Brawl Custom Song Maker GUI v1.5! Bugfixes+Volume?

[Dantarion]

Did you fix the problem with it rehashing everything? This **** is ridiculous, 10 minute to open the GUI, I really hope you got that squared away.

10 minutes to open the GUI?
I guess the problems fixed, because I have 50 songs, and it takes 60 seconds to hash all the songs. Then, if I close the program, and open it again, it takes 0.14 seconds to check the hash cache and doesn't rehash ANY of the songs.

EDIT: Perhaps you have been running the program without the SD card in a lot? I just fixed a bug where it would overwrite the hash cache with nothing if you ran it without the sd card in and quit without putting it in.

Wait, I just realized - do songs have to have a 32KHz samplerate or not? I was under the impression that they had to...

This is something I am not sure of.
I have a couple of songs that seem to lag the game sometimes.
I am gonna defrag my sd card and see if that fixes it, but if now, I'm gonna try a 32KHz sample rate to see if that solves it.

 

[Dantarion]

Excellent, I am extremely excited for this. If you need help typing anything out, lmk.

I got a task for ya!
Could you make a readme.txt that includes information about the file replacement code, a link to get it, and a little blurb about all the features in the program? I already started writing one, but I feel like its missing stuff.

Nothing too fancy, no rush or or anything

 

[Wolfric]

For me..the bar where it says "Proccesing Song #1 of 1" is fully green, but it's passed about 10 minutes and the bar below "Preparing Source BRSTM¨has no process.

Could be your computer.
What's its stats?

Yeah, I can do that. Ill have it done by today.

So Ill have information about the File Patch code, what it essentially does, and how you can replace .brstm files by using this program. Then Ill give a quik tutorial of tthe program (if someone has trouble). Then, I will say what all of the features do. How many songs can be held in the BRSTM Library, and how many can be added to the Queue? That would help. And could you send be a pm or something that tells me the new features of the program?

And after the readme, I suggest that you create a change log, to show its progress over the versions. That is a job that Ill let you do.


(i have good typing skills, so this wont be to hard for me )

 

[Element91]

When I try to 'Convert to BRTSM' it just closes the whole program. What do I do?

 

[cookieM0Nster]

When I try to 'Convert to BRTSM' it just closes the whole program. What do I do?

do you have Net Framework 3.5?

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Here is the readme.txt. It essentially contains everything, but it needs to be edited after each version. Dantarion, I did everything that I knew about the program. There is some space for places such as the v1.5 change log of the program, and the features (with each new version comes more features. I wil highlight in red where you need to fill the rest out, Dantarion.


CLICK ON ME FOR THE README.TXT! USE THIS ONE!!!


Here is the readme. get the .txt file from the download (above), as it is in the proper format.

Here is the readme, with links added and stuff. DONT USE THIS, i will say it again. USE THE ONE FROM THE MEDIAFIRE LINK!

INTRO AND FILE PATCH CODE

As you may know, Phantom Wings has created a code (shown below) that lets us add our own custom music into the game!
This is the File Pach Code (version 3.5.1). When loaded, this song succesfully streams music (this is the way that Brawl
loads music) from the SD card to the disc. This code also loads textures that are in the proper directories in the SD card,so
thare is no need for the out-of-date File Replacement code!

Here is Phantom Wings' creation:

Keep in mind that this is the current version of the code, and it will be updated, as it is not finished. Please wait a few
seconds on the Character Select Screen, the Stage Select Sceen, and the Results Screen in order to prevent freezing
(this only applies if you have a lot of textures in addition to music). To find the updated version of this code,
check here frequently: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=225642

---------------------------------------

COMPREHENSIVE CHANGE LOG

v1.5 - Brawl Custom Song Maker GUI (Current Version):

- Dantarion, you add the rest

v1.4 - Brawl Custom Song Maker GUI: http://blog.dantarion.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=4

- Mono File Support
- Ogg/Wav/FLAC Support
- FIX: Untagged but found brstms now appear as the filename, not “Unknown – Unknown”

v1.3 - Brawl Custom Song Maker GUI: http://blog.dantarion.com/wp-content/plugins/download-monitor/download.php?id=3

