# INTRODUCTION:
# =============
#
# Isn't it boring  that you always have the same music play  when your party
# gets killed in battle?  With Lina's GameOver MEs, you can define different
# melodies to play depending upon the enemy troop being faced or by a single
# event command for unique situations.
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# FEATURES:
# =========
#
# * A simple hash-array system where you can define the music
# * A simple script call for individualized gameover music
# * No overwritten code
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# INSTRUCTIONS:
# =============
#
# Paste below Scene Debug and above main. Individual use is defined below:
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# CONFIGURATION:
# ==============
#
# Go to the Lina_GOME module.  For any actual Troop in your database  that is
# meant to have a custom Gameover ME file,  create a TROOP entry.  The key to
# that TROOP entry is the ID of the Troop within the database.
#
# EX: TROOP[6]  (Assumes that this entry is for Troop #6: 'Sahagin*3').
#
# Assigned to each TROOP entry created  is an array that defines the music ME
# that is meant to play.  At bare minimum, you need to supply the name of the
# music file (from within the Audio\ME folder).  However, you can also define
# volume and pitch changes to each.
#
# EX:  TROOP[8] = ["013-Gag02", 70, 120]
#
# The above would play the comical "Gag 2" music event  at a lighter 70% vol-
# ume with a slightly higher rate than normal.
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# SCRIPT CALLS:
# =============
#
# You can use the 'lina_gome' script call to define a Gameover Music Event to
# any individually triggered battle. The script call is quite simple:
#
# SYNTAX:  lina_gome(filename [, volume [, pitch]] )
#     * filename : the filename in the Audio/ME folder
#     * volume   : (Optional - Default: 100) Range:  0-100
#     * pitch    : (Optional - Default: 100) Range: 50-150
#
# Because the volume and pitch are optional values,  you need only change the
# filename if you are fine using a standard 100% music volume and 100% pitch.
#
# Paste below Scene Debug and above main. All methods that handle actor stats
#
#
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#
# NOTES:
# ======
#
# Gameover Music Events defined with a script call will overwrite any defined
# for a TROOP. They are also one-shots, meaning they're erased and reset once
# it the battlesystem has performed.... whether the party survives or not.
#
# Defining a filename of "" erases gameover music for that instance.

BUMP

to Version 1.1

There was a minor technical fault.  I sadly forgot to 'erase' the temporarily created GameOver SE substitute after battle, whether or not the player 'could' survive or even escape.  This allowed for non-flagged battles to accidentally contain a defined/custom Gameover melody if they indeed died to a regular battle.

This had to be remedied, and remedied it was.   So now, surviving a dreaded fight with a troop containing a custom gameover music event will not blunder with that ME playing if you die to mere grunts.

Meanwhile...    ...  I added a little more panache to the big fight, let alone the summoning.  I couldn't help it.  I wanted a little more.  The big guy now grunts and growls a little during combat.  And he really gets psyched up after the first round.  You can tell as his eyes start glowing a little after the first round.

OH, and yes.  It is indeed possible to beat the big guy.
