FoFiX 4.0.0 Development Thread

[Lysdestic]

Dude, get with the times, we're already running Python 4.0.

I jest, I jest.

[death_au]

is the fofix development thinking about move tho python 2.7 or 3.1.1?

I believe it is being considered, but python 2.7 is only in alpha, so we'll see what happens when it gets closer to release.
From my understanding, python 3 is an entirely different beast though. That's not to say it won't be moved up to 3 in the future, but for now it's just not feasible.

[Death_97]

so will video backgrounds work on 3.121?

I lol'd.
@Death97 : No.

thanks for your answers

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PyOpenGL-accelerate

i want to use that in fofix compilign but when i install the accelerate the game doesnt open i remove the accelerate and run normal..

Is it possible to move solotext2.png somewhere else? I don't like it to be at the center. I want to move it somewhere else. Tried solotext_xPos and solotext_yPos didn't work.

Graphical submenus like the solo menu work a little differently than you expect:

solotext2 = XPos, YPos, scale, vspacing

Don't know if it makes a difference, but I got my 'accellerate' from sourceforge: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyopengl/files/
What does your log say when FoFiX doesn't open?

that is thje error when i use acelerate

Well, after posting this, I remembered the Wiki mentioned about this. Glad someone willing to write that wiki.

[max_rodolfo]

help me please i wan to use opengl acelerate in fofix 4.0 fofix 3.121 have it and work fine

[death_au]

It sounds like something might be wrong with your numpy. Or accellerate uses a different version than you or something.
I apologize, as I'm not too great with getting the modules organized, but I'd update my numpy first to see if that's a problem.

Guys Thank you for 3.121!

I am so happy now. I found it yesterday and tryed out immediately!
While I had 10-20 fps at an FB song in 640x480 in 3.120 (quite a shame!), I managed to get 30-40fps in 1280x1024 in 3.121!
What an amazing optimization fix!
OH god now FoFiX runs totally smoothly with any options! This is just awesome!

Thank you, Thank you sooo much!!

One problem remains though. Playing with Fraps.
it runs at 25-30 fps and if it lags even to 25fps sometimes, the audio track is being delayed more and more on the recorded video.
That's just terrible... And doesn't solve the problem when I replace the audio with an mp3...
fraps sucks :( I cannot make a video to upload on youtube.

FRAPS doesn't suck. Your computer just isn't powerful enough to run it based on your settings. Try playing in lower resolution/gfx/etc in FoFiX, and try some of the less demanding recording options.
