MFH Mod (FoFiX) 3.0xx (v3.030) (OLD)

[acrox999]

I was playing around with my windows python2.5 compilation and noticed python 2.5.4 was just released. I tried building fofix with that version and it seems that some of the issues I was having before were resolved. I also applied some patches to py-vorbis and rebuilt it. I was able to open the exe and play songs without having to restart. I was also able to get it to run in vista by using win98 compatibility (you might also have to select the three disable option check boxes in the fretsonfire.exe compatibility screen).

I have limited access to windows machines right now, so if anyone is willing to test it out, here is the link: http://www.mediafire.com/?l0oeo2mgzfs

Please let me know how it runs.

Edit: Something I haven't been able to test is multi-track songs. Can someone post a link to one so that I can test it? I'm not sure if I have any. All the songs I've tried to open since I started working on this have opened.

Gonna test it! Oh yeah, for Windows right?

Yeah, for windows. All I have to test it on right now is a vmware virtual os. And that runs really slowly.

Played two songs with no problems.

Multi-track songs doesn't work(tested with Almost Easy RB2 version and Suicide and Redemption K.H. GHIII version). Other that, it works perfectly. And really smooth. Much much more smoother.

Just tried playing some Rb songs with the latest revision (650) but it crashes at the end of the song:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/games/FoFiX-SVN/src/Session.py", line 66, in signalMessage

File "/usr/local/games/FoFiX-SVN/src/Session.py", line 87, in handleMessage

engine.run()
File "/usr/local/games/FoFiX-SVN/src/GameEngine.py", line 791, in run
sys.exit(0)
SystemExit: 0

The log file gives a different output though:

(E) Loading error:Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/usr/local/games/FoFiX-SVN/src/Audio.py", line 118, in getPosition
return pygame.mixer.music.get_pos()
error: mixer system not initialized

I think that this has something to do with "you rock" but I'm not too sure about that.
I also tried with a fresh ini and a single track song, but same output.

Forgot to mention that when trying single track songs it happens at the start and not the end...

Just a little head up.

I have exactly he same issue than Azzco

[imceral25]

I tried trinidude's update and still no problems. I can play multi track song with no problems. The game is also 5x smoother.

Edit: Tested it a bit more but then it just stopped reading multi track songs. I only played RB2 version of Master Exploder and then after that tried it on another song and it didn't work.

[angellinus]

Does it have the rb2 setlist theme?

[trinidude4]

Thanks for the feedback acrox999 and imceral25. I think I can reproduce the problem now.

I can play single track songs normally. I can close the program and open it again and still play.
If I open a multi-track song, I can play it the first time I open fretsonfire.exe and I think I can open other multi-track songs in the same session and play them. Once I close fretsonfire.exe, and re-open it, I can't play any songs until I restart the computer.

I don't know what's causing that problem, but now at least I can try testing out different things to fix it.

[angellinus]

So what to fix?

[holystoneH]

my alpha version is not more working with r650

after i start a song and the start counter is counting down 3,2,1 my game is freezing when its by 1 r643 worked without problem

is there a way to roll back to an older revision to see which one is causing the problem?

edit: found a way to move the revisions back and r643 works fine now ill go up rev for rev to see witch one is causing the problem

edit: i checked every revision from r643 till r650 and till r649 the game runs fine after updating it from r649 to r650 i have the freeze problem it must be a change from r649 to r650

[MarvinPA]

No one has a fix for my problem?

[evilbobthebob]

holystoneH, I have the same problem, thansk for checking the previous revs, I couldn't be bothered Anyway, I've posted it on the google code site so it should be fixed soon enough.

I have maybe the solution for the possibility of playing multiple songs without restarting FoFiX:

1. Download the renamer tool here: http://www.codeplex.com/bulkrename/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ReleaseId=7089
2. Unpack it with WinRar or something similar
3. Open the program in RenameUtility\release\RenameUtility.exe, go to you themes folder and set lowercase and rename it.
4. Open FoFix and play 1 song and try to replay it when you have finished it.

Normally it must work because I think the problem lies in the stages (if you look into your fretsonfire.txt you find that it freezes when it's loading the stages, and I think that it is because FoFix can't load .PNG and .png when it's in the same folder.).

I could play Metallica - One and restart it again.

Hi all, I reinstalled Ubuntu today (I broke it :) ) and reinstalled all the required modules, but when I run from source, I've got no sound at all, no menu sounds, no songs, nothing. When I run the latest beta (not from source) there are no problems so it's not the sound driver.

EDIT:
- Verbose mode output;

~/fofix/src$ python2.4 FretsOnFire.py -v

Nothing wrong there as far as I can see.

- I have the same problem when running the official beta from source, so it's not release related

/EDIT

Any ideas?
