Hering mod - Song failing, open fret, more to come

[h3r1n6]

Hi there,
I am going to make this mod as an extension of functionality, without altering the current score system.

The mod features the following at this point:
-Song failing
-Open fret

For some more information I have included a readme.txt.


The only release right now is for the newest version (1.2.451) of FoF, but I will be working on a downport soon.

Get the mod here (the newest version will be like this):
[size=180]Hering mod homepage[/size]

TODO:
-get a model for the open note
-downport to 1.1.314 with RF + Capos mod
-add more stuff


If you want to help me out:
-I need a model for the open note. Design is up to you, I would prefer a note across the board, but other things will work too.
-Give me your ideas/criticism concerning the mod

Sounds Great, but ill have to wait for the downport tho. sorry that i cant help but if i could i would.

For the failing mod, is it suppose to stop you once you get to zero?

I think explained it in the readme. If it reaches zero the song stops, the score will not be counted to the highscores, and Jurgen will laugh at you.

If you deactivate failing in the game options, you still see how your doing on the rock meter, but the game continues if it reaches zero.


Edit:
Oh there was a small bug I made, concerning the settings menu. Fixed now, the link remains the same.

great job dude, w8ing for 1.1.34 vers

[Divra]

Well done, but I think it should fail a little faster, I was playing Defy the Machine, and when the hard part came I didn't do anything but it made it through... And it doesn't reset on "Restart song".
I will probably use it when there is a version for 1.1.324.

That's so cool, thanks for this.

[worldrave]

Thanks so much!!! I was talking to my friend yesterday (when i set it up on his machine to play.) about how cool that would be if FoF had this kind of mod. It's more incentive for a person to try to play better in order to finish a song, AKA-Guitar Heroes style.
Thanks a bunch. And glad it's for the newer version. All need to update that haven't yet(there mods.), i've played both and just think the newest comes out on top. After playing with both for months.

Thats because you have it on Easy (default).

Go to Settings -> Game Settings, and change it to Jurgen, good luck


Edit: fixed

2nd edit:
Got a request for the sources, here you go:
Sources

[R4L]

Very nice! Since your downporting it, could you make it compatible with crazy.neo's score amp and raph's GH mod? It would be much appreciated!

Keep up the good work!

No problem,

all I need are the sources for all that mods combined, and I can weave my code into that.

The score amp might proove worthy when improving the graphics of the failing mod .


Right now I am starting to implement support for drum song parts.
Career mode and background movie support are on hold, because I am kinda stuck on both.

[HeruLuingul]

Sweet, definitely keep going with this. I too, will hold out for the 1.1 version, and I second R4L's quote. Personally, I can go without background movies and career. Take your time on those.
And by "I am starting to implement support for drum song parts" do you mean no-strum?

[R4L]

Awesome! I like the idea of career mode and background movie support! Also, if you need the sources, they are included with the mods.

Not exactly no strum

It will read the PART DRUMS in mid files, so you can play the drum track.

On that you have another set of keys, and don't need to strum.
Will be some work to implement it, but I don't think there will be anything hard in front of me (unlike letting FoF accept a video played with PyMedia as background )

Well I'll try to search everything together.

With failing... someone can code a "star power" per say. Not one that effects the multiplier (just so i don't get flamed), but one that effects the rock meter to increase to the green level faster. might be something you can even add to your mod. you would have to add an input for the tilt/select button to unleash "star power." you could even make the notes glow blue or something like in GH.
