The thing is, the sound environment IDs just specify effect parameter presets, not effect processors. Simply specifying an environment ID to a sound to play introduces ambiguity and can create unexpected costs depending on what environments are used (e.g. if you play 10 sounds with 10 unique ...

It is possible to add in theory, though I'm not really sure the ideal way to do it. Currently only one environment reverb can be active at a time, and sounds can be excluded from the environment reverb by using the CHANF_UI flag, but can't be given a unique environment. As far as OpenAL Soft (what ...

It seems to me that you are going to a lot of trouble for little benefit. You could simply specify a folder in the ini file where to save a screenshot. eg: screenshot_dir=D:\SCREENSHOTS\SCREENSHOTS_GZDOOM I think the concern is more about the crash when it couldn't save the screenshot to the given ...

(Side note, I believe OpenAL does have low and highpass parameters for sounds, it's just not exposed to mods in ZDoom) It does, and you're correct. Currently a low-pass filter is applied to all non-UI sounds when underwater (which also forces the Underwater reverb preset and lowers the pitch of ...

Don't know if this may be the issue or not, but by the looks of it, $pitchshiftrange <value> sets the current pitch shift range to be inherited by future sound definitions. However, sounds already defined are untouched, and it is possible to set the pitch shift range of a sound explicitly using ...

From what I know, there's a couple parts to the hard-coded environments to be cognizant of (whether or not they're ultimately moved to reverbs.txt). For one, the hard-coded/built-in environments aren't allowed to be overridden by mods (as determined by ID, not name). Attempts to do so are silently ...

I'm curious how that would affect pathing. Does the enemy AI consider objects they can walk on as a valid path, or would it still try to avoid the holes since the map geometry has the lowered floor?

Does the console show the device being opened? Does it successfully open and just not output anything, or does the device fail to open?

Are any messages printed to GZDoom's console? Increasing the console log verbosity may possibly help show what it's doing and why it's not playing the audio track.

Are any other sounds playing when the movie starts? If so, is it a lot?

And here's how I'd like it to be done: 1) Discriminate between static and dynamic geometry; 2) Find out about possible changes in dynamic geometry, e.g. scan for how sectors and linedefs are affected in height, texturing and brightness, find out for triggers and scripts referencing them, then ...

The "Default" audio resampler option seems to default to "4-Point Gaussian" now instead of "Linear" as it previously did. The previous resampler (since OpenAL Soft 1.23) was Cubic Spline, before that it was Linear. OpenAL Soft 1.24 added a new 4-Point Gaussian resampler and made it the default ...

As a small update, it doesn't seem as though MPG123_NO_FRANKENSTEIN is the cause of the failure with libsndfile, though the disparity between older and newer GZDoom versions is likely as said. Older releases have a ZMusic build that uses libmpg123 directly itself, which works (and is why it works ...

FWIW, it seems libsndfile isn't detecting either of the files for me either, meaning it's libmpg123 that manages to handle the files. I'd still call this an issue in libsndfile either way , if nothing else the ID3v2 tag in the first file should give it a confidence boost that there's supposed to be ...

I'll check out the git build when I get a chance but it's interesting that older GZDoom versions played it OK, the current official version doesn't and then a newer build does again. It's also possible there's something particular about my build set up. Since I'm on Linux, it could be related to me ...

It seems to work for me, using a recent Git build (GZDoom commit 8e4080f8d16695b9c26475a1732feda2c7efe7f8, ZMusic commit 519b76b6e7a89752757732561ff2cada3cd7d221). Looking at the file, it starts with an ID3 tag followed by a whole lot of nothing. The MP3 data doesn't start until the 3,370th byte ...
