Please provide any additional information below.
I have yet to get the program to open. 

Support for multiple track songs would allow the muffling to only occur on
certain tracks such as only the guitar track. 

Also it was suggested that perhaps Freetar song editor could process the
song and try to automatically split the song into multiple tracks.

"A software code "engine" that will take any normal MP3 music file and
strip out and de-layer the tracks into their instrument components. THEN,
it can replace the guitar and bass tracks with corresponding FH data...in
essence, it needs an "auto-translator" of sorts. "

I prefer this game to FoF and Guitar Zero, so could someone PLEASE help me 
fix this problem instead of just saying that you had the same problem 
because issues #24 & #29 are the exact same problem... =P any help would be 
appreciated, thnx =]

When a player starts the game, it is in the 'paused' state (requiring the
player to unpause the game to begin playing). This isn't immediatley
obvious to new players, and cuases confusion.

This should be replaced with a timed 'count in' similar to the one that
appears in GH (a few seconds of scrolling with some ambient noise before
the song starts) to allow the player to get ready to play.

User reported the following errors:

Bought a Xbox/PS2 to USB adapter from Ebay.

Downloaded the software from your site, and tried to install it, but the
screen flashes black a couple of times and nothing happens.

Checked my processes, and it has the program running (an using alot of
resources in the background), but i can't even get it to install.

installed DirectX 9 and the newest Java Runtime but didn't help.

Support for a multiplayer mode, either using a split-screen where the
players play 2 different tracks (IE: Guitar and Bass), or a face-off mode
where the compete against each other.

It would also be interesting to see if a network multiplayer game is
possible (although network latency might be a major issue as well as music
synchronization).

When starting the Freetar Game OR Freetar Editor on some machine
configurations (detailed below) a 'Failed to enumerate devices: Failed to
set buffer size (2)' error is generated by the program (listed in the Java
console):

"[timestamp] com.jme.system.PropertiesIO <init>
INFO: PropertiesIO created
[timestamp] com.jme.system.PropertiesIO load
INFO: Read properties
Failed to enumerate devices: Failed to set buffer size (2)"

After this the program generates another error when looking for controller
"null" - and no input devices are visible to the program.

Version 0.1 of the editor appears to work normally for this machine
configuration.

For original issue post see forums:
http://antonstruyk.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=3518

The input devices hooked to the computer are:
 * a wireless USB controller plugged on the rear USB port
 * a parallel port hack of a PSX controller
 * standard pt-br ABNT2 model PS2 keyboard

Left-flip for the game is currently not enabled.

Professional Service Pack 2.

Please provide any additional information below.
I Tryed with 5 songs and various folders , the game don't open.

Support files (debug logs, controller configurations, etc..) are stored in
whatever the 'current directory' is when the program is launched.

For instance, if the user launches from the webpage (using webstart) the
controller.ini and debuglog.xml files are created in the webbrowser's home
directory. This makes it difficult for users to find/cleanup these files.

If the user launches from a downloaded .jnlp file, then the program places
these files in the same folder as the JNLP.

I probably posted this wrong but..
Is there a way to have it go back to the window that lets you choose the
song after you play?  maybe I missed it but if not this would make a good
feature.

Also

Users' controllers are not detected (keyboard, gamepads, etc) on any OS
other than windows due to the appropriate JNI libraries for jInput not
appearing in the classpath (and JNLP).

Support should be added for different game play modes so that you could
have a more interactive game, for example:
1. Career Mode 
2. Practice mode
3. easy/medium/hard in game settings

The game mode system should be extendable so that people could make their
own customizable games using freetar hero.


Game Modes, game states, scriptable

Songs that contain ampersands (&) in either the filename of the music,
filename of the SNG, or path cause errors when the program tries to locate
them.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Running DirectX 10/Windows Vista

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected is the start of the song fullscreen. Instead program exits.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Using latest from start link.

Please provide any additional information below.
Freetar Editor works with any sng file just fine, as well as display the 
output. However Freetar Game doesnot render the game. I am able to do 
everything but get it to play.

Users' controllers are not detected (keyboard, gamepads, etc) on any OS

i expect for it to play the song. Instead I see nothing, the process is 
still going though.

i'm using 0.1 beta, I can't a find newer version. Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
i tried multiple songs.

New users that try to load songs in the game or edit them are frequently
confused by the multiple consecutive 'open' screens, and don't realize that
one is for the SNG and one is for the Music. The opening process should be
revamped to make it more clear what is expected of the user.

After completing a song in the game portion, the user must exit the program
and re-launch it before they can retry a song or switch to a new song. This
sucks the fun out of completing a song. Menus for restarting / switching
songs should be added.

Users should be able to assign buttons on different controllers to the
various actions. E.g. Set up a Gamepad for the track buttons, and enter or
space for pause and special.

This would have the side-effect of allowing more controllers to be used
(i.e. ones with less than the required amount of buttons, like a mice) for
the inputs. Would also make it simpler to setup multiplayer configurations
in the future.

When I try to create a new song in Freetar Editor v2.0 BETA using Ubuntu 13.10, 
I get the error "Error Loading FMOD libraries." with the exception name "class

When the user misses a note, the background music is muffled until another
note is successfully hit. In some cases, this can be a very long time and
can be annoying. For instance, if the last note before a big drum solo is
missed, then the entire drum solo is muted.

A possible solution is to provide a maximum 'muffle time' after which the
background music becomes un-muffled.

Some users are reporting that the background music is always playing
'muffled' no matter if they hit notes correctly or not. Switching to
windowed mode seems to resolve the issue for the user who reported it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  open a song with a range of notes.
2.  when a yellow pops up, hold green and red and yellow and it will still
take it even though its only the yellow being showed.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
A wrong note, a correct note

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Beta .1 on Windows XP SP2

Please provide any additional information below.
Thats about it.

Most of the javadoc needs to be completed / added for the Freetar classes

Skinning support is not currently enabled.

To reproduce:
1. Start a song with HO/PO'able notes
2. HO a note, and before it is finished its 'pushable time' also strum for
that note

The note will be marked as 'played', however the strum will be triggered as
an extra strum (the program does not recognize it as strumming the HO/PO'd
note). Notes that are triggered by a HO/PO should still be strummable.
