i noticed that this is supposed to boost performance...... but does that mean you need a better computer to actually enjoy said boosts?? or does it just run smoother and better on all systems because that's how you made it??

Performance should scale relative to the price and age of your hardware... just like any other game.

also, i saw something mentioned about issues distinguishing HOPO's..... well, people identify with colors faster than anything else... so i (as a long time player of gh, fof, rb) suggest (if possible) to kinda steal gh's idea for a white capped ho/po note..... either that or something brighter, or a slightly different color on those notes all together such as a lighter shade.... if it's not possible, i understand.... i've no idea what i'm talking about other than suggesting something from a player's point of view... this looks quite promising and in the future, could even replace my GH3 theme.....

I don't miss HOPOs. None of the people I test with at home have any problems either. I think I'll leave the notes the way they are for now, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

All kinds of changes today. Most important being the ability to compile the custom modules for your platform.
I provided binary files for Python 2.7 on win32. All other platforms should have a look at the README for instructions.

I get this error " 'None Type' Is Not iterable object " that after I select the song and the difficulty ... when they are supposed to load the graphics ...

Update FoFiX and 4x. You'll need to install Cython and run 4x/setup.py build_ext if you aren't running python 2.7 on Windows.
Vocals aren't working with the rockmeter.ini right now, so if you have a mic set up you'll need to replace the rockmeter.ini with a blank file or just disable the mic.

Update: Added Dark Fire branch - viewtopic.php?f=32&t=47434&p=527413#darkfire

Dark Fire is a branch of 4x that aims to recreate the appearance of the Dark Fire FretsOnFire Forum stylesheet.

Update - Added Template Branch

http://github.com/fuzion/4x/tree/Template

This 4x template theme contains a stripped down version of 4x with custom modules taken from default theme variables.
Feel free to use it if you want to start working on a theme with custom modules but don't feel like doing any real work.

CustomLobby.py
CustomParts.py
CustomSetlist.py
CustomTheme.py

That's a good idea. Gets people a leg up when they have no idea what they're doing.

no keyboard part?

I am so curious about the recent develpments in the 4x and especially this theme that I am seriously thinking about compiling it myself. However, seems to be a bit complicated (with the guide which can be found here). I wonder, if one could compile it (for test purposes only) for me, so I do not have to make the complicated procedure on my own and then provide the compiled files. I would really appreciate that. No further support requests from my side...I guarantee. Would this be possible? Dunno if it is important, but just for the sake of completeness: I use Windows 7, 64 Bit.

With best regards from Bochum...

There's going to be compiling necessary to run FoFiX itself from git soon, so you may as well get yourself set up for that now.

It's not as difficult as it looks.
