battleback issue?

[ryanreese]

I created a boss fight through the troop page in the database, and then trigger it with an event on the map. The fight works perfectly, the only problem is that the background I specified on the troop page isn’t showing up in-game. It just shows the generic placeholder background. When I battle test the encounter through the troop page the background is there. It just doesn’t translate over into the actual event on the world map. What would cause this?

The program cannot change battle background during a battle. So using that option in a Battle Event will do nothing.

There are some scripts around somewhere that enable that if you want to go and look for them.

The battle back scenery is set per map. You can set it by right-clicking the map name and selecting map properties. That's generally what covers your basic battles.

For a boss battle, in the event that sets that up, go to Event Commands tab 3, under Map you can change the Battleback for the current map. That's good for setting up scenery for the boss fight, just remember to add a command that changes it back to the original after the battle.

That's very helpful, thank you!

Here's a little scriptlet I use that allows the Change Battleback command to work during battles:

class Game_Interpreter

  alias_method :command_283_orig_kal, :command_283
  def command_283
	command_283_orig_kal
	if SceneManager.scene.is_a?(Scene_Battle)
	  scene = SceneManager.scene
	  scene.spriteset.dispose_battleback1
	  scene.spriteset.dispose_battleback2
	  scene.spriteset.create_battleback1
	  scene.spriteset.create_battleback2
	end
  end
end

class Scene_Battle
  attr_reader :spriteset
end
