GAWD!!!!
Theres a problem with 1.41 and the Mac graphics cards/

What kind of error do you get? Dunno if I can really help you, but it sounds like you are having problems with the irrlicht engine. Maybe you can search on the irrlicht forums for your problem.

Bowzerk, Irrlicht Engine has a incompatibility problem with ATI graphics cards and OpenGL. Macs use openGl as the standard for the graphics, therefore it won't work right.

I'm having an issue.Any custom song with only one difficulty is crashing SOS.
It shows no difficulty at all regardless of what the difficulty of the song is.

@arfn24:
That's too bad, I checked the irrlicht forums and it looks like you are correct.
They say:

Yes, it's a bug in Irrlicht 1.4.1, in conjunction with OpenGL 2.x (mostly, but not exclusively with ATI cards). The driver switches to sw rendering if one uses NPOT textures, which is part of OpenGL 2.0, but as it seems not necessarily hw accelerated. The bug is fixed in the nightly builds and will be solved in Irrlicht 1.4.2 and 1.5 as well.

That means if you download the irrlicht source and compile it yourself it should work. Or you can just wait till they release 1.4.2.

@wembley1967:
I tested several songs with only one difficulty without any problems. Can you tell me a specific song that doesn't work for you, so I can test it?

- Needs hyperspeed. Or normal speed. Anything faster than slow motion.
- Support for "delay = " in song.ini.
- This is something you propably can't do much about, but for example, songs "Voivod", "Flatlines, Thin Lines" and "Atlantis" apparently have the same file size. When moepOOO was playing Atlantis, I was playing Voivod.

Wow!! It runs like greased lightning compared to FoF! 100% fast & smooth, instant response, and the most impressive part is that my CPU% doesn't even raise above idle while playing the game!!

Keep up the great work. Works successfully with no tweaks, on my Windows 2000 SP4 system with ATI Radeon 9250 AGP8x 128MB card. P4 2.6GHz Hyperthreaded CPU.

Support for "delay = " in song.ini.

This is needed... Mainly beacause all scorehero conversions are ruined without it.

[raynebc]

And most songs created for FoF. Very few of us manually delete all of the audio in a song that precedes the first note.
