Guitar Hero III Theme -=[For FoFiX]=-

[catfish08]

Said Stuff.

Wow, the amount of detail you put into everything is insane! I would love to see a theme created by you, and you only. Not based of anything either. That would be pretty damn sweet. Oh, just one question, I'm do you use photoshop? I'm guessing that you do lol.

Keep up the good work

[worldrave]

Thanks even more. LOL. Yeah i use Photoshop CS4. I just redid the background again after thinking about it. Since i now have the ripped video's from GH3 as of recently, i might as well just use one of the frames from it, since it's HQ 1280x720, and just add the "Loading" to it using my previous layers from the PSD. I will leave the older image in the theme SVN so you have a choice "loadingbg-older.png". Will show pictures in a few minutes, after a quickly tweak the theme settings for the new image.

Edit- Ok, how's THIS for almost perfect?? Tweaked a little further the line spacing and positioning of the text over a little, using new made screen. Other then again the shadowing i can't do, and i'll in time edit the font AGAIN to make the letters a little more condensed in width, it should BE perfect. This is final for now though.

Just a question out of pure curiosity, why can't you do the shadowing? From my limited understanding, the shadowing is done in code by rendering the text black, then rendering the text white over the top. If I'm correct in that assumption, then shouldn't it be possible to add some sort of "shadow offset" variable, where you render the black text at the current text position + offset? Of course, I'm just rambling on without reference to what the code actually does. Just throwing the idea out there.

I haven't used this theme in awhile; want a change from RB themes but not sure about something. Can I go from 3.0 full right to 3.20 cause your instructions say to overwrite 3.15 which isn't listed anywhere.

Requirements: 'FoFiX 3.1 Rev.967+' Minimum
And also GH3 Full Release 3.0 Above
then Overwrite 3.20 files over Release 3.15

[worldrave]

Oh, yeah. That's just something i missed when i updated the last release. I'll change that. Glad you noticed that.

[catfish08]

Hey worldrave, I've used your new graphical menus in my Victorian theme as a template, I hope that's ok. And don't worry, you will be fully credited if it is

[worldrave]

Sure, that's ok with me. Glad your still working on it. Looks cool.

That's exactly what I did. I could add support for shadow offset, shouldn't be too hard.

I have this theme in FoFiX 3.20 (newest) and it wont work. What is Rev.967? it reloads and is still the megalight theme...

[Hiasl]

Download FoFiX 3.100.

[gori666]

What's the Rev.967? I've installed fofix 3.100, put the theme in game, and it works, but there is something realy wrong in the fofix co-op:

[worldrave]

@Blazingamer
Man, that would be really nice if you added an offset. Then it would look almost perfect for that screen. And thank you for doing that.

Hi guys,

I don't actually know if this is a bug, or just something that GH3 does (I never played the official gh3), but installing the theme 3.20 (yes, over 3.0), on the release of FoFiX 3.10, gives me no visible indication of sustains. I noticed that with FoFiX in it's megalight gh3 theme the sustain lines are very thin in comparison with rfmod or fof original, but in your gh3 theme they seem to be completely nonexistant.

I can live with it, it makes it a bit harder that way, but wondered if it was a setting I missed?

Also, probably an FoFiX bug but I've noticed on certain loads of the game, the guitar track (that I'm playing) gets loaded gets somehow "out of sync" with the rest of the audio. Makes things sound very wierd and appears to happen by the track starting to play before the 3 2 1 numbers appear.

Any advice appreciated.

I don't know about the first problem, but the second one with the out of sync song was already posted as Issue 520 and will be fixed in the next milestone release.

[worldrave]

I would recommend double-checking your installed, versions and all. Looking at this picture i JUST took, sustains are clearly working fine. Unless i am not understanding your meaning of SUSTAINS, in that case please ellaborate a little more. Else, double-check you properly installed both current versions and also you may want to consider using SVN's of both this theme as well as FoFiX. Reason being, you will ALWAYS be up to date, and always be able to use new functions and fixes on the spot. It's worth it. Clear instructions can be found on the FoFiX wiki which can be found at the FoFiX link in my sign.



Also, here's a screenshot of Blazingamer's new shadow offset code for Loading Screen font.
Loading screen is now finished, other then video background support in time. (An yes, i already have the video waiting for that.)
