Somewhat.

If you plan on playing single player in Training, yes.

If you plan on playing single or multiplayer in normal modes, no.

We can't parse the videos and music quite right yet to play.

Actually, I have a full blown working custom that can play all 4 parts at once - it just doens't match up with the video (it uses the "say it aint so" video).

well im pretty sure your wouldnt be able to sync it with the backround, since it actually is a video, but IMO, it shouldnt matter much.

yes, customs are fully possible at this point. they're not complete nor the greatest, but they work. there's still more to mess around with for OD, but using GameZelda's PSSInject and another tool called RockLib (on the other side of scorehero) it's possible to create a VGS file with the correct sample rate and channels and then insert this audio into the PSS movies. if you throw in a custom mid (converted from chart works quite nicely, use a midi editor for vocals) then you've got yourself a working custom.

there are a few threads to look through: the customization one, and the midi file format one (if you want to add vocals)

there's no guide yet because it's still kinda shifty, but it works.

some one has to make a guide for songs, guitar atleast. ive looked through the threads, and picking out peices of info from them isnt going to help me, or others who dont know anything about rock band customization

yeah, again, someone will make a guide (and i'm sure it'll become a sticky) as soon as some things are hammered out. there's a lot that we don't know yet.

here is the gist of it though if you REALLY want to give it a try.

first, make your chart in feedback. any instrument (not vocals), and use leff's chart2mid2chart to convert to mid. if you chart drums, there is an event that needs to be placed to tell the game when the freestyle section stops (i don't know what this event is, but obviously billyblaze discovered it).

second, use rocklib [http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=61450&highlight=rocklib] to create a vgs audio file.
you must add 2.9 seconds of silence to your audio file in order to make the fretboard line up with the music. this is in addition to any offset you would normally have to account for.

for best results with least effort involved, use this command:

I actually didn't put in any special event in the 'PART DRUMS' track, but I do have a [music_start] event in the 'EVENTS' track, I think that might be what ends the free fill section at the start

hmm interesting that's quite possible. that's actually what i was thinking, but when i was playing last night i noticed there are a lot of songs where the guitar comes in way before the drums (lots of free time), and in GH2 [music_start] was for when the crowd had to shut up. i don't know, i just thought (for no reason) that there would be another event.

but since yours works, i guess that's probably it.

so you're saying i need to use a song in the game that is almost as long or a little longer than the song im going to use as my custom?

When it comes to creating a full custom song, I may have noticed a small problem.

I created the note charts for guitar, bass, and drums in dB and converted to a mid with Leff's tool while i created the vocals using the krmaker described in another section of the forum. Both of these were made using the same mp3 file. Upon combination in Anvil, It appears (from the sounds), that they are not matching up. Maybe even though it sounds like its not synced, it actually is. I'll have to try burning a disc to see what happens.

Has anybody else tried this method or had the same difficulties?

is it ok if i were to just inject a guitar chart, or do i have to make bass, vocals, and drums?
