v2.1.1
- Expanded MIDI Tester / MIDI Validator to account for old MIDIs that have the tonic note as a midi note in PART VOCALS / HARM parts
- Fixed bug that would result in both 1x and 2x versions having (2x Bass Pedal) in the name when using the auto 2x bass feature
- Fixed bug that would allow you to build an "rba" file with the .rba extension, which would fail the RBA -> CON process
- Fixed other minor bugs
When I try to compile a song with 2x bass, Magma just tells me:
ERROR: MIDI Compiler: (MIDI FILE): bad track name: ‘PART DRUMS_2X’
I’m using the latest version of Magma C3. Am I doing something wrong here or is it not working properly for some reason?
Make sure you dropped that midi into magma after it had the part drums_2x already added so magma can detect it.
v2.1.2
- Added check for missing drum overdrive fills and vocal overdrives as MagmaCompiler allows them through and it's very easy to miss the notification in the log. Now Magma will notify you if you're missing either one and whether you intended to compile the song that way.
- Improved all instances where Magma / MIDI Tester read/process MIDI files. This means MIDI Tester will be able to read some files that it would throw errors on before.
- Other minor improvements
I tried to test a MIDI I cleaned up with the MIDI Cleaner in Le Fluffie, and this is the log I got. Help would be appreciated.
Welcome to MIDI Tester 1.0
This program is intended to quickly let you test MIDI after MIDI for compliance with RBN2.0 standards.
All you have to do is drag the MIDI file(s) here. This program will read through it, and create an adequate test project. MagmaCompiler is then called to process the MIDI for RBN2.0 compliance without actually compiling the song (so no time wasted compiling the audio).
You can do back-to-back MIDIs without having to close this form.
Ready to begin….
MIDI Tester initialized via command-line
Arguments: C:UsersGatewayDownloadsNew folder(BH_MSL)_01-HMUTD 1 – Hang Me Up To Drynotes_clean.mid
Failed to load MIDI file notes_clean.mid.
Error: End Track event was not the last MIDI event on track 4.
v2.1.3
GENERAL
- Added check for when [music_start] is found too early in the EVENTS track - now Magma will let you know before you compile the song
- Changed behavior so now MIDI files with PART DRUMS_2X are detected when you press the Build button
- Completely gutted and redid how difficulty tiers are stored and shown. Looks the same, everything under the hood is new. Should eliminate the visual bugs reported and is easier to maintain going forward.
- Improved logging during the Build screen to include exact [measure] location rather than prior approximate time in seconds
- Fixed bug where attenuation values for drum stems were not saving after closing the project
- Changed behavior to allow setting the preview time before adding any audio files. "30 seconds before length of the song" restriction is still in place once an audio file is added, but this allows you to set and save the preview time early in the creation of the Magma project.
- Fixed bug where the difficulty tiers for Pro Guitar / Pro Bass would be read incorrectly when importing an existing CON file
- Expanded country list to all (?) 257 countries in the U.N. list. Go nuts.
- Added country to the song's DTA file for possible future use in C3 tools / database / etc
MIDI TESTER
- Improved code to be able to read some MIDI files in the past it couldn't (thanks raynebc)
- Added some code to hopefully prevent MIDI Tester from being stuck in permanent loops - if after one minute it's still processing, it'll ask you whether you want to abort rather than continue (and presumably stay stuck in the loop)
- Improved logging of errors found to include exact [measure] location rather than prior approximate time in seconds
- Added code to prevent "testing" of MIDI files without instrument/vocal charts. MagmaCompiler requires at least one, you can't just "test" venue/events/beat tracks.
- Added "Send to MIDI Cleaner" button that will be displayed if errors are found in your MIDI file. You must have Le Fluffie C3 v2.4.0 or newer installed on the same computer.
v2.1.4
- Added option to use the included blank dryvox file, just right click on any of the dryvox boxes and select "Blank Dryvox" - C3 releases are required to use a proper dryvox file, but this is great for testing purposes and for importing of existing CON files
- Added behavior to automatically copy the existing *.milo_xbox file when importing an existing CON file and enable "Override animations file" - This allows you to keep the exact lip sync from the file you're importing. Use the blank dryvox file mentioned above to expedite the process. Delete the *.milo_xbox file if you are planning to make your own dryvox file
- Several bug fixes and code improvements aimed to reduce likelihood of encountering a fatal crash
v2.1.4b
- Tiny update to increase accuracy of error reporting in MIDI Tester or during building of a song
v2.1.5
- Added support for importing of PS3 album art images (*.png_ps3)
- Added check during build for old format PART HARM# track names
- Fixed importing bug that would cause a crash while trying to send the mogg file to Audacity
- Fixed importing bug that would not save the preview time to the project file
- Fixed importing bug that would not correctly enable instruments if the difficulty was 1 (lowest after "NO PART")
- Improvements to code efficiency and stability
v2.1.6
- Added CLEAN button to Game Data tab, next to the EXPORT and TEST buttons. This will send your MIDI file directly to MIDI Cleaner (you must have Le Fluffie C3 v2.4.0 or newer installed) and after cleaning will backup your "dirty" MIDI and move the cleaned MIDI to your project folder
- Further enhancements to the code for stability and to remove some redundancy throughout the entire program
Hi. I am wondering if you would be open to changing the behavior a little so that Warnings are posted in the output instead of popping up a dialog window? I don’t know how everyone else works, but I like to compile my projects as early as possible in the authoring process (for example, before adding drum fills,) and the Popup Warnings can be counter-productive while trying to focus on other instruments that are spitting out errors. Thanks.
Any error popup window you’re seeing is something we broke when hacking MagmaCompiler in the early stages of modding Magma. Because of that hacking a lot of things that would fail MagmaCompiler were now allowed to go through and that would cause problems in game or straight up crash Magma. So I can move the errors to be part of the log. But you’re still not compiling anything until the errors are fixed.
Hmmm. ok. The specific popup is a warning that then gives me an option to compile the project anyway. But that would be great. thanks.
v2.1.7
- Added option to specify preview start milliseconds and fixed bug where that value entered manually in the C3 Fix file (projectname.c3) would get overwritten during loading of the Project File
- Patched up potential memory leak when sending MIDI files to midishrink (and includes fixed midishrink.exe thanks to raynebc)
- Changed behavior to include not checking for missing vocal overdrive and missing drum fills when "Bypass Nemo's MIDI Validator" is checked
- Improved how moving of files works throughout the program for better performance and lower likelihood of crashes
- Fixed bug when sending files/folders to Recycle Bin which sometimes would fail and leave the files/folders behind
- Other minor bug fixes and improvements
This is the last update I will be issuing for Magma: C3 Roks Edition.
You may continue to post bug reports or ask questions. We have a very knowledgeable user base who can probably help you out. But don’t expect me to reply or have answers for any future problems.
I hope the modifications and improvements to Magma and the support I have provided has been meaningful.
