Notes:Guitar Hero

From The Cutting Room Floor
Jump to navigation Jump to search

This page contains notes for the game Guitar Hero.

All information found in .dtb files presented in detokenized .dta format (equivalent to the custom scripting language used to develop the game). Paths are relative to the root of the ARK file contents, as extracted by ARK Expander (link forthcoming). I'm working with the US retail release, SLUS-21224. Your mileage may vary using any other region. Huge dump ahead.

Found in /config/gen/beatmatch_controller.dtb, I'm pretty sure the "egozy" layout is leftover from the early days when the frets were colored ROYGB:

(joypad (slots
		kPad_L2
		0
		kPad_L1
		1
		kPad_R1
		2
		kPad_R2
		3
		kPad_X
		4))
(lefty_joypad (slots
		kPad_X
		0
		kPad_R2
		1
		kPad_R1
		2
		kPad_L1
		3
		kPad_L2
		4))
(guitar (slots
		kPad_R2
		0
		kPad_Circle
		1
		kPad_Tri
		2
		kPad_X
		3
		kPad_Square
		4))
(egozy (slots
		kPad_R2
		0
		kPad_R1
		1
		kPad_Tri
		2
		kPad_Square
		3
		kPad_X
		4))}


Found in /config/gen/cheats.dtb, this is part of the debugging interface. I have yet to find a way to reenable it on the retail game or any of the demos, I believe there is a necessary .IRX driver that we don't have a copy of.

Found in /config/gen/gh.dtb, this is where I found out we needed more files (possibly HMX-specific) for debug mode (also notice the reference to mtapman being set to FALSE on the shipping version):

(system
	(script 
#include system_script.dta
)
	(language (force eng))
	(iop_modules
		(iop/scrtchpd.irx)

Same file, there's also a bit more mention of on-screen debug meters, if I'm reading the scripting right:

Sole contents of /config/gen/gh_version.dtb, so we know the US version was built September 17, 2005 for release on November 1:

"Build: 050917_E"

Juicy dev info, reference to something called "ghedit" which I'm guessing probably ran on a PS2 TOOL, either on the PS2 but communicating with a companion program on the PC side, or directly on the PC side and interfacing with the game engine itself. As best as I can tell, this tool is nowhere on the retail disc but would likely be present in any development build of the game. First, from /config/gen/ghedit.dtb:

(rndedit
	(title GHEdit)
	(extension gh)
	(target "ghedit_tool_%c.elf")
	(prog_id GHEdit.File)
	(max_paths
		(HMX_SYSTEM_RUN "%s/../../system/run")
		(HMX_SYSTEM_MAX "%s/../../system/tool/max")))
(namespaces (ghui
		2500
		20000))
(ghui 
#merge ../ghui/config.dta
)

#merge ../../../system/run/config/rndedit.dta

Also, from /config/gen/ghedit_tool.dtb:

(namespaces (ghui
		2500
		20000))
(ghui 
#merge ../ghui/config.dta
)

#merge ../../../system/run/config/rndedit_tool.dta

Found in /config/gen/mc.dtb, editing these settings along with hexediting the main ELF file can be used to change the display name and disc ID for savefile purposes, allowing multiple saves to be used with different custom discs instead of other discs clobbering all the high scores:

(base_dir "BASLUS-21224")
(elf_name "SLUS_212.24")

Found in /config/gen/mem.dtb, this points to the possibility that at one time, they had planned for a PC version as well as the known initial discussions with MadCatz regarding controllers for a potential original Xbox version of the game (although this one isn't explicitly listed here, there is a fall through which I think is meant for it):

(heaps
	
#ifdef HX_EE
	(main (size 20500000))
	(rnd
		(size 5500000)
		(handle TRUE))
	
#else 
	
#ifdef HX_PC
	(main (size 50000000))
	
#else 
	(main (size 26000000))

Excerpt from /config/gen/scoring.dtb, all floats within 0.00<=x<=1.00 are percentages. Notice "recharge_rate 0.00" under star_power, this is the percentage of the star power bar to automatically gain per measure. Never used in game (and AFAIK, I think it still exists even nowadays in the RB3 engine). Also including star rating thresholds, as you may know there is no one- or two-star:

(star_power
	(recharge_rate 0.00)
	(deploy_rate 0.12)
	(star_phrase 0.25)
	(whammy_rate 0.03)
	(ready_level 0.50)
	(multiplier 2)
	(crowd_boost 6)
	(min_length 2.00)
	(whammy_speed 0.05)
	(whammy_timeout 0.50))
(star_ratings
	(thresholds
		(kDifficultyEasy
			2.00
			3.00)
		(kDifficultyMedium
			2.00
			3.00)
		(kDifficultyHard

