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

[worldrave]

@Evilynux
I can confirm that. It's also doing it for me, but using my GH3 theme. It starts below his name, and as it's going up the screen it slowly passes ahead on above his name before going off the top of the screen, like in the video. And i'm not using 'Blazingamer's v3.010' patch either, only 3.005 and all your patches to date.
BTW- So far no BSOD

[evilynux]

I am not using blazingamer's 3.010...

Edit: @worldrave:
hmm... i can't debug something i can't reproduce :-/

[worldrave]

I wouldn't worry about it. It's credits anyway and not really a big deal. We can always try debugging that later to figure what difference cause that. No biggie.

Yay, my first post here!

First of all, thanks for the amazing mod you've created (and to all who have helped in some way).

A couple of questions:

1) Death Magnetic songs take looooong to load; anya idea what's causing this? (Besides they have lots of notes?)

2) Some songs show difficulty levels they don't have, and they load with only one note. Can you fix this or is it because of the songs?

I'm using version 3.005 with GH3 theme.

[The Smell]

I can answer number 2. They are called fake notes and are put there so that they can be put into Guitar Hero without errors via Custom Discs. (Correct me if I'm wrong.) Ignore the fake difficulties and play on the level the song was made for.

Okay evilynux, I can't seem to put the sp lights code in correctly for some reason, it comes out weird with pluses and minus so I have to edit those out and it still comes out funky. Could you just pm me all the code you edited straight from the .py's you have instead of those. I'll be sure to include them in the next fix then.

[keyboard_samurai]

Thanks for a quick reply.

Sometimes they're kinda annoying when I can't recall which are the real deal. :/

@blazingamer

the "-" is the line that is going to be replaced, the "+" is the line that replaces it

when you copy the line of code highlight everything but the +

also the @@ number represents the line of code being handled

edit: nice job btw

@ evilynux, i'm still getting an occasional hang (bsod), but not the one i described to you. plus it seems less frequent to me

bsod going from main menu to song library and from difficulty select to loading screen

Can't play this mod anymore, it's gotten too demanding for my poor little computer

That's sad man. My computer is an old computer. I just run in windowed for safety.

Alarian - use the Megalight theme and turn off features (like font shadowing and lyrics and hit accuracy meter and in-game stars and stats) until it's playable... pretty much all the new stuff is optional.


evilynux - I tried this patch to load the songlist in a synchronous manner. It did not completely stop the blackSOD when entering the songlist but it did seem to occur a lot less. It also prevents the loading screen from appearing when loading a song folder with a lot of songs. Overall, though, an improvement. I think the "synch = True" parameter should be the default for the game's loader function -- all the graphics files are loaded asynchronously in every scene. When I get another chance to test I'll experiment with that.


Also, for the new Rock Band 2 songs, cama's been packaging them with a song.ogg (without crowd singalong mixed in) and a song+crowd.ogg -- I wrote two quick functions in my old Career Resetter app that lets you select a folder to search through, and it mass enables / disables the mixed-in crowd singalongs (making backups of song.ogg where appropriate). If anyone's interested I can post it up.

Awesome work here. Would it be possible to add the GH3 style HOPO system?

God, I'm sick of hearing this request. Do you even know what the GH3 HOPO system consists of, or how it would be different? Or are you just asking because GH3 is newer than GH2 and therefore MUST be better? -.-

In short, no. Also, I see no reason for it. GH2's HOPO system is appropriate for this game and the way its songs are fretted. And that is the end of that.

in response to your ealier post about the crowd, sounds preaty cool
