Since I don't mind scriptcalls (using tons of them already) this seems to be a solution.
Much thanks. :)

Now it only needs to get cold enough in my room to spend more than a few minutes on the PC.
Much stuff to test.^^

You can try "MCI Audio Player" (xp/vx/vxa, support pause and resume a playing file) or "FmodEx" (xp only, support memorize current playing time, and resume an audio at anytime)
You also will add some modifies in "def call_battle" (to pause map bgm) and "def start_phase5" (to resume map bgm after battle) to make things work

Well, in HiddenChest you're supposed to use Audio.bgm_pos to get the current BGM's position... In the default VX Ace engine it only works if it's playing an OGG or WAV file... Confused

I guess it might also work with MP3 in HiddenChest. I've compiled a binary executable that already keeps record of the position even if you're playing an XP or VX game. So far it works on Linux and Windows 64 bit versions, but I'm unsure if I'll ever release the latest binaries. Laughing + Tongue sticking out

Code:
class Game_Temp

  def map_bgm=(bgm)

    bgm.pos = Audio.bgm_pos

    Audio.bgm_pos = 0.0

    @map_bgm = bgm

  end

end

class Game_System

  def bgm_play(bgm)

    @playing_bgm = bgm

    if bgm != nil and bgm.name != ""

      bgm.pos ||= 0.0

      Audio.bgm_play("Audio/BGM/" + bgm.name, bgm.volume, bgm.pitch, bgm.pos)

    else

      Audio.bgm_stop

      Audio.bgm_pos = 0.0

    end

    Graphics.frame_reset

  end

  def bgs_play(bgs)

    @playing_bgs = bgs

    if bgs != nil and bgs.name != ""

      bgs.pos ||= 0.0

      Audio.bgs_play("Audio/BGS/" + bgs.name, bgs.volume, bgs.pitch, bgs.pos)

    else

      Audio.bgs_stop

      Audio.bgs_pos = 0.0

    end

    Graphics.frame_reset

  end

end

So far that's all you need to make it remember the position when the battle begins and it's supposed to recall it later on. Again, I'm not saying I'll ever release the latest HiddenChest binaries. Laughing + Tongue sticking out

So this isn't working in the current version that I'm using but only in your HiddenChest version, hidden on your computer?

Fine, here's HiddenChest's binary file for Windows (any?) 64 bit version and the corresponding Ruby binary library. It already includes the changes I made to the Audio module.

Looks like I'm a bit late to comment on this but I'm using ParaDog's Battle BGM Anti-Reset and it works just fine. One thing is that if you escape from a fight, the battle theme will continue to play until it ends and then the field theme will resume normally.

Well, she's not wanting one that keeps the field music playing in battle. She wants the field music to resume where it left off, thus needing to memorize the music position itself.

Oh, your copy of ParaDog's isn't original. Having translated the original version (and looking at it now), someone added content right after line 30.

Now that you mention it, I -think- I requested an edited version of the original script. What it does is to play the battle themes as BackGround Sounds (BGS) that will not loop, allowing the field music to resume once they end.

The script also allows you to disable the effect and play the battle themes normally. Ideal for boss battles.

I see the edit. Rather than stopping the field music when battle begins, it continues playback of the field music whilst the battle is on-going. However, she wishes the music to pause when battle begins, and resume playback at that point. This doesn't accomplish that effect. But that's because the game engine's audio class doesn't have a pause and resume method.

I see.

I used both MCI Audio Player and FmodEx mentioned by finalholylight back then and eventually ran into issues. MCI glitched if a battle animation had too many sounds, causing the game to slow down and eventually freeze and Fmod sometimes played the resumed field music at a way too low volume or failed to stop playing the battle theme after a fight.

Also, I cooked this demo of ParaDog's script if anyone is interested.
