Re: FoFiX 4.0.0 Development Thread
Intro videos have been working for quite awhile now actually.
As a heads up for something other than videos, if you people haven't been following the extensive theme customizability, ready for alpha will be quite a few handy things (or at least I thought they'd be handy)
-Rockmeters are a whole lot easier to design, manage, and customize compared to how it was last year
-Notes, frets, board, etc. now have consistant names, meaning no more drum_fretboard or drum_center_lines, instead it's just called center_lines.png and you throw the files into their appropriate folders (Notes>drums or Board>drums). This can also be done with bass, so now bass parts can have their own notes and frets too.
-Stage.ini has been reimplemented, now all the stages from classic fof like Raph's GHII stage will work again. Just put all the files into the stage folder in the theme (this means stage backgrounds are now in the "backgrounds" folder instead of stage folder
If you're confused at how a lot of this is done, just check the MegaLight V4 folder as it's the most complete version. Seeing that the rockmeter code is not 100% done yet I do not recommend converting 3.x RB and GH themes for 4.x just yet. I'm spending time tweaking the rockmeter.ini for the classic MegaLights that come with FoFiX to help with the migration process.

Re: FoFiX 4.0.0 Development Thread
So can we use the stages light like in the vanilla FoF? Or the whole vanilla FoF theme(I doubt this, because the theming is entirely different but it'd be a good thing if you could bring the old modding)?

Re: FoFiX 4.0.0 Development Thread
Version 4.0.0 alpha 1 has been released.
Downloads are available on FoFiX's Google Code site.
There is a lot of work still remaining to be done for 4.0.0, but this alpha will let you preview and check out what has been done so far.
Have fun!
(Themers: Be aware that since we're still in the alpha stage, we may still make non-backward-compatible changes to how theming works as further development occurs.)

Re: FoFiX 4.0.0 Development Thread
I made only a few setting changes from the defaults: Change to quality graphics preset, set my song folder, set controller two to disabled and create a keyboard input guitar controller with keys A,S,D,F,Spacebar,Enter,Pg Dn. When I went to quick play, it made me create a profile, and right at the point where I started to navigate on that screen, it immediately crashed:
Edit: On my second try, I deleted the fofix folder from %appdata% and only change the song folder path and made my keyboard based guitar controller profile. I exited FoFiX to ensure those changes would be kept. This time, it allowed me to go into solo quick play and create a new profile. After that, it hung for a little bit, then after hitting enter, I ended up on a create profile for player 4 screen and another crash:

Wow you just blew my mind. I was going to clone the git repo, but you just released an alpha version of it. Guess I dont have to go for the trouble to install all the dependecies. :P

Yes, acrox, that's exactly what I meant. All stages and stage effects from vanilla FoF work again and can be per themed.

If you were thinking about setting git up, I think you may as well do it anyway, in case you ever want to get some change we make without having to wait for the next alpha. (Though we are going to try to release alphas much more frequently now.)

Remember that this is only an alpha.

Re: FoFiX 4.0.0 Development Thread
Sorry to ask this, but is there any decent theme (RB or GH, for example) that works with this 4.0.0 alpha build?
Thanks!
Thanks!

You might check out Fuzion 4X
Anyways, nice work fellas. I did have a few jumps here and there, but nowhere near as bad as the py2.6 builds of 3.121. Overall it was a pretty good experience :).

Re: FoFiX 4.0.0 Development Thread
Unfortunately, Fuzion 4X doesn't work, neither RB2 and GH3. Maybe this build doesn't work with any theme except the ones that come with it.
Re: FoFiX 4.0.0 Development Thread
Fuzion theme + Fofix 4.0.0. = BRUTALITY TO THE X-TREME!!!
This is an early christmas lol thank you everyone who contributed...
