A program to automatically check for various issues in rips for Clone Hero.
If you're not converting songs from games like Guitar Hero and Rock Band for use in Clone Hero, this is probably not of any interest to you. This project is specifically to aid in that effort.
Current checks include:
- Make sure the .mid resolution is 480
- Check for chord snapping problems
- Check for disjoint chords
- Check for unknown notes (disabled by default)
- Check for overlapping notes of the same color
- On vocals, check for misaligned lyrics/notes and notes outside of phrases
More may be added over time.
Grab the executable from the Releases page.
Specify a directory and RipCheck will recursively go through every .mid file contained within:
RipCheck.exe "D:/RB conversions/"You can specify parameters before the path to enable/disable specific checks, like so:
RipCheck.exe -n -a "D:/RB conversions/"All warnings will be printed to the console. It is advised to redirect the output to a file:
RipCheck.exe -n -a "D:/RB conversions/" > warnings.txtThe options are as follows:
