Releases: TeamRizu/OutFox
OutFox-AlphaV-0.5.0-pre042
Release Date: 25th December 2023
New Alpha V build! will update with news when we've had a nap.
This will generate a new cache, and if you're moving from alpha 4 LTS to this build, do not use the same preferences.ini - let the game generate a new one and then match up your settings.
ChangeLog in raw form is here: https://outfox.wiki/releases/A0.5.0-042/ <-- Warning: It is huge!
32 bit builds / RPi builds will come in time, but we wanted to get these out for today so you can play an updated build.
Happy holidays from all of us at Project OutFox!!
OutFox-AlphaV-0.5.0-pre041
Release Date: 1st May 2023
Alpha V Playtest Public Build pre041 - 1st Anniversary Celebration
(Incorporates Internal Builds 0.5.0-000 to 0.5.0-041)
(Incorporates Internal Builds alpha5-silver A0 to A19)
This build continues to stabilise and work on fixes we had begun to work on in 040, which was our last update. Sorry the release took over 2 months! We were working hard all that time!
Thank you for all the reports, and the playing time guys, it is really appreciated, it's allowed us to push on with newer parts of the project that would have been delayed a bit longer if we didn't have you kind folks playing this work-in-progress game.
The ChangeLog is a bit vast for this month, I hope you take a moment to sift through it, but if you have questions, either ping us in discord or leave us a message!
We have fixed the OS issues on Linux and MacOS 12.6.x and 13.x, sorry this update took a while!
We didn't want to patch up all the tiny bits on Steam so we felt it better to just get a big update done - but we won't do that again, it's a bit too hairy for us!
Thank you to all the Mac and Linux users that reported the issues for us to fix, and to you guys for continuing to support our little project, as well as the players signing up to the playtest - we will be opening this up for you all very very soon!
This change list is pretty long, as we have several mini updates in it! I hope you enjoy reading through these, do let us know if there are things we can do to improve this experience for you guys!

=====================================
THIS BUILD HAS A NEW SOUND BACK END!!
This build utilises a new back end and completely does away with the old SM5 drivers. It was super heavily requested by the community that we have something configurable that could be used to lower latency in the game for key-sounded and hit sounded modes, so we delayed this build to squeeze it in. There are still a couple of bugs which will be ironed out, but for 99% of users, this build will work fine.
LOW LATENCY AUDIO GET!
With lower latency, comes some compromises. It is super clear and sharp, you have better clarity, it obviously uses new drivers, which include some new preferences, see below.
We have discovered Discord does NOT like low latency based drivers... AT ALL. please bear this in mind if you decide to play with ASIO/set your CoreAudio below 1024, and ensure you have a secondary sound card Discord can use, so you aren't greeted with silence.
WINDOWS:
ASIO supports down to a blocksize of 32 in the internal driver, now while you can set this in the new preferences (see below) if you hear crackling or garbled audio, just raise this a bit. You can use anything from 32 to 4096 as your block s...
OutFox-LTS-4.19.0
Release Date: 14th April 2023
"The path comes to an end"
(Incorporates Internal Builds 4.19.0-rc0 to 4.19.0-rc7)
Not much to report in this build, many bug fixes, and some patches as reported by users, this is likely the last big patch to the Alpha 4 branch, as the team has moved over to full time development on Alpha V.
We will be pushing the next build of Alpha V (041) to the GitHub, so this space will still be where you can get builds, and do still report bugs if you find any!
Over the next few months you will see some of the Alpha 4 reported bugs either being closed or moved and checked in Alpha V, as a lot of the pump bugs cannot be resolved on 0.4.x so it will be easier to maintain one active branch for the team.
We did this with Alpha 3, 2 and 1, and it's just a natural progression as we build on the work we've done over the past 4 years.
Memory cards are sorted out once again! The deadlock bug was fixed.
We also have moved the minefix patch to a special function so that it doesn't affect modes that do not require it.
This build MAY BREAK YOUR PYTHON2/3 INPUT!! We are looking for folks with the hardware to help us test and fix the drivers. We have had to remove the vulnerable libusb libs/dlls for Windows as they were flagging up as negative.

OutFox-LTS-4.18.1
Release Date: 31st October 2022
Winnie Sanderson: "I want my book!"
