Use OGG OPUS files in RPG Maker MV with looping! 

Use OGG OPUS files in RPG Maker MV/MZ with looping!

RPG Maker MV and MZ both have the ability to play the newer Opus codec for OGG audio files which have better sound at a smaller size.

The problem is the engine doesn't know how to read loop tog data which is important with some BGM/BGSs.

This plugin overwrites WebAudio._readOgg to find the loop tags and sample rate.

*MV Note: Opus files won't preview in the editor but they will loop in game now!

*MZ Note: OPUS files will play in the editor but won't loop unless in game.

For some reason I can't get it to work in MZ.

Damn, I’ll take a look this weekend.

Thank you :) Also, sorry, could you add instructions on whether we need to leave opus files with .opus extension? because there is no way to get the game to work with that, I usually change it to .ogg and it works just fine - but even with yout plugin they don't loop at all.

Oh yea I convert all my files to OGG Opus with another software I have here called EZ Game Audio. Not sure if just changing the file name will work with loop tags?

as of now, no, despite being correctly converted with opus AND playing in the editor

UPDATE: my method apparently uses your same codec, just with variable bitrate

Oh same guy! Anyway it should work now.

I just found out this works with MZ as well which also doesn't support Opus Ogg files!
