"Song.ini Error"

[deltav]

Having some trouble with the song titles in my game. I'm importing my own charts and for some reason the song.ini files are not working. Every song is just named "Song.ini Error", and it seems no matter what I do, no matter what parameters I change in the file, it just won't work. I've even tried using the .ini from a song that has a working title, and just changing some of the tags, but it still won't work. Note that my songs still work and I can play them, I just can't have the titles listed. I have the RB3 and GH: Metallica themes installed.

Thank you in advance for any help.

I believe the encoding method is wrong...probably. That's usually the case.

This is what mine are encoded in...If thats not the case i suppose you could just post it(the song.ini) here because its only a txt file.

I'll have to try that and let you know. What program are you using in that screenshot?

EDIT: Figured it out. I needed to change the encoding to ANSI. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Good stuff!

i had this problem before. i was using windows notepad to create my song.ini files. it uses the wrong text encoding to write text files that phase shift can understand.

i switched to what bluzer is using. it's called notepad++

notepad-plus-plus.org/

i don't remember what the correct format is because i have not did it in over a year, but it will encode text files in the format you want. you have to manually set it. i don't think it is default. like bluzers is showing in the screenshot.

I solved this problem for GHWOR archive by changing the first line [Song] to [song] . Phase Shift is sensitive to the S not being capital.
Using tcsh and sed

foreach i ( */song.ini )
foreach? sed -i -r 's/\[Song\]/\[song\]/' "$i"
foreach? end
