Keyboard on RB3? How about FoFiX!?!?!

[beebe]

Pro mode would be a LOOOOONG way off. Besides, people don't want to chart multiple difficulties / parts these days, who's going to actually chart a full pro mode with all difficulties? I can't see that happening for a long, long time.

Nobody really does all difficulties already anyway, so you'd really just see expert I think like we do now. But the only issue is that not a lot of people will be able to play expert for a long time, unless maybe you can actually play the song on a real guitar which I think would make it loads easier. But I guess if it was implemented and we had all the RB rips of charts with it that would give people enough to get good enough at it. But yeah it'll a long time before any of that happens... sadly enough :(

just use your typing keyboard like puppetz do lol.

So any new info on whether fofix v4.0 will be able to support keyboard charts?

[aander91]

You're getting wayyyyy ahead of yourself dude. Still don't even really have all the details of how the gameplay will be, or how exactly the controller will work with it.

[ADeadlierSnake]

alright. i havent spent too much time researching the keyboard part tbh. I cant freakin wait for the keyboard to come out though. Only if it eventually becomes compatible with fofix that is. Im not particularly excited about rock bands setlists nor the fact that its not available on pc.

Wow I found this really cool site
I loved the work you are doing to implement new things in fofix,
But with respect to the keyboard
So how would it all
the keyboard will be implemented or not in fofix?
And roughly how long it takes to occur?

With all the stuff documented now compared to back then, it shouldn't be too hard. Honestly, it's easier to implement than the Pro-Guitar just because there is less variables to keep track of. One can almost just take the Guitar code, copy-pasta it, add more strings and stuff like that and you have the new instrument. The hard part is creating the controller profile, that code is what seems to be the most complex and why we don't have more instruments set up. They take a bit of work.

But Phase Shift (dwsk, whatever) seemed to figure it out, so we know that it's possible.
Maybe we should get those guys to help us out. (With ALL respect to the GENIUS coding team for Fofix, of course)

Hi guys,
You do not think the keyboard should be just as implementers of
what happened in the phase shift (based on the strum of the battery)?
