Contrary to popular belief, we are not all-knowing-all-seeing magical beings!

If you want help you're going to have to provide lots of info. Like what is your hardware, what is your operating system, what version of GZDoom/LZDoom/whatever you're using, what mods you're loading, how you're loading it, what you've already tried for fixing the problem, and anything else that is even remotely relevant to the problem.

We can't magically figure out what it is if you're going to be vague, and if we feel like you're just wasting our time with guessing games we will act like that's what you're really doing and won't help you.

How to setup the WildMidi device in gzdoom?

Post by TendoCats »

Every time I select I this error in the console that goes something along the lines of "unable to create WildMidi device. Falling back to FluidSynth." I assume that maybe I need to download WildMidi itself and maybe some soundfont for it (my sf2s don't show up in the options.) Thanks! Hopefully I posted this in the right place.

WildMidi only works with GUS patches, if you do not have a set that GZDoom can use it won't work.

I honestly have no idea how to make it work either. WildMidi outside of GZDoom finds the eawpats I have setup just fine, but trying everything to tell GZDoom where that is, still results in failure...
