Problem hitting frets in FoFiX even when perfect in FoF

Postby atlantian2012 » Fri Mar 21, 2014 6:57 pm

I played Tomy Inkila on both versions FoF and FoFiX. In the second one, FoFiX there is a problem hitting frets. In FoF the area responsible for it was wider I think. Can I change it somehow? I checked kb settings in FoFiX and nothing is blocking it. I changed also themes to be sure, but even on basic one I "suck" when in FoF I was almost perfect.

I cannot run FoF again. What can I do with FoFiX to tape it correctly? Sometimes they lighten before frets, sometimes when I hit them exactly. Maybe there is some setting I dont know of? Help me please! ...

Thanks,
THE RiPPER

Seems like it is there set as Wide, but it has no big inpact on the accuracy I want to lower to make it more easy to play with. Its like I hear the note in the music, I hit in time, but sometimes it doesnt light up. Weird. Is that all we can do? FoFiX will be always too hard to play because I cant pass the eye of the needle? Why FoF is working fine and this not?

FoFix is a heavily modified version of the original FoF. FoFix has not been optimized for performance. Perhaps its your CPU that's making the game lag?

The game works fast. I have 8 CPU's. The problem is with the Area for the frets to be taped by keyboard. The modifications are completely unstable.

Cant really help you troubleshoot anymore man. FoFiX is fairly old, not sure if they optimized it for multicore.

Search for mutlicore
search.php?st=0&sk=t&sd=d&sr=posts&keywords=multicore

Perhaps if it gets ported to c++ it might run more smoothly for you. viewtopic.php?f=2&p=625572#p625572

This doesn't solve your problem, but perhaps you might want to give Phase Shift a try, it has full support for legacy FoF/iX charts/songs.

I didnt meant multicore. Its just some settings arent doing nothing to the speed, but anyway, I get before 4x times more points even with my fingers bleeding in FoF, but in FoFiX I cant even get 25%. Some switch is switched or something. Take into assumption I play under Linux Mint on 4 cores. I tried to position the angle of the scene, switch to RB from GH and its a bit better, 15% hits changed to magic 30% hits, but its still not like in FoF, which I cannot run cause of some GFX problem for such old game.

Dont make me wrong, someone mentioned Shift or Guitar Hero, but hell why should I switch to GH when I use Linux not Windows? And I think Shift needs some frets rebuild on the song and midi site, so if I have 200 songs its useless.

I feel hopless now ;X I was hoping FoFiX would have more effects and be more fun than real. Thats why kids dont play it, cause they suck every time like I am every time, even when I switch off Jurgen? Dont like this bar falling down. I feel depressed.

Return to “FoFiX”
