Hi.

The sysadmin of the (very old) server this all runs on finally had to migrate to new hardware, which meant upgrading a bunch of critical dependencies. One of those was switching to PHP 7, which meant I had to update all of this to Invision Community 4, which broke all of the custom styling — especially the customs DB.

Unfortunately, I am super not in this scene anymore and won’t have time to do many significant improvements. I’ll try to do some small things to make it more usable, but other admins will have to step in for any proper changes. Assuming they have the time.

I know this sucks, and I’m sorry. ” data-emoticon=”true” src=”/emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif” title=”“>

Haven’t touched it in years, hope it helps!

[pksage]

Fixed! Give it a shot again.

[pksage]

Well, that’s annoying. Something’s definitely breaking it in both Firefox and Chrome.

 

Taking a look right now, I’ll try and get it fixed tonight or tomorrow.

Just played “Adventure of a Lifetime” on guitar and it rocks, no regrets. Never in my life did I think I would be singing the praises of a Coldplay song.

I’ll address this when I have time to sit down and work on the DB, should be a simple regex change. Thanks for the bug report!

[pksage]

Whoops, totally forgot to make this topic! I’ll get in the swing of things, I promise.

 

Bravo, Bravo, you get the only non-pksage DLC announcement thread ever! Probably!

[pksage]

the database says the other links are available, but i still only see xbox. is it just me?

Alternate links will only appear if the author provides them.

 

Also, the alternate links for C3 customs haven’t been ported over from the old database yet, I’ll be getting to that.

[pksage]

Non-terrible search is coming soon, I promise.

 

The database is looking great! Thank you for all your hard work.  ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_smile.gif”>

This thread hasn’t been getting a lot of love lately, but I just want to chime in and say I really appreciate what you are doing. A central database with all C3, Harmonix, and independant song releases in no small feat, and its been progressing very nicely. Thank you!

 
Thank you! http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-glomp.gif
 

What happened to Nightmare Lyra, and who is this ipsadmin?

As denoted by the “TBD” and its hover text on the song list, I have yet to manually associate all of the C3 songs to the correct authors. It’s on the list!

I have a question about the instrument icons on the new customs database.

 

The partially filled icon for, say, guitar. Does that mean that it’s not multitrack-style? If that’s the case, then a fully filled icon is multitracked.

 

I wasn’t sure if there was a post about that yet.

 

And how can you tell what customs are expert-only?

 

Right now, half-filled is “exists but without proper reductions”, as Nemo said. We’ll be redoing this system in the VERY near future, and it will come with a legend to make it easier to follow. Multitrack status will also be denoted on the list and not just on the details page.

 

So if I use CAT and edit it to make it better do I still have to use Auto/CAT?

 

Many “real” reductions use CAT as a starting point. “Manual reductions” means you, as a human, looked over every measure of every chart on every difficulty and made sure the reductions were good, for rhythm, relative pitch (if applicable), gem choices, etc. I’ll tweak the description on the song add/edit page to be clearer about this, right now it makes it sound like CAT is completely off-limits for “good” reductions.

 

Thanks, I wonder what happened to liking comments. 

 

Can’t find it anymore ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_biggrin.gif”>

 

I removed this functionality, it was adding a lot of overhead to other things I was changing and I personally didn’t find that it added much to the forums experience. We can put it back if enough people want it back.

Will we be able to upload customs that only work with Phase Shift? I know that the majority of customs here are aimed to be played on Rock band. 

 

Also maybe a search filter to search for customs with download links for specific platforms, such as, Xbox, PS3, Phase Shift etc.

 

We may expand into other games in the future, but for at least a while we’re gonna be RB3-360-centric.

 

Those kinds of filters are coming, I have lots of “obvious” stuff like that which I just haven’t had time to do. ” src=”/wp-content/uploads/invision_emoticons/default_SA_frown.gif”>

Fixed! Check the first tab of your user profile. Your author ID is visible only to you.

Note: Your author ID has changed, because your forums ID has changed. This will not impact anything! The only purpose of author IDs is to ensure file uniqueness, and none of the old IDs overlap with the new ones. Feel free to use either your old ID or your new one.

[pksage]

Before the huge site update, you could see your Profile ID or Author ID on your profile, but now it’s nowhere to be found. It’s worth noting that there is a 4-digit number as part of the link to a user’s profile, but is this the author ID; if not, where would you find it?

 

This was an oversight in the forums migration, sorry! I’ll add it shortly: http://pksage.com/ccc/IPS/index.php?/tracker/issue-39-author-id-is-missing-from-user-profiles/?catfilter=1

I have a question regarding integrating a forum feature into this. You know how when we read a thread it is marked “read” and we can come back next week to the forum and see whats been unread as it’s Bolded? can this be done to the customs database so that those of us who visit only on weekends due to busy lives can catch up quickly where we left off, in order to not miss a single song since last week’s visit?

 

If not I’ll just keep the database as “Last Updated (DESC) ” and I’ll make note of the date of my last visit using the “Last Updated” column.

 

Huh, I thought there was a button for this, but there’s not! I’ll add one: http://pksage.com/ccc/IPS/index.php?app=tracker&showissue=40

 

yeah, i dont think theres a clear way to do this, cuz if i do that, itll notify me everytime a new song is up (wich lately, and thats nice, has been everytime), wich can get very annoying, i guess ill have to check from time to time.

 

@pksage , any clue if multiplatform links will be added anytime soon? not rushing things, i know u are having a hard work with this, just curious.

 

I finished this yesterday! I updated the announcement and the bug tracker thread about it. Go and edit one of your customs (or ask your favorite author to do so) to see it. Right now, the links to other platforms are only available in the song detail page, but I’ll be adding them to the list view as soon as I can.

[pksage]

Just a heads, up R U Mine is still missing from the database listing.

 

I don’t think we ever released “R U Mine?” as a C3 custom. Are you thinking of a different song, maybe? Here’s the database listing for the official RB3 DLC version of “R U Mine?”:  http://pksage.com/ccc/IPS/index.php?/page/index.html/_/hmx-rumine-r5692

 

Somebody Told Me will be back in when I add all of the RB4 songs. I think I might be misunderstanding you on R U Mine, though.
