Doom 2 and metadata loop tags

[MusicallyInspired]

Hello, I'm the guy who put together the Roland SC-55 music pack for Doom/Ultimate Doom at http://sc55.duke4.net/.

I'm just finishing up the Doom II soundtrack and I'm testing it with GZDoom with the latest build and I'm noticing that it's not respecting the LOOP_END tags. It loops back to the LOOP_START just fine, but my tracks fade out at the end. I insert a LOOP_END tag before the fade out so that the loop is seamless. Is there a reason why this isn't working? I've also recorded a Hocus Pocus soundtrack from the SC-55 and have been using it with the Hocusdoom mod by rf'. It also doesn't respect the LOOP_END tags of those tracks, but it does loop back to LOOP_START just fine. The only tracks that seem to loop properly and respect LOOP_END are the original Doom 1 music files.

Thoughts?

Which version of GZDoom did you test? Did you test it with this (please ignore the July 01 build)?

Does it work on ZDoom? If not, you should post this in ZDoom, not here.

I used the June 27th build. It doesn't work in ZDoom either. I'll post over there then, thank you!
