FoFiX v3.1xx development thread

[death_au]

I mean frame by frame all it says is Stage Rotation: [Random]/ Default/ Blank it doesn't ask for the folder or anything.

I can´t find the manual fretboard-speed settings, did you remove that?

I believe these options both become visible again when you turn "advanced options" on.

As far as I know, Rock Band stops the draining of your overdrive whenever you whammy a long overdrive note, so it is not considered a handicap because it is also used in the original game. I'll find a video of proof later.

(discalimer: I don't have Rock Band).
I believe that even with whammy saves SP off, your overdrive will stop (or at least slow) draining if you whammy a long overdrive note in an overdrive phrase (because whammying gives +overdrive, -draining = nil change). However there used to be a bug where you could whammy on non-overdrive notes in an overdrive phase and still slow the draining. It was "fixed" and made an option (which turned into a handicap)
Please someone correct me if any of that is inaccurate.

Uninstall the game and gtfo you little piece of s***.

That was uncalled for.
Okay, so he wasn't right to bag the devs like he did, but there's at least two posts of his above yours where he apologised and realised his error.

Hey is there any way to change the song that always plays at the main menu? Or make it random? Or something?

It's up to the themes to do that. Or you can put your own ogg files in the data/themes/<themename>/sounds folder with the name "menu_<whatevertheheckyouwant>.ogg". They'll always play in a random order.

P.S. Sorry for long post... had a lot to reply to

Ok, first of all, I'm new here. Hope this is the right place to post, I'm sometimes lost in the maze of mods and name.

I'd like to throw my hat off for the awesomeness of FoFix/Alarian. I've played quite a bit and noticed three quirks so far so I thought I'd drop them here for info.

The first one concerns the drum's lefty mode. When playing lefty, you need the inversion of the notes coming down but *not* the drum pad inversion. If you play a guitar you will use it upside down but with the drums, you do not flip the kit... although that would be funny :). It's totally playable by reversing the drum assignment but if you want to switch between lefty/not lefty because you play with friends, it's kind of ennoying.

The second one is I noticed the white notes desapear if you miss a note, even tho you didn't really reach the beginning of the white notes yet. As far as I know, the situation is different in RB.

The third one is that drum navigation works but only once you went to solo submenu. It doesn't work at the top level.

Hope that was the right place to dump it, let me know if you need any additional informations.

Thanks for the amazing work
M.

Go to your FoF folder --> Data --> themes --> The theme you use --> sound. Once there you should notice a few called menu*.ogg (like menuAlive.ogg menueAnyWayYouWantIt.ogg etc). I'm expecting that you only have one if its always the same. If you want I can upload the Rock Band 2 ones or you can make your own.

A quick stupid question. I don't wanna play with phrases on (50 note streak, SP ready etc.). So it has obviously changed name to something else... as I didn't find it and couldn't figure out what it could be?!

[evilbobthebob]

It's in Display Settings->In-Game Display Settings->Show In-Game Text. Then choose 'Off'

[Italo_Hellboy]

I'm having this issue too.

[nefarious]

Something I've noticed and not just this version of FoFiX but in others as well; I have ran xp sp3, vista and windows 7 (not all at once) on this machine same hardware same settings and on xp sp3 after a little bit the game will become all choppy and I'll have to close it and re-open it but that never happened to me on vista or on windows 7.

Anyone have an idea what could be causing this problem? Notice after checking affinity that it's only using a single core but after manually setting it to use both it didn't make a difference.

I play in fullscreen 1680x1050 (8800GT 22in LCD) rest is default on lower resolutions and windows mode it'll still happen but not as quick as before.

*edit* going back to 3.030 because it ran a bit better.

[Halvor]

sorry the long time for reply..

Try changing the sort method. Go into Options>Setlist and choose another sort type. That might help.

yes.. it works.. o/

And please let us know which sort method causes the crash you posted, Halvor -- I just took a look at the indicated section of code and nothing obviously wrong popped out at me.

u fix that in r1082 but..
for crash i enter in music list and change shot method with whammy bar... after the first crash i cant enter in song list again.. return error i post above..

thx guys!!

[NirvanaManiac19]

i mean whenever i go to full screen mode it just restarts and goes back to no full screen mode please help i said this also as an issue on FoFix project site

Just a quick note to warn alpha testers that current SVN version can fail to run.
This is partly because of issue 350 where i'm trying to find something that works for any python/pyopengl versions.

Basically, i'm optimizing opengl code for the transition to pyopengl3.x hence converting direct rendering mode (glBegin/glEnd) to array-based drawing. Array based drawing theoretically works with either 1) native python lists, 2) Numeric arrays or 3) numpy arrays.

1) is slower (at leasts that's what is said in the docs) but should work in every case
2) is suppose to work w/ both pyopengl2.x and pyopengl3.x. It's the case with my machines but isn't for at least one person.
3) requires a new dependency on numpy as it's not currently required.

I'd rather go with 3) but i don't know how much pain that would infer to Windows users.
The main reason being that when jumping to py2.5+pyopengl3.x we should move from Numeric to numpy.
Some have brought up possible audio issues with numpy [compared to Numeric] but iirc i managed to fix that (as well as getting completely rid of unmaintained PyOGG and PyVorbis) in the python2.5-experimental branch.

Any input from the active devs (e.g. MFH, Qstick, Akedrou, JohnStumpo, etc.) would be great. (Feel free to comment directly in issue 350).

Ok thanks, I can come up with something. A nice setup option would be let us choose a) theme menu track or b) user-selected track from the song library, or c) random track from song library. But knowing where it is lets me do anything I want, so I'm happy. Thanks.
