4/1/10 - v2.4 - Bug Fix
Fixed major bug in 2.3 that would cause any inis created or edited to no longer show up in FoF
Download Song.ini Generator v2.4
Song.ini Generator v2.4 was made with Visual Basic 2008 for Windows XP but also works on Vista. It does not work for Macs or Linux.
Screenshots (Outdated):


Quick Load instructions:
To use Quick Load you must first go to File > Options and set the QL directory. Do not set it as your desktop. QL will go through every file and subfolder of the set directory to get every .ini, if you make it your desktop you will have too wait hours for it to finish. Simply find your FretsOnFire folder, go to data and make the folder "songs" your QL directory. QL is not instant so don't exit the program if you click it and it looks like it freezes. I have about 50 songs and it takes only 4 or 5 seconds.
If you get an error when you try to run the program:
Go to http://www.update.microsoft.com with Internet Explorer. *Once the page loads, click the button Custom. After it scans for your needed updates, go to the side bar and click on "High Priority", check all the updates that come from High Priority. Then click on "Software, Optional" and check all the updates with "Microsoft.NET" or "Framework" in them. Then click the "Review and install updates" link near the top. Then click the "Install Updates" button. It may take a while to update, once it's done, restart your computer and try running the program again.
*You may be prompted to download a Windows Verification add-on, just click the button to download it and it auto-matically runs itself, then you can continue to click Custom.
