![]() This sounds amazing in eawpats! In the Fluid R3 patchset the voices sound so real you'd swear a whole choir of monks are hidden away behind the walls. Shompats and eawpats do a good job of it.Į1M8's short drums, harmonic voices and horns can sound chillingly haunting or horribly poor too. The slow chimes are usually too cheesy sounding, these seem to be a tough instrument to find a good version of. They're a good test of guitars, especially in the faster parts, E3M1 is included for the same reason.Į1M3 is tricky to hear nicely, as the boingy bit at the start often gets ruined by patches not cutting off quick enough. I know as soon as I think of playing Doom I hear the old OP元 track of E1M1 in my head. I like shompats better, it sounds more crisp and classic, though a few instrument volumes could do with tweaking (which I think is just a simple matter of amp=XXX in the cfg file).Į1M1 and MAP01 everyone will know like the back of their hand, so they're a good comparison when using many patchsets. Some songs sound so similar (E1M1) the same instruments are probably used, some sound noticeably different. e1m1-eawpats.ogg e1m8-eawpats.ogg map01-eawpats.ogg map31-eawpats.oggĮ1m1-shom.ogg e1m8-shom.ogg map01-shom.ogg map31-shom.oggĮ1m3-eawpats.ogg e3m1-eawpats.ogg map07-eawpats.ogg readme.txtĮ1m3-shom.ogg e3m1-shom.ogg map07-shom.oggThe two patchsets used are Eric Welch's eawpats, and shom's patch set linked above. I've converted every GM soundfont I can find and haven't heard anything better. As as been said though, eawpats/minipats/shompats are the best you're going to get. You can get that going in a virtual machine or LiveCD if you run Windows. There is a Linux app called unsf which can convert an SF2 to patches and write a cfg. I don't know if that applies to Windows SDL ports or even if GZDoom uses SDL under Windows for sound. Under Linux, you aren't able to use an SF2 with Timidity and SDL, you have to use instrument patches with a cfg file. I never really test Doom 2 songs, though D_SHAWN (MAP07) is a favorite of mine.Įdit: Also we're not really helping OP here. Songs I use to test when trying a new font are E1M1 & E3M1 for the guitars, E1M3 for the bit at the start which so many patchsets ruin, E1M8 which usually sounds amazing anyway. Any songs you'd like to hear in particular or just the lot? I can do a comparison with eawpats, minipats, shompats and any others you can think of. This is very frustrating and I would be extremely appreciative of any help provided. I don't see how nobody else has this problem. And of course, if the test doesn't work, it also doesn't work in doom. Anytime I test timidity in cmd with a midi file, it never fails to give me the same exact error everytime: "Bad patch option". Third of all, I've tried multiple soundfonts at least 3 or 4. It reads "soundfont C:\Program Files\Doom\timidity\sf2\FF3.sf2". ![]() Second, I replaced the default patch with the soundfont I want to replace the default instruments with (in the timidity.cfg file). First of all, yes, I did download the correct timidity that is specified for doom. The problem is that timidity just plain doesn't work! I've done everything in my best ability. I gave up on it but I recently found myself trying to get it to work again because the default instruments are horrible! I did this in order to replace the terrible quality midi samples that are default for my shitty sound card (SB Audigy LS). I actually downloaded timidity for doom awhile ago to use in gzdoom.
