¶ OutFox Online
This system applies for Project Outfox Alpha V Pre043 and above.
The Outfox Online system present in Project Outfox allows players to submit scores from their machines, use temporary profiles on public cabinets, and etc.
¶ Features
Theme is StepMania 4's Alpha theme. Originally made by Chris Danford, Plaguefox. Ported to SM5 by MadkaT182.
¶ Guest Profiles
It supports guest profiles, so you can take your session and scores on the go, by just entering a 4-digit pin code assigned to your profile.
Settings like your modifiers and profile names are synced up automatically for the next time you play on a different location.
Theme is CyberiaStyle: LAST APPROACH, by gl_yukt.
¶ Interoperability with GrooveStats and BoogieStats
In addition to this system, it also allows interoperability with GrooveStats and BoogieStats (with an compatible theme that supports BoogieStats) for score submissions and general networking, as well as other systems that want a GET/POST request via a domain whitelist. No need for an external client!
Theme is Simply Love, made by hurtpiggypig and Mad Matt. Then converted to SM5 by quietly-turning, but now handled by teej and natano.
¶ Implementation
For theme creators, you don't actually have to do anything to make OutFox Online work in your theme. All you need is your theme being able to either load ScreenProfileLoad or ScreenSelectProfile for login. The engine takes care of the rest.
Users can quickly connect to Outfox Online via the ScreenOptionsNetwork screen with a one-press Connect button.
Theme is ITG: GrooveNights by DivinElegy (Now known as peekingboo), ported to Project Outfox by Jose_Varela.
Please note that if the user does not have the
Auto Connect To OutFox Online(AutoConnectToServer) preference enabled, they'll need to navigate to ScreenOptionsNetwork to connect to Outfox Online on every boot. Otherwise, you're going to be have confused people wondering where the screen is.So please consider checking if your theme contains ScreenOptionsNetwork on your settings screen.
The system runs entirely on the engine and takes care of profile loading, score saving and profile syncing for you. All of these actions are reported on the screen via an overlay in a new layer in ScreenSystemLayer called ScreenSystemLayer ofonline.lua.
Theme is pop-candy 2 by LOLO, Hirose Madoka and fether, ported to SM5 by Inorizushi.
For info about this overlay, check out the online overlay page for commands and examples.
