RF-mod 2.0 - electric boogaloo

[winniez]

I really hope some performance optmization, no matter at all of unuseful stuffs like wammy bar, puffy pull ons and all idiot stuffs. If this game can't run @ full speed on my computer, it's a shame

winniez,

If you look at my other post there's a huge performance improvement in removing the note special effects.

I'm still trying to figure out why some people get hit with a slow down and others do not. The only thing that really changed in that area was the new note rendering. Did you also experience the problem in 1.0? Try using that version then try 1.5. If the problem only shows up on 1.5 then it's the new note handling.

Well I use a dual core and if I don't disable a core I get note sfx slowdown, but when I disable one the game runs superbly smooth. Perhaps some of these people arn't disabling a core? and others probly have old video cards that can't handle it smoothly.

Thank you for this mod. I love the organization of the tapes. I like all the other stuff to (although most of the optimization features are useless for me, since it runs flawlessly regardless.)
I recently edited some image files into a mod, and now the game runs slowly...I suppose I'll have to do something about that myself. It must have something to do with the multiple objects in the svg files....

It's getting closer and closer to a multiplayer mode.
Heh, my brother and I figured out a way to have a co-op multiplayer. We mapped the first two frets and a pick to the joystick, and the last 3 frets to the keyboard as normal. It's funny. We actually did pretty well on This Week I've Been...and Vivaldi's Winter.

When I press a key, to search the songs, it comes up "String out of range". Any ideas?

it does that anyway, even just the standard FoF will stutter on a dual core, mines the same, its quite sad to see a fairly basic game stutter when you have 2.6Dual core. but yeah i have to Ctrl+Alt+del and turn off one of them!

Tested and 1.0 runs smoothly while 1.5 not

'string index out of range' means you have an EMPTY folder somewhere.

You probably extrated a song folder, that has the actual song folder inside it....ALL folders need song.ini or you get that error. It may be corrected in the future (better error handling)

random pyromaniac: Is the slowdown for you in 1.5 all the time? or only when you play a note?

If someone else who has this slowdown can confirm or deny the 1.0 is ok, and 1.5 is not then I will put a toggle in the next version to use or not use the new note rendering (you wont get the pretty white spot)

Only when I play a note.

Any news on a linux version?

[cpuinfo]

OH! did i miss any updates at all? cuz iunno if u guys experince this but after i play a song and exit back to the folders. It goesback to the top. its DAMN frustrating lol!

[Rogue_F]

No linux version yet. hope to rebuild my home machines sometime in the next few weeks. AFter that I should have a clean system I can go on.

I want to try to finish up the HOPO stuff for this version before then though.

Yea a Linux version would be really cool. If there is any way to help with work or test, I would be glad to offer a hand.

[Rogue_F]

To help all you would need to do is build the development environment for linux.