(Incorporates Internal Builds 4.18.1-rc0 to 4.18.1-rc2)
ALL:
Mode Specific
- ❕✅ Update NSIS system
- ❕✅ Update All Hallow's Eve Splash
- ❕✅ Add pt-BR language support
- ❕✅ Added arm32 linux legacy for older (2010-2015) era ubuntu based development boards
- ❕✅ Fix mods being overwritten by their non base equivalents
- ❕✅ Fix first character being lost on the DWI parser
- ❕✅ Add new autogen system for installer
When should I use the Legacy builds of OutFox? - Why do you make them?
As part of our continued supporting of older hardware to prevent e-waste we have taken the time to support older versions of Linux, (primarily ubuntu 14.04 era). It is MUCH easier to install Linux on older hardware, than to try to keep it with windows. This is due to the way Microsoft handled their drivers in the late 2000s, and although we support back to Windows Vista (and XP somewhat), the best way to play on older hardware is to use Linux.
The extreme minimum requirement for OutFox is a Linux distro with a glibc version of 2.19-2.21 (Ubuntu 14.04 era)
To confirm your CXXABI and GLIBCXX versions you can do the following example on an ARM board:
open a terminal and type:
strings /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6 | grep GLIBCXX
strings /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/libstdc++.so.6 | grep CXXABI
This will give you a list of numbers.
The important factor here - If your list does not show GLIBCXX_3.4.22 and CXXABI_1.3.11 you will need to update your system to GCC 7.0 (which is still supported even on this old distros!)
For ubuntu you can simply do the following in a terminal, add sudo/su where appropriate:
apt-get update -y
apt-get install software-properties-common -y
add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test -y
apt-get update -y
apt-get install gcc-7 g++-7 -y
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-7 60 --slave /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-7
update-alternatives --config gcc
This will update your system to support the newer libc and g++ libraries you need for OutFox, and will keep the board alive.
The new 'arm32 legacy' build is for 32bit boards manufactured around the 2010s (2010-2016) often with a Tegra chip, with the Arm Cortex based processors of the time.
We have confirmed this with one of our players Chriswak who had an Nvidia Development Board, the Jetson Nvidia TK1
If you do use our legacy builds, we are always interested in what you are running us on! Tweet us your setups/cabs/weird ARM boards etc!

Due to there now being a limit on the length sometimes shown by GitHub we mirror it here on the OutFox Wiki.
PLEASE, IF YOU FIND ANY BUG IN OUR GAME REPORT IT EITHER BY MAKING A ISSUE ON OUR BUG TRACKER REPOSITORY OR IN OUR DISCORD SERVER, WE WON'T BE ABLE TO FIX BUGS THAT ARE NOT REPORTED TO US!
What Happened to 0.4.17?
0.4.17 passed initial testing from our valiant testing volunteers, however it failed the testing on cabinets and for those who use dance and pump modes for skill/technical based play. As the whole point of this LTS programme is to ensure stability and remove opportunity for the game to crash or have problems in general play this was unacceptable, and we went back to deep bug fixing which is why this release is later than planned, but provides a much more stable environment for play.
As with development we cannot guarantee you'll never crash, but we have reduced bugs and situations where that could happen while you're playing the game.
We hope you enjoy the fruits of our work, with this proper stable build, and appreciate your continued support!
New Mode: bongo!
Based on a game for home consoles released in the early 2000s, this mode brings in a highly requested fan favourite to OutFox!
Played using the left drum, right drum, and clapping, this fun mode at the moment uses the games TJA and OTO loaders to support fan created TJA content, and Mode 1 from osu files, though bear in mind, many of the osu files are not designed with fun in mind, so it may become painful using your hands to play these files!
You do NOT need to enable auto-gen for this mode! It uses any TJA or OSU files in your folders already to generate tracks! Remember our taiko support is ongoing, so some holds and effects do break sync, but we will be fixing these in time. We do not have a theme yet for this mode, so game-play is with the basic 'default' for now, so you can have a play and feel for it!
This is our 18th Working Game Mode that this engine supports, and we are truly humbled by the awesome support you, the players, provide us to continue to improve and expand on what this museum contains within it's wall of code!
We have designed this mode alongside the project OpenTaiko so that charts made using the new TJA letter types in the charting format will be cross-compatible between the two simulators moving forward.
Long Term Stable Builds Are Here! (Take 2!)
As part of our commitment to getting the game out of the eventual development hell, we have had a discussion and all agreed to keep the alpha 4.xx branch active for the next year while we work on finalising the alpha V branch.