- Loop Support. You have to find the sample numbers outside of BCSM-GUI, but you can input the sample numbers when adding
files to your brstm library
- Logging….well, sorta. The add window now has a pseudo log of the brstm creation process, and attempts to correct errors.
- Fixed Bug where right clicking on a row header caused a crash
- Fixed Bug where certain path names caused the program to fail. Now the MP3’s are automatically copied to the tmp directory before processing begins.
- Added Hash Cache. Increased startup speed 10x with many songs on SD card.
- Highlights library songs not on SD, and highlight SD songs not in library

- You can now edit artist and title information in your library by clicking on a song
- You can now play brstms from your SD or Library by right clicking them
- You can rehash files in your library by right clicking them. There was a bug where adding a song twice kept the hash from the first add, if you have files on your SD card that show as “Unknown” even though you know the file is in your library already, give it a shot.
- You can now click Export to copy a formatted list of songs on your SD to the clipboard
- FIX: Fixed bug with certain filenames and ID3 tags
- FIX: Fixed bug where replacing a song with a different one didn’t update the song name

CREDITS

Thanks to:

Dantarion, for writing the GUI app.
BionicSonic for creating the original tool.
Androu1 for creating his tool, which was what this GUI program was based on.
cookieM0Nster for doing work on songs.txt and readme.txt.
Phantom Wings for creating the File Patch code, enabling custom music in Brawl.

 

[Dantarion]

thanks! imma edit that info into the first post when I wake up

 

[cookieM0Nster]

thanks! imma edit that info into the first post when I wake up

sounds excellent. once again, anything u need, lmk.

 

[Dantarion]

Also, I found out today about the gain setting in the header of brstm files.
I'm gonna start testing of it tomorrow, and then add the ability to change the gain on a file if it indeed solves the volume issue.
Tomorrow I WILL release 1.5, as a celebration of 1,000 downloads, and, because I fixed the rehashing bug which was causing lots of people pain. Also, I have 70 custom songs

 

[cookieM0Nster]

Could you let us change the display name in 1.5? Please?
and that sounds good.

 

[Dantarion]

That features already in.
The Artist/Title column and the Display Name column are now one and the same.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

That features already in.
The Artist/Title column and the Display Name column are now one and the same.

Oh, alright, excellent.

And you need to update the about thing, I did more work

and you whould add Phantom Wings in, its cuz of him that music hacking is so easy and amazing

 

[Dantarion]

Turns out I'm gonna be out of town most of today, and babysitting once I get back

 

[DeadX]

That features already in.
The Artist/Title column and the Display Name column are now one and the same.

meaning you have to move to SD with your tool to change the title? for example, if i put some music directly on to my SD card and it says display name unknown, do i have to put it on your tool to change the display name?

 

[Dantarion]

You can now edit the names on BOTH sides of the GUI, so you don't even need to use my app to convert your brstrms with my tool or even use my tool at all to take advantage of the songs.db export

 

[MURDR]

hey i have a question.
how do you fix the name of the songs from "unknown" to actually display the of name of the new song you want to convert from a original stage song?
if you could get back to me asap that would be great. and is the new version out where the volume is fixed?

 

[sallas09]

What exactly is the .Net Framework 3.5 program? I cant get your song maker to work, so I tried downloading the other thing, but when it tries to connect to a server to install everything, it just doesn't, then it just stops altogether. Any idea of what a problem could be?

 

[Dantarion]

the .NET Framework is microsofts giant library of code for use in developing programs.
It helps speed up the development of programs by providing bits and pieces that are commonly used

I don't know why the installer doesn't seem to work for certain people.

@MURDR
The volume can't just be 'fixed' everyones mp3's have different volume levels, even though SoX tries to normalize the mp3's they still don't come out at the same volume.

 

[sallas09]

Could it have anything to do with the fact that I have a Vista computer?

 

[Wander]

Just reporting in to say that I've been using this for the last two days and it works fine for me. No problems installing, booting, or running, and I'm using Vista.

 

[sallas09]

Hmm...weird. Maybe it s aproblem on THEIR end?

 

[cookieM0Nster]

When will the version 1.5 be released? i wanna try this out bad.

and Dantaron, did u edit the readme? I hope everything that i wrote was enough to be added to the readme.

 

[Dantarion]

You did a great job, I'm just overwhelmed with real-life BS right now
Sorry everyone

 

[ViolentMarth]

I'm sorry to hear that Dantarion.

I found a solution for the volume problems that everyone is having: Mp3Gain

It works great. You should post a link to it in the OP.

 

[cookieM0Nster]

You did a great job, I'm just overwhelmed with real-life BS right now
Sorry everyone

thanks, and thats too bad. Well, take any time that you want. We wont mind.

and that mp3 gain looks interesting. ill check it out.

