This has been discussed before. Apparently Python really sucks for audio processing, so it doesn't look like slowing down the songs will be possible anytime soon. However, if anyone ever does figure it out, it would probably be a small jump to implement a whammy bar. Right now, my advice would be to...

Another thought - an option to drop the 3D completely. There's nothing wrong with a 2D neck scrolling down the screen with 2D keys and 2D notes, especially when the background is a static 2D image anway. This would make it much easier on slower machines, and might free up some cycles for other fun s...

I just had an idea that I haven't fully thought through yet, but it should be fairly easy to implement: Career Mode. Song packs could be released with a simple .ini file dictating which songs are at which level, and how many you need to beat before the next level is unlocked. Each player's career co...

After playing around with it, I changed all the notes that were 0.0.096 or shorter to 0.0.108, which seemed to fix the problem in case anyone has the same issue in the future. It looks like the minimum note length is probably 0.0.108, or possibly 0.0.100.

I have the same problem with the Intel on-board card in my laptop. Everything else runs fine in the game, so I don't really care about the CD labels.

I'm currently fretting a song (Renegade by Styx) and It was working fine in-game until I started to fret the solo. Now, when I select the song from the menu in the game, the screen goes black, I hear the start.ogg sound, then nothing happens. When I remove the solo from the notes.mid file, the song ...

I'm confused - does this "mod" actually slow down the song, or does it just spread the notes out more on the fretboard?

Just to back up what Alex is saying, I was having the same problem after trying the new RF-Mod without uninstalling a previous version of FoF. Make sure you remove all traces of previous FoF installs (including in the Application Data\Fretsonfire folder) before installing the new RF-Mod.

I'm running FoF 1.2.x I've got "fret4_color = #FF9922" in my fretsonfire.ini file, but the fret stays purple. I checked my fretsonfire.log file and this showed up: (N) Loaded Guitar.neckDrawing in 0.000 seconds (W) Config key theme.hopo_color not defined while reading. (W) Co...

I'm better on real guitar for solos, and verses are easy to play on both, so I vote real guitar.

That's what I think might be happening.

Update: I played it through without strumming any hopos and I got 98.8%, which is probably more accurate. Without looking at the code, I think strumming the hopos is what's causing the problem.

I just got 101.6% on Killer Queen on Amazing mode after installing RF 4.0 beta. I didn't hit all the notes either... this should probably be looked at. I saw something like this earlier, i thought it was fixed already. I'll have to look at it again....Something is registering extra note hits. I bel...

Can't wait to try it. Thanks for all your hard work, Alex.

I'm having problems importing the note DAE file from Raph's GH mod for FoF 1.2 into either Blender or 3DS Max 8. I have python, Cg, and ColladaMax installed. In 3DS Max I get a few of each of the following errors: Warning: Unknown or missing polygonal material symbol in geometry. and ERROR: Techniqu...
