what the guy above me said. and as far as chords... unless i missed the alg.(can't spell that damned word) for it, it just made all the chords in the chart to single notes. sometimes if it were a 3 button chord, it'd leave two of the notes.

Sweeeet! I love you. I have a bunch of charts without star power and I needed a way to add it quickly.

If someone gets a chance I would like to know if the new exe runs if you don't have the JRE installed.

eg. If you don't have java installed on your comp, try running the program, and let me know if it works, and if not what happens. pics are wonderful

Just updated my ACE guide for the new version. Since the guide was the first time i used 0.10 there might be things that need changing.

humour, is there any chance of you implimenting that feature i mentioned a while ago? where it automatically adds random star power to all .chart files in a particular folder and simply adds "star" to the end of each files name.

it would be a VERY helpfull feature.

I have been playing around a bit with the "random star power" additions and I always end up with the same issue of SP is off kilter, either way too much, or way too little. as for the directory thing, I am looking into that now. Would you rather I implement that or create an easier to use interface. like a single window pops up with the options and text fields (may look comparably similar to Elmer's GUI).

One of those things is coming in the next update (11) and the other will be in (12). I am also looking into favoring the "on-beat" notes. but I need to learn more about the info being stored to find out what defines which notes are "on-beat". if someone knows about that, it would be helpful.

E.g. I can easily check the timestamp, I just need the number to check against. say.... if(Timestamp mod beat) = 0; then favor this note.
But I need to know how to determine what the beat is.

Edit: I've started on the GUI. And it's looking nice so far, I've set up more than half of the cosmetic entities, and done a little background coding (exit code, icon viewing, stuff like that). If I have time I may be able to get that cranked out tonight. we'll see. So that's what (11) will be, the GUI.

If someone could work out an equation for me to determine which notes are "on-beat" then I can add that in to (11) , or if it takes too long that will show up in (12). directory reading and automation may come in (11), pending an analysis of how much work it will require.

I mean, it's not that it's impossible. It would be very simple for me to add an automation factor.....I think. But it requires me to do research in how to access all the files in a folder recursively/repetatively. And I simply have never done anything like that before. I know that it can be done with java (the language I am using) but I just never tried it, so i need to research it before I can implement it.

That of course also means that the first attempt is bound to be very buggy.

Carrot, you mentioned a "star power does not deplete" glitch. I am not sure what would cause that, but I can make a few guesses, and none of them involve anything that is the fault of my program. My best guess is that it comes from a senario such that you activated SP, but before it runs out, you are able to gain more SP through a glitch in the GH3 code itself. this clearly would be affected by my program if ACE adds too many SP sections, then you would get it, activate it, and then keep adding to the stock and never really run out because most of the notes are a part of a SP section.
If you want to figure out what is causing the problem, by all means go for it. i would suggest starting by making a list of all the songs that show the glitch, and which songs were replaced. then swap the new songs to different slots and see if the same glitch occurs. I would bet that it occurs with the same few songs, over and over on each disk you make, and so it seems like an anomaly.

One last thing(for this post, and a few hours):
Anyone who wants an added functionality or anything please post a comment or send me an email, and I will put it on the to-do list. Carrot's request is at the top along with mid support (which will be pretty difficult i think). But now that the program is pretty reliable, it is easy to simply add functionality to it. especially now that I am creating a gui, and not simply using a command-line/prompt box input method.

Edit: Gui is complete (graphically). Now begins the task of linking it with the code I wrote. Not too hard, but takes a bit of time, which I have run out of tonight. Sorry folks. check back in a day or two.

the auto-charting program works great with my baroque'n roll chart i made, but however, it only worked the first time because i wanted to see what will be the notes on the other difficulties. by the time i finish the chart and i import it to the program to do the rest for the other difficulties, nothing has changed. Tried it about like 6 more times, still no luck. Any ideas?
