3 simultaneous notes, GH lanes and lanes colors

[ashin]

Hello,

I just discovered this program and am loving it so far.
After some configuration, it's working almost perfectly, but I've got a couple questions I didn't find an answer to.

First, I'm playing the drum GHWT career from bluzer and sometimes, there are three simultaneous notes popping up, like red/yellow/green. It's probably feasible on keyboard, but not being an octopus, quite complicated on e-drums.
I don't remember missing an extra limb when I played it on console, so what am I missing ? Did I configure something wrong ? Are those just random mistakes when converting for phase shift ? Should I worry ?

Secondly, I have no problem quick-playing those songs with 4,5 or 7 lanes, but when playing career, it's stuck to 4 lanes, even though GH was 5 by default. I tried to look into the career's ini to fix that, but to no avail. Is there a way to force more lanes in career mode?

Finally, is there any way to change cymbal's colors when playing 7 lanes ? Having both cymbals and toms blue and green, makes it difficult to read on the fly. Since there's orange added when going from 4 to 5, I thought there would be other colors added for 7, maybe like light blue and purple ? Is it configurable somewhere ?

Thanks a lot !

Show us a screenshot of that, time in song, and what artist/song. A red/yellow/green on drums should not happen unless a conversion error happened. We did use a lot of automated tools to get things going, and when I was doing conversions with Blu, we were not really well known for quality control for charts (we mainly focused on audio).

Change your PS profile settings to default to 5-lane drums.

There's not an .ini thing to do about that, however if you're feeling brave you can edit the gem models to create different colors.

Thanks for your answers !

I was finally able to reproduce the triple note problem, but it's not easy because it's not systematic. Meaning if I see it, pause, go back 10 seconds and play again, it's not there anymore. I had to go back 30 sec and actually play, and be ready to pause on my controller. It happened to me on Band on the Run, 4:25.



Concerning the 4 lanes, I couldn't make it work. I noticed Rock Band had a folder "Drums_adv", so I copied the "Drums" from GHWT and renamed the copy to match, and now I can select Drum advanced when I create a career, but it's now 7 lanes (which is even better ^^) but still can't play 5 lanes with drums. With keyboard it works, but not with drums or joypad, same career.

And finally, for the notes colors, I backed-up and edited the notes png and shifted colors, works like a charm

Thanks again for your help !

Ah! That third note that occupies the green cymbal lane activates Phase Shift (Starpower in GH/Overdrive in RB). Just hit the bigger, white glowing note to double your multiplier for a short while. You can ignore it if you want.


As for drum lane count, that is under YOUR user profile settings. You can also modify the [playername].dat file to adjust this setting under ~\Phase Shift\profiles.

Thanks again for your help !
I figured out that the glowing was Phase Shift, but still get confused when there's three notes XD I'll get used to it!

I'm playing seven lanes now, so it's fine, but you're certainly right, the legacy drum option is not one I remember changing.

Can't thank you enough, you've been extremely helpful
