Split screen multiplayer "RF-Mod-Mod"
I've hacked a rudimentary split-screen multiplayer mode onto RF-mod v2. (Thanks Rogue_F for the tutorial).
Here's a screenshot :
There are a few caveats:
I don't really know anything about Python, so it's safe the say the resulting code is unsightly and is probably slow as hell
It looks ok on my widescreen monitor, but it will probably very squashed on a 4:3
I haven't done a lot of testing. In particular, having no chums to hand, I haven't even been able to test if the two players can pick at the same time! They probably can though.
DOWNLOAD HERE. Enjoy! (It installs just the same as RF-mod. probably best to backup your old exe and library.dat, oh and there's an option under settings -> game to enable it)

I'm happily suprised. You got Multiplayer to work , maybe. I'm guessing you just plug in a second keyboard/joystick/guitar and set all that up in control panel. I also don't have anyone to try this out with, but I'll see what I can come up with in the next few days.
I've tested it and the only snag I hit was when I was trying to exit a song in "Single Player" mode. I hit "Quit to main menu" and got an error, but it fixed itself the second time I hit quit.
Other than that it looks great. The scores look a little misplaced (maybe put 1P on the far left and 2P on the far right next version?), but I got passed it.
Thanks!

Goodbye everyone. It's been fun. I spent many many hours here on these boards and playing/contributing to FoF. Today I uninstalled my game and deleted all my files. I just don't have the time or interest anymore. I won't be coming back here anymore. I might show up in the IRC from time to time to chat. I regret nothing.
So long, farewell.

Wow man, it's very nice. I tried it and everything seems to work...you should have seen me trying to pick on the keyboard and on the guitar controller at the same time!!! hahah but anyway, it seems to work fine. It's really surprising to see that somebody finally did it. For ppl wondering, you can select different instrument tracks like for a GH2 song and different difficulty levels. It wasnt laggy at all on my machine but I have a good one.
One bug though is in the key settings...I get this message "Player 2 key left" at the end of the menu. But anyway, it's really really interesting! thanks!

Multiplayer only works with songs that have a bass or rythme track. Thats why only GH2 songs work, and the very few custom ones that have more tracks
I'm gonna try this mod out now.

It worked with all the GH1 tracks just I tried.
Also, myself and my sister have found that there is a glitch preventing both players from strumming at the same time.
We were only able to hit notes the other missed.
Looks incredibly promising.

It's only a virtue if you're not a screwup.

I started from the original source files, with the RF-mod diffs applied, however when trouble shooting it seems some parts of the diffs didn't go through, so I'm not completely sure.
Thanks for the comments everybody. I'll have a go at some of these bugs tonight. That it doesn't work at all on some songs is embarrassing!
