Policy on RB3 Versions?

[impostor404]

Quick question. I just finished charting a song, and was going to make a post with links to both FoF and RB3 versions. However, my post was disallowed for "illegal content". I haven't been on this site in a while, and was just wondering if there was a FAQ I missed somewhere or if this was just a fluke.

It's basically the same rules as for multitracks. See: viewtopic.php?f=26&t=52411

Ok, that makes sense. Whoever deleted my thread probably looked at the filesize and assumed it was a multitrack.

However, most ways of compiling an mp3 into a RB3 file result in a way bigger size than an equivalent FoF track. Would this mean a RB3 file using a CD version like any other song here would be allowed?

I see now. I was the one who denied the post it because I initially thought it was a rip of a song FROM RB3

It's not explicitly mentioned in the rules anywhere, but it's discouraged to post an RB3 version of a charted song without the FoF(iX) version. You do know this forum is for the game Frets On Fire, right? The vast majority of members here would rather have that version instead.

Thanks for clearing that up. I was planning on editing the post to include the FoFix version later, since I was having some problems with it. I only posted the RB3 version first because I chart primarily for that now, even though I started with FoF. The new post will have both.

Bumping this to try to spark some discussion.

I would like to see a rule set in place about Con files. Lately I have seen quite a few "Tune Posting" topics regarding RB3 con file formatted customs. The authors of these topics only supply the con format and that's it. Since this is a Frets on Fire forum, I believe this should not happen. I don't have a problem with the actual RB3 customs themselves, but rather the lack of support for FoF. I strongly believe that if you post songs that are formatted for RB3 you should have to post their FoF formatted versions as well.

The Con-only topics are not benefiting FoF at all. In fact, they are causing confusion. Forcing FoF versions to be posted with Con files will fix both of those issues.

We're always watching

Besides, most of you don't see the posts that get denied in the moderator queue. I'm regularly shooting down multitrack posts and such.

Im with Wolferacing on this. The fact here being this forum didnt start as a game hacks forum. All or most songs should be compatible with fof\fofix\PS first, everything else second