 

[DeadX]

just a quick question: if i change the name of one of my BRSTMs through your tool, (for example i change it from one-winged angel.brstm to X04.brstm) and then i manually change the song name from the root of the SD card (say X04.brstm to W31.brstm) will it cause freezing in the middle of the song? 5ive requested some songs and he gets freezing, but i don't. i don't think this is what is happening, but i thought i might ask.

 

[XSilvenX]

Runs fine for me but when I change the name or "move" about 3 songs it will give me this error ...

Replace as the title of the window

Inside text : Unhandled exception has occured in your application. If you click Continue, the applications will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click Quit, the application will close immediately.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.





And lastly, choosing "Continue" will not work, it will just popup again and again. Choosing "Quit" will eventually close the application after a few tries

I'm on Windows 7 Release Candidate, so that might be the issue but I doubt it since they wouldn't make .Net framework buggy with Windows 7. But then again it's Microsoft and you never know...

 

[Roy-G-Biv]

Try doing 1 song at a time.
That might help.

 

[XSilvenX]

Try doing 1 song at a time.
That might help.

Ummm I don't think you understand, you can only move one song at a time in the program anyway. I'm talking about renaming the songs which is called "Move" in the program. The one with the curved arrow. After I "Move" 3 files it will just give me the error that I mentioned earlier. It's not a big issue since I just reopen the program but I imagine it can get quite annoying if you're renaming a lot of files on your SD...




Also a Pause, Stop, Play button would work wonders for this thing..no way to really stop the music once you preview it.

 

[Dantarion]

and that mp3 gain looks interesting. ill check it out.

I don't advise reencoding mp3's just to increase volume. mp3 = lossy compression

will it cause freezing in the middle of the song? 5ive requested some songs and he gets freezing, but i don't. i don't think this is what is happening, but i thought i might ask.

No, it shouldn't. All my program does is rename the files for you. The one thing that can cause freezing when a song loads is invalid characters in a song title in info.pac

Ummm I don't think you understand, you can only move one song at a time in the program anyway. I'm talking about renaming the songs which is called "Move" in the program. The one with the curved arrow. After I "Move" 3 files it will just give me the error that I mentioned earlier. It's not a big issue since I just reopen the program but I imagine it can get quite annoying if you're renaming a lot of files on your SD...
Also a Pause, Stop, Play button would work wonders for this thing..no way to really stop the music once you preview it.

STOP BUTTON IS IN 1.5 OK EVERYONE ****
Also, I have no idea whats causing that error, are you replacing songs already on your SD with the move command?

I don't advise reencoding mp3's just to increase volume. mp3 = lossy compression

Yes I am, I had a bunch of .brstm's that were fitted for a custom music setup but I recently defaulted my music (wanted them to work on other Wii's) so I wanted to rename them quickly and efficiently. I was gonna do it manually but as you can imagine it's a huge pain so I tried to use this. I guess this program isn't intended for renaming them huh? I wonder what will happen when people wanna change around their songs though?

ok thanks dantarion, i didn't think it was your program anyway.

and i have the same problem as XsilvenX. it's really frustrating. everything else works fine, except for one time i put songs in the library. it gave me the same error. i put some in my game and came back and the library worked. it was really weird.

EDIT: i also tried to convert through the fire and flames to brstm with your tool. it converts, but then stops at finalizing brstm. the weird thing is, the brstm is there when i close it. i wasn't sure if it would work in game, so i had to use androu1's master version. why does the tool stop? and will the brstm work in game?

I think its a bug for when you move a file on your SD ON TOP of another song already on your SD using the program.

I have yet to do that, so there might be some problem with doing that I didn't think about.
(I dont think I check to see if the song you are moving one to is already there when you move from SD->SD)

I wonder if the people with speed/freezing issues just have below par computers or something. I got a really nice gaming computer recently and the program works really fast, I've never had any problems besides it crashing when I do certain things.

Anyways, this program is GODLY to me and I can't wait for 1.5 to come out.

 

[Dantarion]

I don't know what it is, but there is some kind of issue on a few peoples computers with the way I access command line apps from C#.

 

[TrainerAbu]

So is 1.5 coming out today 8)))?

 

[cookieM0Nster]

[Dantarion]

1.5 should be out today, but then again, I said that yesterday.
I'm really busy due to real life stuff right now
