Well, I believe that it could be very useful having a online based song.ini generator on the website or something. I have prepared a PHP script for you to view.

Nopaste link:[link]

Code:

Code: Select all

<html>
<head>
<title>Frets on Fire song.ini Generator</title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
/*-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------/
Frets on Fire song.ini generator ver 0.1 beta
Scripted by: coolcat50
/------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------*/
if (isset($_POST['submit'])) {
   //Retrieve form data
   $songname = $_POST['song'];
   $artist = $_POST['artist'];
   //$_POST['test'] is the Cassette Color. For an odd reason it is the only name that is transferring its value to $col
   $col = $_POST['test'];
   //Display text to copy into file inside of textarea
?>
   Ini file:
   <form>
   <textarea rows="10" cols="30">
[song]
artist = <?php echo $artist."\n";?>
name = <?php echo $songname."\n";?>
cassettecolor = <?php echo $col."\n";?>
   </textarea><br />
   Copy and paste the text inside the box into a song.ini file.
   </form>
<?php
   } else {
?>
<form name="inigen" method="post">
Song: <input type="text" name="song" /><br />
Artist: <input type="text" name="artist" /><br />
Cassete Color (HTML format) <input type="text" name="test" value="#000000" /><br />
<input type="submit" value="Generate" name="submit" />
</form>
<?php
}
?>
</body>
</html>

I'll post the version above in about three minutes.
There you go: Online song.ini generator
NOTE: The rest of my site sucks, so no commenting about that, ok? :) I will probably redesign the whole script a little bit, so you know ;)

I suggest adding a "Fretter" option

(in the ini for Rock 'n' Roll Revolution, it's

Code: Select all

frets = BSRaven and Nate Monoxide
, as an example)

Fixed. Hope coolcat 50 don't mind. If 'fretter' field is empty, it don't appear. Else it appear with syntax you gave me.

If anyone has a random suggestion, please post :)

Well, I would have added that anyway if I knew about it. I am not much of a song writer and I don't know all the properties of the ini file. It is fine, and you can add a little note in the main comment about your addition. I will add it to the main post, if you wish.

I'm planning on adding a song.ini generator in the world charts.
It should include all of the info (including new stuff that doesn't do much for you yet).
Some information would be good to verify (like the song author for frets=)

when that will happen, who knows.

I can do that easy! Watch.

Instructions: Copy/paste into a text file saved as a song.ini in a new song directory.

[song]
artist =
name =
scores =
cassette color =

I might do a version where it makes a file with these content instead, I'll see if I do it.

Hey! this is cool! what about Delay? Some people like delay to be in the ini file. and perhaps BPM if that goes in the ini.

It's cool though.

Raph thats done in VB i assume...?

If so i think you can add a color selection pallet to that so the user wouldn't have to randomly enter the color.... I don't remember how to do that though... I think it might be one of the add-in components in Visual Studio 6.0

Edit: or you can make another form with some preset colors...
Just some food for thought... shouldn't be too much coding... I think i might try and figure out how to do that... if i'm not too lazy.

Hexcolor code are not random and easy to understand, they represent the amount of RGB in your color "mix":
#RRGGBB where each digit varies from 0 to F
So #FF0000 is full red, #00FF00 full green and #0000FF full blue. You create different colors by choosing the amount you want.
#FF3300: lots of red, a bit of green, no blue = orange

It has been done with c#, a language i started to learn 3hours ago. i added the color picker and fixed a small bug (update) but i don't believe i will continue to work on this as it is quite a useless tool in my opinion. creating song.ini is, even with notepad, in no way a complex task

I didn't mean random... i just meant it would help not having to guess a value and make it easier to select the desired color...

Bu ya... its no big deal... cool little app for those who are note-pad challenged.

Well, with Raph's song.ini generator I think this topic can pretty much be closed now unless people have more suggestions.
