Hi everyone, it's nice to see that we're finally making progress towards a 3D stage. It isn't included in this beta yet, but a few people have done outstanding work in the submissions section and I'm confident that we will be able to put something up towards Beta 7. Therefore, here's a little reward in the form of the latest GZ beta rapidshare.com/files/122605605/GZ_Beta_6.rarBye, Callisto ------------------- Changes: 14/06/08 - Beta 6 - Added support for "*" events in .chart files - Added support for GuitarStream and BassStream tags in .chart files - Made the rock meter increments / decrements much closer to GH3 (thus the game became more difficult!) - Added support for alpha transparency in note models(thanks fatdog) - Moved "Starpower Ready" message slightly so it's not blocking view on the fretboard so much - Crowd is now clapping in sync with measures - Fretboard is now blinking red if the player is near to failing - Added a directory from which background music is loaded dynamically - Songlist now remembers user's selection, even through multiple folders and after going back to another menu - Added support for custom resolutions (see config.xml) - Stages and mods now have to state for which resolution they were designed. For positions (x,y), they can now also use "real values" (i.e. x=500, y=200). - Fixed a bug with the video stage when ending a song - Added support for an animated 2D stage (see stage2d.xml) - Improved support for analogue whammy's with X-Box 360 controllers - Now looking for "Stage.avi" or "Stage.wmv" recursively from the song's directory to the general song directory. If no Stage.avi is found there, the file is searched in resources\videos. If it not there either, the static 2d image stage is used. - The last two features were kindly sponsored by "elgordo123". He is also the reason that you're already receiving this version, so please say "thank you" to him!!

Thank you very much for your effort you've made again, Callisto! Im really glad of the custom resolution and that GH'ish rock meter increase/decrease, makes playing more challenging

I'm absolutely loving the resolution, thank you so much everything is so clear now! BTW, I dont know if its the background or what, but in freeplay (not in multiplayer) when the song ends or if you quit, the game crashes, I'll post the error in a sec EDIT: by the looks of it, it is the background that crashes it:

AMAZING UPDATE! Whammy now works perfect! HOPO system now can accept a strum for hopo in a series of notes of the same fret(yeah, I think I'm pretty much the only one that has noticed) Resolution changing is awesome! Now the only two things that are missing are: Star power meter No HOPO on one of the same frets after a chord(please? or atleast a toggle) EDIT: almost forgot, the game crashes after playing a song

wait did you reupload a second time? cuz then i have to deal with rs's download limit EDIT: hmm it doesn't crash for me... Like it but the rock meter goes up slooooowwwwwww and the red flashing is kind of a weird color but thats probably cuz i just got up. the animated 2d stage opens up so many possibilities. We could even sync animations to hitting SP phrases and such...

haha it fails too quickly for me... no more beating ttfaf And another 2D stage idea www.fretsonfire.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=11;t=23825What it is is a whole picture instead of split into parts. The images are rotated through by file name at a certain rate. there was something else but i forgot... Callisto, do you think we can implement the SP meter in the next few updates? stranxk has the tube style meter done as well.

If you can, please send the mirrors among each other by PM. I'm trying to get a little d/l statistic as well and those mirrors would be messing it up.
Thanks a lot, Callisto

callisto2002the game keeps resizing the images for custom resolutions, how i should do to skip that? i have changed the resolution in the config.xml and the menus.xml, but the game resizes almost all the images, just mainmenubackground, setlist, setlistbackground and meters arent resized i want have this in the game: instead of this: Thanks

Post by mew905 on Jun 15, 2008 14:55:00 GMT -5
that requires higher resolution images, thats the only problem there However whether or not it can accept those higher resolution images I dont know EDIT: duuurrrr I just read the first post over again and I missed the part where callisto put "mods now have to state for which resolution they were designed for"

Post by callisto2002 on Jun 15, 2008 15:00:58 GMT -5
stranxkmew905 is completely right. Go into menus.xml and change which resolution you're designing the mod for. This will also change the size of the image.

Nice beta. I like the animated 2d stage. Was kinda suprised you stuck with my 8-bit stage Figured you'd go for something less "pixelated". None the less, looks great. Just wondering, since I dont have any .chart songs, does the stage do anything using the "*" events?
