well 1st off, that nonstum feature u speak of is called "HOPO"

2nd off, ure probably used to the new FoF but the new fof has it INCORRECT and this is CORRECT. the hopo featured in RF mod 3.5 is just like the one in guitar hero. it is correct. FoF isnt

so u fixed the problem and didnt create it.

[Rogue_F]

in fast HOPO sections it is hard to restart. If you look at the TODO list you will see something there for that. But it's nothing really wrong with it. it's just hard to restart in a fast HOPO. It's a function of the fast part.

If i had a HOPO restart fudge (not sure how to do that) it would probably constitute something that may affect scoring. And I don't want to affect scoring.

[whatakevin]

well all the HOPO features effect scoring. just think about it, would u get a higher score with or without hopo?

also our goal is currently "guitar hero" im pretty sure its easy to reset HOPO in the middle of a fast section in GH

[Rogue_F]

No, it's not.

-Alex

[whatakevin]

well this is the RF mod i find the least bugs in. im looking forward to these in 4.0

-2 note down HOPO fix
-auto BPM
-random song, roulette (like in DDR, and stepmania)
-most played songs folder, etc
-more meaty goodness off ure todo list

[syberdave]

Here's something for the TODO list:

I want to play the game by hooking up a real guitar. RF-Mod can have something that listens in on the audio-in port and decides which notes are being played. That'd be sweet.

[whatakevin]

ok thats a bit far, longshot... i dont think that would ever happen, if u want to play with real guitar, go get some sheet music

more things
-in game editor sync sound that u speak of
-toggle for light effect in new FoF (to go with notes, beat, or off)

[syberdave]

Yeah, I wasn't too serious.

[Rogue_F]

Well, I think I got the crash worked out in the new sources so I can start working on 4.0

(bad versions of pyogg and pyvorbis)

I will hopefully be posting a updated version of the setting up sources document soon.

-Alex

[whatakevin]

ohhh yea, prehapps make it so we dont need to make new notes (like this version, the automatic blue HOPO dot of doom =)). and turn the notes back so we dont have the coins of doom...

[R4L]

you say too much whatakevin. you've probably added 100 things to alex's todo list.

I just want to see the same things that were in 3.0 added to the new fof.

[whatakevin]

probably have. at least they are things worthy enough to get onto that list.

[Vilkku]

I posted many pages back about a problem I had, without getting any response. Time for a new try =)

After updating from RF-mod 3.2 (I think) to 3.5, Frets on Fire does not work anymore. When starting, it reports that there were errors and closes fretsonfire.exe. Here is the info from the log:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "FretsOnFire.py", line 69, in ?

Thanks for a great mod.
