Music is not the same like in the Original.

Well first off, I can hardly hear the music in the second video. The music is very quiet by default in Fresh Supply. I recommend turning the music all the way up and turning sound effects down to like 50%. Beyond that, the instruments used for MIDI playback (soundfont) in this port come from TiMidity and don't sound like the Roland instruments you are probably used to from the built-in Windows MIDI synth. Search google for a soundfont named "GMGSx.sf2" and put that in the Fresh Supply main folder, and in-game type the following command into the console:

snd_soundfontfile GMGSx.sf2

You have to restart the game for the change to take effect.

That soundfont uses the Roland instruments you are likely familiar with. It comes bundled with a program called Synthfont, so if you have trouble finding just the soundfont by itself you can always install that and get it that way.

If you want something a little fancier, you can download this Roland SC-55 soundfont[dosboxece.yesterplay.net] found on the DOSBox ECE homepage.[yesterplay.net] It uses recorded samples from a real Roland SC-55, which sounds a little better than the raw instruments on their own. You have to extract this before you use it of course, and I'd rename this to sc55.sf2 or something before you use it because the filename has spaces (won't work in the console) and the extension is duplicated for some reason. You can use filenames with spaces in the console as long as you encapsulate the filename in quotations, if you really want to.

Thanks for the information. How do you rollback to the default if you prefer it?

Sorry for such a late reply, could you please tell step-by-step on how to switch to the new soundfont you mentioned (also does this soundfont fix the quiet music?).

It'd be better if you made a steam guide for this :P thanks a bunch!

No problem. Just search google for "GMGSx.sf2" and find a place to download this file from. Once you have this file, just move it to the game's main installation folder; the same folder as the executable for the game. Launch the game and hit the tilde key (~) to bring down the console and issue the following command into the console that drops down:

snd_soundfontfile GMGSx.sf2

Make sure you hit Enter to actually send the command. You can actually copy this line right from this post and use ctrl-v to paste it into the console so you don't have to type it out. Now just restart your game for the change to take effect.

That's it!

This doesn't do anything to fix the audio balance, it just changes the instrument sounds to be the ones you are used to if you played the game with a Roland Sound Canvas back in the DOS days, or if you played it in Windows/DOSBox in which case it used the Microsoft MIDI synth which uses the same instruments. These are the same instruments that were likely used to compose the music as many of the games of the era were composed on hardware that used these same instruments; Doom and Duke Nukem 3D for instance. My suggestion regarding the volume is to simply turn the music volume all the way up in the game options, and turn the sound effects down to a comfortable level. Music 100%, sound effects 50% works well enough for me.

If you ever want to go back to the instruments the game ships with, just use this command:

snd_soundfontfile TimGM6mb.sf2

[0mnicydle]

Oh yeah and one more thing to note: none of this will have any effect if you have "CD music" enabled in the audio options. This is all specifically about changing how the MIDI music rendering sounds, so make sure CD music is disabled if you are looking to use the MIDI soundtrack.

Ah, Thanks a million for the very in depth instructions! Super helpful, it sounds more faithful now. For me, I have to turn sound effects all the way down to 30% as Caleb's voice is screechingly loud at 50% and above for me(weirdly, CD music's volume is fine, its the Midi music that is awfully quiet.) Really sucks to see Atari abandoning support for the game, still so many simple issues like these no longer have any hopes of getting patched. Thanks again, cheers.

[0mnicydle]

No problem, glad it worked out for you. And yeah, the voice issue is super annoying!

I solved the problem through "Blood GDX"

I would only recommend "Blood GDX" anyway because its by far a better source port from the Original Blood You can use this with "Fresh Supply"

BloodGDX is obsolete now thanks to Nblood, it still uses Java and doesn't have proper colours + inaccurate physics.

I bought it on Steam release and then asked for a refund.

Well give it another shot. It did get a giant patch sometime after release that probably fixed everything that made you refund it.

I concur, definitely worth another shot
