Not to worry - you can still do the "old" style of theme making - it's only a little bit more scary for being in Python!

---AND MORE!---

here's an example of the change.

theme.ini

Code: Select all

[theme]
menu_x = 0.6
menu_y = 0.4
selected_color = #FFBF00
loading_phrase = i-can't-use-underscores._Rock and roll?
lobby_title_font = font

can become CustomTheme.py

Code: Select all

from Theme import *
class CustomTheme(Theme):
  def __init__(self, name, path, iniFile = False):
    Theme.__init__(self, name, path, iniFile)
    self.menuX = 0.6
    self.menuY = 0.4
    self.selectedColor = self.hexToColor("#FFBF00")
    #OR
    self.selectedColor = (1, .75, 0)
    self.loadingPhrase = ["I_can_use_underscores!", "Rock and roll?"]
    self.lobbyTitleFont = "font"

That's it! Those first four lines are all you need. Copy and paste. Just a few formatting changes other than that to get used to. Of course if you want to do more, you can do a lot more... but that isn't so bad, is it? Just don't forget to quote and indent!

...And of course, that format isn't final - when it is it will be all over the "how to make a theme" bits - but if any theme makers are feeling worried about the changes, you at least know that that is how it works right now and is roughly where we're headed. (And you'll note your theme.ini files still work (mostly)!)

I'm getting this error if I choose both career and quickplay to play with. (OverflowError: long int too large to convert to int). FoFiX returns back at the main menu after the setlist loading (I'm getting a the options screen then with the error message). I'm using Worldrave's GH3 theme with the latest revision both FoFiX and the GH3 theme. Here is my log file:

we appreciate u meaning well by telling us something is broke, but thats why we have said more then a fair amount of times to expect things to get broken with new 4.0.There are TONS of new coding being done as well as TONS of cleaning being done in this release, and the team is always working hard at keeping things in working order, but no matter what, this is expected so just resort to 3.120 final for now if this isn't convenient to wait, and most of the time these problems wont last long before it's fixed. you support is appreciated though. hang in there.

It isn't even necessary to revert to 3.120 if you are testing. Simply report the bug (preferably on the tracker and do an svn rollback to a working revision until the problem is solved.

worldrave · Postby **worldrave** » Wed Oct 07, 2009 6:50 pm

I was just saying, since we agree'd for users not to post bugs here and rather to post them on the issue's tracker, and that we already mentioned to the users to expect bugs and breakage is all. But more and more it seems that if people can't follow guidelines already posted in the 1st topic, they aren't really candidates for testers. That's all i meant by above. :wink:

He sounded like he was confused at why he was getting an error when trying SVN builds, it's gonna happen at times.

i just had a thought but don't know where to post it so here's as good as anywhere

for the new que feature why not use the bule and orange fret buttons,

if you select your difficulty/instrument in the lobby that's the scores that display

there's already plans for a "more info" section so this would be a non issue

there should be a part mode like in guitar hero 5 where you can drop in and out on any instrument during the song

I think there's something wrong with animated hitflames. I'm using WR GHIII theme. Sometimes it appears but sometimes its not. I don't know how to reproduce this problem. BTW, the note streak counter should appear when we have reached 27 notes, I think, for GHIII.

last few revisions i haven't been able to launch, have the required modules for 2.4 changed?
i get this in the console and it closes before reaching the first menu

C:\fofix\latest build\src>python fofix.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "fofix.py", line 290, in ?
main()

Log.debug("PyOpenGL version: " + OpenGL.__version__)

Should be fixed now.

you shouldnt be using an older theme for alpha testing... some things will get broke and noones upgrading the gh3 theme to follow until the 4 is final

This is also happening in final version.

...4.000 isnt final

if he's talking about 3.120 he's in the wrong section

fofix can't find my songs

I set the path to the folder with the songs but when I select the music he
not find the files

example

defined path: C:/fretsonfire/songs/

if I select the song Enter Sandman: C:/fretsonfire/songs/Metallica - Enter Sandman/

he tries to find C:/fretsonfire/s/Metallica - Enter Sandman/guitar.ogg
