Thank you for the update, very sad this is the last update and I’m going to love that you can use ogg as I always hated converting the ogg to wav.
Are you not rendering your audio from Reaper anyway?
I mostly use editor on fire until I need to get it working in Rock Band and when I start doing left hand animations.
I just need to use Reaper more, but I do use Reaper to export my audio to ogg and wav’s sometimes.
Also found a bug, when I try to use the import a con fire it won’t work with every custom saying.
Can’t find songs.dta inside this file!
I can’t work without it, sorry
Then the CON file you’re feeding it is not valid or wasn’t created properly.I did it with c3 songs but still did not work.
I’m pretty sure you’re not using a CON file created properly. Open it in C3 CON Tools…is the DTA button enabled? I’m willing to bet it is not.
I get told that I’m rude all the time, but fuck it, here we go.
If you don’t know if the file you have is a valid CON file and you don’t know what “open the file with C3 CON Tools” means, and you don’t know what a button with the letters “DTA” on it is or what it does, then why are you even trying to compile songs? Please stick to playing customs and leaving everything else to those capable and willing to do some research on their own.
You’re telling me the Ferrari is broken because you think that knowing how to drive a big wheel trike qualified you to drive the Ferrari. I ask you if the Ferrari has gasoline and you’re asking me how do you check if it has gasoline…how do you expect me to answer that?
Let’s make something clear: an incompetent user is not a bug with the software.
I mostly use editor on fire until I need to get it working in Rock Band and when I start doing left hand animations.
EoF is an amazing program for charting a song, but it can’t replace Reaper. You can author on EoF but you then need to import your songs in Reaper to check notes’ weight and other things. If you don’t use Reaper for every single song you do helping you with troubleshooting can’t happen because you’re following an improper path with unforeseeable issues.
2) Another person is authorized by the C3 administration to continue working on this, as I will not provide the source code to anyone else. Don’t ask for it.Spiritual successors!

Let it not be said that I don’t care.
If you don’t read the information and existing threads before asking for help, it makes me not want to help you. And if when you post the question or bug report, it’s as cryptic as a quatrain, then I don’t want to help you either.
I tested one song from each of the last 3 weeks of C3’s releases. Magma does find and read the DTA file correctly. So if that is indeed the error you’re encountering, you’re not using the right files.
However, I realized I had uploaded a slightly old version of the executable which did throw an error when importing the CON, but just because it couldn’t find the project folder that it created, nothing to do with the DTA file. So I reuploaded the package, you might want to redownload if you like importing existing CONs.
My statement stands: an incompetent user is not a bug in the software – but sometimes an incompetent developer might be the cause of a bug
I don’t really have a need for this feature, but I must say I’m having the same error as The_Rock_Band_King. Any CON files I try to import using import -> import CON file give me the error saying it can’t find the songs.dta file inside. Yes, these CON files have been built correctly, they open up in the Quick DTA Editor just fine, and the DTA button is enabled when opening them with CON Explorer. I can’t find any CON files that will import correctly in this way. I’d like to believe I am a competent user and would be happy to follow any additional steps to see if this is indeed user error or developer error.
” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_cheeky.001.gif” /> The_Rock_Band_King was likely confused by your instructions due to the fact that most people probably don’t have CON files setup to open with CON explorer by default, and you simply told him to open it in C3 Con Tools. He probably opened up the program and didn’t see a button that just said “DTA”, because there isn’t one. If you had said open the file with CON Explorer, he may have been able to follow your instructions more easily.
I second what Nyoxide said. I really have no use for the feature but it’s not working for me either.
Says “Can’t find songs.dta inside the file!” even for cons from the C3 Database
Well, it works on the dev build on my pc, the release build on my pc, and the release build on my work pc. All tested yesterday.
Make sure you don’t have Magma installed in Program Files. Try running it as administrator (will disable drag drop unfortunately).
The code for importing CON files has been there for at least a year now (?) and I did not make any changes recently. If only now people have problems with it when I and stackoverflow have used it extensively since it was added, that sucks for you. You will have to figure out the cause and see if it can be fixed. I can’t make it fail on my end. It always works.
EDIT: Just tried 3 random C3 songs on my wife’s new laptop, and 3 random C3 songs on my wife’s old laptop, both using the latest release of Magma downloaded from this thread. All 6 songs worked as intended when importing into Magma.
All computers I’ve tried on are using Windows 8 and Windows 7…you guys aren’t on Windows XP or on the Windows 10 Technical Preview, are ya?

Still has the same result

Nah I’m using Windows 8.1 so not sure what the problem is.
Again I don’t have any use for the feature but just wanted to let you know that there was someone else who couldn’t get it working
