As I mention, changing the ID (and CON file name), and recompiling had no effect..

 

Impossible. If you start from Magma, change ID and filename and then recompile it can’t not work, you are adding a new song altogether.

Sorry – I hate to press this point and with all due respect… this is NOT impossible. I have told you exactly what I have done. I may not have been doing this as long as you have but I have explicitly told you the exact sequence of my actions and the ‘nuclear’ option was the only option that worked.

 

On another note… I believed backing up my song cache to another folder to prove this point and restoring back to the RB3 CON folder later would be sufficient to ensure my song score history was maintained. However, I have just reinstated the cache file to its original location and my song history has gone…..?…. any ideas why that would be…?

You can also tell me there’s a horse flying with wings outside your window, it does not make it possible. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_wink.gif”> If you compile a song in Magma using a new filename and a new ID, you are effectively creating an entirely new song. If that were not to work, you would not be able to add any new song. There are 2 things that Rock Band 3 saves and that we need to address: the ID and the file structure. The ID is set in Magma, the file structure is written by Magma using the filename. So, you are either not changing song ID correctly or you are renaming the file after Magma has compiled or something else I’m not thinking about. But if you change song ID and filename for the build and the song still doesn’t work (while working with a fresh cache), either you are not able to add ANY song (in which case evidently the cache is corrupted and needs to be deleted) or you are not following those steps.

Once you load a fresh cache the game supposedly cross checks the list of IDs of the songs in your cache against the list of IDs of songs for which scores are saved locally, and any score pertaining to a song that is not there is gone. Nemo worked on the cache and I don’t remember if the reason is that scores are in the cache so they are lost (but recovered from another location for all songs with proper IDs) or something else.

OK to be clear…. with my OLD cache file… the 2x songs would not load.

I open Magma, I load the MAGMA project file for one of the songs…. I press New ID button, I change the filename for the RB3Con file, I press Build…..

I then repeat for the other song.

I port the new CON Files to the thmb drive and load RB3… songs graphic wont display and attempting to load the song results in ‘Unable to Load song skipping file…’

 

I go to XBOX Home menu, delete cache file from the thumb drive (no cache exists on the HDD), I run RB3 again, the songs now appear and run/play as expected….

 

So it seems to me I have done what you advocate so it has to be some thing else.. coz it clearly hasnt worked for me. Flying horses or otherwise

Ok, so delete the cache and don’t mind me, clearly I don’t know how the cache file works or why the issue happens so you’re better off sticking to deleting the cache.
