I am working on my 3 Scenarios hack right now, and it has required some extensive edits to the WOB Map using Zone Doctor. All of the World Map Events and Exits are working correctly, as are the Battle Zones. However, the Veldt area doesn't trigger the "Wild West" music. It just plays the default world map music on the map and all of the battles.

Curiously, this only affects WOB Map A. When I load a later save after the events that open up the route to Nikeah and raise the floating continent, the music is working correctly. Any ideas one what to check? I have browsed the available disassemblies, but either I missed it or this information is not there.

Did you use tiles flagged as Veldt? like tiles 236 and 175 in WoB map.

I didn't know those were a thing. Thanks for the lead!

I didn't test all tiles but these tiles seems to have music data attached to it like loading a song when you land on it with the airship or when you exit a location.

Hmm.. that was a great thought, but it didn't seem to do the trick. Is there something within the Barren Falls event that resets the music? I re-wrote probably 20% of that event, so I may have inadvertently changed something.

This event bit:
1BB B7:3 Veldt music plays on the overworld map

From memory, it is also hardcoded in bank $EE when as an example the airship land on the veldt. I think you would need special coding in this bank if you want to enable the veldt theme when you cross the limit of the veldt area by walking (if map modifications are made for this).

 Yep, I think that's it. I rewrote the Barren Falls boss battle to happen on the Lete River, so I load from the Lete River map to that event, and I purposely skip the first few bytes so that I don't have Terra take a step backwards before jumping. Didn't realize I was skipping the event bit in the process! I'll test it this evening.

EDIT: Yep, that did it! Thanks Gi. I thought for sure the data was embedded in map data, not in an event bit.
