FoFiX v3.1xx development thread

[evilynux]

I see there are a couple of questions about the Windows patches. I did not create them, i simply linked to them as John [Stumpo] suggested. Unfortunatly John will be unavailable for the next 2-3 days so i'll try my best to guess answers.

About the "not finding OpenGL" issue. Make sure you've installed the patch OVER a previous 3.100 Final installation.

@death_au, thanks for confirming my suspicion that i was unable to confirm. The python2.6 build includes pyopengl3.x which is slower (in direct-mode drawing). I'll change the summary page to make this explicit.

Edit: Modified summary page at googlecode, hope this makes things clearer.

Oh, and something else, if you use the Alpha and the Beta on the same system, you might have trouble saving the settings, since they both use Fofix.ini and it only makes the one in the appdata fofix folder.

Is there anyway currently to get the Alpha to read a different configuration file?

I'm not sure about this on Windows, but on GNU/Linux and MacOS X you can create a fofix.ini in the game folder. If the game finds a fofix.ini in the game folder, it uses that one.

That's how it works in windows, too.

Oh, and I haven't actually looked at john's patches, I was just going by what he'd said

Everything is correct, the error still continues.

1º:Download 3.100 Full for Windows
2º:Install
3º:3.100 Final to 3.120~beta1 Patch for Windows
4º:Pacth
5º:Tada !! Error !

Ah, thanks guys.

Did you install the 3.120~beta1 patch OVER an existing 3.100 final installation?
If so, i'm clueless... again, i can't test the windows binaries.

Edit: Based on your update, sorry thiago.longo, i don't know what's wrong. Note that i don't understand how this patch could possibly not work for you while it does for others...

Ok....


In 3.120 beta1 version with python 2.6 and pyopengl 3.x, the screen goes all black and the game does not open.

2.6 gives a slightly lower framerate that is rock solid for me, 2.4 runs a little higher fps (10fps) but will have at least a couple of streak breaking lags per song

this problem gets worse if you play more than one song before restarting the app

also john stumpo added an option to turn off psyco support that improved performance to almost even on my system

I wish that would also be my case... but it's far from it.
Note that i've an amd64 so I never used psyco [which is only avail. for i386 CPUs].

[slantyr]

right on, i just think people should try 2.6 first

it's less memory greedy (on all systems?) and more stable on some

Actually, i'd agree to recommand trying python >= 2.5 if we would have built binaries off of pyopengl 2.x+python >= 2.5.

slider only working on 360 ghwt guitar? just wondering.
