And hello everyone,

You must have heard this a few times before around here I guess, but I will go on anyway.
I've been working on a rewrite in c++ on frets-on-fire and finally I have something to show for it.

It can be currently found at:
http://code.google.com/p/fretscpp/
open source of course, windows and linux (ubuntu 10) executables included, but there's a chance you need to download extra DLLs.
(I'm not sure which, as I had everything already installed, but if you tell me I will include them in the next release)

I would be glad to hear someone actually managed to build from source:
- windows might be challenging, I did it with DevCpp with downloaded devpaks, and currently some minor changes are necessary to the sources
- linux should be straightforward if you have Ubuntu (make ubudeps will try to install the dependencies: will need to sudo) then just "make" should produce the executable)

O.O

I can't run it, but I wasn't expecting to be able to.

Good luck with this though! This would allow FoFix to be used on other machines as well, right?

[radu124]

:(
Any idea why? I could try to fix it...

[aander91]

Told me some .DLL was missing. I can't check it atm though. Sorry.

I started listing the missing dlls. But the second one gave me issues

[radu124]

Sorry for those, should have thought about it.
I uploaded a new version including the DLLs.

[aander91]

It runs now. Very nice, although none of my songs sync up, even with delay added to the .ini.

This could go places.

[amak11]

Wow, almost like the the original. I like your progress on it. Keep going you are doing a great job!

hmmm trying to get this to work in ubuntu 10.04 i get this error every time. I installed all the dependencies listed... But it seems something is missing...

sorry, i'm pretty noobish when it comes to these things.

Oops,
64-bit machine eh?
just found out.
it should work if you just comment out that line (line 60 in songsdb.cpx,
just delete it or add // at the beginning of the line)

[ADH]

oh ok, i tried a few different things none of them worked, shoulda know to just comment it out... thanks. i'll try it

EDIT: it works wonderfully... the only problem that i have with this is it doesn't seem to support pov hats? (no strum bar)
other than that this looks amazing... good job

[radu124]

Can you give me more details?
On Joysticks/gamepads/guitars (made my own guitars :), they cost more than the originals) I currently only support buttons (which give you an on-off signal) I didn't look into supporting the (analog sort-of) input I think you're referring to (the ones which have a continuous range).
I saw on some devices they have a button to set how you want the device to act, they can produce either the on-off signal like the button press or the continuous one.
I will look into it, but I don't promise anything for the near future.

a'ha
it seems I was wrong. the hat does not have the continuous input type, it's more like a button.
This should be easy to fix.

Wow runs nice but my songs are WAY out of sync.

[drihscol]

okay, now do fofix =P

yeah, idk about other guitars, but on both guitars that I have (Ps3 Les Paul and Xbox 360 Xplorer) The strum bar is actually registered the same as the D-Pad up and down arrows. Ya, it's like a button hopefully it will be easy to get working for ya
