Solved Doom Music

[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.

@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!

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