What this means to you, the end user, is that if you do not want to have to change builds all the time and deal with 'new feature' bugs, then this branch will be maintained (for bug fixes only) in a 1 month bug fixing schedule until December 2022, then will move to a quarterly release schedule (so 4 more updates) until it is retired at the end of December 2023 with the final release being 4.24.
This branch is stable enough for the removal of the 'alpha' prefix, and if you get any bugs or issues do report it. Things deemed important will be back-ported to the 0.4.x branch, but the team will be focussing more on 0.5.x in 2023 and beyond.
New PandaLog File System
This month we also added a new logging system which will greatly help with any debugging needs that you have. We have changed the system, so that there is a main, a theme, and a crash-log now, and these have varying levels of detail, depending on need. If you happen to have a crash or need to debug a theme, or lua mod, this is now much easier to do.
On the log level preference, 0 shows full detail, where 5 will give you a reduced log-file, usually when you have everything set up and working well.
PLEASE NOTE:
As we no longer follow the SM logging system, we have added a dummy 'info.txt' for the Windows launcher of GrooveStats so the launcher for that system still works.
New FFMPEG system
This release also sees some changes to the FFMPEG builds used in OutFox. We had discovered there is a memory leaking bug in upstream which doesn't really affect many of the video players out there generally, the code we use to acquire and display video data is based on the functions that are bugged in newer versions, so folks using banners or video backgrounds would end up with crashing and freezes due to this.
We have reverted back to a much older 'bug free' build of 4.x for the time being until it is fixed by upstream. If you get any quirks or errors on videos, do let us know; we tried a lot of different formats and videos commonly used, but we didn't cover everything!
Linux Joystick Pref
This build adds a support option for those folks on some builds which have had evdev issues with the newer kernels (5.1+) making pads not show up.
By default OutFox uses the event system as this is recommended by distros like Ubuntu and Debian but with recent updates these can miss seeing pads and controllers.
The new pref UseLinuxJS (Use Linux JoyStick) sets /js* by default, so folks can access the controllers correctly. If you want the older behaviour, take a moment to set this to 0 in your preference.ini file in the /save folder. We will keep an eye on this for now, and if you get any errors about 'access denied' ensure your user is in the 'input' group using a terminal and:
sudo usermod -a -G input USERNAME
where USERNAME is your current user (type whoami) to see what this is in a terminal.
Let us know if you have any issues, and pop into the Discord server if you need any help!
pump fixes!
This month we have been working with the players and developers of the Infinitesimal theme for pump with fixing the hold situation in the simulation of this mode. With a lot of revisions and testing, we can happily report that the holds are operating properly now, and we are grateful to those that gave their time helping us perfect it!
New Always on Top Preference!
This preference was requested by a lot of our streamer players, as they said it can cause issues with the streaming and capture methods they use.
This preference which is simply entitled AlwaysOnTop is set to 0 (false) by default, which is the normal behaviour of the game. To en...

This build adds a support option for those folks on some builds which have had evdev issues with the newer kernels (5.1+) making pads not show up.
By default OutFox uses the event system as this is recommended by distros like Ubuntu and Debian but with recent updates these can miss seeing pads and controllers.
The new pref UseLinuxJS (Use Linux JoyStick) sets /js* by default, so folks can access the controllers correctly. If you want the older behaviour, take a moment to set this to 0 in your preference.ini file in the /save folder. We will keep an eye on this for now, and if you get any errors about 'access denied' ensure your user is in the 'input' group using a terminal and:
sudo usermod -a -G input USERNAME
where USERNAME is your current user (type whoami) to see what this is in a terminal.
Let us know if you have any issues, and pop into the Discord server if you need any help!
pump fixes!
This month we have been working with the players and developers of the Infinitesimal theme for pump with fixing the hold situation in the simulation of this mode. With a lot of revisions and testing, we can happily report that the holds are operating properly now, and we are grateful to those that gave their time helping us perfect it!
New Always on Top Preference!
This preference was requested by a lot of our streamer players, as they said it can cause issues with the streaming and capture methods they use.
This preference which is simply entitled AlwaysOnTop is set to 0 (false) by default, which is the normal behaviour of the game. To enable it while you stream you can set this to 1 and the game will always be on the top of the screen even if you click off or have a window behind it.
