FoFiX v3.1xx development thread

WoW frets on fire has vocals?

NO
FoFiX has limited support for recognising pitch from a microphone. That is simply a first step towards vocals support. There's a lot more to it than that.

Okay seriously man did you devour 5 bottles of whiskey, sleep on the street, wake up and log in to fof-ff on the nearest computer and ask the most stupid question you could?

That's a no.

Some microphone input code has been added in r1371.

There will most likely still not be playable vocals for quite a long time, but this code is something that such an implementation could possibly be built on top of.

It is possible to unlock the ability to define a controller as a mic (the test screen is fully implemented!) by manually setting "mic_features_enabled" in the [game] section of fofix.ini to True. (I implemented it like this as a form of n00b-proofing. I strongly recommend setting it back to False for normal gameplay. The rest of the code will probably throw violent fits (not to mention exceptions) when faced with such different controller definitions from what it is used to dealing with.)

There are two extra optional dependency modules needed to be able to use the experimental microphone input code. FoFiX will continue to function normally without them.

pyaudio - Python binding to PortAudio (used to read audio data from the microphone)

pypitch - a wrap of a couple C++ classes from Performous (a fork of UltraStar) that implement its pitch analyzer

death_au beat me to it, but still...

I tested this , it fncking reckognizes chords and notes of my guitar, haha it's so cool.
If u can make for us to bind for example F , Gb, G, Ab and A to Fret 1, Fret 2 , Fret 3 , Fret 4 , Fret 5 that'll be ultra cool dude!!! I can play fof with my real guitar hahaha.

Edit , later.

It also recognizes my electric guitar plugged in into the line in, even better! If i set on acoustic effect it recognizes the notes great! I've turned on jurgen and pretend playing with my real guitar and it was so fun xD The chords will be problem anyway but i guess we will make 1 note chords for this, to solve it. I would LOVE to play like this, but dunno what happens with the delay, maybe it recognizes the note with a little delay or..

There's an entire game based around this concept. It takes Guitar-Pro files

Well...the mic support is good. It detects my voice well and even detects pitch through my awful laptop built-in microphone. So that's cool. Also, I had no crashes or exceptions when I ran the key test.

Now for vocals

Where is FOFix.ini? I have never seen it sine I saw the REV with the change of fretsonfire.ini.
When I update to this revision I lost my configurations, but they are save now, where? No fretsonfire.ini, and using Windows XP search it doesnt found a FOFix.ini, maybe its´s hide. Where can it be?

[kristijan_mkd]

Create a new fofix.ini in src folder, put
[game]
mic_features_enabled = true
in it, and it should work. Aduro, tnx for the game but i'll love to see it in fofix :P

It's in a hidden folder (you realy should enable "show hidden files" in windows) at the following location for WinXP:
C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\fofix\fofix.ini

It's only there if you don't have fofix.ini in you game dir.

No, there only was an old Fretsonfire.ini.
PS- Thanks KID, now i have a fofix.ini in fofix/src folder, now i have to configure all again. Thank you both

- The 2.4 package contains pyOpenGL 2; the 2.6 package contains pyOpenGL 3. For the shaders, you must (?) use the 2.6 package.

So,

The only difference with the pyOpenGL 2 (2.6) release and the pyOpenGL 3 (2.6) release is that 2.6 uses shaders, and that 2.4 may give better performance? (The shaders gave the game a real rock-band-ish feel, by the way!)

Since the future will only hold further enhancements, wouldn't it be wise to only use 2.6 for now? Well, I suppose that future releases/patches will contain their own pyOpenGL files, so you can simply choose at that time...and current installations won't matter much...

Just curious,

Matt!

does anyone else with the latest .svn have jurgen failing miserably on all songs?

This is the awesomest thing i saw in my life. They have cool stuff, but not many cool graphics. Maybe i'll help em out with something. But i still stay behind my idea "If u can make for us to bind for example F , Gb, G, Ab and A to Fret 1, Fret 2 , Fret 3 , Fret 4 , Fret 5 that'll be ultra cool dude!!!"

---- EDIT ----

Yeah, me , he is to g@y now, he can't play xD

[sliost2]

It would be awesome if you can bind F , Gb, G, Ab and A to Fret 1, Fret 2 , Fret 3 , Fret 4 , Fret 5 !!!!!!

[Lysdestic]

It would be nice if you can bind F , Gb, G, Ab and A to Fret 1, Fret 2 , Fret 3 , Fret 4 , Fret 5 !!!!!!

First of all, that is a chromatic series of notes, second of all, how it sounds would all be dependent on the key of the song you were playing, and chromatic certainly wouldn't sound nice in a song say, in D Minor.

[yoni_116]

hello on lowers to me completes vercion of frets fire 3,120 and vercion 3,100 goes to me very slow walked to me very well that I can do

[evilbobthebob]

I presume you mean that you are getting a low frame rate so the game is slow to play. In that case, try the Python 2.4 package if you haven't already. If that doesn't help, just turn your settings down low.
