GZ Beta 6 Update 1

[callisto2002]

Hey Forum,

it's update time again. You can get Beta 6 Update 1 at

rapidshare.com/files/125816400/GZ_Beta_6_-_Update_1.rar

Bye,
Callisto

29/06/08 - Beta 6 Update 1
- Fixed .chart loading mixing up the guitar/song track (and generally behaving weirdly)
- Fixed StarpowerActivated-Trigger in stage.xml not working correctly
- Fixed meters in multiplayer being displaced on resolutions other than 800x600
- Fixed 2D stage not working during multiplayer game
- Fixed "resolution" field in stage2d.xml being named wrongly
- Renamed "Trigger" to "trigger", "StageDefinition" to "stage" in stage2d.xml (-> all stage2d.xml files have to be updated!)
- Fixed "looping" property in stage2d.xml not working properly
- Added solo progress display, similar to Rock Band (can be disabled in config.xml)
- Added new action to stage2d.xml <action xsi:type="StopAnimation"><actor>Guitar1</actor><priority>3</priority></action> that will stop any animations with priority >= N on the given actor.
- Added new trigger <trigger xsi:type="StarpowerDeactivated"></trigger> to stage2d.xml. This is the counterpart to the StarpowerActivated trigger.
- Disabled mipmapping when loading stage animations

I knew this one would be coming any minutes, as you mentioned ''Beta 6.1'' in glitch report thread

But i would have liked to see the kind of ''update'' package in this one, not the whole game.. but well, at least it is dumb-proof update.

BIG THANKS AGAIN!

[Tean]

Mucho thanks dude! I'll get to work on updating the Judy Nails stage for ya

I accidently deleted Beta 6, that's why I had to re-upload the whole package anyway.

Tean
Thanks!

OMG SOLO COUNTER THINGY!!!!!!!!!

does this turn the board blue like in rock band or just do the percentages?

[callisto2002]

CJB100
It does both, the board turns blue and a percentage counter appears. Naturally, it only works with songs that have song sections, so the game can recognize where the solo starts/ends.

[CJB100]

yes!!! your the awesome-est, lol. i've been waiting for that. so i guess this works with the gh games too if they have the song sections specified.

[moonflow43]

thanks again callisto, your amazing

[chriisck]

thanks callisto, your amazing
cant wait to try it out

[jtn]

Moonflow, other topic was closed for obvious reasons, Thanks for the heads up hyper speed i search but not good enough.but my problem wasn't missed notes but the penalty for them is harsher than GH3 strummed missed notes. I'm playing GH3 right now on PS3.

[forfeitspawn]

Newbie alert! The rar. file doesn't work, me can't do it! Help!

[bob78h]

First, you are opening it in WinRAR or 7zip right?
;D

Next, if you get the corrupted message, try redownloading it.

[flipsk8r1409]

[xorange90x]

[JD2504]

thnx callisto, is good to know you heard us even when you dont reply our requests thanks again

[Tean]

Callisto, I can't get StarpowerActivatedTrigger in Stage2D.xml to work still. Here's the entry:

<trigger xsi:type="StarpowerActivatedTrigger">
<action xsi:type="PlayAnimation">
<animation actor="star" priority="1">
<file>stage_JudyNails1\star.png</file>
<x>0</x>
<y>0</y>
<looping>true</looping>
<files>20</files>
<imagesX>20</imagesX>
<layer>3</layer>
<speed>16</speed>
<unit>Beats</unit>
</animation>
</action>
</trigger>

Wow the solo meter was a rather pleasant surprise! Especially that it recognizes chart sections with "solo" in the title. One thing I wanna bring up though, Feedback allows you to enter "solo_on" and "solo_off" event tags (I think they're mainly meant for the onstage performers). Using these in addition to the section names to recognize where a solo actually is would allow us to use neat section names and still have it as a solo. Nothing important, but something to think about.

[gohda]

I don't know if there's anything special I have to do for it, but the tags on .charts don't work right. For example, Slow Ride will show up as "slowride" by "SLOWRIDE AUTHORS (ROCK)".

Check the actual .chart. Slow Ride (moonflow43's version) shows up correctly for me.

[diewithhonor420]

[xorange90x]

callisto said this new link in his first post IS the FULL game with the update, cuz he lost something.

[JD2504]

I don't know how to check them, but I am using Moonflow's and they aren't working as they should.

[Tean]

They open in Notepad.

[superkompany]

callisto thanks for the new beta.

but, can you tell me how to compress 90 megas to 17?

because i extract, and recompress whit win rar and compress 79 megas...

y put the best compression and all, and compress 79 megas....

thanks

[ken]

hmm, downloaded and unzipped. but when i start the program I get an error.
you know that windows "Don't Send" error
anyway, is there any other way to download this than using rapidshare, cause now I have to pay to download more on that site.

Edit: Was able to DL it again, but still get the error msg.

[callisto2002]

ken
That error message probably stems from you not having the other files installed that you need to run GZ. Download and install everything as mentioned on this page:
