to create a .ini file (it's extremely simple)
you right click a blank space, select create new text document (or rich text document) and when it creates the file fill the name in with <filename>.ini (NOTE: the name does not need to be filename that was meant to show you enter whatever name you'd like - in your case "song.ini" - no quotes)
something will pop up saying "OMG YOU BASTARD YOU'RE CHANGING THE FILETYPE AND IT WILL BE UNSTABLE!!!11!"
just ignore it and click okay.
so it should now look like a text document with a gear on it. Then open it and enter whatever it is you need to enter
for your case, you'll need this:
[song]
name =
artist =
frets =
cassettecolor =
what each line is:
[song] - tells frets on fire it's loading a song
name = - you will fill in the song name after the = sign
artist = - you will fill in the song artist's name after the = sign.
frets = - you will fill in your name after the = sign
cassetecolor = - you will put in the hex color code after the = sign (go
Here to choose what color and copypaste the code)
also if you want to make a CD label or cassette label for your song, you need a label.png (theres a tutorial on how to make one in here somewhere but that's optional)
this is how it will look in FoF if the .ini file looks like this:
[song]
name = this song
artist = this artist
frets = jmt391
cassettecolor = #000000
when you look at the song, the cd/cassette will be black
when you load it it will say this:
this song
by: this artist
fretted by: jmt391
also note that when you play a song, FoF adds a few lines to that .ini file such as count, and scores.
if it says count = 5, that means you've played the song 5 times and it will say so when you are selecting a song. (im sure you've noticed this)
and the scores is the line that stores all the scores you've gotten. (there may be more than one but they all save some type of score data)
remember to delete both of these lines when you release the song, because nobody wants to do it themselves. This way everybody gets a fresh song with none of your scores and stuff
