First of all, I want to start out by saying a big thanks to everyone here. I found this site about a week ago by coincidence, and I’m absolutely astounded. I never thought I’d ever see more music in Rock Band again, but here you are, making weekly releases just like in the good days.
Now, for the topic at hand. I’ve been playing a few of the customs on here, mainly ports from Guitar Hero, and noticed that the guitar and bass animations are a little lackluster on some of them, the guitarist sort of just play along the 5th fret. It it possible to fix this, and how do you do it? If it’s allowed, I’d love to contribute by fixing the animations for songs that I think needs it.
Finally, sorry if this isn’t the right place to ask this, I’m a total noob when it comes to forums.
Left hand animations for G/B is based on MIDI notes that are placed under the chart itself. The guide on how to do it is found here: http://pksage.com/rbndocs/index.php?tit … Animations
Basically what you would do is extract the MIDI from the CON file via CON Tools, sync a MP3/WAV/what have you of the song up to the chart in Reaper and then add the animation notes from there, then export the MIDI file from there (be sure to tick the check box to include the tempo map when doing so. Also be sure to use Reaper 4.22 as newer versions are not Rock Band compatible). When you are done you can try and contact the author about it and let them know about it for their consideration to add it in
If any of the songs you want to do are from my conversions thread, feel free to do the animations. I have never been a big fan of the animation lighting etc so I never did them. If you need the multitrack files or Reaper files to accomplish this I would happily send them to you. Make me a list of what you want to do & I will send them ASAP. A lot of users would love to see that stuff get done. Please don’t hesitate to ask questions, I will help all I can.

I can’t test all songs on here to see if the animations are correct, but I’ll fix every single song I happen to come across. Right now I’ve just been experimenting to see if I get the hang of this (I’m pretty much a noob at this), and it’s definitely not as difficult as I thought. It took me about 30 mins to make some decent animations for “Stillborn”, and it works well in the game, so it’s gonna be fun to see how this goes
