Hi everyone, this beta gives an overhaul to the setlist and its features. I think it's a really nice step from the old setlist and I hope you like it as well. Special credit goes to iancer, who came up with the idea of renewing the setlist - I didn't implement all of your features, but I hope that you'll recognize your initial proposal! rapidshare.com/files/107177862/GZ_Beta_5_-_Update_2.rarSo, tell me what you think of the new design! Bye, Callisto 12/04/08 - Beta 5 Update 2 - Now using a texture for the beat guidelines (BeatGuideline.png) - Added support for "Year"-tags in .dat, .mid and .chart files - Visual overhaul of the whole setlist - Added support for "label.png" for tiers and folders (if the one in the folder can't be found, the next-higher one is chosen) - Added tag "SortSetlistBy" in config.xml to control setlist sorting. Possible values are "Title", "Artist" and "Directory". - Some fonts have been renamed - Modders, please check this in case your mod doesn't use its expected font anymore

fatdogChoose setlist before songlist has become the default option. Were you actually using it the other way round?

Post by fatdog on Apr 13, 2008 14:05:27 GMT -5
yea, i always change it to false, seemed to work nicer for custom songs where difficualty is never consistant between songs so quicker switching is nice, if u have a lot of sub folders having to go all the wait out to change it gets annoying

How do I make it let me choose my difficulty after I pick the song? The option is gone from the config.xml.

@callisto I literally can not thank you enough. edit- c'mon now Callisto! you re-implement sorting by foldername, yet you remove 'choosedifficultybeforesetlist'?!?!? just remember, giving the user the OPTION to customize is always the safest bet...i cant thank you enough for the features, just in the future dont remove any! make them OPTIONAL! callisto = roxorz!

Lol this is like the best-est update eva!!!
But one thing, the bug where the game exits the song b4 it's over still happens to me for some songs (such as mother from GHII and TTFAF on GHIII).
Nice setlist idea when the details box pops up. Lol if u keep this up, GZ might end up being better than the actual GH game.

iancerActually, all the new setlist features depend on you selecting the difficulty level first (i.e. displaying your score etc.). That's why I took that option out. CJB100Can't reproduce that problem. Does it happen when you enable compatibility mode in config.xml?

Many thanks for this new update. The new setlist is very nice, eveything works well except for the configure inputs with the Xbox controller. I've only "righthumstickup" for any key. I've replaced the new config.xml by the old and that works !

iancer: ya i would've said something bout the setlist too but then i realized the scores changed when i switched difficulties. @castillo: ya i am using compatibility mode, but it did the same thing b4 i switched it over. Actually the reason i put it in compatibility is becuz it was stopping the songs b4 hand. I've been switching options on and off, but it doesn't seem like it's caused by having a certain option on or off. Shuld i try re-dl-ing the whole game? maybe it happened becuz i've been switching a lot of mods l8ly?

Is it not possible to keep the difficulty select options as they used to be, and for the scores shown on screen have them alternate from easy medium hard expert REGARDLESS of what difficulty you are on? You then get to see all your scores and everyones happy with the difficulty select which i must admit i did prefer. Anyway just a thought... cjb I got that error frequently in previous release. Im not playing at the moment due to no guitar so i cant tell you if it happens to me now as well... I could try some insanely fast keyboard strumming LOL see if that kills it?

could just have it display the number 1 top score of each difficualty in the list just for this quick preview system, save the full list of lower scores for the dedicated leaderboard / scoreboard, then u have all the important information you need without giving up functionality

Post by CJB100 on Apr 13, 2008 17:36:54 GMT -5
ya i think it's something with speed, too. it tends to stop when i'm strumming really fast.

Post by iamsensay on Apr 13, 2008 17:46:08 GMT -5
LOL we have discussed thias before i beleive and i said it mainly happened to me on DF songs! You dont get much faster strumming!

Post by kunkstar7 on Apr 13, 2008 17:46:19 GMT -5
I am getting the same problem as CJB100. The song stops as soon as I start strumming at a decent pace, but only when I'm in multiplayer, because I can play quickplay just fine.
But definitely an awesome update. I love the new setlist, continue the amazing work!

Lol i remember that now...!
And i just had that problem where star power cuts off right after u use it. But only on one song that i'm aware of, and it's custom, and i can beat it no sweat.
Hey castillo (when u finally get bak on here and read this post again...) i'm gonna re-dl everything and keep compatibility mode off and see if the problems stop happening.

I like the new setlist I still have to choose the difficulty 2 times... don't know why. (didn't do update 1... just update 2) Things I would like to see next - Enter your name after a song is completed if you are in the top scores. - Support for the Xplorer whammy bar (sound is distorted when bar is released but ok at midway) - Better whammy sound effect (I know it's experimental) - Starpower meter Congratulation for this great game I like it a lot.
