Performance should scale relative to the price and age of your hardware... just like any other game.

I don't miss HOPOs. None of the people I test with at home have any problems either. I think I'll leave the notes the way they are for now, but I'll keep it in mind for the future.

All kinds of changes today. Most important being the ability to compile the custom modules for your platform.
I provided binary files for Python 2.7 on win32. All other platforms should have a look at the README for instructions.

Update FoFiX and 4x. You'll need to install Cython and run 4x/setup.py build_ext if you aren't running python 2.7 on Windows.
Vocals aren't working with the rockmeter.ini right now, so if you have a mic set up you'll need to replace the rockmeter.ini with a blank file or just disable the mic.

Update - Added Template Branch

http://github.com/fuzion/4x/tree/Template

This 4x template theme contains a stripped down version of 4x with custom modules taken from default theme variables.
Feel free to use it if you want to start working on a theme with custom modules but don't feel like doing any real work.

I am so curious about the recent develpments in the 4x and especially this theme that I am seriously thinking about compiling it myself. However, seems to be a bit complicated (with the guide which can be found here). I wonder, if one could compile it (for test purposes only) for me, so I do not have to make the complicated procedure on my own and then provide the compiled files. I would really appreciate that. No further support requests from my side...I guarantee. Would this be possible? Dunno if it is important, but just for the sake of completeness: I use Windows 7, 64 Bit.

With best regards from Bochum...

There's going to be compiling necessary to run FoFiX itself from git soon, so you may as well get yourself set up for that now.

It's not as difficult as it looks.
