Instructions
Instructions are in the script.

FAQ
Awaiting question.

Compatibility
I'm not sure if it's compatible with the SDK or any custom battle scripts. This script aliases Spriteset_Battle's initialize method.

I would totally use this if I were using a battle system with troops. I am using ATOA's Chrono Trigger script. I do like the idea though. This would actually be much simpler to use than constantly switching the battle theme back and forth with events. Nicely done!

[Yin]

Yes, this is definitely useful for boss battles. I'm going to use it.

[Cloak of Laser Cannon]

I've actually been wanting something like this for a while. It's perfect for those random boss monsters...

[Yin]

Adding on to what I said before, this makes things automated and makes it much easier to handle events without having to worry about forgetting to switch the music back to normal or other crap like that. It's great.

[Alpha-Mad]

This reminds me of FF6, in the Veldt, where all the monsters that have been faced during the game go to. Each troop could have it's own battle music that relates to where you fought them earlier in the game.
