RF-mod 2.0 - electric boogaloo

[nwru]

Because it's late tonight, I will probably release 3.0 tomorrow instead of tonight. I still need to fix the bug when the base_library is not set.

Try to start a new thread for the new release. This one is getting a little unruly.

BTW, thanks for all your hard work =)

Amazing work! The HOPO is perfect and it even makes sense in custom songs! It's like the game is psychic!

2 littles things :

- folder color is not taken (it's color in doc, no cassettecolor, maybe you use cassettecolor... no idea)
- folders are not taken in the filter by letter key

[raph666]

Rogue_F I also have the string index out of range problem.

I have a folder with all my user's-made-downloaded songs in it, I tried all the 3way of sorting them and I have the error when I try to "jump" to a song by pressing a letter (no matter what sorting option is set). I should try to fix the .ini but I'll have to verify hundreds of them :p It must be related to those songs because it's working good in other folders with like, the GH songs

[winniez]

another thing I noticed (not new) can you make the song sorting case unsensitive ?

Some people forget the caps at the song title and those songs are at the end of the list

[Rogue_F]

winniez.

Folder color remains the same as in the previous RF-mod. It uses casettecolor. Folders don't filter. They just sort based on the first key you press a-z and 1-9 ascii only. Other character sets wont work.

I can probably change it to a caseinsensitive sort, but my folder stuff will probably go away in the 4.0 version. In the port to the new code I will just be using their way of doing things I have already done.


raph - If you understand what a binary search is, do that to figure out which folder is causing you the problem. I think the problem as reported by someone else is the 'artist =' in the song.ini was missing causing the problem. I dont recall fixing that bug.

And I will start a new 3.0 thread when 3.0 is out. Since it's not out yet, I did not want to put this in it.

hi thanks for this great mod, everything is near perfect.
Just one thing I notice with your HO/PO, while it's far better than the offcial one of FoF, it seems to have some problems. While playing Woman - Wolfmother of GH2, some frets which are supose to be Ho/Po activated were not, also in other songs, for the same portion of frets (but at differents moments of the song), sometimes they were Ho/Po "friendly" and sometimes not ???
Maybe your Ho/Po detection is too strict, I don't know.

Anyway thanks again for your mod!

Could you explain a binary search? I'm having the exact same problem

[Rogue_F]

Lets say you have 100 files in the folder that is affected.

You take the first 50 and move them to some other location.

Now you test. Do you still have the problem? If so, then the problem file is in the 50 remaining in the original folder, if not, then the problem folder is in the 50 remaining in the ones you moved to the other location.

you then take that set of 50, divide them in half again, move 25 away, and leave 25 there.

Now you test. If the problem is there, it's in the remaining 25, if the problem is not it is in the moved 25.

Repeat until you find your problem folder.

With 100 files you can find it in 6-7 tries.

Thanks Alex, it worked great and fast
didn't know what "binary search" was before you made me search for it but it surely is logic and efficient. I had a couple of .ini files that were causing problem, it was a bit longer than 6-7 tries but the binary chop idea is great! I'm happy to have learned something

[Rogue_F]

What exactly was the problem in the .ini? something missing? funny characters?

-Alex

[raph666]

Ok yes! it was all because of missing "artist ="
I feel kind of dumb because I searched for them without realizing that no artist was displayed ingame :p so it was easy to spot them actually

But well, it's really because of the song.ini . One funny thing is that I couldn't load those song...I mean I had the preview and previous highscores (previous to my rf-mod install) on the selection screen but when selecting it, it would look like if it was an empty folder (the reason for the string index out of range??). I guess you made it so the game see song.ini without the artist= as a "folder.ini", is it to support the use of folder labels?

[Rogue_F]

Yeah, someone mentioned that before. I had forgotten to fix it. I'll try to squeeze that in before I post it tonight.
