Missed Notes idea
I was just playing RB2 the other day and it occured to me that the missed notes in FoFiX (with the "keep on going" option) just stay the same(making it a bit confusing as to which notes are being missed, especially in fast songs). I imagine it wouldn't be that hard to code it so that missed notes turn red like in RB. I'm also wondering if it's possible to add the RB2 fill graphic(maybe in 4.0.0 fill graphics will be customizable). I had another idea but I can't remember it O.o I'll add it when I remember it.

Re: Missed Notes idea
I actually wrote code a while ago to turn missed notes red. I'll wait till the next FOFiX is released then port my code over to it.

Re: Missed Notes idea
Just some brief thoughts on this:
When are the notes counted as "missed"? Is it as soon as they pass under the fretbuttons? Or after they leave the hitwindow entirely?
I think if the notes do change it shouldn't be until after they leave the hitwindow entirely, otherwise it gets a bit confusing when it looks like you've missed notes but you really hit them late.
Also, rather than just turning them red, it should probably include support for a notesmissed.png or something, in which you could customize all 5 notes (and HOPOs). I guess you wouldn't need to define missed star notes (if you miss a star note they all turn normal anyway).
...and then perhaps a theme.ini setting for fretM_color (for missed 3D notes), and maybe even a new set of missed note textures for the 3D notes.
Heh. I guess there was more to that than I thought.

No.
But 3.120 has been released since the time that post was made; that's what he meant.

I know it hasn't, I thought he referred to 4.0 since he said "Next FoFiX" which sounds like a New Version :P

3.120 just came out. Why would there be another major release a few weeks later?
