johnthearbiter98: I was trying to get music working for Quake II since I heard on this site that it wasn't working for Windows 10 PCs (at least since the Anniversary Update), so I tried adjusting the game with tweaks recommended in this site's Quake forums by copying or moving the music folder into the baseq2 folder in File Explorer. Even after doing that, the music was STILL not playing.
Does anyone recommend any other adjustments I could make so that I the music would actually play in the format that GOG provided?
djdarko: I wrote a guide that should help (and yes you can use the ogg files that GOG provides with the game. Though I have uploaded higher quality files, mentioned in the guide.)
https://www.gog.com/forum/quake_series/quake_1_2_quickstart_guide_music_and_source_ports Using the included files involves several extra steps, becuase the tracks need to be renamed:
Quake 2 Rename the following files and place them here (in your Quake 2 installation folder):
baseq2\music
Track02.ogg to 02.ogg
Track03.ogg to 03.ogg
Track04.ogg to 04.ogg
Track05.ogg to 05.ogg
Track06.ogg to 06.ogg
Track07.ogg to 07.ogg
Track08.ogg to 08.ogg
Track09.ogg to 09.ogg
Track10.ogg to 10.ogg
Track11.ogg to 11.ogg
djdarko: Quake 2 Ground Zero Rename the following files and place them here (in your Quake 2 installation folder):
rogue\music
Track12.ogg to 02.ogg
Track13.ogg to 03.ogg
Track14.ogg to 04.ogg
Track15.ogg to 05.ogg
Track16.ogg to 06.ogg
Track17.ogg to 07.ogg
Track18.ogg to 08.ogg
Track19.ogg to 09.ogg
Track20.ogg to 10.ogg
Track21.ogg to 11.ogg
djdarko: I renamed the music files in the baseq2 folder and the music still wasn't playing. I also tried using the music files that you linked in your guide and the music wouldn't play in that setup either. Are there any other steps that I am missing that could help me finally get the music to start playing aside from renaming the files provided by GOG or downloading the higher quality files?