Thanks to Zui and Shrmp0 in the Discord for making the suggestion known to us and for our streamer friends for enjoying the game on different platforms.
New AllowRotation Preference!
This preference was back-ported from Alpha V as some of our users have requested support for rotational options. This pref is off by default, and allows rotation for vertical based screens where the resolution/display is rotated, mainly for vertical options.
StepLastSeconds Changes!
For songs which have a multiple chart in the folder, like pump, be-mu, po-mu, kbx via osu etc, there is a slight bug in the way the game sends the 'length' data to the theme/engine that counts stages at the moment. This is a long upstream bug and we are working on a fix in Alpha V, and will backport it when it is ready.
The issue is, if some charts are different lengths, they will show correctly in screen game-play, but only display the LONGEST length in the music wheel, or 'ScreenSelectMusic' as it's known to themers. Fixing this bug will also benefit other modes so it is something we want to work on.
New Installer for Windows!
This release has an updated installer that better reflects the feel of OutFox, and gives us a better platform to use moving forward. We hope you like it!

(Incorporates Internal Builds 4.16.1-rc0 to 4.16.1-rc3)
(Incorporates Internal Builds 4.17.0-rc0 to 4.16.0-rc5)

Introducing 0.4.17-LTS!
LONG TERM STABLE BUILDS ARE HERE!
As part of our commitment to getting the game out of eventual development spaghetti we have had a discussion and all agreed to keep the alpha 4.xx branch active for the next year while we work on the alpha V branch.
What this means to you, the end user, is that if you want to not have to change builds all the time and deal with 'new feature' bugs, then this branch will be maintained (for bug fixes only) in a monthly schedule until december, then will move to a quarterly release schedule until it is retired, likely next summer, but that date is very likely to change.
This branch is stable enough to be considered for the removal of the 'alpha' prefix, and if you get anything awry do report it.
New PandaLog File System
This month we also added a new logging system which will greatly help with any debugging needs that you have. We have changed the system, so that there is a main, a theme, and a crash-log now, and these have varying levels of detail, depending on need. If you happen to have a crash or need to debug a theme, or lua mod, this is now much easier to do.
On the log level preference, 0 shows full detail, where 5 will give you a reduced log-file, usually when you have everything set up and working well.
LTS Updates:
This month again has been mostly bug fixes. Some small updates and back-ports from Alpha V will always happen, as we cannot have things too unstable of course.

Steam Deck Testing
We have had a few reports about 'drift' on the Steam Deck, and we have done some testing as part of our development program for Alpha V and can confirm the game runs flawlessly in whichever mode you choose. We've had several users as well as our own deck in testing, and as we are well under way for our Steam launch this would be something that we and our testers would have noticed.
We will however make sure we have a set mapping done for our new Steam Release, but until we get the Early Access Builds out, you can wishlist us here and to check out the trailer!
We are excited for the upcoming Steam builds, and remember you can join the discord to help us shape these builds!

More be-mu updates
This month we have been polishing the modes ready for their Alpha V debut with proper themes. We have stabilised the way keysounds are loaded, and in this release we have also fixed hidden 'lanes' that the mode supported that were not played.
The parsing system has also seen another update, moving away from the legacy SM5 method and utilising the new OF style of properly defining and enabling all the lanes. In the past, StepMania could only mainly play a number of sounds related to the number of columns (lanes) and as the BMS reader was created for the historic DDR in BMS style charts, we had a lot of work to do to ensure proper expansion. In this release, the mode has seen some spring cleaning, enabling full keysound range, and properly displays and parses charts as it should.
Introducing foot support!
We have added a new sub-mode for be-mu which adds the legacy 'foot' or 'pedal' lane, which was popular in older simulators like nanasi. This mode adds one new column to 5 key making it 5 key, scratch, and foot. It heavily utilises channel 17, which some simulators double up as 'free scratch', but for ez2 fans, we wanted to keep it as close to what nanasi and others did back in the day.
We will not be supporting the much rarer '7k foot' as this was a non-standard extension to the BME specification, and would break po-mu charts in BME files, which we do support now properly, as it is still used today for charts.
More po-mu standardisation updates
po-mu mode now also supports Player 1 11-19 channel modes, featured in nanasi and some other simulators from the early 2010s. This is sometimes known as 'extended pomu'. po-mu now can also play back the correct keysounds, including the player hidden, and any effect channels that can be used.
