Lord Chespin 10 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Hey! I'm trying to add new music into Pokemon Essentials, but when I playtest the game it doesn't play. Heck, even when I do a sound test it doesn't play! All I did was put the music into the BGM folder, so am I doing something wrong? Link to post Share on other sites
Global Mods Zumi 2466 Posted September 24, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted September 24, 2016 You have to select the music when creating a map. In map properties, make sure this box is checked, then click on the arrow. You'll get a list with songs that you put in the BGM folder when you do that. Select a song, and it'll play on that map when playing on it. Link to post Share on other sites
Global Mods Ice Cream Sand Witch 1650 Posted September 24, 2016 Global Mods Share Posted September 24, 2016 ^it should play in sound test though if the music is working properly I've had this problem with some of GlitchxCity's older tracks, where they don't play at all when I download them from her soundcloud. The recent ones work fine, but the ones from 2012-ish don't work and I have to copy the tracks from Reborn or Rejuvenation's audio folder for them to play. Link to post Share on other sites

Jmanultrax1 38 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 yeah of the ones I plan on using, I test them to make sure they play first. if they don't play I have to find a another way. some of the music im using isn't all pokemon so it can be a little trouble at times.

Amanojaku 7 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I made sure to do that too, but nothing's happening. In fact, when I try to listen to it from that menu, nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? Do these songs have kanji or something like that on the title? I had the same problem once, and this is what caused it. Link to post Share on other sites
Developers Jan 2600 Posted September 24, 2016 Developers Share Posted September 24, 2016 RPGMaker doesn't support some formats. MP3 formats are your best bet. RPGMaker is also a little finicky with how the song is titled. If there are foreign letters in the title sometimes it won't play. (As what was said above me). Link to post Share on other sites
