*Downloads* :P

Sally

im good at guitar hero, ill check this out, and do u strum it or do you just click it?

G_G


Aqua

Well, since you don't strum, wouldn't this be a better SM system? :V?

Mmm... also, from what I read, it seems like the game only supports 1 song.

I played the demo, and the notes didn't always seem to register as being struck.  I'm 95% sure I hit them at the supposed right time...

Also... *pokes the grammar mistakes in thread*
:o

G_G

Well I did discover you have to press it right before it matches. But who put house there because I didnt?

Tazero

The only prob i see with it from the screeny it's a bass fret board xD
Serious bass have 4 strings while guitars have 6


If you were a fish...

Landith

Yeah, I chose that one because he is only using 4 keys to play it. So unless he adds 2 more keys, it stays at a bass.

Aqua

The keys don't match up though... :O

Landith

Yeah, but oh well, that would be due to RMXP's gay 32x32 grid.

I could try to find one or make one that is 32 pixels away from each string, but I would have to make one because the guitar's aren't like that...
I might make one for game_guy later though...

But this event system isn't about the background image, it's about playing a guitar hero on RMXP... >.>

G_G

Landith is correct. And it would be easy to include more than one song. Just copy the map, paste it....Nevermind. Its going to take a small bit of eventing to include a song selections, and to have multiple songs. In fact I'll include another demo with a song selection, a better fret board maybe, more songs to make it event better.

Sally

just give it a highway like guitar hero, and guitar hero only has 5 buttons, so asdf they keys he uses are just notes that you play... so is the 5in guitar hero for guitar and bass.

G_G

Okay I've decided to go all out and make a guitar hero starter kit. Complete witha few custom scripts and whatnot.

okay hopefully the starter kit will be released sometime tomorrow. Hopefully. Anyways I am addinga new feature that I didnt plany on. I am going to add the fail option. If a certain variable reaches 0 than you fail the song :( I am also going to try to implement a mutliplier.

Diokatsu

Interesting, interesting. I like how this is starting off, but it seems like it has bugs. I'm missing notes, too, and I'm damn sure I hit them. :\ I'm almost 100% sure actually XD. Great job though G_G and I'll power you up anyhow. I'd be glad to make songs for people once this gets all in order. XD

Thanks dio. Anyways umm yea press teh note right before it reaches it if that makes sense. its as accurate as can be but I can try to make it better. I also added a successful difficulty selector. Also I will update screenies tomorrow and this is waht I added. A stage with a crowd watching Arshes rocking out on the guitar, Basil singing to the song, and Dorothy bashing some drums xD non animated xD.

By tomorrow it will be done! Hopefully. :/

EDIT I love this -----> G_G xD

Diokatsu

I'm wondering if you might try and script this. You already have an open source Guitar Hero emulator to look at called Frets on Fire. Also, Stepmania is a great little game to look at. Both are open source.

G_G

Well with my scripting knowledge and some spare time scripting this would be a complete failure :V:

Serious I suck at scripting and can just script basic windows, some snippets, and menus is all :P

But I just added the Career manager, a song selector, and just about done with the failure thingy

Diokatsu

Well, it's good to see progress! =D I'll look into scripting it myself, btw.