Charts which did not use all the lanes for their mode, (7k o2j inspired lanes without scratch are an example) would often also not show up correctly, or be shifted by an entire column, or just parsed incorrectly. This has been fixed in this release, so 5K / 7K / 10K / 14K (no scratch) charts now read correctly. Thanks to Daniel and our friends at the BMS international community for reporting this to us.
po-mu in BME files have also been given a proper update, and we have fixed the lane errors that were reported to us, thanks to those of you that took the time to point out our extended channels were wrong!
We are happy now that the po-mu parser and the extender parser support matches what we aimed for in this mode, so we will finalise the notesloader with #RANK and #TOTAL support in Alpha V, which has the new lifebar and gauge code. Keep an eye out for the update!
pump Tweaks and Corrections
Thanks to all of our pump mode players that have been so patient while we work on getting the mode fixed up and right for you, I can appreciate you have been waiting for a long time for some of these issues to be resolved. We have fixed a few of the remaining timing issues and we hope these solve the weird gimmick issues we had before.
Thanks to shrmp0 and SheepyChris for helping us with the layout adjustments and column placement changes that are present in the engine this build; we should not expect themers to fix issues the engine really should have in built. A healthy engine makes a lightweight and fast theme.
We will continue working on this mode into the end of the year, so we hope you'll enjoy the fixes as they come!
Introducing 64bit Windows Builds
We have been testing the 64 bit windows builds for some time, but have yet to publicly release a build alongside our normal release programme, so this month changes that! The community have heavily requested the need for a 64bit build, especially with our multi-modal support system in place, which needs more songs/packs installed. Moving forward to our Steam integration, we needed to have a 64bit build for the users available on that platform.
Moving forward, as a lot of you will have questions;
No, we will not be discontinuing Win32.
Yes, we will continue to provide Win32 builds as many of you with cabs will need them
Steam will default to the 64bit build unless your system is 32bit.
Internal library updates
This month we have done several parity pulls from our upstream dependencies, as progress has been made on a lot of the bugs we had in the past. Vorbis and our other sound readers have enjoyed several bugfixes, as well as a big jump in bugs fixed in SDL has meant performance in this build has increased, especially for those on pre-2016 hardware, although everyone should see an improvement.
We have begun to add a few back-ports from the Alpha V Panda collection, designed to build stability as we look to sunset Alpha 4 next Spring. Alpha 4 Officially goes into LTS this month, being limited to only stability and bug fixes only. The main development push from August will be into Alpha V.
We will continue to support Alpha 4.xx until March 2023, but maintaining two separate branches would be too much to deal with for such a small volunteer team, and as a result, it'll be retired properly when Alpha V has matured and stabilised enough to be considered a suitable replacement.

Release Date: 19th June 2022
"Pump or Dump?"
(Incorporates Internal Builds 4.15.1-rc0 to 4.15.1-rc1)
Hotfix release!
This is a hotfix release to address a few bugs that escaped testing, and we thank our players for taking the time to report and help us debug them. The news for the release last week is also updated in this build.
ALL:

- ❕✅ Fixed mal-aligned column positions on para, ez2, be-mu, techno layouts - Closes #563
- ❕✅ Fixed crash on board being set outside of gh - closes #559
If you see a message that says The board texture has not been set. Good job. it means that the metric ShowBoard=true has been set. You can undo this to set it to false in modes that are not gh. It may show a message at the top of the screen if you have errors enabled, this will be here just as a temporary measure to see how often that metric was being set.
- ❕✅ Fixed crash on playback when revert from disk was used in the editor
- ❕✅ Fixed bpm > 100000000 to be warps again
- ❕✅ Fixed minefields flashing on the receptor - Closes #558
- ❕✅ Fixed quirk with autoplay not ignoring release
- ❕✅ Fixed check with type != group - Closes #557

pump mode updates.
This month has has a plethora of updates and fixes added to the pump mode; we have been working a lot in the background for this mode, but it required a lot of other things to be implemented beforehand, so it has taken a bit longer than planned to get these stuff off the ground.
This release has fixed a lot of the music length issues, charts ending early, charts not ending at all, charts having missing notes due to the song finishing at the incorrect time, and charts ending after 2 seconds (single) / 7 seconds (double). The reason for a lot of all these quirks was due to the charting methods used in stepf2 and stepp1 being based off an older version of StepMania which then had some custom code added by xMAx for those versions targeting pump only. We would like to thank xMAx for the insight and assistance with implementing some of those features into Project OutFox, but due to the fact we are a multi-modal simulator we had to heavily rewrite and redesign a lot of the functions and systems behind the original ideas they had.
