Well , i can confirm that the .VOC files are indeed the animation stuff for the singer , but i hit a dead end at that and am currently looking for a VOC editor.

There appeaars to be 1 by logitech , but i cant seem to find it.
Still looking for it thoiugh.

Hi, maybe someone can help, I have been trying to get the singer to sing also and i may have stumbled upon something , but need help figuring it out

I extracted the sfx.wad, and inside the wad are the same looking folders that come out of the datap.wad that you extract normally.

Inside the wad is a folder that is named "songs" with all the pak files inside, but you cannot extract these paks, inside the paks are the qbpab files

If you use pakeditor to extract the files it will not work, but if you use pakeditor and type "list" instead of "extract" it wil give you a txt file that shows you what is inside the pak and it says "songname.mid.qb.ps2 and songname_song_scripts.qb.ps2.

Generally pointing to the pak in the datap.wad when you extract a song it gives you the 2 files songname.mid.qb.ps2 and songname_song_scripts.qb.ps2.

I then used midiqbparse to make a qbp file (qbp = qbpab) pointer file

I then tried to use pakeditor to relace the qbpab file in the sfx.wad.
The editor started working and giving me a list that says replacing offfset # ......................
offfset # ......................
offfset # ......................
offfset # ......................

It looks to be working, but then it just stops and says that pakeditor has run in to a problem and needs to close

I need to find a pak editor that will finish the job

I belive this will point to the band animations making the band sync with the music, making the singer sing

help is much appreciated
Thank you

P.S.

Well, I have GHIII and I have succefully put about 25 customs on it. This doesnt really matter now to me though because I have to use the black screen. But I will still help.

It seems like you could be on to something. Dont forget, though, not all GH and RB tools are on that page. There could be one WAAAAAAAAY back on the forums written in a way that is perfect for what we need it for.... But most likely not.

I put a screenshot here hope it shows, if it does show....... this is with pakeditor trying to replace a qbp file

I made a mistake before.. This is what is in the pak fle in the sfx.wad when you type 'list" with pakeditor

Type: 2F110025
File number: 0
Offset: -535434716
(Loading PAB file anarchyintheuk.pab.ps2...)

So trying to replace qbp file in this pak would be practical....?

The list I was tallking about before comes from the dbg.pak

You say you have successfully put in 25 custom songs, does the band sync to those songs, if they do please tell, how you did that...

Im trying to get everything to align/sync up... I have successfully put together some customs myself , but the band never syncs to the music, just the guitarist does

Im searching the whole contents of the disk, trying to find the answer

I've been thinking hard and long and here's another idea: Create tracks using feedback, for like drums and everything else. Then, convert the .chart into a Rock Band .mid file. From there, open it up in a midi program and again, change the PART_VOCALS to BAND_VOCALS. I just thought of this because the bassist plays PART_BASS, so I thought this might work too.

P.S. I say put it in to convert to Rock Band because Rock Band is compatible with the PART_DRUMS and PART_VOCALS.

well, looking all the way back to mOBSCENE's post on the first page, I just had a look and the songs without vocals (my customs included) are so much smaller than the ones with vocals:

bowsershredder_song.pak.xen: 24KB
one_song.pak.xen: 2412 KB

That 2388KB difference MUST be the singers movements. I never actually got mOBSCENE's post. NOW I DO. All we would need would be a .xen editor and see what comes up if we open both of the files above.

Instead of editing the .VOC file directly, could there be a way you could export the contents so you can edit in in a 3D imaging program like 3DS Max?

If i remeber correctly, one of the movies you can buy from the store, Slash's, Morello's or somebody's, shows them wearing a mo cap suit, then it shows a glimpse of a computer screen running 3DS Max recording the data from the mo cap suit.

Ive only added the customs to GHIII, never messed with anything else, so I appologize if this is a stupid question.
