By the poster
I didn't create the original scripts, and as of now the links that Near Fantastica put up are down (and he can't get to them) and his RMXP system is down.  Given that he posted the original (though broken) demo links here, there should be no problem to post the script.

I tinkered with the system and made a version 3 (still tinkering :) ) that combines the best features of both... and a little more.

View Range v1
View Range v2

And
View Range v3 Eta


Instructions

For version 1

To call BGS add this script call for events:
$view_range.event_sound(event_id, bgs_name)
This script call lets you check within the area of a circle around the event for the player and calculates the level of the volume to play the BGS at.

To use events to perform a check within an area of a circle and trigger an RMXP Switch:
$view_range.enemies_view(event_id, view_range, switch_id)
This script call lets you check within the area of a circle  for an event.  It will return true if the player is in the events view range.

To call the enemies add this script call for enemies:
$view_range.enemies_view(event_id, view_range, switch_id)
This script call lets you check within the area of a semi circle in front of the event for the player if true the player is in the enemy's view range.

Syntax

• Event ID is the events id which the script call is placed from
  
• View Range is how far the event can see
  
• BGS Name is the name of BGS you want the event to play: example "010-River01"
  
• switch_id is the default RMXP switch id that can be used in various Event commands.
  

For version 2

To call BGS add this script call for events:
$view_range.event_sound(event_id, bgs_name)
This script call lets you check within the area of a circle around the event for the player and calculates the level of the volume to play the BGS at?€?

To call the enemies add this script call for enemies:
$view_range.enemies_view(event_id, view_range, switch_id)
This script call lets you check within the area of a semi circle in front of the event for the player if true the player is in the events view range.

Syntax

• Event ID is the events id which the script call is placed from
  
• View Range is how far the event can see
  
• BGS Name is the name of BGS you want the event to play: example "010-River01"
  
• switch_id is which local switch you want to set on... example "A", "B", "C", "D"
  

For version 3

Plenty more instruction in the script...  Feeling lazy right now. [/list]

Take Care,

Enjoy,

Version 3 Eta
I included built in instructions that allow you to use local self-switches and global RMXP switches, as well as being able to control the volume when using the event_sound call.  Also, the system's 'view' calls now includes an optional switch so impassable tiles can 'block' the view/detection system.
