Re: STaRZ: Theme for FoFIX 3.120

WOW, Great job on this theme!

I wish the devs would fix the star power/over drive sound issue sounding like crap. This theme it is really bad and makes it sound broken.

Anyways, I found a star font called "Oh my god stars !...not sure if you would use it Hazzerz. But I thought it fits the overall "star" theme quite well.

Here is a preview/download with your theme name...

Well, there is SOME blue in the background.
It used to match the menus, I kicked up the saturation on them at the last minute....I thought those were too dark :P

Thanks for that font, I looked on Dafont for some suitable ones, that one never popped up....go figure.

Are you referring to FoFiX issue 739? If so, it has been fixed... If not, what is your issue?

It sounds great for me. I guess he thinks that the sound is bad. But it's suposed to be like that.

Yes, I am referring to issue 739 as well as issue 760 which I started. Apparently it was fixed but the sound is still meh along with the multiple activation sounds after the initial one.

In this theme, it just sounds like a bomb going off with a pause half-way through.

I didn't notice activation on the video posted in the first post. But maybe it is just my slow a$$ computer. I do believe a new i7 processor build is in my future.

BTW...what song is that used in your video?

Oh the song in the vid is Don't look back in anger, by Oasis

Have you tried listening to the actual sound in the theme folder, to see what it sounds like? Maybe it's not your computer and you just think the sound itself blows :tongue:

I'll be, I tried listening to it from the song folder and in Mplayer it would play but gave me a "unable to connect to pulse" error with the same bomb explosion sound I hear in the game. So I changed the settings in Mplayer from "pulse" to "alsa" (my sound card is an intel but that wasn't an option). And it plays fine now, both in mplayer and in the game (better). I say, better in the game because I can still activate it multiple times.

Makes no sense why the settings in Mplayer would effect the game play sound. I even have all my sounds in the KDE system settings for "Intel." Fracking pulse :mad:

Thanks, man. The sound effects are probably my favorite part of the whole thing, it's funny what just a couple sounds can do.

Seconded. I think that's what sets this theme apart from other themes out there. Yes it has amazing graphics that puts it among the top themes already, but the custom sounds add a new level of "custom", and just generally improve the feel of the whole theme.

wow - this is the nicest custom theme i've seen :) excellent work!

why dont u set up an svn for it (http://www.xp-dev.com/) so that we can grab the updated images without having to redownload the whole thing?

...or he could just do it the old fashioned way and release a patch with the new files as well as a new full release.
Seriously, what is the obsession with SVN? Yes it's convenient... for some

I considered svn for a bit, I personally don't use it but if enough people want it I'll look into it. But yeah, like death_au mentioned I'll probably just add little update "packs" to the first post for now.
