Sweet!

Ahh nice!

All my reverse engineering and a little googling would have made all the difference

Great work!

Hi,

I've learn of Frets on Fire for the first time today. I know I'm a bit late... :P

I have installed successfully the original title in ubuntu (aptitude). I also succeeded in installing this version (MFH3). Where I'm currently having trouble is for the midi patch...

I currently have a Roland TD-8 sitting right beside my computer and I want to try it out with MFH3 but I'm having trouble.

In my Unbuntu install, after installing the patch I never saw any "x MIDI inputs found." in my log. This is probably because I don't have the pyrtmidi python extension installed. How do I install it?? Directly in the game folders? I find this a bit confusing...

After fouling around in my Ubuntu install I booted Windows...

I then tried a prepackaged version of the game (FoFIX v3.100 beta 2) and a midi device was detected :

Now my problem is that I can't assign my pads in the game...

Any clues?

Yeah - the original patch only worked for the original poster's exact setup (including which MIDI input channel was used).

I see you're trying 3.030 beta 2 on Windows - that's a good start. MIDI input support was integrated a bit ago but I have no instruments to test with. So if I come up with something else to try on this, I'll try to get it coded for 3.100 beta 4 so you can test it.

Hi
i'm Bolby, a french drummer and i don't understand how to install the patch. Can you help me ?

[jstump91]

This was included in 3.100 and all later releases.

Just install at least 3.100 and you'll have it.

(You could have seen this by actually reading the whole thread before posting. Don't needlessly bump old threads.)
