Yeah I would like to suggest better tails and hitflames. Other than that, nothing really.

hes already said that the hitflames arent finished, hes just not focusing on those right now, he has getting everything working higher on priority :P

I was wondering if thier was any plan on building a song creator for phase shifts? Either part of the game or its own executable.

that was already answered... he hopes that he dose not need to, but if eof or some new editor dosent add support for some of the features of PS then he probably will

Also, I'm having an issue getting my new GH guitar working. The game is saying that it's not profiled or known, but the 1st post says that the Gh2 xplorer is compatible. I tried 2 different drivers to no avail. In the control panel, the controller shows as "Guitar Hero X-plorer (Controller)"

Any other drivers I could try, or should I profile and send you the log? I have another GH2 Xplorer that worked, but that guitar is all jacked up. This one is brand new.

@cool29801 yea make a profile for it

Hi all!
This new release has support for Slider notes which can also be tapped using the normal buttons.
However, we are looking to implement the slider bar on supporting guitars.
If you have a Guitar with a sliderbar thats not listed below please contact me as I need to run a few tests before I can add it to the next release.
Currently tested Controllers:
XBOX 360 Guitar Hero WT
XBOX 360 Band Hero (Genericaster)

PS2/3 are needed most!

Thanks
David

I've got a couple'a PS2 WTars I can test with, but I need to solder a new down strum switch in em' first.

I would map out mine but like I said, when it asks for me to push the green button. I push it, and it still asks for green. Never moves on to red.

Pretty sure I've installed that front page stuff since a long time ago Edit: In fact I did, I just found the folder.

Whats the poly count on that stage? I run it fine on default settings, but when it shows the full audience (cats) I drop to about 2 fps. Everwhere else I'm hovering around 35~fps

it doesn't move onto the red because you haven't selected with the mouse what button green is, this does not function as a key bind game menu this requires some extra manual steps to ensure the inputs are correct

does this happen if you switch the background mode to something other than the 3d stage?

i'd have to check but, its getting pretty high but nothing thats beyond any standard modern game but we are starting to implement customisable graphics settings to help on slower machines, there are a number of optimisations still to be made that will hopefully speed things up but for now just try switching to the low option as that reduces the crowd numbers, i guess we could also have a no crowd option if needed

[cool29801]

I think you guys are still keeping up well though. My laptop is really bad, yet, I run it well considering I'm on a high res too. Mainly, I'm looking for a poly count so I can compare it with my current stage and future stages I make. I want to keep a base number for lower-end players, then I can make HQ versions of the stages for higher up people.

For the record, my specs:
1.72 Single core pentium
1gb Ram
Intel GMA 915

when im back from work i can give some numbers

some of the changes in the latest version we are basically turning the background.x into a level editor now, every mesh is exported to its own file then linked into the background scene with reference objects, this allows for duplicate objects without wasting loads of space and takes away a lot of the restrictions on animations so we can start playing about with more advanced character movements eventually

also starting to get event triggers linking to animation sequences, if you enable starpower you can see a basic implementation of this at the moment, certain meshes can be defined as sp objects with animation sequences to trigger when sp mode is detected

[cool29801]

I noticed that too, which is definitely awesome. If you guys are going to be as detailed to have character movements, I have that planned out, and would like to talk about it sooner or later. I also have all the GH2 characters fully ripped and in 3ds max, but only one of them is rigged. That'd be something to play with if you guys want to test animations, just let me know and I'll send it.

Might still have her rigged somewhere on my hard drive, along with the Grim Reaper.

Completely rigged, thanks to Acedia.
