[size=7] Hello and welcome to the Guitar Warriors: Shredders of The Three Kingdoms[/size][size=7] discussion thread! So, have a question or a comment? By all means let us know what you have to say about Guitar Warriors.[/size]

Here's The Official GW site: http://www.freewebs.com/nragemachine/guitarwarriorsforum.htm

It's my first attemt at a website, but I hope to see you guys there and hear about your experience playing Guitar Warriors when it is released.
Here is a quick demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-bD3t_3fdg
Look up my channel (Nragemachine) to find all the latest video updates!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q&A

[size=7]1. So what is Guitar Warriors?[/size]
It is a game patch for Guitar Hero: Rock The 80's that will replace game images, menu screens and all the songs with Dynasty Warriors content!

[size=7]2. So what do I need in order to play Guitar Warriors?[/size]
> A computer with a dvd burner

> A properly modded PS2 that can play burned DVD's or Swap Magic
http://www.swapmagic3.com/

> Nero or some other ISO Burning Software

[size=7]3. What game system will this be for?[/size]
This will be for PS2 only. It is the easiest system to mod and most people have one.

[size=7]4. Okay, so what songs will be playable in Guitar Warriors?[/size]
This is the songlist so far:
Songs in playlist and tier placements are subject to change
So this is how the final list shall be arranged at this time:
Finalizer
May 12 2008, 01:20 PM


Finally, I've looked over the setlist, and personally I like it like this:

1. Wage War

Arena
Smileless
Sacred Ground
The Elegy of the Battle
Men of Intelligence

2. Aural Assault

Killing Time
In Full Bloom
Ultimate Pressure
Dark Angel
Struggle For Existence

3. Shu Shredders

Opening Theme
Look Back on Your Way
Dance Macabre
Avenging Battle
Theme of Lu Bu Fire Mix

4. Riffs of Wu

Parade of Death
Eve
The Verge of Despair
Straight Ahead
Slash the Demon

5. Axe of Wei

Fireball
Limit of Ability
Superior
Irritation
Bloodshed to Repeat


6. True Musou

The Most Dangerous Way
Here We Go!
My Bad Fellow
Oriental Rush
Magnificent Show

Thoughts:

-Move "The Elegy of the Battle" down to 1st tier because there's nothing particuarly hard about it, maybe the chords, but that's it.
-Put "Struggle For Existence" in 2nd tier, possibly as encore (Either Struggle for Existence or Dark Angel make a good encore, both are pretty epic)
-Put "Fireball" back in the 5th tier; Fireball is essentially a faster Eve with a solo, so having both songs in the same tier makes no sense
-Put "Straight Ahead" in the 4th tier; HO/POs are consistent and slow, song isn't particuarly hard for 5th tier
-Swapped "Bloodshed to Repeat" with "Superior" as 5th tier encore; Superior is too short to be an encore, and the main riff & solo in Bloodshed are almost 6th tier material. (I'd almost consider swapping Oriental Rush with Bloodshed to Repeat, but Oriental has a nice level of difficulty throughout the entire song that Bloodshed lacks)
-Still not sure what the final encore will be, either "My Bad Fellow" or "Magnificent Fellow". "The Most Dangerous Way" & "Here We Go!" are too short, "Oriental Rush" lacks difficulty in solo, "Magnificent Show" is the likely candidate.



Songs in playlist and tier placements are subject to change

[size=7]5. I'm not exactly an expert at Guitar Hero. Will this be available on all difficulties?[/size]
If you look you will see that each song in the songlist has parentheses that say (EMHX Co-op). E stands for easy, M for medium, H for hard, and E for expert. If the letter is red, that means that that difficulty hasn't been made yet. If it is blue it is done.
So, in short, I plan to have all difficulties available in the download. All will be able to enjoy, no matter what skill level. Plus, all songs will have Co-op so you can play with a friend.

[size=7]6. When will this be made available?[/size]
NOW!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to reach out to the Dynasty Warriors community and would like to know what you would like to see in a Dynasty Warriors based Guitar Hero.

