this should be handled by the upcoming commit that moves music playback to zss

I found it the same.

Music was decided at the game is loading not the stage is loading.
in order to change music, you need to restart ikemen.

another thing I found
if you are using 3D stage, music file can be loaded without path, just with the def file.
but if a 2D stage, music file must have full path, I really hope 2D stage will behaviour like 3D. can be used without a path.

Are you sure it's only for 3D stages? Or is it just that 3D stages are the only ones that are Ikemen-exclusive and therefore can be distributed without the sound folder in the BGM path?

This is a very minor issue since it only happens when you're modifying things and reloading with shift F4. So is the issue in the title I suppose. For gameplay purposes you could pretend the debug keys don't exist.

I don't have 2D Ikemen-exclusive stage. but I don't put music in sound folder, I always put music with the def file.
this make orginaze char, and stages easier.

stages/author_name/stage.def
stages/author_name/stage.mp3
stages/game_name/stage.def
stages/game_name/stage.mp3
char/POTS/character_name.def

if I move a stage to another folder i have to change def, but if can accept without path, I just need to move the file without edit the defs.

[potsmugen]

You'll always have to edit the def file because Mugen stages will have sound/ in the path 99% of the time.

I was actually working on some stuff while using Shift F4 to reload and it hit me: is it so bad that the music does not reload? It certainly makes such a development setup more comfortable.
