Not sure why, but the plugin isn't working for me. I tried adjusting its placement and turning off other plugins too. :/

@Sc0wly What sound effect do you set it on?
(by default it's "Up1", it's adjustable by inputting the file name of the sound effect you're using for Level Up)

If a sound effect isn't found, then an error would pop-up. [Failed to load: audio/se/???.ogg]

I tried it with the default settings before (and after) attempting to change anything. I also turned off plugins affecting victory aftermath, level-up, battle, etc., and changed the plugin's order on the list (top, bottom, etc.). No matter what I try it won't play the sound effect.

Edit: I should also add that at no time have I seen an error message indicating an issue. It simply does not play a sound for me. :/

If there's no error message, could you try mute the music and listen whether a sound effect plays?

It plays one time if a party member levels up during textbox announcement when a battle ends. Also if an event like "Change Level" is used, it requires a check next to "Show Level Up."

I finally got the sound to play by turning off the two Yanfly plugins that affect victory aftermath. I had turned them off before to check for the sound but with no luck so I must have had something else still turned on that was interfering with it. Problem is that if it's not compatible with the Yanfly VictoryAftermath, and AftermathLevelUp plugins I can't really use it since the impact of turning them off will be greater than not having a sound for level up. It's sad though because the idea that we even require a plugin for a lvl-up sound is ridiculous.

I'd try to get it to work with the Yanfly plugins but I wouldn't really know where to start. Thanks for making this plugin though. I think you're the only one who has so far (which is crazy lol).

I will of course give credit to all authors of plugins that I use in my final build!

This plugin does work, but how do i change the timing on the sound effect, it plays instantly when the last monster is defeated, before the game has even told you that your characters have leveled up
"Your party was victorious!"
*Bling*
........
......
huh?.....
i want it to play when you're still on the battle screen, when the text comes up that you've level up, after the EXP and money
