I stick with the Journal Entries, the Audio Player, or just have both in the game? What do you think would work better? Do you need me to provide a sample of what I've accomplished?

http://rpgarden.com/showthread.php?tid=14&pid=26#pid26 Hello all. Special thanks to the admins for allowing this to happen. As several of you may already know, the community rpgmakervx.net has been shutdown. There is, at the moment, a rebuilding effort - and it is called RPGarden. It is a very resource-oriented community, in the sense that it strives to collect as many graphics/audio/scripts it can. I would like to invite you to our opening activity. The details are as follow: Awards Users are encouraged to submit as many resources (graphics, music, scripts) to RPGarden as they can. By the end of the activity, the top contributors will be rewarded some cash prizes: $25 $20 $10 $5 $5 The prizes will be delivered through PayPal. Amazon gift cards are also an option. Notes Obviously only resources that you have permission to post. Resources don't have to be new. Bring in your old things. We don't value a resource type over another (like a script over a sprite for example). We instead subjectively decide their worth by amount of time and/or general appeal. The current deadline is December 24th. However, it may be extended for one week more depending on the circumstances. Simply start posting resources and you will be participating automatically. Please don't make a single thread with a "huge compilation of things". If you have several resource types, make several threads. You can make compilations of things of the same type (trees, zombies, battle tracks, etc). How to participate Now. Normally, the idea of this contest is for you to register at RPGarden and post your resources there. The official announcement can be found here: http://rpgarden.com/showthread.php?tid=14&pid=26#pid26 However, to ease your burden, you can optionally post your resources in this topic instead. We will manually export them to RPGarden, and that way you don't need to register (although it would make our lives easier). Thanks This wouldn't have been possible without the permission of the staff here. RPGarden is in debt! I will make sure to post useful contests in this site in the future - maybe a Summer game making thing.

Hey! Due to my lack of music skills *cough*and money*cough* I'm requesting a song (or a few if more than one person is interested) used primarily with piano. It will be for my non-commercial game I'm beginning on based on a space themed world. And of course it can be music for anybody to use. The type of mood I'd like to portray in this song would be a general feeling of being calm, and/or lonely. Maybe something like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs0oaFAKs4E Or maybe if you have a better preference for it; some generally sad music would be nice too. I'm sorry if I'm a bit vague and deeply sorry I have nothing to offer in return. I'll try making up for this request one way or another when I find some means, all I can do is write and draw haha...

Not sure if this is at the right place, (if not, excuse me please) But I'm not looking to hire somebody, I'm just requesting 1 orchestal Castle loop for a game I'm going to SELL . (But other people may use this song ofcourse!) I'm sorry that I can't pay for this work. However, I can promote your work, and share links to your work on my facebook page if you want. To be more specific: Glorious Powerful (large amount of deployed soldiers on the castle walls) No techno fast paced stuff Orchestral, old school style like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omp9IvIx0LY Not evil Not dark, but really not to good either (there is a higher security at the castle because something is coming => nobody knows something is coming though, so no evil music) Must loop, the castle is huge. Screenshot of the castle is included, (it's filled with guards but you can't see it at the screenshot) Repayment: Credit (also in demo version) + free game copy. And as a bonus: This area which uses the song, will be used at the demo, so people WILL hear your work, if they play my game. Thanks in advance . "If I don't like, I won't use it though... sorry" (If this is in the wrong section, please move it to where it belongs, and I'll remember where the right place is, for posts like these)

Something (possibly) heroic or intense/ decisive/finishing blow-y, for the very heat of battle. I want to have it so that the party lose their powers during a story and by feeding a magic grail artifact their battle energy to a certain amount, they'll all unlock their powers for a short amount of time, almost like a team overdrive. The music changes and the battleback does as well. It doesn't have to be electronic modern guitar stuff. I'm just a bit music-stupid. I'm having trouble finding good examples but here are some:

One more tutorial coming right up! This is for the newcommers to game audio that are interested in learning how to create a boss theme.
