Good to know, thanks. I’m eager to play my keys chart ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif”>

 

If you want to edit it for yourself, it’s as easy as importing the .mid in Reaper, deleting the track (it should be the last one, it’s like a measure long), and then re-exporting the remaining tracks. Package it up again, replace your upgrades package (no need for a full cache rebuild), and you should be in business.

Doesn’t seem to work for me. I’ll wait for the official release, I’m probably doing something wrong.

Well, after four hours of troubleshooting, I went ahead and rebuilt the whole thing by hand, and it works.

 

There was something in the MIDI tracks that was causing the game to crash, and I could not identify what it was. I deduced this was a problem after trying several million permutations, a couple of cache rebuilds, comparing the .dta files and .midi charts with The Final Countdown seven hundred times, testing my harmony-only upgrade, and then discovered that it was crashing no matter what instrument I selected.

 

I then tried to run the keys chart through Magma, after hacking apart an old project of mine, and saw that the keys chart was continually crashing MagmaCompiler. I cleaned up some of the issues, and then started getting awesome errors about velocities > 127, which I assumed was one of those silly midi events being a problem, but the tracks themselves looked clean. I tried copy-pasting the notes themselves and redoing the events, but ran into the same issue.

 

So, in the end, I “traced” the EMHX keys charts and all four pro keys charts to redo the entire upgrade by hand, got it to pass through Magma, build it as an upgrade, loaded it up, and played it through to make sure it worked.

 

How was your afternoon?

Oh jesus, that much work? Now I feel guilty for not checking my chart thoroughly enough ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” /> At least it’s fixed now. Thanks, man.

Honestly it probably wasn’t something you’d have spotted through review or in the editor. I reviewed it, tested it, and it /worked/ when I did my first test, but I guess that was some kind of miracle exception.

 

That being said, were you using Reaper + our template or the RB:HP template to build it? It may also be good to throw it in a folder, run the packager, and give it a test if your environment permits. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif”>

I think what I did was use the RBHP template and then copy and paste the Keys tracks from the other template.

 

I’ve tested it and it works perfectly now.

I finally tried your custom Keys chart. Towards the middle was a much more interesting part and just what I expected from the chart. Also some nice sustain parts. It certainly doesn’t feel like a 0-tier chart though.

Could have been an issue on my end, too, when I was rebuilding files and experimenting.

 

If I can get a recommendation on a tiering I will throw it in with the next update/release (I’ll double-check the originals when I get home).

OK, I just now updated Ever Fallen in Love and will send to RBHP for next pack.

 

the pro guitar upgrades for “Ever Fallen In Love” and “Hanging on the Telephone” don’t have any 1/16th (or 1/32nd) gaps between sustains.

That tiering was on me. Because the majority of the keys chart was identical to the guitar chart, I just copied the difficulty the guitar part was given by Harmonix. Pro keys could probably be bumped up a tier on account of the shifts in the main riff.

I haven’t played the Guitar part myself to see, but when I think of 0-tier Keys, I think of songs with mostly silence and occasional sustains. It’s probably more like a 1, just for the mid-sustain parts and sorta-fast parts.

anybody experience the following?

 

after second to last RBHP update, tried to play Boston’s More Than a Feeling = crashed xbox, nothing would respond, had to physically turn it off and back on.

 

after last RBHP update, yesterday night, tried to play Foo Fighter’s The Pretender = same as above, hard crash

 

then played Paradise by the Dashboard Light, after finishing the song, when exiting back to the set list = same crash as above.

 

 

I’ve hosted events recently and also on Thursdays I help to host a weekly RB3 event with my xbox. it tends to be solid, so these 3 crashes in the span of a couple of weeks from each, where for the last year + i’ve been solidly stable, are worrying.

 

nothing’s changed in my set up except I keep updating RBHP. the songs in question i’ve had for a long time without any changes to them.

 

 

any ideas?

[espher]

The most recent batch should all be fine since I recorded videos after the last updates I made to them.

 

Older tracks, I can’t explain — was More Than a Feeling a one-time crash or repeat occurrence?

[TrojanNemo]

happened repeatedly if I tried to play it. it would never launch fine. I removed it from the RBHP batch folder, and then it worked fine. I’ll try to find time to narrow it down…but considering how much downtime it creates for me when the Xbox crashes, I might have to stop using RBHP if it turns out it’s causing instability.

I’ll look at it when I get home tonight.

 

It’s a very popular song, so I’d assume I’d have gotten other complaints if it were causing crashes around the world. You’ve got the original LIVE file, right? Nothing modified/changed?
