Is there something that doesn't work right in the latest GZDoom? Post about it here.

[since 4.14pre-106] Music replacements in PK3s/Folders don't load correctly vs in Wads (also can't upload a test file)

So for whatever reason, at the very least, music file replacements don't seem to be loaded over top the defaults if you're using a PK3/Folder [using the 'music' subfolder] vs WAD files. This started since gzdoom-x64-g4.14pre-106-g5576e6667 and looking over the versions since gzdoom-x64-g4.14pre-96-g9b6237964 on github, I saw Graf was working on some updates for the file system, but I fear one or more of these changes might not accounted for checking the differences between WADs and non-WAD archives, or at least PK3s/Folders.

Unfortunately, as I went to make this very topic, I've noticed that all of a sudden the maximum file size is suddenly 52kb for some reason when I could swear in past bug reports where I've sent in test files, I could definately upload bigger stuff, and the test file I had ready to upload for this issue is only a bit over 200kb, and it would be a 7zip file with a WAD and PK3 file to demonstrate the issue. Is there some kind of reason for the sudden massive shrinking in the size limit for bug report file submissions? x.x

Also I don't seem to have the ability to even upload testing files if I try the issue reporter on Github, so I can't do it that way either. :\

Unfortunately, yes - cloud storage is much too expensive and the present host kept running low on free space. You will have to use OneDrive/DropBox/Google Drive.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/10sV6Tq ... sp=sharing - assuming this [as in my trying to share the file] works correctly, all you should need to do to test this is to load each file in Doom 1 mode to the titlescreen in seperate sessions. The files each have an SNES SPC or two from SNES!Doom that replaces the title music for Doom 1, but using their original lump names. If I've described this bug accurately, the WAD file's version should work fine, and the PK3 version will not, and you'll be able to hear the difference, when using 4.14pre106 and on, and both should work correctly in 4.14pre96 and earlier.

I also realized this is probably not likely only an issue capable of messing with music loading, but potentially any lump that replaces vanilla textures/sprites, etc. It's possible those do still work, but I don't have a quick way to check and test those off hand, so hopefully the music example I found will be enough to help here. :V
