BongoBob Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Clicky. Frets on Fire is a Guitar Hero clone for Windows, Linux, and Mac, that I havn't been able to put down. It has a built in importer for Guitar Hero songs if you own Guitar Hero or Guitar Hero II, but the best part is the community, for you can take your own songs and make them work in the game with enough skill and patience. And most of them (Enter Sandman is just kick ass to play) are damn accurate (and sick as hell). And if you don't like playing with a keyboard and are on Windows, you can always buy the RedOctane universal converter and use a GH controller with it. It only comes with 3 songs (4 including the tutorial) but if you search Frets On Fire on any certain torrent sites that mind start with iso and end with hunt or the pirate and bay, you'll be sure to find more. So who here has played it before? I just got a perfect rating (95% accuracy) on the GH2 Beast And The Harlot on easy, and got and a perfect rating on Enter Sandman.
Tyrion Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I'm waiting for a guitar imitation game to fully recreate Maggot Brain by Funkadelic. Only then will I give in to the temptation. (Also, the tutorial's comments are based off the parody video of Yngwie Malmsteen) By the way, do you know if they have guitar tabs for these songs anywhere? It's frustrating to not be able to play these songs on the keyboard even though I could on the guitar.
TiE23 Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Already have Guitar Hero 2, I'll look into this when I get bored.
Mike Windu Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I echo TiE's sentiments. Already having GH2 means I can actually play these songs...
Jeff Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Looks pretty cool, I might try it out when I get home.
MrWally Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Just downloaded it and played it. Great fun. I was suprised by how natural the controls felt, but I wasn't very good 62% accuracy on easy :/ However for some reason the sound quality isn't very good on my computer, but that's probably a hardware compatibility error. It's by no means bad, but it's a slight annoyance. Nice find Bongo EDIT: Okay, now I'm addicted.
Negative Sun Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I still need to master Six (Medium) on GH2 first lol
BongoBob Posted March 26, 2007 Author Posted March 26, 2007 I got all the GH1 and 2 songs, and am gonna start playing through them in the order of the game. I played Ace Of Spades by Motorhead earlier today, god I love that song XD Btw, it worked excellently at school today when running from my old MP3 player turned portable hard drive

MarcusLeCoy Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 I get an error when I try to install it. "The specified module can not be found. LoadLibrary(pythondll) failed" It makes me want to cry, as I've beaten every song on both Guitar Hero games on expert except Jordan and I want to make some new songs. If anyone knows what's up and why it isn't working, could they pweese help? EDIT: (aw damn, didn't notice how old this topic was, oh well. My needs are more important than this threads oldness!)
IG-64 Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 (aw damn, didn't notice how old this topic was, oh well. My needs are more important than this threads oldness!) Generally, if a thread is still on the first page, it's not old. I've never played Guitar Hero, but isn't the guitar controller half the fun?
BongoBob Posted April 2, 2007 Author Posted April 2, 2007 I don't know if it's quite the same, but it's definately fun with they keyboard. Unfortunately Marcus, I have no idea why it's doing that to you.
MarcusLeCoy Posted April 2, 2007 Posted April 2, 2007 Bah, no worries then, I'll just install it on another computer and see how it turns out.
BongoBob Posted April 3, 2007 Author Posted April 3, 2007 What song? And uh btw In other words, NO U.
MrWally Posted April 3, 2007 Posted April 3, 2007 haha GOOD song. I was trying to do that one.. it's hard O_o Oh, and for everyone else out there, "Easy" in FoF is equivalent to Medium in GH. EDIT: Just tried Beast and the Harlot again... 95%. Meh, could be better.
BongoBob Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 That reminds me. I wonder if the built in importer in FoF works for GHII 360? Would add some more songs to my library. I've been trying to do the GH songs on Hard And Expert. This is where FoF's main weakness comes into play. Hitting shift and enter back to back just doesn't jell that well for me. Meaning the songs you can semi-easily strum out with a GH controller are suddenly impossible.
Nalukai Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 http://www.freetar.net/forums/ that is freetar hero.. a java based console that has been in the works way before frets on fire... anton styruk had to leave the program because he got a programming gig for activision and cant do anything else related... more ppl took up the code and is working on constant player felt enjoyment of making their own songs for it..

TiE23 Posted April 4, 2007 Posted April 4, 2007 Hey, does this game - when you play the Guitar Hero 1/2 songs - have the same notes? If so, I wanna see if Bongo can do Jessica and Less Talk More Rokk on Medium.... hurrrrrrr this must be so much easier on a keyboard hurrrrrr.... Speaking of Less Talk More Rokk, I unlocked that song yesterday and it's so fun and easy to play that on medium I've gotten 5 stars 3 times out of around 10 tries. 170k FTW!
BongoBob Posted April 4, 2007 Author Posted April 4, 2007 Jessica (Medium) Jessica (Hard) Proof that those are the scores for Jessica and not some random song Less Talk More Rokk (Medium) Proof of Less Talk More Rokk Real men play on Hard difficulty TiE

Tell me, (I really don't know) how do you play? Is it like number keys with the space bar as the strum paddle? Also, if my defense back-fires, I'll just blame your playing of drums as an excuse for any unwarranted talent.
