I posted this at KOF and decided to post this here too. I have decided to create a few extras for FoFiX 3.121. I'm hoping to create some cool useful things. This is what I have so far.
Version 1.1
How To Use Ratings
The ratings system is simple to use. At the end of playing a song, you will have a new option called "Rate Song". A ratings scale of 1-5 is used (5 being the best). The rating is then saved in the song.ini for future game use. I have also added a new sorting option that takes advantage of the ratings system. If you choose "sort by ratings" in the settings, your songs will be sorted in the Song Choosing Scene by their rating. Higher rated songs will appear first, followed by the lower rated ones. Songs without ratings will appear last.
How To Use Multiple Author Code
Since many songs are now being authored by more then one person, I have made the credits fair. There is now separate "frets=" for each part. Which credit appears in the game depends on the part being played. I have also added fallback logic so "frets =" will be used if the new credit lines aren't present. To use, just put one of the following in the song.ini
guitar_chart = [name here]
bass_chart = [name here]
drum_chart = [name here]
vocal_chart = [name here]
How To Install
You must be using FoFiX version 3.121 for my code to work. To install just put the following files into your library.zip located in the data folder of your fofix.
