FoFiX v3.1xx development thread

NO HELP?

Hi! I need help. I have reinstalled the Windows XP and back-uped the FoFiX Folder on the external HDD. After the fresh instal of Windows I have installed the Python 2.4 with all requirements (I have been alpha tester before) and after SVN update I tried to run the game...and? I got this:

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "FretsOnFire.py", line 38, in ?
  File "GameEngine.pyo", line 31, in ?
  File "OpenGL\__init__.pyo", line 18, in ?
  File "OpenGL\__init__.pyo", line 14, in __set_attributes
IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'E:\\Games\\FoFiX\\data\\library.zip\\OpenGL\\version'

I would sugest you read the wiki ONCE more :P but as i am such a great guy here you go.

Code: Select all

This next part fixes a opengl/py2exe bug so it may not be necessary in the future. Only if you get an error when running the FretsOnFire.exe that says:

IOError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'D:\\Games\\Frets on Fire\\dist\\data\\library.zip\\OpenGL\\version'

   1. Go to your Python directory and go into the Lib and then site-packages directory
   2. Go into the OpenGL directory and edit the file called __init__.py
   3. Replace the line that reads:

          __version__ = string.strip(open(filename).read()) with __version__ = '2.0.2.01'

   4. Save this file
   5. Delete __init__.pyc and __init__.pyo in the same directory

hi :) i also move to python 2.6 with all stuff from http://code.google.com/p/fofix/wiki/Run ... erPython26 ( with 'Numeric: obsolete, replaced by numpy. ') plus latest src files by SVN
but i i try to compile i got the 'ImportError: No module named Numeric' in Audio.py any help?

[Nickman]

Apparently RB1 and RB2 tails look the same. Could have sworn they where diffrent before i looked :D

Anyway here are 2 videos (Not the best quality) that show how the tails look. One with 0% whammy and one with 100% whammy.
It's just 2 sinus curves. More whammy = larger curve. And when fenoftalein has implemented the particle effect then it can become almost complete :D

4 player is very cool, managed to stay at a playable range when using 2.4

python 2.4 63fps
python 2.6 17fps
python 2.6 psyco off 22fps

I got an issue with 3.100 and 3.120 beta 1 py2.6. Everytime i exit the game it doesn't exit completely. I have to go into the task manager and manually kill it.

I'm on win xp pro sp3

---- EDIT ----

Another problem i have the game set up for speed and i'm on a megalight theme and it still doesn't work great. I have the resolution set at 640 x 480. It's slow and laggy.

I found this error when trying to make a character on Trinidude4s Mac version

Code: Select all

UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode character u'\uf704' in position 0: character maps to <undefined>

uf704 represents the F1 key. Why is that in there?

Well i don´t know if it has something to do with it but I use F1toF5 to play
It worked before so i don't think that could be the problem

DAMN! I installed python 2.6 with every module. I did that with PATH and with exceptional...and? NOTHING...

The cmd window writes:

Code: Select all

and with .exe it writes:

Try extracting or deleting the library.zip.

Maybe try deleting Frets on Fire.app/Contents/Resources/data/users/players/FoFiX-players.cache and see if that fixes the error.

Are you sure that you have pyOpenGL "2.0.2.01" installed for python2.6? The link in the guide goes to a pyOpenGL 3.0.0 download.

Are you folowing this page? http://code.google.com/p/fofix/wiki/Run ... erPython26
If you are, tell us where you need more info, if it's not a case of info left out, are you sure that you should be using the svn to start with?