			5_star)))

Not much interesting in GH1's /config/gen/songs.dtb. The cool and juicy stuff is when I get to the GH2 demos and retail build. Here, the tutorial songs do have names and artists (as would be displayed on screen normally) but they're never used, here's an example:

(tutorial102
	(name "Basic 2 Playing Notes")
	(artist "You")

As an aside, here is part of my personal addition to GH1's songs.dtb to add the two "secret" songs (there are other files that need to be edited as well):

(advharmony
	(name "Trippolette")
	(artist "Andrew Buch")
	(song
		(name songs/advharmony/advharmony)
		(tracks 1)
		(slip_tracks ((2 3)))
		(pans (-1.00
				1.00
				-1.00
				1.00))
		(vols (0.80
				0.80
				0.90
				0.90))
		(cores (-1
				-1
				1
				1))
		(solo (riffs standard)))
	(bank sfx/song_default)
	(bpm 120)
	(anim_tempo kTempoFast)
	(preview
		9845
		44150)
	(midi_file songs/advharmony/advharmony.mid)
	(quickplay
		(character nu_metal)
		(guitar gibson_flying_v)
		(venue fest)))


(graveyardshift
	(name "Graveyard Shift")
	(artist "Unknown")
	(song
		(name songs/graveyardshift/graveyardshift)
		(tracks 1)
		(slip_tracks ((2 3)))
		(pans (-1.00
				1.00
				-1.00
				1.00))
		(vols (0.80
				0.80
				0.90
				0.90))
		(cores (-1
				-1
				1
				1))
		(solo (riffs standard)))
	(bank sfx/song_default)
	(bpm 120)
	(anim_tempo kTempoFast)
	(preview

	(midi_file songs/graveyardshift/graveyardshift.mid)
	(quickplay
		(character nu_metal)
		(guitar gibson_flying_v)
		(venue fest)))

Similarly, here's the song section of /config/gen/store.dtb, as modified by me to add *Trip and GS to the in the store, making them "buyable" (but making them cost $0 so it doesn't mess up the rest of the store with the total money you get if you 5* everything):

(song
	(fireitup (price 300))
	(cheatonthechurch (price 300))
	(cavemanrejoice (price 300))
	(eureka (price 300))
	(allofthis (price 250))
	(behindthemask (price 250))
	(breakingwheel (price 250))
	(callout (price 250))
	(decontrol (price 250))
	(evenrats (price 250))
	(farewellmyth (price 250))
	(flyonthewall (price 250))
	(getready2rokk (price 250))
	(guitarhero (price 250))
	(hey (price 250))
	(sailyourshipby (price 250))
	(storyofmylove (price 250))
	(advharmony (price 0))
	(graveyardshift (price 0)))

Found in /config/gen/track_graphics.dtb, are settings pertaining to the visual appearance of the fretboard, including scroll speed (called "track_speed", with 1.0 being equivalent to normal Easy scroll speed and 2.1 equivalent to GH2 Hard/Expert with Hyperspeed enabled). Most of these values I have not modified, although they should modify the angle, position, and rate of fade at the entry point in the distance. Also notice that HMX can't spell for shit - "dual_perspecitve":

(gem
	(fps 30)
	(mat_formats
		(gem gem_%s)
		(tail tail_%s)
		(tail_glow tail_glow_%s)
		(star gem_starpower_%s)

	(tail_glow_width 1.50)
	(tail_glow_tight_width 0.70)
	(sparkle_len 1000))
(track_width 20)
(horizon_y 110)
(remove_y -10)
(track_speed

	(dual_perspecitve (track_scale

	(use_dual_perspective TRUE))
(fade
	(multi
		((x 128)

		((x 384)

	(normal
		(x 256)
		(y 216)))

In GH2 there's a file called /config/gen/modes.dtb that stores default settings for attract mode (which is actually the game autoplaying the chart with the equivalent of performance mode enabled), quickplay, career, practice, and multiplayer. I don't know where these settings are stored in GH1, however.

Nothing really interesting in GH1's /ui/gen/ folder, although when I cover the GH2 demos we'll see more in there as far as re-enabling locked away menus.

That's all for tonight, tomorrow I'll go through and dig out some interesting imagery. LocalH 03:55, 11 August 2011 (EDT)
