My new custom music files are not playing.

[Deleted User bye]

Title. I've been making a very simple WAD, where I change the soundtrack entirely, and replace it with relaxing tunes. But issues began once I decided to replace the intermission track as the volume was too loud. After placing the track in the game (and saving), the audio did not play. I tried 2 more times with different tracks, still, nothing worked. I tried with another level, no audio. I restarted Slade, and made a New WAD, nothing has worked. Please help.

and you have all the replacements spelled right, I usually screw up with a forgotten underscore, or I spell something right when it should've been spelled wrong!

 What do you mean, that I "spelled something right when it should've been spelled wrong"?

Here's an image of slade if you want to see.

What source port are you loading this in? Not all of them support MP3.

Tested DSDA and GZDOOM, both work, but not PRBOOM for some reason :( any fix?

PRBOOM+

Well there's your answer, PRBoom doesn't support MP3s. You can try converting the audio to OGG, but if that doesn't work either it means it only supports MIDI.

But that's strange, because all of the files are MP3s, and it's just the new ones that don't work, if you look in my post.

I know this is a non-answer, but perhaps dsda-doom and ZDoom support is all you need? considering dsda-doom is a sort of successor to prboom+.

 

If not I would try a different file type for the songs.

Yea, thanks for the tip, currently switching from mp3 to ogg :D

That was not made clear, but I don't have an answer for that anyway. Maybe you stumbled upon an MP3 that's encoded differently (though I don't recall there being a format change?) but in general OGG is a better format for game audio streaming than MP3 so it's worth trying anyway.

Thank you all for the advice, everything works now with OGG. :D
