MFH Mod (FoFiX) 3.0xx (v3.030) (OLD)

[jstump91]

One of the features being worked on will be a system for easier installation of the FoFiX core, patches, and mods under Windows.

Toward this goal, there are scripts in svn to generate Windows installers in addition to the RARs that you're used to, and I have uploaded an installer for this beta that I made using those scripts to my mediafire (direct link).

Congrats to all devs on reaching this beta. I'm sure the amount of new/better stuff amazes even MFH!

That's weird. I got no problem at all. Hmmm... Are you playing a multi-track song? If so, wait a little longer. Be patient.

I waited 15 Minutes for a Guitar Hero 2 song...I don't think giving it another 5 minutes would have really mattered.

Has pitchbend been ported to GNU/Linux?

It always has worked on GNU/Linux, and I have always tested it on GNU/Linux as well as Windows. (Mac OS X is another story, but it probably works there too.)

(Ubuntu's libsndobj package has a linking bug preventing the shared library from working, which can be worked around by statically linking libsndobj when building pitchbend.)

Do I have to compile it or is there a package?

Looks like we have to compile it.

Which sucks, since I had to compile python2.4 myself, whenever I try to use scons to build the sndObj stuff, it automatically sees my python2.6, and I can't figure out how to tell it to look elsewhere.

I can't figure out where to go from here. =\

Edit: the pitchbend svn isn't down, but that doesn't matter since I can't figure out how to tell scons to use python2.4 instead of python2.6.

works fine for me! do you guys have your game port on your computers turned off? i noted the no midi ports error......
you MUST have midi port on in the computer!

I take it you got that from my Log. Since I never had this issue before, I am not sure how one of my midi ports was ever turned off. How would I fix this?


Thanks,

Matt!

Looks like the problem might be that the patch didn't include freestyletail1 and 2.png --- I'll fix and reupload the patch...

[KillerQ]

Sweet! That is, it's great that there may be a simple fix!

Not to mention the pitchbend svn seems to be down?

Whenever pitchbend svn is down (which is not that rare an occurrence), you can fall back on releases. Every release I tag I also upload to my mediafire in both source and Windows binary form, and the only commit I have made since last release only touched documentation.

My module does not utilize the pySndObj bindings (just the C++ interface), so it doesn't matter what version of Python you use to build it. (Case in point: I compiled the copy of sndobj that I use in my Windows releases using scons on Python 2.5.) Once SndObj and the SDL and SDL_mixer headers are available, my module builds just like any other (namely, ./setup.py build; sudo ./setup.py install, though you of course will want to make sure you run setup.py under 2.4).

Downloaded the missing pngs from fofix.googlecode and the problem was fixed.

LOL. MFH, wait. I think I'll upload the pics. I've done something with the tail. I think I like mine.

OK - old 3.100 beta 1 patch deleted, new one uploaded. This one includes the freestyletails as well as Blazingamer's note.dae and textures in the MegaLight GH3 theme:

I've done some improvements in the freestyletail1.png and freestyletail2.png. I think your's is too bright and I've adjusted the brightness. And I added some outlines too.

reboot computer press DEL key to boot into bios, check under integrated peripherals check to see if game port is on and make sure port 330 is assigned to midi

now this might be an issue, key word might be your issue, not saying that it is, but when it comes to python and midi ive always made sure port 330 is for midi...

Thanks for fixing it. Everything is fine now.

MFH,

That was the ticket - thanks!

@ Hannon. Since it's working now, is there any benefit of me activating that midi port? Or is it obliviously on since it's working now...?


Later,

Matt!

Thanks for the new patch

Just wondering, what exactly was changed/added to the whammy pitch-bending support?
I've also noticed that under the RB 2 theme, in my library, not all my scores are being shown. Most of my old 'easy' scores are displayed but the 'medium' scores aren't, but if I play a song under this patch it will display it
