Extracting and Combining charts

[Ningamer]

With the note limit gone, I want to try stringing together every on-disc song in GH3 with well timed cross-fades and stuff to make one super-long song. To do this, I need to extract the charts for every song and splice them all together at the right times, preferrably with different BPMs and forced HOPOs in-tact. Editing the audio is easy enough once it's all extracted, but I have no idea how to extract it (and the charts) and then string the charts together. Can anyone help here?

You should probably try making a song that would be as long as all the on-disc songs before you bother doing any real work. I suspect there might be issues with the audio being that long.

You can extract the charts via GHTCP but I don't believe it will extract them in the same .chart format GHTCP uses.

Considering you're going to have variable offsets and whatnot, doing this by hand (unless you know enough to write your own tools) is more or less your only option.

Information from this thread may assist you, althout it is geared towards GH2. Alternately, doing this for GH2 may be a better option for you. It's based on HMX-format MIDI files, but I do know there is a chart2mid2chart tool out there. Going that route is likely to result in the loss of forced HOPOs, but that is a tradeoff you may be willing to make if you're unable to do it all manually as ExileLord suggests. I do know that GH2 is much more forgiving in terms of song and chart length (as in, I'm not aware of a song length limit, nor a note limit, although I haven't run a chart longer than 5000ish notes, and if nothing else there is likely a "physical" note limit owing to the amount of RAM present).

Also a late reply. I'm not sure where exactly GH2 breaks down in terms of on-screen gems. I know that despite the fact that the frame rate drops significantly with large amounts of on-screen gems at slow trackspeed, at least the internal beatmatching logic still runs on every frame, as does the autoplayer. No idea regarding external input, as such situations would be physically impossible to hit or even read.
