I am making a conversion of Doom for PrBoom and was wondering - does PrBoom allow for MP3, OGG, or something like that for music, or does it only allow MIDI and MUS?

Is it really so hard to check it himself?

Changelogs are like user manuals - no-one ever reads them. ;-)

OK... so how do I do it? I have added a test song in OGG format but it won't play - just silence. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Oh, PrBoom plus... I couldn't find anything about PrBoom being able to play MP3s or OGGs though :(

Heh - PrBoom will play MP3's if you drop them into it's home directory (there's a playlist in the config file) but doesn't appear to support them as wad lumps. Haven't tried OGG files yet.

IIRC, depends from mp3, because SDL_mixer cannot load some MP3 and OGG from file without proper extension. PrBoom-Plus has workaround.

I hope you're not talking about this kind of conversion.

Out of interest, what does this workaround consist of?

code:static const char *music_tmp_ext[] = { "", ".mp3", ".ogg" };
#define MUSIC_TMP_EXT (sizeof(music_tmp_ext)/sizeof(*music_tmp_ext))

for (i = 0; i < MUSIC_TMP_EXT; i++)