We have written a custom parser for the stepf2 charts which internally is called NotesLoaderPIU. This focuses on only parsing charts using the old editor and targets pump mode, including the custom note types, and the effects and systems the mode needs. The parser uses the SSC header #VERSION: 0.81 to initialise this pathway for those charts.
This can lead to a few issues if you have any dance charts using version 0.81, if you get any quirks, you can just change this version number to 0.83 and it'll use the normal SSC parser.
New for this alpha, we have also added the feature for charts not set to 0.81, where you can create a blank file with the title ForcePIU in the group folder, and the game will use the PIU loader automatically. This is case sensitive, so use it as written here for it to work.
This alpha also begins to add support for notes within braces { 0 | h | 1 | v }. At the moment only h notes are implemented, with s and v planned for the next main alpha.
pumpholds have also had a major rewrite this release as well, with the stepping and judgement logic being more appropriate to the game system, with ticks and head logic being fixed as well. There are still likely to be a few quirks with it, as it's new code, and do let us know if there are things you notice that are incorrect.
Warps and how they are hit were also reworked, along with some notes and rows overflowing which caused a lot of the issues on how the game calcuated some of the file/song lengths in the musicwheel and evaluation screens. The values sometimes recorded in the #LASTSECONDHINT and #MUSICLENGTH in the cache file may not actually marry up - the game has several options internally for ensuring that songs do not go crazy on time. Again, this logic is new, so there may be edge cases that need to be ironed out. If you find a chart that is not behaving, let the team know so we can see what is happening.
There was also a lot of older code removed from the ScreenGamePlay branches of code that we inherited from older builds (3.x era) that we have removed as it was not really doing anything, and in some cases actually caused the new pump code to not function correctly. A few tweaks were also done for older .sm and .ksf charts and we fixed a lot of the math overflows due to the way the charts were implemented into the older SM build.
You can have a better experience than the 'default theme' by downloading the new pump theme that is being developed called Infinitesimal from here; it will be incorporated into Project OutFox as a default theme for pump coming in Alpha V. The theme is created to give you a faithful experience, using original assets and textures.
We hope you guys have fun with the fixes, and we have more planned in time!
be-mu (and po-mu) fixes
We had reports of the game being very unhappy with a lot of the earlier community charts from the BMS of Fighters series, and charts mainly created before 2009, so we have fixed a few of these not being parsed correctly.
We also have restored the 4k "DDR in BMS" chart support that Squirrel accidentally broke when adjusting the channel support. This has now been fixed and those simfile are recognised as dance charts once again.
There were also several crashes with the vs modes of po-mu and be-mu as well and these have been fixed as well, so 2 player works as intended.
rtMIDI and portMIDI driver updates
We have had a few requests to reimagine the midi drivers for those with DJ controllers or systems which use channels but send the same notes. The MIDI standard states a controller should be able to do this with the client application supporting the note/channel sent data, so we have changed the way this is done to ensure we are compliant. Crossfaders and rotary controls, as well as some pitch bend triggers do have some weird quirks at the moment, but as we don't have any modes that support these at the moment do not try to map them as a control.
We added up/down jog wheel support for those who play be-mu on MIDI, so this works as designed now for everyone using midi for their jogs.

New Versioning, folders, and a short news update.
Following this release OutFox will be officially dropping the 5.3 prefix from our versioning to lessen confusion from our user base. We used to be 5.3.0.4.xx.xx as we were working on the game, but many of our users preferred to use the Alpha 4.xx versioning, leaving the 5.3 alone. Following consultation with ensuring we are compliant with our binary signing requirements, we have decided to drop this long version number and just use the 0.x.y.z which is a lot easier to read.
Internally we were using the alpha builds like this to simplify our own understanding, and it seemed the easiest way to move forward. This build is formally known as 0.4.14, and we will be dropping versioning from folders and suchlike moving onward. We have removed the final parts that we needed for validation, so we are pleased to announce signed binaries for Windows will be available in the summer.
