FoFiX v3.1xx development thread

[Harrold]

I'm a gentoo user and just compiled the blas-atlas package for about 2 hours (damn on an i7) and the game still asks for libblas.so.3gf. Anyone can tell me where to get this file, after I already compiled the atlas package? It's the 3.120 beta full package for linux 64bit.

Seems like i forgot to include it in the package. Next time around i'll include it (fixed in r1386).
Under Debian it's in the libatlas3gf-base package... the gf suffix has been added following the various patches that may be unique to Debian. In other words, i don't know if gentoo also applies those changes.

In any case, you can first try to create a symlink from your libblas.so to /path/to/your/fofix/libblas.so.3gf . If that doesn't work, you can get it by downloading Debian's (or Ubuntu's) libatlas3gf-base package for your architecture and extracting the wanted file.

e.g.:

Code: Select all

wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/a/atlas/libatlas3gf-base_3.6.0-24_amd64.deb
ar x libatlas3gf-base_3.6.0-24_amd64.deb
tar -zxvf data.tar.gz
cp ./usr/lib/atlas/libblas.so.3gf /path/to/your/fofix/

Just wanna point out a little bug. On my computer (don't know about yours) game runs just fine but sometimes (especially with many-notes songs) stops for a moment, then continues. I'm running C2D on Windows 7. Another bug is that the score text is a little bit outside its box. I'll post a screenshot or a video if you don't understand me cuz my english isn't great :)

i cant find tyhe 3 players option :S

1385

If you find it - you'll be a hero!


Heh,

Matt!

P.S. It's not implemented yet....

[Azzco]

Heads up to alpha testers: r1383 implements 3-player mode for face off and RB-theme co-op modes. Enable it in (Advanced Mode) control settings. Now you can play with both Jurgen and Jurgette... alone in your room.

Previous page...
Edit
And here I assumed that we were talking about the 3 player gameplay itself and not the option wich seems to be the case.. Sorry bout that.

Anyway edit your fofix.ini, find the line that says "max_players = 2" and change it to 3.

Do you use an external HDD? Because this bug happens for me when I'm using my FoFiX copy on my external HDD. It works fine on my internal HDD though.

Another bug is that the score text is a little bit outside its box.

Try updating your themes folder, worked for me (had similar bugs):
Rock Band 2
Guitar Hero 3

i cant find tyhe 3 players option :S

The option for that is missing, if you really want to try it you have to change "max_players = 2" to "max_players = 3" in your FoFiX.ini.
EDIT: too slow

cant find fofix.ini :S
i searched in all the folders and is not there!Even with the windows search"fofix.ini"

Another bug is that the score text is a little bit outside its box.

That is a Python 2.6 or should i say pygame 1.9.0 or maybe it was pyOpenGL 3.0.0 thingy.
It looks right on Python 2.4. One fix could be to let themes choose where texts are displayed in theme.ini.. or hard code new values for the newer Python 2.6 setup.
But that would break 2.4 looks.

This is a question that has been answered like 100 time in this thread alone. But ok here it comes again.

In windows: C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name\Application Data\fofix\fofix.ini OR if you put an empty file called fofix.ini inside the fofix folder (where your game is) it will override and use that instead.

In linux: ../home/.fofix

Both are "hidden" folders.

Heads up to alpha testers: r1383 implements 3-player mode for face off and RB-theme co-op modes.
It worked pretty well in my tests, but with some mild goofiness that I couldn't pin down, so if you notice any consistent goofiness or crashes, let me know.

I got it to work fine. Good framerate and it's very smooth.. But in worldraves GHIII theme all the meters are cut in half.. only the bottom part is showing here.

Yeah the three player is slow (i only get about 16 fps without shaders) but its playable (for me)
Harmonix must have there code highly optimised because in the xbox360's case they have 4 player running on harware (graphics wise) worse than my pc and in the ps2 and wii way worse than my pc

Or in Vista: C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\fofix\fofix.ini

Make sure the controller assigned to the starpower axis is plugged in and working.

I've been so busy fretting songs and stuff that only today I've noticed the latest implementations...

...One word:

AWESOME!!!!

Thank you so much!

Keep up the outstanding work guys.

You're my heroes!!

Not having to run interpreted code makes a big difference.
