MFH-Alarian Mod v2.900 - New releases here!

[Azzco]

Aww man. We need to convert wav files to ogg files.

yes...
but after we can make the sounds directly from rb or gh and then we will be only one format, so no need to bother to know the format for the file in the "sounds" folder ..........!

Sorry I'm not sure if I understand. After release of version 3.0? import the sounds directly from gh/rb into what format?

So no need to bother...I'm clueless on what you mean by this..

Well MFH you said something about the song's folder needs to be in all lowercase... well.. Almost all the rockband songs, Guitar Hero songs have have a capitol letter, which means, I'll have to edit all 1000 something songs to make them all lowercase?

No.... Frets on Fire data files and folders need to be lowercase. Theme foldernames and song foldernames and neck filenames and stage filenames don't have to be lowercase (but .png extensions do, as always).

Just wait for the 3.000 release. It will demonstrate by example.

edit: release files are uploading.... but I am on a slow connection. And may have to restart some of these uploads. Hopefully release = tonight.

theres plenty of apps out there that will rename every file/folder and in subdirectories to lower case in a single click. no i dont have the name of any offhand but ive used them before.

edit: screw it it took 1 second to google search "bulk rename lowercase". heres one that will do it http://www.programmerworld.net/sourcecode/bulkrename.php

note not all files:

IMPORTANT differences between 2.9xx and 3.0xx that MUST be followed:
=====Filenames and folders are, for the most part, all lowercase now. We needed a common naming convention, it was chaos before with capital letters tossed in wherever.
=======(These files do not change case: FretsOnFire.exe, MSVCR71.dll, doc\*.*, SDL.dll, SDL_image.dll, SDL_mixer.dll, SDL_ttf.dll, _GL.pyd, and _GLU.pyd)
=======Theme foldernames and song foldernames and neck filenames and stage filenames don't have to be lowercase (but .png extensions do, as always).
=====Renamed "crunchX.wav" to "selectX.wav" for clarity (these 3 SFX are randomly played as you change the highlighted item in a menu)
=====Renamed all Guitar screw up sounds from fibaX.wav to guitscwX.wav
=====Renamed all Bass screw up sounds from bfibaX.wav to bassscwX.wav
=====All .wav files have been compressed to .ogg files. We needed a common sound file format, and this reduces space taken (they all load into memory at startup anyway).

Thanks

Sweet so expect the 3.0 release tonight? that's awesome. I tested your latest beta and renamed my themes and such. It worked fine. No bugs.

[Gordon8452]

Can we start a new thread for 3.0?
Edit: I meant more of when its released can we start a new thread, since this one is 525 pages long, wasnt meant as a question about release.
