FoFix - Slide Notes

Postby Crazyfingers » Sun May 18, 2014 2:05 am

Hi, this is my first post. I'm requesting slide notes for FoFiX.
Slide notes can be found in GH:WT and GH:Metallica songs.
I'm not sure if this has been requested before.
To fret or edit songs I use EOF v1.8RC10 (r1337), which finally grants the slide note feature.
The problem is that FoFix v3.121 refuses to load a song which contains slide notes.
I click return and I receive 'Browsing Collection...' for ½ sec and then it returns back to song list.
It won't load. Why not? When will slide notes be implemented?
Thanks in advance.

Well... I don't think they will, FoFix last update has been ages ago.
Someone is rewriting the script, but its very uncertain if he will continue...
If you want to play slider notes. The game Phase Shift does use them. If you don't want to use Phase Shift, I suggest you change the slider notes in songs you like to hammer-ons.

EOF has had support for slider sections for over 2.5 years now, but they are encoded using a mechanism known as "sysex events". It was later found that the MIDI code FoF and FoFiX use has a bug where it can't handle this. Somebody on the forum posted a while ago that the original FoF was being rewritten in C++, but there's been no progress mentioned in the past couple months or so. Hammer-ons may be as close as you can get, but FoFiX doesn't support forced hammer on notation either.

Thanks for quick replies. It's pity that FoFix don't support neither forced HOPOs nor Slide sections.
First I thought it did, but wasn't sure so this fact was really helpful.
I've tested Phase Shift, but fortunately the controls are unsatisfying.
I'd stick to FoFix even if it hates slide sections. Thanks.

As far as I am concerned you can change the controls of Phase Shift, just not that easy :P
