You can download the new version here . For Linux users there's an experimental client here . (yes, even more experimental than the Windows client :tongue:) There are not many changes compared to the last version, mostly performance improvements and bug fixes: -fixed a lot of performance issues -mad...

@alparbal: open the file config.xml with notepad and edit this line: <j_keys fret1="0" fret2="1" fret3="2" fret4="3" fret5="4" strum1="7" strum2="254" quit="9" />. You will however still have to use something like xpadde...

has anyone talked to bowzerk in a while? He hasn't been on since may 30th... bowzerk didn't post here in a while but he recently (Jul 02 2009) submitted changes to the game code. I believe we can expect some news soon. Here's a small update for those who care: - I'm still working on SoS every now a...

Good to hear that. That is an odd bug though.

Hmm, is it possible that it actually starts hanging as soon as you click on "update" in the serverlist? Maybe you have a firewall which asks for permission if a program tries to connect to the internet and you can't see that because you're in fullscreen. If that is the case, start SoS in w...

I think I am just too stupid for this game. I am running it on Vista and Singleplayer works fine but as soon as I click Multiplayer a box opens and I can not do anything in the game but alt-tab out of it and end the process with the task manager :cursing: . Could anyone please make some kind of tut...

I would not call it a bug, but I agree with you that the old text placement looked better. The problem is that I was trying to find a way to display the text that works no matter how many players are in the game. So I thought the easiest way would be to always place it directly it to the top left of...

@Kotti&fenolftalein: Good to hear that some ppl are still enthusiastic about this game. :smile: Anyway, here's the new version Beta 0.8 . The new features are: -more than 2 players supported now; up to 63 players in theory, it has only been tested with 4 players though -starting multiplayer game...

so whats gonna be in the new update? Well, since you asked, here's some info. :) - The most important change is that more than 2 players will be able to play against each other. (in competitive) - Also the way a game is set up has changed, because the old way was hard to implement for more than 2 p...

@ Lance_009: I prefer not to set release dates, that way I have less pressure working on this and you guys are not going to be disappointed when I don't meet my deadlines. @guitarfreak93: For now I think this thread right here is a good enough replacement for an SoS forum, since the SoS community (i...

That forum looks pretty dead to me. Not even the guy who created it is using it anymore.

It looks like there is a problem with the strum bar on guitar controllers. The problem is that I don't have a guitar controller myself, so I was never able to test it myself.
I'll try to fix that before the next release.

Now that is really awesome. Thank you, I will add that image to the first post of this thread. All we need now are more ppl hosting servers! ;) I also should mention that the in-game server list is now being hosted on raph666's server as well, so we will hopefully have less problems with that in the...

Sorry Marvin, didn't see the drum part. I meant the bass/rhythm. :P @Bowzerk, the only problem I've encountered with SoS is that with a guitar controller, when you hit yellow, it holds down yellow and blue, and vice versa for blue. It's probably just my problem :P I'll see what I can do. Also, onli...

@crazycarp16: I don't have a guitar controller myself, but I assume they work the same way a joystick works. So all you have to do is to plug in your controller and make sure it is detected in windows. Next start a song in SoS and try some of the buttons on your controller. If nothing happens, guita...
