EOF 1.71 (Updated 11/29/2010)

[Kueller917]

Every time I open it, it will work fine for a few minutes, or even seconds, then it will freeze up, and a few times it's given my computer the blue screen. I've re-downloaded it from all the links, and it's never happened with any other version.

WTF is wrong?

Can you provide more details? What are you doing when it crashes? What steps do you take to produce the error?

Well, I'll explain the last time it happened.
I had just re-downloaded from the last link I could try (the mediafire). I turned it on and made a song. I started playing it so I could move the anchors and about 7 seconds after, it froze.

Now the time before that:
I downloaded the program from the website. I loaded up another song and was editing some drum fills with the new BRE tab. After about 2 minutes it froze, my computer screen got pixel streaks, flashed around 3 times, and got the blue screen.

If you are using a modern OS my program shouldn't be able to make all that happen. Unless you are using Win9x I would guess your RAM is corrupted.

[Kueller917]

Dunno since it never happens to any other program.
Whatever, I'll stick with EOF 1.5 for now. Maybe my computer won't give me this problem in the next, which seems like it's going to be good by the way.

BUMP!

Can't have this excellent thread on the third page can we?

Hey, new creature.

Just tried EoF 1.59, I still had to edit the makefile in Linux, just a FYI, if you will.

Small bug:

If a SP marking ends on a note with 0 length, the last note doesn't get SP in-game. My guess is this is because the SP marking in the MIDI is supposed to go just beyond the "head" of the last note, whereas your markings go to the end of the tail of the last note. When this note has a tail, even if it's just 1px long, the marking goes beyond the head, so it works fine, but not when there's no tail.

By design, the shortest note length is one. Are you saying that you found a way to make it with a length of zero, or are you saying that a SP phrase that ends on a note with a length of one doesn't get SP in FoF?

Was just about to report that one.

See my last post. The same question applies.

[amak11]

I got a question is it posible to make a extended note match up with the end of another note. I can't seem to do it.

[raynebc]

You can increase the a note's tail until it runs up to the beginning of the next note, where it will be truncated to not meet or exceed the position of that next note. If you want to do otherwise (overlap notes), then you have to use the "crazy notes" feature, although this is one of the newer, more experimental features in FoF, and isn't recommended because it will probably cause problems for people playing your chart if they're not using the bleeding-edge of new versions of FoFiX. If that next note is grid snapped, then the previous note's tail can easily extend to that grid snap position, allowing it to end EXACTLY at the same time the next note starts. Do note this counts as overlapping because two notes exist at the exact same time in the chart.

I don't know why is this happening. I fretted a song in dB(You can find the song in my signature), then today I want to change the BPM because the current BPM is 120 which doesn't match the song's BPM. So, I change it via EoF(This one, the latest). And when I save it and open it up on FoFiX, the song doesn't load(at the song choosing screen). Any ideas why is this happening?

[raynebc]

FoF has lots of problems crashing during song loading, maybe it depends on the starting tempo or the tempo changes. A good half of the time I want to play anything in FoFiX, the game hangs on loading and I have to kill it and retry.

[acrox999]

Since dB change the note position when we change the BPM, so I decided to change the BPM using EoF. And one more thing, I add the anchors at each BPM change. I don't know what is anchor, I just add it.

How is the search for bugs going?
