SUPPORT HAS ENDED
As of today, I’m officially hanging up the programming gloves and calling it quits.
This affects both C3 CON Tools and Magma: C3 Roks Edition.
What does that mean?
No more updates will be issued, no new features will be added.
Any bugs, problems or broken features that may or may not be present in the programs, you’ll have to learn to live with.
I also will immediately cease providing assistance for any questions or issues with either program unless it’s something that catches my attention – 99% of the posts about either program don’t fall into this category.
Why are you quitting?
Between C3 CON Tools and Magma: C3 Roks Edition I have spent between 800 to 1000 hours of my life, and I’m just so so tired.
Contrary to what you may believe, I have no formal training and all I have accomplished through the combined 60,000+ lines of code, has been accomplished through heavy Googling, tinkering and a good dose of common sense.
As a result, I’ve grown weary of the constant stream of posts that reflect the poster didn’t even bother to spend 5 minutes searching the forums or reading the help docs.
Programming for C3 CON Tools and Magma: C3 Roks Edition used to be a source of fun and satisfaction, and by now it has become nothing more than a chore.
Will the source code be available for someone else to take over the program?
No. Don’t ask, I will not give it out. The other C3 admins will have access to the source code if and when they request it. Nobody else will be given access.
If you’re one of our more tech savvy users who knows how to decompile a program, sorry, the source code has been obfuscated as well.
What do I do if I have a genuine problem or I’m really stuck with something and I need help?
Search the forums. It’s likely the issue has been asked and answered before.
If not, feel free to post on here detailing your problem, and hope that one of our more knowledgeable users will be kind enough to help you out.
You’re not really quitting, you said you were retiring back in December!
Ah, you noticed. Well, I did kinda retire. I got back into programming after “retiring” because TDCMark figured out PS3 customs and I didn’t want to leave PS3 users in the cold. One thing led to another and here we are.
But since December all I’ve done for C3 is program and be an annoying/shortfused mod (it’s in my blood).
So that was like a 60% retirement. Consider this a 90% retirement.
I’ll still be around the forums for a while, but only as the annoying mod. Nothing else.
That’s all folks.
Nevermind.
I’ll take 10% Nemo any day of the week anyway.

Hey guys, running into a problem and was hoping you could help me out.I was making a con file out of some mids Grinnz had made, specifically the full Colors album by BtBaM. Importing the mid file into magma gives an error saying the midi file was too big (1335989 bytes), and that the size has been compressed (1009865 bytes) and that it should compile fine.
However compiling gives the error that the midi is larger than 1mb, which appears to be due to autogeneration of keys/vocal/guitar/etc animations. Anything I can do about that or should I just make it into individual songs?
I tried making a con of that single song album too but I get the same error. Also if you do it with the original Magma is gives the error that the song cant be more than 10 minutes long. What to do?

You could go into the MIDI file, add one camera marker, one lighting marker, and a Post-Processing effect marker, that way Magma won’t generate a venue. Might save enough space to compile.
I got a big problem, Magma refuses to accept the “ø” character as a real letter, instead seeing it as “ÃÂ,”. I checked the MIDI and it appears correctly in it and I am using UTF-8 encoding, still I get this error no matter what I do. I know support is technically ended, but I really need help with this and the letter should be compatible with Rock Band (as seen in the RBN song Planet Smasher by Devin Townsend).
EDIT: Okay might have managed to work around it with CON Tools, but yeah
STEP 1 (only if this is your first time installing Magma, skip if updating an existing installation)
Download the original Magma installer here.
Install.
This link does not start a download for me. Broken link? It opens the Keepitfishy page, but shows no content.

Try the installer at 2B. Might have to update the OP – I’m not sure why the original Magma is needed at all anymore.

Can you try skipping step 1? Run the .NET installer from here:

Then try step 2 C3 Magma installer. If that works out, I’ll modify the OP to ditch the original Magma.

Step 2B installed Magma fine for me! I cannot tell you if everything works properly as I have not authored anything yet, but the program opens without issues.
What does “Auto-Generate ‘Fake’ Pro-Keys” do?As the text implies, it makes a “fake” pro keys chart so that it can be built. This fake pro keys chart is essentially the five-lane chart pasted onto a pro keyboard.
