Great to see this coming to fruition, max. It's easy and pretty!

On the other hand, I have been experiencing a number of bugs:

1. On the Quickplay setlist, the song titles are correct but the "artist" displayed under the name is the Tier name. On the Bonus setlist, there is no artist name displayed, and on the Download setlist the artist of the first song is copied onto all other songs below it.

2. On ALL songs, after the loading screen it should display the name of the song, artist, and year before the fretboard comes up, but instead it displays it in a Song Title by Song Title format.

3. On some songs, the music starts at the correct time, but the chart starts at some point a few seconds into the track. I know this isn't very helpful, but I'm trying to figure out exactly what kind of chart/mid is doing this (if there's a simple pattern).
Perhaps this has something to do with the crazy default offsets it keeps giving me? On one song the offset defaults to -2465 or some such, so I change it to 2000 and it gives me the aforementioned error. I re-imported it again and didn't touch the offset and experienced a similar error.

4. I too am experiencing the hard lockup of the control panel after double right-clicking. I'm running an up-to-date WinXP system.

Since I don't see any mention of things like this in the last couple pages, I can only assume I've done something horribly wrong, but I can't see what. I started with an unmodified, 1.3 GH3, and I've got all the necessary programs installed (.NET, the mp3 library, etc).

Some bugs i have found:
1. When i go to add a song and pick all my files (guitar.ogg,rhythm.ogg,song.ogg and notes.mid) everything goes good. Its when the next screen comes up where i can then edit the artist's name and year. I entered all song information so it would look like this:
-We Three Kings (Name)
-Steve Ouimette (artist)
-2007 (year)
Here's a screenshot

If i leave it like that i ed up with something like:
-WETHREEKINGS
STEVEOUIMETTE2007
I then had to add the following to make it work:
-We Three Kings (Name)
-Steve Ouimette , (artist) notice the " , "
-2007 (year)
Here's a pic

this is what i ended up with

thats about it other then the problems that others have had, where the song parts are all distorted, also the previews:

How did you get the songs to have the right parts for practice?

Ok guys, some damage control.

Offset bug fixed (I forgot to set both the input offset and note offset to the same value).

I am looking into the program freeze problem. It’s suppose to be busy during the game execution because it tries to hack the game so your save file will work. The hack starts 10 seconds after you ran the game, because it needs to be executed after the initial loading screen and I thought that 10 seconds is enough for all PCs.

Artist/year show title bug fixed (I didn’t add an empty entry if you didn’t fill up the box). You have to keep it to this format “, 2008” if you want the year to display the same (look at the originals) because I want to have more control over the text and what it displays.

I’m not sure what the audio distortion is. The program does not resample mp3 files (the game can load any CBR mp3 if you setup the fsb properly) but maybe the game has a problem if you have different sample/bit rate audio tracks running at the same time. I don’t hear any distortion though, I only hear you missing some notes which consequentially cuts the audio track.

There is no GH3 unique sustain. It’s a bug in all mid.qb/GH3 related programs out there that intended to import the same GH2 format but ended up creating your so called GH3 sustain (GZ calls it ‘my sustain bug’). I don’t know if it’s a good idea to give the option to create the sustain bug…

I already started rewriting things to work with my new qb structure, so I cannot run or test anything yet.

Once I’m done I’ll release a new version.

People, try to keep your bug reports organized so I won’t need to read the same bug 10 times but think they are all different bugs.

Thanks for your support and help in debugging.

Max, thanks for all you do for us - again!

On the program freezing, it has to do with when the game is executed from double right-clicking the icon. If you run the game without your shortcut, it will not freeze your program, but at the same time will not execute the save game fix. It looks like it may be an error in the save game part of the script that locks up the program. Maybe this was obvious, but I thought I would help you get more understanding on the issue.

Hmm I wanted to add all of my guitar hero songs in, but am having trouble importing any of my Guitar Hero I songs.

Export from Execute Actions

Create Game Track: iwannabesedated ... FAILED

Export from Log:

07/12/2008 11:23:48 :: Create Game Track: iwannabesedated

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection.
Parameter name: index

Edit: I followed the other post in this thread and converted the .mid to .chart, and it worked. Just posting a more detailed bug report for you MaX.

Just wanted to give you a heads up. I have the latest version of your program and I still have the offset issue. I am not sure by your recent message if you had released the new version with the fix or not so I posted anyways.

dra: Thank you, I'll look into it. I never tested my midi library with GH1 mids, but I used Leff's conversion method (to chart) so it should have worked.

shadow: I said that I already started rewriting code, so I can't compile or test anything ATM. I'll upload it once I'm done, and you will see a date change in the post and detailed report in the first post on bugs fixed.

Game Track cannot be parsed.
An entry with the same key already exists.

Now I have no idea what this is talking about because the song I am importing has NOT been imported, it doesn't have the same name as another song in any way. I am getting this error when selecting my notes.mid file. I even converted it to notes.chart and still get the same error.

EDIT: Just read your post. I tried leff's converter and guitar hero 1 .mids would not read in the c2m2c. Only dB worked for conversions.

The problem with:

Game Track cannot be parsed.
An entry with the same key already exists.

I had when importing my gh2 version of strutter. When looking at it I was wondering if it had anything to do with the customs.ids file.

Like the 0x keys, for example:

0xc3c1d10a iloverocknroll_song_expert
0xf40b23f5 iloverocknroll_expert_star
0xb61f7e74 iloverocknroll_expert_starbattlemode
0x2d21e4ab iloverocknroll_song_rhythm_easy
0xc6e2964f iloverocknroll_rhythm_easy_star
0x8e5b6a67 iloverocknroll_rhythm_easy_starbattlemode
0x43e416cf iloverocknroll_song_rhythm_medium
0xb1cf4e89 iloverocknroll_rhythm_medium_star
0x1f996e82 iloverocknroll_rhythm_medium_starbattlemode
0xa55661ee iloverocknroll_song_rhythm_hard

EDIT: Somehow it worked after converting it with C2M2C. :\ weird...
