Slight Graphic Update Pack

Just wanted to let you know that I have taken a few of the images and spiced them up including the fire effect on the main page, the font (still needs work, it's reworked from a Doom port), the note hit gfx, the neck, some of the rock indicator (you know, the lights and the multiplier text), the selector (flaming guitar) and modified the mario level with a checkered background as well as moved him to one side of the fretboard and the drummer to the other for better visibility (felt partially hidden behind the fretboard). Just wondering if you are interested in taking a looksee or allowing me to link and distribute the pack. :) Great work so far!

You are free to release any gfx pack, or modded version as you wish. (As long as they don't use official GH/RB gfx) and if I think it's an improvement then I'll ask if I can include those in the next release. If you rather not release it separate but have it included in the main release then you could pass me a download link on irc. --Daid 08:22, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

Questions

why can't i upload my new RB2 mod and put it under mods, due to copyright? and ftw you can edit the raw notes (note.raw) in mspaint just fyi kthx - calthephenom

Just an idea... (freestyle drumming)

Ok, so this may not be the right place to put it, but I had an idea last night. As a musician, I often use the 'music studio' part of GH just to bash out some beats or try to write music (I live in the middle of a bunch of old people, so I can't play my real drums at home.), so I was thinking... How hard would it be to write a similar program for the wii that would not only let you play samples with the GHWT drums, but maybe even more. Ideally, if one could put some original music on SD, then play it back while drumming away to it, this would be an IDEAL tool for solo songwriters. I'm not much of a coder, and I've never tried to make a wii game (Or any console game, for that matter), but a program like this would certainly benefit me, and surely some of the people that play this game are actual musicians as well, and could probably use it too? I know that the WT drums have midi-in only, therefore eliminating the possibility of using them with the PC in the manner I'm speaking of, BUT if there was a wii app built for it... Well, it gets me all excited just thinking about it. I have alot of ideas if you're even remotely interested in this, and I didn't know how else to get in touch with you about it, so I put it here. I'll get rid of this section later if it's too irrelevant. Again, thanks for great work and support! KenithCanule 19:50, 26 September 2009 (UTC) just use tabit and hamienet for midi conversion, then chart it using Feedback 0.97 (scorehero.com has info) your overcomplicating it Calthephenom 19:59, 26 September 2009 (UTC) Insert non-formatted text here

Well, I checked out all three of those (tabit, hamienet, and Feedback), but still don't understand how those would help me do anything I'm trying to do here. I'm not trying to make charts or midis, or even COMPOSE music at all. (Except in my head). All I want to do is play my WT drums (Freestyle), and have an MP3 (Or whatever) playing behind it. Being able to record what I'm playing would be nice, but I suppose not necessary, and if it DID, I wouldn't need it to record as a chart/midi anyways. I just want a sampler, pretty much. KenithCanule 23:51, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

I see what you want, just freestyle drumming on top of a track (and maybe recording it in the process), I can understand that it would be a great and fun tool for you. However, I currently don't read the velocity information from the GHWT drums and I don't have any drum samples to play. So it would still require significant amounts of work to get it to work. (And I have no idea where I can find free drum samples) Also, maybe there are some GlovePie scripts that allow you to do all this on a PC. --Daid 09:42, 28 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello daid ^_^ need some help with my lua code so I can run this stage smoothly

Hi I have been stressing about this... Its the lua code Im trying to make my on stage by Using the lua code In Guitarfun Stage and the Baisic template (Background) Stage And I tried to merge these codes together like this:

--[[
For the lua language look at www.lua.org

GuitarsOnFire functions documentation:
--------------------------------
setPos(x,y,z, yaw, pitch, roll)
	Set the next drawing location, in 3D space. 0,0,0 is the center of the stage, near the end of the neck in 1 player mode.
	
