@NBSRDan
I copy the image in Frets on Fire\data\themes\Guitar Hero III\stages\stage23.png
And paste in Frets on Fire\data\songs\Black Sabbath - Into the Void
I tried but it did not work, can you explain in more detail for me? Thanks!

It's been so long since I've poured through the menu structure, but I believe there may be an option in the settings somewhere as well.

Don't quote me on that, though.

@Lys, I think there is an option in the settings.
@OP, try looking somewhere in the stages settings.

stage.png, not stage23.png.

You also need to make sure that Options > Display Settings > Stages Options > Song Stage: is set to <On>

That's what I was thinking of. Good catch.

Oh really? I've only seen it named "background.png", I guess you learn something new everyday :).

T3HM3T4L:I've tried to sign up for Rock Band but they just won't allow me. They keep complaining I have to 'be over 18' while I've already been 18 for over half a year, and a sign up where I noted I was born in the '50s STILL GAVE ME THAT MESSAGE

So if anyone could help me get these templates, I'd very much appreciate it. I need it to edit notes and stuff for my Rock Band 2.

aander91:Sorry, but that'd be providing for minors, which is illegal.

T3HM3T4L:But I'm 18 years old... ?

aander91:Nope. Sorry.

T3HM3T4L:Nono, you're getting me wrong, I was asking how come I am still considered a minor?

aander91:Look, we can't just go out giving these things away to people who just say they're over 18 and show no proof, we'd be out of a job.

T3HM3T4L:Nevermind, I'll use EoF for it, I found the way I could use it for that.

OK guy I got it, one more question! There is some way to put an animated background for each song? The little I've read, I did not find anything like that!

I think support for full video is still in development, planned for FoFiX 4.0.
For now, the only way to get an animated background is to put a sequence of PNG files in the song folder. I'm not sure what you're supposed to name them; probably stage1.png, stage2.png, etc.

Unless you have r2038. Then you can install GStreamer and stuff. It should work.

It's not exactly the most user friendly thing in the world, either. Since, you know, it's a development version.

And let's not forget, Slashfan, people should not use development versions just to play with new features. They should use them in order to test and break the game, so that new versions may be released, and with better stability.

*sigh*