Given this change, the location of the save folders has changed. Following here are the new save locations:
(If you're in an existing installation, you can just rename your existing save folder to the new name that belongs to your OS)
Windows: %AppData%\Roaming\Project OutFox (If in non-portable mode)
MacOS: ~/Library/Preferences/Project OutFox
Linux: ~/.project-outfox/
Themes or systems which check for 'StepMania' in the product family may fail to find OutFox until updated, we have reached out to the developers of Simply Love and let them know about our updates and they have let us know it will be updated in due course.
If you are using using Simply Love please follow the guide below to replace the files in the mean time.
Simply Love fixes needed for Alpha 4.14
With the change of the Product Family and ID to OutFox and dropping the 5.3 suffix, there will be instances where Simply Love will break again due to its checks for "stepmania", so changes will need to be made.
(The files mentioned on this guide are included on the binaries section)
Upon starting the game, I get a message saying this build is unsupported.
That's the inital check coming from SL-SupportHelpers.lua, in a function called StepManiaVersionIsSupported(), which checks which versions of the game are supported. Only a single new line needs to be added to support OutFox on the list.
(Located in Simply Love/Scripts/SL-SupportHelpers.lua)
StepManiaVersionIsSupported = function()
-- Add this line!
if type(ProductID) == "function" and ProductID():find("OutFox") then return true end
if type(ProductFamily) ~= "function" or ProductFamily():lower() ~= "stepmania" then return false end
if type(ProductVersion) ~= "function" then return false end
if type(ProductVersion()) ~= "string" then return false end
-- SM5.0.12 is supported (latest stable release)
-- SM5.1.x is supported
-- SM5.2 is not supported because it saw significant
-- backwards-incompatible API changes and is now abandoned
-- SM5.3.x is supported (beta status because it's not open source yet)
return IsSMVersion(5, 0, 12) or IsSMVersion(5, 1) or IsSMVersion(5, 3)
endWhen I finish a song, the theme keeps failing me, what is that?
That comes from a check from a file called FailOnHoldStart.lua. Given the changes to how OutFox now calculates the end of the song, this can break the theme's method to calculate its own end point.
(Located in Simply Love/BGAnimations/ScreenGameplay overlay/FailOnHoldStart.lua)
-- We need a way to check if the player gave up before the song properly ended.
-- It doesn't look like the engine broadcasts any messages that would be helpful here,
-- so we do the best we can by checking the song position.
local af = Def.ActorFrame{
OffCommand=function(self)
-- Replace this line!
local fail = STATSMAN:GetCurStageStats():GaveUp()
-- local fail = (GAMESTATE:GetCurMusicSeconds() < GAMESTATE:GetCurrentSong():GetLastSecond())
-- In course mode always fail if we're not already on the last
-- song. If we are on the last song, then we fall back to the
-- condition above.
if GAMESTATE:IsCourseMode() then
local course = GAMESTATE:GetCurrentCourse()
if GAMESTATE:GetCourseSongIndex() + 1 < course:GetNumCourseEntries() then
fail = true
end
end
-- We have to fail both players as we stopped the song early.
if fail then
-- Let's fail the bots as well.
for player in ivalues( GAMESTATE:GetEnabledPlayers() ) do
local pss = STATSMAN:GetCurStageStats():GetPlayerStageStats(player)
pss:FailPlayer()
end
end
end,
}
return afAnnouncing a cross platform ParaPara Paradise Driver!
Thanks to eks-d parapara for the image! (https://paramania.kirakira.org/ has an OutFox supported theme!)
Following an overwhelming demand from the community, we have rewritten the old legacy PPP controller driver from the PS2 to work on all devices OutFox supports.
To use this new driver on your Mac or linux machine, go to your preferences.ini and use one of the following to get your controller to work:
Please Note: You will need to add one of these so your controller will work!
Windows
(para only):
InputDrivers=para,legacy,minisdl
(para and rtmidi):
InputDrivers=para,rtmidi,legacy,minisdl
Mac OS (M1 and Intel)
(para only):
InputDrivers=para,SDL
(para and rtmidi):
InputDrivers=para,rtmidi,SDL
Linux (x86_64/ARM/Raspberry Pi)
(para only):
InputDrivers=para,SDL
(para and rtmidi):
InputDrivers=para,rtmidi,SDL
The controller must be plugged in before you start OutFox, and it is recommended for M1 based Macs you have a USB C hub that has built in USB2 ports. This will give you the greatest compatibility with older hardware. Do send us your ParaPara setups, we'd love to see them!
