RF-mod-4 Discussion - Questions, suggestions, whining

[Rogue_F]

I've just dowloaded RF-mod, and I want to put the songs in some folders inside the game. I've got all the songs in FOF\data\songs\, but what I want is having the songs in folders in the game.

How do I have to do it?

Thanks!

So under that directory (FOF\data\songs) you make more folders

So you can have

FOF\data\songs\GH
FOF\data\songs\GH2
FOF\data\songs\FoF
FOF\data\songs\Misc

In game you will see folders for
GH, GH2, FoF, and Misc

Put the songs that are in the songs folder, in a folder inside the songs folder :p ,

You might need a song.ini inside that folder with for example-

[song]
name = Disturbed
artist = =FOLDER=
cassettecolor=#ffffff

Mike.

You do not need a song.ini in a folder.

This requirement went away somewhere between 3.0 and 3.5

Having problems running RF-mod in linux, Mandriva 2007 distro.

Here's the error
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/local/src/lang/cx_Freeze-3.0.3/initscripts/Console.py", line 27, in ?
File "FretsOnFire.py", line 94, in ?

sys.modules[parser_name].create_parser = _create_parser
KeyError: 'xml.sax.drivers2.drv_pyexpat'

Someone in this thread had this same error in Fedora, but it doesn't look like it was ever resolved.

Is this error related to the Ubuntu unicode error that someone explained how to fix?

The really odd thing about this is that my laptop running Mandriva 2007 runs RF-mod no problem, while the desktop does not. Same version of libxml, python-pyxml, libpython, etc.

Another thing. There is no /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/_xmlplus directory, rather that directory is in /usr/lib/python2.5. Can I simply change wherever this may be pointing to?

Thanks for the help

I dont really know the detailed answer to your question, but
the xml library is a very basic one in python.

_xmlplus is a suppliment library which overloads the xml library with additional functions.

xml.sax.drivers2.drv_pyexpat is really
_xmlplus.sax.drivers2.drv_pyexpat, but because of whatever overloading tricks python does it makes it seem like it's xml. I i know I had a lot of difficulties in originally getting it to work. My guess is either an incompatible library or it's not finding the correct one.

That explanation might point you in the right direction

If you're familiar with strace I would use that on the working one, and the non working one and see what library or other thing it's not finding and where it is trying to load it from.

Hi.

I'm trying to download the RF4 since tomorrow, but I suppose that the link is broken.

There's a mirror?

Thank you very much!

[wildbill12]

Success!

Thanks for the helpful suggestion.

Turns out I was missing libexpat1 on the machine where it wasn't working, installed that and it's running fine.

[Rogue_F]

I may need to include it in the distribution. The tools used to make a self contained distribution don't always find all the dependencies. I'll check to see if it should be included next time.

The one is in the mod isn't working and I used to upload my scores to another chart...

Thx! Great job!

[Khaoz]

It's done! I just needed to find the .ini

Why it is sooooo hidden now?
