[ravage]

a glitch with i found in the 3th map when u take the white potion the one that gives u rapid fire, the overlay for showing its active is misaligned it covers like3/4 of the screens. i have a garbage pc otherwise i would have shown some screenshots. have tryed different versions of gzdoom messed around with video settings nothing fixed it

TLDR:- Rapid fire potion[white one] overlay to show its active is misaligned :u

Its been fixed for the next version.

Is something forcing this mod to use the OPL emulation? How do I disable it? I want my SC-88, damnit!

I don't see any instance of $mididevice in the SNDINFO lump, checking in hocusdoom-01-26-2019.pk3.

And going to the "change game options" menu to set MIDI device to various things show a very clear difference between OPL and my usual setting.

Its all the way at the bottom of sndinfo. I've been debating whether to remove them or not. I had originally set them because OPL with the GENMIDI that hisymak is how they're originally meant to be heard, or at least that's what I know them to sound. But I've had a lot of complaints about it so I dunno. Honestly, it'd be nice if gzdoom had a 'use default' setting and then let you override them yourself.

I don't presently have Hocus Pocus at the moment, but did it ever allow you to use General MIDI in it? Because, as far as I know it uses MIDI for everything.

A really really old beta of Hocus Pocus used IMF on the other hand. (But even those old IMF's don't sound like Hocus Pocus with OPL music)

I guess removing those $mididevice declarations out of the bottom of SNDINFO will enable using whatever? That shouldn't interfere with the DMX GENMIDI lump you have in the PK3 I would hope.

Nope - only OPL is affected by that lump (GZDoom's OPL emulator, or the Sound Blaster setting in vanilla Doom - not that the latter matters here!).

For what it's worth, the IMF version of Hocus Pocus's music can be downloaded here: http://www.vgmpf.com/Rips/HocusPocus-DOS.zip

I haven't tried using the IMF soundtrack inside of GZDoom though. They play just fine in adplay without having to put them in a database file so I assume they use the same "clockspeed" as the Commander Keen 4-5 games.

It'd be interesting to include these beta IMFs as a soundtrack option if such a thing is possible to implement in GZDoom.
