Guitar Hero III Theme -=[For FoFiX]=-

[death_au]

"ding-ding ding, we got a winner!! what do we got for him Johnny?".. JUST kidding. but seriously, this been mentioned a lot with what is supported. These arent actually mislabeled, but changed the extension only so fof can see them. jpg format is, of course, supported in code but the implementation of the extension isn't. a lot of themes use jpg with the changed extension to save on space when it comes to images not using a transparent layer. Its been in the issue tracker for a LONG time, and in time it will get included to look for additional extensions so we can use them directly without havin to renam the extension to use them.

You misunderstand. Max just added support for JPEGs to be used natively. In the latest revision you can rename them to .jpg and they'll still work.
EDIT: And by latest revision, I do NOT mean 3.120 Final. Just to make that clear for anyone at home who goes to try this. (r1893 is where it's at)

[worldrave]

Yeah, that function support wasn't committed until within an hour before i posted that though. I didn't see that COMMIT until i got home from work (posted that message from my phone.) Was kind of scary to read that though, of all timing. Plus i can't make those changes or everyone that's not using 4.0.0 SVN will get error's thrown at them. Course i might leave the 2 downloads there as-is for normal playing, and change the SVN to 4.0.0, since the downloads i made were as close to the end of 3.120 anyway.

Edit-Fixed the SVN password stuff. xp-dev.com restructured quite a bit, and in the process they put "Public" off by default. All workie-good again

Great! I guess this theme will be the best one to use for full (or at least most)-feature alpha testing, seeing as it should keep reasonably up to date with the 4.0.0 revisions

You can only put it on FoFiX not FoF.

scrolling down the setlist, it becomes black... why?

[death_au]

Because the image isn't long enough, basically.
The system used to make the scrolling setlist is flawed. Worldrave has done ak with what's there.

[worldrave]

I'd like to add to this. It is flawed, but the efforts and attempts made by the person coding it deserves an A+!!! It wasn't easy at all to get it right. Mostly though, if you are using a normal setlist of most all the GH and RB games, and using a resolution of anything less then 1280x1024, you SHOULD not get this problem. At least everyone i asked isn't. I notice it myself be a little off from the beginning using 1280x1024, and resolutions higher then that get much worse with black toward the end. The person that did that (QStick, originally added by Evilynux) said it was already a major **** with calculations as it is JUST to end up with what we got, which is most case's is good enough for the most part.
But yeah, i did notice it mostly is working fine as long as your using a normal setlist (IE- not some huge song selection) and using anything lower then 1280x1024 it doesn't seem to show the same problem. Try it out at least. And i almost 80% sure i already tried making it longer using the newer coding, but still messed up. I believe it messed up the start of the page or something like that when making it longer yet. I could be wrong.

[Simograndi]

But seen that the setlist code still doesn't work, why not to use old songchoosepaper (the short one)? It worked fine at least... Then when the code for setlist 'll be changed according to project probably this could be fixed and we'll finally have a perfect GH3 one

[worldrave]

Well, honestly because i spent SO much time making that, and being one of the only theme's (if THE only) one utilizing it, i figured it won't hurt anyway to use it now. Being only few cases it will do this, and not the majority. The majority wins usually.

[death_au]

Speaking of the scrolling background thing... From memory it's possible to put a static background behind the scrolling one (I can't remember what names to use off the top of my head EDIT: it's "songchooseback.png"). So perhaps one could cut a 1280x1024 (or similar size) chunk from the bottom of the setlist image and use that behind it. (EDIT: Better yet, one without the albums etc attached to it). So when you run out of paper, you get the static background instead.
Far from perfect, there'll still be a cut at the bottom of the long setlist paper, and I somehow doubt it would blend nicely with the static background, but it's gotta be better than black for now, right?

[worldrave]

I definitely tried that originally, and wasn't too pretty. I'll play around with it some more though and see what kind of magic i can put together.

[Simograndi]

I understand seen the work it took that you want to use it, I was just suggesting to come back to the old one for the stable release, so that there are no problems with setlist, while for SVN using it wainting for someone to improve it

[worldrave]

Well, i am pretty open minded. Akedrou said he has something in the works though now that will solve this problem. A very cool solution. This is very good news!!!

[death_au]

If your theme uses List or List/CD, the graphics now feature a header, repeating middle, and footer.
All setlist graphics should be in the folder "setlist" under the main folder.

As of right now (r1920), all sorts of things in the game will be weird and/or broken. This is normal and expected. From now until I say so again, especially do not expect any of the song-choosing activities in the development/SVN copy to function as planned.

So be warned