	example: everywhere.
--------------------------------
drawQuad(width, height, color, alpha)
	draws a simple 1 colored square, at te location set with setPos
	
	example: guitarfun stage, floor.
--------------------------------
drawTexture(textureNum, texCoordX, texCoordY, texCoordw, texCoordH, width, height, alpha)
	draws a textured quare

	example: everywhere
--------------------------------
getTime()
	returns the time in miliseconds
getTime(mod)
	returns the time in miliseconds with modulo [mod] (remainder of after dividing with [mod])
getTime(div, mod)
	returns the time in miliseconds divided by [div], and then modulo [mod]
	usefull for animations
	
	example: animation of guitarfun stage, and mario stage
--------------------------------
getInput()
	returns the input for all attached controlers
	(see inputmasks)
getInput(n)
	returns the input for player [n]
getInputPressed()
	returns the input for all attached controlers, but only if just pressed down this tick.
getInputPressed(n)
	returns the input for player [n], but only if just pressed down this tick.
getInputAngle(n)
	returns the 'pitch' of the guitar.
getInputWhammy(n)
	returns the position of the whammy bar. (0 to 1, where 1 is pressed down)
getInputTouch(n)
	returns the touched values of the slider bad (if available)
	
	example: 'enemies' in mario stage, and hand movement of GuitarsOnFire stage
--------------------------------
hasBit(n, m)
	returns true if [n] contains any of the bits found in [m]
	
	example: used in combination with getInput* functions, so same examples.
--------------------------------
getPlayerInfo(n)
	returns a table with player info, containing the following fields:
		playing, score, streak, bestStreak, difficulty, quality, leftyFlip
		
	example: GuitarsOnFire stage uses this for the flames on the guitar, counting players and the rocking hands.
--------------------------------

Input masks:
0x0001 : guitar attached

--[[ Guitarfun is a very basic stage, it should be easy to base your own stages of this one. --]]

--load the textures
TEX_CREW = loadTexture("crew.png");
TEX_CREW2 = loadTexture("crew2.png");
TEX_BACKGROUND = loadTexture("background.png");

--Some startup initalization, simply choose some random people on stage by choosing different textures.
crew1 = math.random(0, 1);
crew2 = math.random(0, 1);
crew3 = math.random(0, 1);
if crew1 == 0 then crew1 = TEX_CREW else crew1 = TEX_CREW2 end
if crew2 == 0 then crew2 = TEX_CREW else crew2 = TEX_CREW2 end
if crew3 == 0 then crew3 = TEX_CREW else crew3 = TEX_CREW2 end

function draw()
	--Draw the gray stage platform
	setPos(0,2.0,-2.0, 0, 90, 0);
    drawQuad(8, 2.5, 0x808080, 255);
    setPos(0, 1.0,0.5, 0, 0, 0);
    drawQuad(8, 1, 0x404040, 255);
    
	--draw the band
    setPos(-5, 4.0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    drawTexture(crew1, 0.00, 0.25 * getTime(150, 4), 0.25, 0.25, 2, 2, 255);
    setPos( 0, 4.0,-2, 0, 0, 0);
    drawTexture(crew2, 0.25, 0.25 * getTime(150, 4), 0.25, 0.25, 2, 2, 255);
    setPos( 5, 4.0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
    drawTexture(crew3, 0.50, 0.25 * getTime(150, 4), 0.25, 0.25, 2, 2, 255);

	--draw the background
    setPos(0, 0, 0, 0, -25, 0);
    drawTexture(TEX_BACKGROUND, 0, 0, 1, 1, 10, 10, 255);

end

And it ends out like this: http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/3999/errorhp.png And I Desired It to look like this: http://img19.imageshack.us/img19/1345/afterxs.png Can you please Edit this code for me and post it on here I would Very much like that. If you dont want so send me the code on here send it to my email Labtech9998@yahoo.com I don't usualy check that email but tell me if you sented it for me on this topic here on this website. Thanks! --Labtech9998 23:56, 27 September 2009 (UTC)

A Restart button when pausing!

This would be a great ide bacause I stress alot on this game without restarting beacuse when you exit a song It goes back to the main menu. Can you add this option? and an option for difficuly? (The option for difficulty can be added if you want its just a nice addition) Thanks! ^_^ --Labtech9998 23:56, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
