i am having trouble adding songs. I put music in the "music"folder from FoF site, so it should work right? But when I get on phase shift there is still no new music there...frustrating, can someone help?

Greetings Wjs
Each song must be in its own folder (song.ogg, gutar.ogg, song.ini the mid file, etc.). Then each folder that contains the song files are to be put in the "Music" folder.
Also, sometimes the folders have special characters in them that the game gets confused with. Try renaming the folders to text only with no ", : / ( )... etc).
Another potential problem is the song.mid has a glitch, you can fix this by opening it up with EoF (Editor on Fire avaliable on the downloads page.) Then simply saving it, overwriting the old one, after that closing it out.
Hope this helps. Any other questions feel free to ask.
Cheers, Slayer

song not showing it would more then likely be a song.ini issue over a notes.midi issue.
heres a step by step;
1) download song 2) you'll either download a .rar, .zip file, or a .7z file. you'll need an unpacking program like winrar or 7-zip to unpack these, once you do that you should end up with a folder with the name of the song (some people add the artist before the title) and there may not be a fodler leaving you with only song.ogg, song.ini etc. if this is the case, then just make a new folder and name it the name of the song, and then extract the files into that folder.
heres a video i made a while ago that shows how to add songs to PS, its not the best but may help you:
and welcome to Phase Shift!

asskickulator, I watched your video earlier today and actually did that. when I download the song, I then go into the phase shift music folder and make a new folder. I have named it just the title or the artist then the title, and I've gotten both ways to work for one song. Then, I try to get more songs, and after unpacking the new song into the music folder, I go try to play them in phase shift, and every last song is gone lol. Meaning, all of the original songs too. So, now im'left with no songs. I will try what both of you have said and see if it helps. Its slightly confusing but I'll try it. I've never used EoF, but if it's just overwriting the file then that shouldnt be too bad. Hope I get the songs on there, because zero songs is not gonna cut it.
p.s, I have windows 7 64 bit if that's a problem.

A little update. Before doing what you guys said, I decided to do a little basic thing. I deleted all of the new songs that I had "tried"to put on there but were still in the music folder. I went back to phase shift and the original songs ( like brad sucks stuff) were not even there. wtf Why can't i just download the song and drag/drop them in the music folder? thanks guys

Sorry if the first image is a bit confusing. It's just the file structure of the game folders. Each indented line is a different folder. Hope this helps figure out your problem. Cheers, Slayer

so, files wont show up? What version of PS you using? Can you post your game log? it kinda sounds like a song.ini issue but I don't see how that could screw up working songs, which is making this look like a glitch... can yo try downloading a fresh copy of PS and skip adding the song that messed it up.

thank you guys a lot. Yea slayer, that's pretty much what mine looks like. I go to music, then there's a file of the title of the song, and in that file are all of the guitar.ogg, song.mid ,ini , etc. But mines just screwed. I have installed 2 fresh copies of PS. Here is my log just in case. I attempted to change the name of the file to the exact title of the song, but that didn't work..I'm totally lost on why the original game songs are gone too lol.:

uhhh.... why are you running it directly from Winrar? Have you always been doing that? If so that's likely your problem. extract the Phase Shift folder onto your desktop like you would extract the songs, then try it.

omg lol. I was always wondering if I needed to start PS directly from that folder. so I just take the .exe and put it on my desktop?

ok I put the .exe on the desktop and tried to start it, but it says .dll is missing, so I'll try to reinstall

Just extract all the files to a folder. You can create a shortcut to it or just run it from there.

Post by startxkdm on Sept 5, 2011 22:51:02 GMT
After extracting all the files, maintaining the file structure in the RAR archive, you might have to install VC++ Redist 2010 and the DirectX update on the downloads page. dwsk.co.uk/index_phase_shift.html

thanks all of you for your help. Well, slayer, I tried only extracting phase shift to the desktop before installing the files you said, and it worked. I put a song on there right away. Weird thing is, in the middle of the song , PS stopped working and closed. Maybe it was just the song. I've been out for several hours but I'll try the song again, then I'll download the VC redist thing. Thanks bro
