EOF 1.8b12:

We do try to keep on the bleeding edge, it keeps things exciting.

This is great. I really like this version. Just and FYI it appears that the EOF link on the downloads page is the EOF Chords file. when I downloaded it it was nothing more but a notepad file.

Also I really think the feature to be able to import feedback charts directly into EOF is amazing. Feedback does not let you chart 5 lanes. But when I open up the chart file in notepad I can see that it might be possible to change the fret number on some of them and then import it into EOF. Now before you say I should just edit the chart in EOF for 5 lane drums just know that I am an expert with excel and could write a program to modify the chart file before importing it into EOF. So basically what I am asking is if there is any way to make EOF import a 5 lane chart file so that it recognizes it. I have allready tried fret numbers 5-30 and nothing comes up as that orange note. I know this is alot and kind of strange but I figured I would ask.

Thanks

I'm not sure how often it will be used, but I have added that functionality. You'll be able to import lane 5 drum notes, such as the following:

[ExpertDrums]
{
...
# = N 5 0
...
}

For some reason it still does not show the 6th note when I import the edited chart file. I have 5 lane drums enabled on EOF. Is there a different version of EOF that I need to use for this.

I seriously cannot wait for the next revision of EOF that has this capability. I took 3 days and created an excel spreadsheet that will convert the cymbals to to whichever lane for example if you use to have a chorus on the green pad for the cymbal and now you want it on the orange you can go into feedback mark all the sections you want to convert by holding 6. and then open the spreadsheet and select green to orange and then yellow to blue or whatever you want. It dosnt do ALL of the work for you. you would still need to play the chart in EOF and make small adjustments but it will convert only the sections you want. I am so so excited. Please let us know when the new EOF is available

Thanks again.

Thank You! Thank You!

this is so incredible. My spreadsheet works perfectly with this new version of EOF. I am so stoked to chart my songs with 5 lanes. I have waited for this ability for so so long. the picture attached shows all of the possiblities of 5 Lanes rather than just the 4. Thank You Again!!!

The only other thing that would make this better is if Phase Shift somehow showed which notes were cymbals and which were drums but with just the 5 lanes. I think it would be great to have that functionality. I am aware that rockband is allready rolling with that idea but Im not a huge fan of the huge 7 lane layout for PS. I know its easier so we dont have to make cymbal notes but it would be so worth it for PS and EOF to allow the charting and showing of all 5 lanes (EOF currently will not toggle orange notes) but show the cymbals notes as a different image similar to rock band.
