Free text:

Guitars On Fire is a Guitar Hero clone, similar to [[Guitarfun Wii|Guitarfun]] and [http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/ FretsOnFire]. It can play Frets On Fire compatible songs, which can be easily found on the internet, including the FretsOnFire fan forum. It incorporates graphics from both Guitarfun and FretsOnFire and includes some new graphics, but does not use any code from FretsOnFire, and only a minimal amount of code from Guitarfun. ==Features== * 5 players support. * Correct notes (not on 100ms intervals) and correct use of the delay= value in the ini file. * No lag (because of preloading). * Play any FretsOnFire song, not just those included in the GH games. * Play with 4 guitars, all as guitar, or as bass, whatever you want. * Playable on the Wii. * Can fail a song (more pushing gameplay). == Installation == One of the download options comes with a few free sample songs from Frets on Fire. The default Frets on Fire songs have been reduced in quality to keep the download size smaller. All FretsOnFire songs should work with GuitarsOnFire. You can find many more songs all over the internet. Guitars on Fire loads songs from the following locations on your SD card: */GuitarsOnFire/songs/ */guitarfun/songs/ */apps/GuitarsOnFire/songs/ */apps/guitarfun/songs/ The other data files (sfx, gfx, stage) are always loaded from /GuitarsOnFire/* so don't move those files. ==User guide== === Status === Guitars On Fire is modeled after Guitar Hero 3, which is considered by many as the best version of the game. Currently, it supports single player mode with up to 5 players and can be played with 4 guitars and a USB keyboard. However, there is no online multiplayer option available yet. The game runs smoothly with no lag and all notes are perfectly on time, unlike Frets on Fire where some songs might look out of sync. ===Custom stages=== You can build custom stages yourself. As an example look at the GuitarFun stage, which is very simpel. A stage "viewer" for windows is also included. The "stage viewer" automatically reloads the stage when you change the stage.lua file, so you can quickly test the effects of changes. ===Samba share=== You can configure a samba share to load songs from. This isn't the fastest option, but it allows you to have a large song database. There is no option in the settings menu for the samba share, to enable the samba share option you need to edit the settings.ini file by hand. You need to edit the following settings: *smbuser:0 = guest *smbpass:0 = *smbshare:0 = songs *smbserver:0 = 192.168.1.101 *(example settings) === Songs === The FretsOnFire wiki contains a long list of songs that you can download [http://fretsonfire.wikidot.com/custom-songs here] free. === Mods === Up from version v0.8 of GuitarsOnFire there was a gfx folder which allows you to change the look of some of the parts of the game. You can also add new stages in the stage folder. Neck Mods (Note Highway): * [http://www.mediafire.com/?woimmng5wln GOF Theme - Electrode]. * [http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?munyxjmzyyn Theme: Legend of Zelda]. === Controllers === GuitarsOnFire is designed to be played with Guitars. Currently it supports many of the Wii wireless guitars. And is known to work with the following guitars: * GH3 Guitar. * GH WT Guitar. * GH Metallica Guitar (Works 100% the same as a WT guitar). * Flying V. * PS2 Guitar with PS2 > GameCube converter. It won't work with USB guitars, unless someone figures out how those work. Next to guitars you can use: * The GuitarHero World Tour Drums. * A classic controller. * An USB keyboard. ==Controls== ===Les Paul Controller=== Guitar Hero Strumbar - Strum, Navigate the menu Green Fret - Green Fret, Select an item Red Fret - Red Fret, Cancel/Exit menu Yellow Fret - Yellow Fret Blue Fret - Blue Fret Orange Fret - Orange Fret Wiimote Plus - Menu ===USB Keyboard=== Up/Down/RShift/Enter - Strum, Navigate the menu F1 - Green Fret, Select an item F2 - Red Fret, Cancel/Exit menu F3 - Yellow Fret F4 - Blue Fret F5 - Orange Fret Escape - Menu ===GameCube Controller=== D-Pad Up/Down - Strum, Navigate the menu R - Green Fret, Select an item X - Red Fret, Cancel/Exit menu Y - Yellow Fret A - Blue Fret B - Orange Fret Start - Menu ===Classic Controller=== Left Control Stick - Strum, Navigate the menu A - Green Fret, Select an item X - Red Fret, Cancel/Exit menu Y - Yellow Fret Plus - Blue Fret R - Orange Fret Minus - Menu ==Screenshots== https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/wiihomebrews/guitarsonfirewii3.png https://dlhb.gamebrew.org/wiihomebrews/guitarsonfirewii4.png ==Media== '''GuitarsOnFire Theme: Electrode ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLVvlYMFLpU XPretz])'''<br> <youtube>dLVvlYMFLpU</youtube> '''GuitarsOnFire Theme: Legend of Zelda''' ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xk7oTiQUrLg XPretz]) <br> <youtube>Xk7oTiQUrLg</youtube> == Changelog == ''' Version 1.1 ''' New Features: * Freestyle mode (Special thanks to WaxyPumpkin72 for the sound effects) * New difficulty/instrument selection menus * Online score list * New results screen after playing a song * Much requested volume settings * Low battery warning icon during gameplay.

And I used quite a bit of graphics from them. *Whoever made Guitarfun, while it sucks on itself, it made me make GuitarsOnFire. And it has some decent graphics that I used. *The 5k+ downloads on HBB. While I don't think it's an accurate number, it does say something. ==External links== * WiiBrew - https://wiibrew.org/wiki/GuitarsOnFire
