BGM Loopstart + Loopend Coding

[NYC 4-8-4 Niagara]

while testing the Yoyleland stage with custom music that i put in, i saw that the loopstart and loopend procedures didn't fire and it went straight to loop. here's the code that i used for it, with aftermarket loopstart and loopend modules because they didn't come pre-installed (all others are stock except for the bgmusic module; i inputted Motorway in place of Poopy Hioct):
[Music]
bgmusic = sound/Motorway - Loop.mp3
bgm.loopstart = sound/Motorway - Start.mp3
bgm.loopend = sound/Motorway - End.mp3
bgmvolume = 100
which one am i doing wrong? i do not doubt that it is the bgm.loopstart and bgm.loopend modules that are the issue since they may not be correctly formatted. (btw i'm using ikemen jsyk)

update: i was assuming the correct format for the loopstart and loopend modules are without the period, but i tried them before the period-added ones and they failed too

That's not how loops work in MUGEN. bgmloopstart and bgmloopend take sample values, not their own music tracks.

 

As an example:

[Music]
bgmusic = sound/Voile, the Magic Library.mp3
bgmloopstart = 754837
bgmloopend = 4030012

• bgmusic is the path to the music file.
• bgmloopstart is the position where the loop starts, in samples.
• bgmloopend is the same, but where the loop ends.

Which translates to this (click to zoom in):

I think he's talking about Ikemen-GO

Loops function exactly the same there.

apologies for the late response, i don't really come by here much, but thanks for the intel! case closed!

apologies for opening this up again, but some of my "custom" music tracks have "end" parts after my selected loops that go unused. is there a way i can make it end after a final round, or should i use the "musicvictory" part instead, sacrificing my normal victory music for the end of the battle music?
