Ds~Alarian beta

[alarian]

EDIT: FULL RELEASE OF Ds~Alarian mod v 1 here!

I'm releasing a beta of the mod me and Ds~ are working on because others can find bugs I haven't. I want you all to know that I have very little time to work on this but I think it's fun so I do it with what free "me-time" I have

Implemented fixes from others:
+BPM Lines (By Capo)
+8th note Ho/Po (By Capo)
+fixed stupid tails bug (By Capo, sorry missed this! I replaced my solution because I built mine without taking BPM into account)

Fixed since Ds~Rockband mod v 2:

+Removed Tutorial, Song Editor and Credits screen (There's a credits.txt, credits are going up on main menu screen when the mod is finished)
+Removed FoF-theme
+Removed unused .pyo-files (There are .py-files that replace these, the mod will be released compiled, this is a beta and is still released with the .py's)
+Implemented GH3 Background fix so you don't have to run it as a separate mod
+Optimized Codes, this is just one example:

Code: Select all

if speedPercent == 50:
 Ã‚     self.speed = 0.5
elif speedPercent == 60:
 Ã‚     self.speed = 0.6


(this went on up to 150)

replaced with (duh):

Code: Select all

self.speed = speedPercent/100


+All of the above resulted in a 7 MB smaller folder (decompressed)

+fixed starpower/overdrive-bug (was the same after a restart)
+fixed rockband main menu display bug (on other resolutions than 1024x768 the menu wasn't displayed correctly)
+fixed flamecolors (before, they were the same in Rockband- and GH3 mod either white or orange, now it's white in RB and orange in GH3)
+fixed those annoyingly high volume sounds (like when you do selections in menu or activate starpower the volume of these sounds are ALOT louder than everything else)
+edited that ugly Optionspanel in GH3-theme

Please note that the overdrive meter bug (displayed incorrectly on other resolutions than 1024x768) is not yet fixed! This is the last fix before I start adding new features to the game!

Also note that Ds~ removed the "notestreak", "starpower" and "You failed" texts. These are in and are going to be able to turn on or off by personal preference in the full release.

There's nothing new in that folder...

What do you mean?

There's nothing to add to my library.rar in it and all the .pyd's are old ones. The stuff in there don't fix any of the problems.
EDIT: Nevermind!

[alarian]

It's a standalone I'm sorry if it doesn't fix any of your problems. Feel free to fix them yourself!

[ozzystrikes]

MMM... this sounds Great
dling right now
looks like the people in the forum can finish the work of UC

[gamexprt1]

EDIT: Never mind, just tough riff.

[alarian]

Uh, now it's just frozen before the main playing screen. And all I did was move my mod folder, my GH3 and RB folders, and my song folder to your data folder.

read the first post. Especially:

Settings > Coffee Settings > Board Speed %100 <can't change it or game won't load up the song after you choose your difficulty>

in other words, the song won't load if you change that setting. :\

It seems that I compressed the test-folder instead of the "latest stable"-folder...

uploading the new one to the same link in the first post...
EDIT: ok now it's up

[myfingershurt]

Exact same (except for title screen, which only has play, settings and quit...)

myfingershurt check your PM

[myfingershurt]

I just finished modifying and hosting a modified song.py that fixes the HOPO issue on this sweet beta package - thank you for all the nice cleanup and fixins!

Checkin atha PM now...

[yoyokid2008]

There is something wrong with the Rock Band theme...

800x600


1024x768



After getting 1 phase of overdrive...

[myfingershurt]

lol... yeah, prolly because they're currently working on the positioning of that overdrive fill bar for all resolutions -- so its the most "beta" at the moment.

I can deal with that because everything else about this mod is just great after fixing the song.py / same-note HOPO issue. Highly recommended to anyone considering the download. Just look at (the top 90% of) those screenshots!

BTW... yoyokid, excuse my ignorance but I haven't yet had a need to take screenshots of a game - what program did you use to nab those, or is there some shortcut key in FoF that my noobness is not aware of...?
