Hi guys and girls, I got a new GZ Beta and thought, I'd share it with you So, keep the downloads coming: rapidshare.com/files/92725346/GZ_Beta_4.rarBye, Callisto ----------------------------- Changes: - Added support for songs from .chart files - Using images for most menu texts, instead of native fonts (see Text_*.png) - Text for the above-mentioned menus can now be freely positioned using the menus.xml file. Modders will have to adapt their mods accordingly. - Using environment mapping for the ingame notes - Not rotating regular notes anymore - Enabled Z Buffer while drawing the note models - Fixed bug where preview in the training mode's song section selection would play the wrong song part (thanks fude) - Fixed "Save Changes" option being off the screen during input configuration - Slightly reduced the volume of menuforward.wav, menuback.wav and menumove.wav - Tried lowering the requirements to shader 1.1 - Option <HyperSpeed>true</HyperSpeed> in config.xml now enables hyperspeed on all difficulty levels

if there's no note spin anymore... could that mean... the rockband notes we've all been waiting for?

theres no note spin, for "normal" notes. I think there still is for star power? (not 100% sure, as I have't been able to try it)

My computer has below 1.1 shaders and I'm not sure you could drop the requirements that much. Either way, it would be majorly appreciated if you could. Anyway, thanks a lot for the effort you've been putting into this and releasing it and being patient with everyone.

I wasnt trying to be an [censored] lol Im just saying.. this game wasnt made for super nintendo in '92 i just think its sorta piss poor for a game like frets on fire that might not have the capabilities or be coded the same as GZ2 but does the same thing in a similar manner and it works for everyone. that's all. one day GZ2 will probably have support for below 1.1 though.

flipsk8r1409What do you mean by "your notes don't shine anymore"? Can you post a screenshot? poisonAs far as I can tell, it's never going to go down from the current requirements - at least not shader-wise. Sorry, but if your card can't do Shader 1, it won't run with XNA at all.

i mean any of the notes i made wont shine anymore with the materials i had on them its most likely cause you added a new shader to them please add an option in the config to turn the shader off heres a picture comparison to show you what i mean this is before this is after

the environment map, is this something built into the game that effects all notes or does it just mean the game now supports this feature so can we setup our own environment maps as we like
also is there anyway to gain control over the note spin option since my notes were actually designed to work with the spinning, a toggle in the xml maybe?
ideally some time down the line animation support on the notes would be the best solution since we could then animate / rotate things however we want without any settings needing to be changed whenever people switch notes

Post by flipsk8r1409 on Feb 18, 2008 8:36:55 GMT -5
yeah but animating the notes would make the game run slower and no the environment map is not completely built in there is an external image and even a shader omg maybe i could put different shaders on them

By the way I reinstall my OS yesterday, then the same problem with the XNA 2.0... Then I found the solution.. You must install all the stuff in this order. Net framework 1.1 + 2.0 + service pack (logical right) XNA 1 .0 XNA 2.0 and at last directX 9c For me if I install directx9c before the other components the Guitar Star crash and send me the error of XNA ! But even with the directX9c installed I do a reinstallation over himself and then the Guitar Star begins to work... So I thinks if the order of the installations (it works for me I tried twice in diferent machine with the same result)

great work on the new beta! i appreciate that you lowered the volume on the menu sounds, it truly did the trick btw, is they whammy support still in development status? to me it doesn't seem to bend sound, just mute the right speaker or something. sounds really weird
