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

[aduro]

not binding things to alt is a pretty good rule of thumb for any game

[myfingershurt]

Translators, new strings to translate:

++Wrote logic to stagger-mix crowd cheering sound files in a loop to create an endless cheering effect for the GameResults screen (a la GH2)
++++New setting under "Audio Options" -> "Results Cheer Loop" (default On) - will mix and endless loop of cheers during game results scoring
++++New setting under "Audio Options" -> "Cheer Loop Delay" (default 800) - this is the adjustable delay between mixing of a fresh crowd cheer into the loop (careful!)

When I've encountered this error, it's been to do with certain key combinations (alt+enter is a good example). It could be a matter of hitting the starpower button while holding specific notes and/or strumming...
It could be an unrelated error with the same result, but I thought I'd mention it in case it helps.

If it was Alt+Enter, then indeed this particular combination locks FoF (Alt+Enter is assigned to fullscreen/window, in Windows), as reported earlier...

I realise this is a known issue, I was just mentioning that it's not just alt+enter (I'm not sure what other combinations at the moment, though) and that it had similar symptoms to those described in the post I was quoting.

Hi everyone!

I just noticed that the links for the two french translations in the home page are "broken" as they just reload the page.

@MFH: Could you make translatable the string " on the world starpower chart!" please ? Because I encouter a problem when i want to translate the scores uploads strings :
line 401 in GameResultsScene.py :

Code: Select all

font.render(_("Scores uploaded! ...your highscore ranks #" + result[1] + " on the world starpower chart!"), (.05, .7 + v), scale = 0.001)

I tried this way :

Code: Select all

font.render(_("Scores uploaded! ...your highscore ranks #") + result[1] + _(" on the world starpower chart!")), (.05, .7 + v), scale = 0.001)

but the game freeze when i complete a song.

Besides i saw that you replaced all string comparisons for bass and drums by boolean function, does it mean that the difficulties translation issue is partially solved ?

all string comparisons for bass and drums DURING GAMEPLAY... so no.


edit: Evilynux is about to set up an SVN server on sf.net or googlecode, and we're thinking this mod needs a good name - this is the time to rename it. I only changed the name before to avoid confusion as to who was actually working on the project, and I don't mind leaving it named "MFH Mod," but if there are any good suggestions for a new name we might use one instead.

So far, evilynux suggested "FretsOnFireOnFire" FoFoF. :)

---- EDIT ----

post to get people's attention from tracker emails... deleting

Neat, posting when you have the last post results in an automatic edit.

Translators - more strings to translate for 3.020: (updated)

_("Scores uploaded!")
_("your highscore ranks")
_("on the world starpower chart!")
_("unknown rank.")
_("no new highscore.")
_("Score upload failed! World charts may be down.")

[evilynux]

Unless there are any other good name suggestions, we'll go forward with FoFoF on code.google.com...

How about FOFU

Frets on Fire Unlimited

The Unlimited Addition signifies the varying theming and gameplay aspects of this mod.

[Azzco]

Someone mentioned community mod a while back. Personally I think a name without the word "mod" would be good. Frets On Fire: Xenomorphic, It's still fof but not the same old shape we used to know. ;) Was thinking that having "FoX" would be nice to type instead of FoF (also a bit cuter with a animal name). FoFoF isn't as friendly to type and will most likely not look good on a logo.

We need more name suggestions. :)

[evilynux]

While i do like both suggestions (FoF Unlimited and FoF Xenomorphic) i've a little preference for the second one.
I would suggest that we use the acronym FoFiX tho as FoX, unfortunatly, doesn't exactly match.

IMHO, FoFiX makes a great acronym. It's catchy, FiX has many meanings, and reading FoFiX out loud may make Quebeckers laugh.

[myfingershurt]

I like FoFiX too -- this is good, keep 'em coming. We'd like to get the new SVN server set up today.

---- EDIT ----

BTW - the new SVN server will also provide good, reliable webspace to replace the current server that keeps going down. We'll have a reliable, organized web presence.

[worldrave]

how about 'frets extreme',or 'frets on fire ^2'{squared} since its so much more now,only the original concept still exists at this point. 'frets on fire:internal combustion', 'frets on fire:Unity'

[Happ E Nose]

Or how about a total new name, nothing to do with FoF. lol

[evilynux]

Ok, things are getting in shape.
We've settled for FoFiX whatever the X may mean...

I'll post again once we (MFH and I) have completed the migration and basic setup.

[edu_dudu]

Alarian should have an option for when you select a song, you can select the song with crowd (if exist) or no crowd to play rock band 2 songs!!

[baseballplayinty]

MFH has a juggler for that. Its in the first post
