If that method works then that’s great, iirc there was a change to either magma C3 or to C3 Con Tools that made it so it was possible to see updates in game for customs made on or after the update without deleting your cache, but not for older customs. Did that work for you for this custom already?
I’m at my desk and can try that right now. One minute.
Sounds good. If you’ve got any other feedback for the other 4 songs let me know now, I’m about to update them all one by one with manually tweaked drum animations and some minor tweaks where needed.

Tacked a V2 on the end of the new file and the system loaded it up with my prior score, and I can see the fixed difficulty and title. Smooth as silk.
Will revisit all 5 on guitar but I thought the charts were basically perfect. I’ll try to pay some more attention to the animations; a little tricky on RWYS and FAF though.
[edit]
Not sure why, but your version of RWYS seems to have the same exact album title – capitalization down to a T – with the RBN Dark Horse; shouldn’t that appear under an Axe To Fall header when sorting by artist? They’re both lumped under the catch-all “Converge” which I find a little odd. Would bug me if we had a lot more ATF tracks and Dark Horse was the odd man out. For now it’s all good, but just something I noticed.
[edit]
You have so, so much more knowledge with charting and playing actual guitar, so this isn’t me questioning your approach or your charts… but can you tell me what’s going on with the “whistling” [feedback?] during the outro of Last Light, where it’s just chords? I always assumed Kurt was doing something in-between the chords.

As far as I know, songs will only appear under an album header if there’s 3 or more from the same album.
As for the feedback at the end of Last Light, Kurt’s a master of utilizing feedback to add to dissonance and I have no idea what it he’s doing to get that feedback noise in between chords so reliably (he does it live too, but I still can’t figure it out from watching videos), so I left it uncharted.

Ah, I was unaware it was 3 or more. Good call.
So it’s definitely feedback? Interesting. Kurt is definitely a guitar wizard, I’m convinced. I’m perfectly happy with what you’ve charted, I was just curious.
Have you ever charted vocals before? Replaying Last Light tonight, I sort of remembered how damn good the lyrics are for it. I don’t know if the vocals would even need to be pitched for it, but as someone who’s only tried vocals on maybe 2-3 songs in my entire RB library, I’d probably give it a go just for fun. I know you mentioned that you may add vocals or bass later on if you get bored, but I just found it to be a cool coincidence that you brought my arguably favorite Converge track – lyrically – in to the game with this last batch of songs.

I’m definitely not 100% on that, since he doesn’t stand in front of his speaker cab while doing it for this song. He could just be picking natural harmonics or something like that, in which case I might just add some notes to represent that.

I tried doing vocals once on a Jeff Buckley song and gave up due to being completely overwhelmed. If I ever decide to try it again, I think it’d definitely be on something like these Converge songs since unpitched vocals should be much easier to do.

You know… the more I think about it, the more I recall instances of that technique throughout You Fail Me, specifically. Not quite as prevalent on any other album. The intro to the title track, specifically, is jumping out at me. I’m thinking it’s probably more of a harmonic deal, but I’m really the last person to ask. I only really brought it up because it feels like you went for as much realism as can be considered fun with five plastic frets, and you’re probably one of the last people who’d deliberately under-chart something out of laziness.
As always, thanks so much for sharing these. Great timing with the release of Jane Live yesterday!
