I moved the files back to the same directory as the CFG. I also found one file that was named wrong and fixed it. Still nothing.

modify music path.

[Nachtgarm]

@Dinierto It's working perfectly for me this way (2nd option) and that you have to edit the prboom.cfg is stated in the readme.txt inside the folder

@Nachtgarm said in Doom Music:

Yeah, I know that. I just think it's odd to tell someone to put files in a folder, but then tell them to change the CFG to point to it. Why wouldn't they just have that folder already specified in the CFG?

Anyway, I tried it both ways and have tried editing the CFG but neither works.

[Dinierto]

This post is deleted!

[Dinierto]

Edit: I finally solved it. It took a lot of trial and error but I fooled the thing into working finally. Thanks for your input everybody.

[Nachtgarm]

@Dinierto What have you done to get it working for you?

[Dinierto]

@Nachtgarm

First, I deleted the CFG. That made Doom create a new one and the music worked. However it messed up some of the file names (in a rather stupid way I might add) so I had to edit them. However whenever I would start Doom up after that it would add an extra set of quotation marks to my edited CFG. Finally I figured out that if I deleted all of the double quotes ("") it would replace the blank spot with a single quote. So basically I tricked it into working

[Nachtgarm]

@Dinierto so basially you have a new CFG now, which was created by the game itself? Can you please post this CFG in its entirety again please? The double quotation signs are obvious, but the rest is not... why is it working now and wasn't before...

[Dinierto]

@Nachtgarm sure thing, but it will have to be this evening since I'm at work right now. I'm curious to find out what the difference was myself.

and that's the reason why it was working for me, since my prboom.cfg had single (correct) quotations (see above). Is the CFG, that you've posted first the one you got form the get go, or the one you already edited?

[Dinierto]

Right, that's what I had to fix. I still don't get why Doom did it though. Seems like a huge bug.

OK. I see the error. Your first prboom.cfg had double quotations already which I didn't see at first. So that can't be working...

The whole music part was messed up:

and that's the reason why it was working for me, since my prboom.cfg had single (correct) quotations (see above). Is the CFG, that you've posted first the one you got form the get go, or the one you already edited?

I had edited that one. The one that Doom generates has the file names messed up (some of them are out of order as you might have noticed) but it has single quotations, which is why the music suddenly work when I had Doom generate a CFG. The problem was that as soon as I fixed the file names, saved, then loaded Doom again, it added quotes. The solution to that problem is to delete all double quotation marks. This results in Doom inserting single quotation marks

[Nachtgarm]

@Dinierto That still does not make sense to me somehow. When I installed my recalbox and started DOOM for the first time, the prboom.cfgwas created. After that, I just added my music and edited the file by changing the path to the files. No problems with double quotations whatsoever.

When you say "...has the file names messed up...", do you mean only Names being "out of line"? Because that does not change anything...

because this

# Music
mus_e1m1                  "e1m1.mp3"
mus_e1m2                  "e1m2.mp3"
mus_e1m3                  "e1m3.mp3"

is the same as this

# Music
mus_e1m1           "e1m1.mp3"
mus_e1m2                      "e1m2.mp3"
mus_e1m3        "e1m3.mp3"

in this case. Both will work.

And when you edit the file, you did what exactly?

• Changed the path between the quotations to each file?
• Deleted the whole path from quotation mark to quotation mark?

I'm talking about this issue:

mus_e2m1 "e2m1.mp3""
mus_e2m2 "e2m2.mp3""
mus_e2m3 "e2m3.mp3""
mus_e2m4 "e2m4.mp3""
mus_e2m5 "e1m7.mp3""
mus_e2m6 "e2m6.mp3""
mus_e2m7 "e2m7.mp3""
mus_e2m8 "e2m8.mp3""
mus_e2m9 "e3m1.mp3""
mus_e3m1 "e3m1.mp3""

Notice how e2m9 is assigned to e3m1? And then e3m1 is also e3m1? I didn't do that. There are several other file names that are randomly borked like that.

When I edited the path name I only edited the part between quotation marks, and I didn't edit anything else in the entire CFG. I even tried different text editors to see if they were putting some random metadata in, to no avail. If it makes any difference at all I'm editing them on a Windows computer via SMB.

[Nachtgarm]

@Dinierto Ok now it makes sense. I will speak about this with the dev team.

Thanks, hopefully this helps prevent the same problem in the future. I was pulling hair out trying to get it to work!

[Nachtgarm]

@Dinierto I will try to recreate your error later and if I'm able to do it, I will open an issue on GitHub.
