Qustions and Answers
Here I will answer most of the questions asked on a regular basis.
Question:
What mod is this based off of ?
This project is not based of off any mod, infact this is a new stand-alone project written in c#. The source code will be available after the initial release, and first set of bug fixes have been preformed.
Question:
Is this project really going to happen?
Yes! this project is really going to happen. I have a dev team, though it's quite small. I also have a website dedicated to this here
Question:
Why a standalone?
The reason for a standalone is the fact that with all of the new features being implemented, I needed a clean slate. Doing so gives me the ability to make it easier for others to mod, have a better in game editor, and create a better networking module. It's not to say that Python isn't good, but it's better for me to start with something i'm alot better familiar with.
Questions
A.How exactly are you going to do song downloads? B:Are you going to have a server specifically for DLS? C:what if there's more than one fretting of a song?
Alright lets start with song downloads. It is illegal to transfer copyrighted material. However there will be a song transfer service implimented into the game engine that will allow for the transferring of songs. It will ask from the person transfering, if they accept the responsibility of transfering said copyrighted material. The downloader will also have to agree that they may or may not be downloading copyrighted material, and they accept the responsibility.
There will at first be no such server to download songs specific to FOF-Live, however your more then welcome to download songs from the Tune postings in the Forum.
There will only be one official fretting of each of the songs, The central server will keep a list of the official songs.
Question:
Will there be different Ho-Po settings along with difficulty settings?
Yes Different settings will be avaliable during the Custom Games modes only. FOF-Live will have it's own set of configurations possiably different from those that have played fof in the past.
All songs that are the official fretting will have all difficulties for all instruments.
Question:
Will there be Voice Chat?
Yes Voice chat will be implemented in the released version of FOF-Live.
Question:
Will I be able to have more than one player on my computer play online with me?
Yes. This game will allow you to bring your at home band online, and play against another bands.
Question:
Can we see some of the code?
Certainly, but your going to have to wait for an official release of the code.
Question:
Will My Xbox360/PS3 Controllers(Guitar, Drums) work with FOF-Live?
The Xbox 360 will work as of Now. However I have not started to work on the module to get the PS3 peripherals working as of yet. I hope to have them working for the release of FOF-Live.
