Custom Unit BGM - S9-L/FMWSaveManager GitHub Wiki

This is a short tutorial that explains how to set custom unit BGM that plays in general battle scenarios under the "Ally Normal" BGM Priority.

• Modding version that supports loading custom BGM from fmw_dosd/modData/data6-4 through LayeredFS.
• The gsw save file to change set unit BGM.
• Optional - Internal filenames of songs present in the vanilla game, recorded at this documentation page. Useful if you want to change unit BGM to other songs from vanilla. Copy an internal filename (string beginning with the text bgm_) from the reference page and paste it into the Unit BGM field to change the song accordingly.

1. Make sure you're on a modding version that supports the EnableLayeredFS mod for loading custom files. This is usually the latest patch release posted on the GitHub repo: https://github.com/S9-L/fmw_patches.

2. Create your custom song and save it in fmw_dosd/modData/data6-4 (or wherever your fmw_dosd folder is located following this format) with the filename format <SONG_NAME>(<STARTING_LOOP_POINT>).ogg [ex: Yukari's_IaMP_Theme(1.456).ogg].

3. Copy the base internal name taken from your custom song's filename. This is all text before the ( denoting the loop point [ex: Yukari's_IaMP_Theme].

4. Using the save manager, open your save file and navigate to the Unit Editor under the Entities tab.

5. Select your desired unit entry from the list to change their BGM.

6. Paste the custom song's base internal name in the Unit BGM field.

7. Reload your save file in-game and your custom song will now play for the unit in general battle scenarios.

This is no different from entering the Global Menu in-game, going into BGM Selection menu in BGM Settings, and setting character-specific BGM for your units. The BGM selection process is simply organized in the save manager and now allows for custom BGM.
