ROM Hack Pokemon US/UM custom music?

[LucaP]

The thing is, I dislike the regular trainer battle music in US/UM with a burning passion, and would like to change it to, let's say, the S/M one.
However, I don't know where to start. Do I need to make a .ips patch arquive, or is there a program I can use?
Thanks in advance.

My god yes, I HATE the new trainer battle music. I heard the wild pokemon music and thought that it sounded pretty good but the trainer battle? Ugh...such a mess. So if there is any way to change it then I would soooo be on board with it

I think you can use Luma Game Patching option:
- Obtain the .bcstm file of the music you want to put into the game (.bcstm is the format used for songs by Pokemon games, and it has loop info so it can loop correctly through the game)
- Rename your file to bgm_nj_vs_trainer.dspadpcm.bcstm (I think it's the name of the file used in normal trainer battle)
- Put that file in /luma/titles/*id_of_the_game*/romfs/data/sound/
- Enable Game Patching in Luma Settings
- Profit!
This was the method I used in Sun and it worked, so it should be the same for US/UM too

I tried that but it didn't work, I guess it's because the file name's different in US/UM? Thanks for the help btw.

The new battle theme is so fucking lame tbh

I hope someone finds a method to change the music soon

The battle theme for USUM is bgm_mj_vs_trainer.dspadpcm.bcstm.
All the music for USUM has "mj" instead of "nj" in it. (In cases where it's just a new song, it'll just be "mj" anyways.)
For example:
The game has both wild encounter songs in it. The one from S/M is bgm_nj_vs_norapoke.dspadpcm while USUM's is bgm_mj_vs_norapoke.dspadpcm. I find it weird that GF would leave the old songs in too, but I guess it's just more songs to swap out for something like the Battle Tree or Online battles.

That's funny, I thought it was a nice change over the original. I never liked the original much.
Personally I'd like all new music for all the battle themes, but I didn't expect that to happen since it's just a semi-sequel.

It does not match with the situation, you're about to have a pokemon battle with several pokémon trainers, not just with this guy

Anyway I can confirm that this method works

Thanks anyway @Magical Sheep

When did the number of battles ever matter as to what music played?

If you're using the BRSTM Conversion Tool, you can turn up the volume while you're converting it to bcstm. Just turn up the gain a bit and it should be ok.
Or, you could take the song (Before converting) into something like Audacity and add a few dB to it.
Just be sure it isn't *too* loud or it'll sound gross coming from the game.

Gladion is "bgm_nj_vs_rival.dspadpcm.bcstm" and Hau is "bgm_nj_vs_friend.dspadpcm.bcstm."
All the music should be in romfs\Data\Sound.

Yup, worked like a charm, thanks a lot!
Also, if anyone's interested, i'm putting up the file i'm using right now here, it's this remix of the regular S/M trainer battle.

 

[jesus96]

Anyone knowns where i can find the name of the other tracks? I want to change the Giovanni theme with this one

Hmm, thanks makes me want to try it, why not make this a thread for other alternative tracks and associated filenames?

Same folder in the the romfs I replaced normal trainer battles with Giovanni's US/UM theme, Giovanni's with the 8bit version from Red and the champion battles with Steven's! Now the game is more fun, too bad I couldn't decide what to change the wild mon encounters one to...

 

[Magical Sheep]

Anyone knowns where i can find the name of the other tracks? I want to change the Giovanni theme with this one

Giovanni's theme should be this: bgm_mj_vs02.dspadpcm.bcstm.
These should be all of the new Leader themes:
bgm_mj_vs01 - Rocket Grunt
bgm_mj_vs02 - Giovanni
bgm_mj_vs03 - Archie/Maxie
bgm_mj_vs04 - Cyrus
bgm_mj_vs05 - Ghestis
bgm_mj_vs06 - Lysandre
I had these names saved in a sticky note so hopefully they're right.
