I see that there is a doc folder included with the latest version of FoFiX. Maybe this will help those who want documentation. If you want to access the fretsonfire forum (http://www.fretsonfire.net/forums), you may use my throw-away account if you wish. I never read the forum, nor post. Though I ask that the password be unchanged and the account remain active so that I may also use it to gain the links to songs on occasion. username: afdadfad password: password

This game works well for me and I quite enjoy it. @damn: Strangely, I find only one song (bangbang) in the newest version. It's in the tutorials folder, along with three tutorials. When I originally downloaded FoFiX, it had 3 songs, as did the base fretsonfire version. I've found that to get more songs I have to visit the fretsonfire wiki (fretsonfire.wikidot.com). Most of the songs on the fretsonfire forums do require you to sign in to view them. I'm not surprised, as many of the songs were ripped from the games this one takes its ideas from. You're correct, there isn't a songs directory in the latest version, and they really should have included one. May I suggest creating either your-fofix-install-dir/songs or ~/.fofix/songs?

In comparison to the normal frets on fire, this game was just frustrating. It comes with no songs, the site nor the forums have any info how to get song, making it an awful overall awful experience.. Beautiful screenshot, too bad i couldn't even get to play.

It sure looks a hell of a lot better than stock FoF.

fofix is a mod of fretsonfire. Get the original fretsonfire on fretsonfire.com and you'll get the base song pack with it.

	Poor documentation posted by damn @ 74.37.93.145 on Sep 11 2009 12:42 AM
Compiled it, ran it. It demands I tell it where its song directory is. After a minute of digging through the directories, I realize there isn't one. I read the faq and the getting started pages on the wiki, neither one explains anything about the missing song directory. I took a guess that you have to provide them somehow, and that the devs were too lazy to add a single default song and directory so the program would do something to start with, so you could see if the freshly compiled code even worked at all. So, I went to the forum, found there's a couple sections related to songs, but I have to register to even look at them. At this point, I gave up. I just wanted to try out a game here, and it turned into an odyssey, and I've got IRL stuff to do now. This software's setup is rather user unfriendly ATM. There needs to be better documentation, and the game should probably have at least one song packed in, perhaps a song pack or two in the downloads section so people don't have to sign up to a forum they'll never read just to have a look at the game.