And Please ask questions. There is alot you need to know to properly modify Guitar Hero.

So, earlier I was surprised to find a post here about guitar warriors and saw that many people were interested in the idea. The fact of the matter is that Finalizer and I are actually making Guitar Warriors: Shredders of The 3 Kingdoms. This will be a downloadable patch for Rock The 80's. I have already created new screens, and will be replacing all of the
songs.  Soon I will be replacing the opening video with one I created myself. I even recorded my own version of the Theme Of Lubu which is featured in the opening video.

I came across this site looking for the DW6 soundtrack to add some of those songs in the game.

Here is a quick demo: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-bD3t_3fdg

Look up my channel (Nragemachine) to find all the latest video updates! I hope to have this project ready for download before the end of May.

Here is a link to the Guitar Warriors thread. http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57525

Any comments and ideas are welcome.

I have just about finished selecting what songs will be in it, but haven't finished creating them all. What song would you like to see a video of?

So you were the one who did those videos that I posted a while ago!! Thanks for posting and doing all those also I'm glad that you joined KW community, thanks and I must say this is very nice!!

http://www.youtube.com/user/Nragemachine FTW!


EDIT: I merged your posts anyway (you can use EDIT button ^^), don't know if you'll be doing SW or Warriors Orochi music or not, thanks for everything!!!

Thanks Insp. Chin! I really want some input from the Dynasty Warriors community. BTW, I don't want to take credit for the Avenging Battle video. That was from my partner in this venture, Finalizer. So far that is all he has contributed, but he said he'd help out as soon as he's done with his current project.

As for SW or Orochi songs, not many of them are really guitar-based, so this is strictly Dynasty Warriors. The songs we are using span from DW2 to DW6. Plenty of great material. :)

If so then yeah we'll just keep this on DW section and we'll just stick on the DW tracks. I'll announce this to the site front page as this is really unique and awesome - we should let more people know about this - hope you get more fans soon as I'm one of them already lol!

Not sure if you have DWBB or DW Online OST if you don't have you can download by click the GAME OSTS banner (2nd one) as I have a request :)

Dynasty Warriors Online / BB - Steal A March (Basically it's a remix version of DW3's Arena)

and Dynasty Warriors 6 - Welcome To China


Remember, don't do it if you're busy. I'll announce it to the front page if you get too many requests and you're not able to do some of them you can just skip it :) Thanks for everything!!!




EDIT:
I think this may not be DW related (I mean the section) but if you don't mind, or do you think it's better to move it to our PROJECTS section?

Well, I'm not really taking song requests. The songlist is pretty much done. If you look at the link in my original post it has all the info on what's done and what will be in the game, including the complete songlist. I'm sorry if I was unclear on that, what I meant was, out of the songs that are on the playlist, which do you want to see a video for?
The songs in the playlists that have links are done. I can also make custom fretboards and guitars featuring your favorite warriors upon request.

As for moving this, do whatever you think would be most appropriate.

I'll take requests for custom guitars and fretboards featuring your favorite characters. If you watch the verge of despair video and look closely you can see that the flying v guitar has a picture of Ma Chao on it. Stuff like that. And what I mean by custom fretboards is the track that is on the screen where the notes are. Like in the videos you can see one custom fretboard I made with Lubu on it. I'll take any other kinds of suggestions and also questions. Questions will be very important because there is alot you need to know about this project if you want to successfully modify Guitar Hero.

This is so awesome dude. I would love to see Gan Ning in there on a special track. These aren't requests or anything, but in my opinion I think these would be awesome tracks to assign characters to. Specially since these are the best tracks for insane guitar riffs.

Straight Ahead = Zhou Tai/ Sun Ce / Zhou Yu
Wall of Fate = Ma Chao
In Full Bloom = Diao Chan
Over The Blue Dragon = Zhang Liao/Zhao Yun
Hurry Up/Gain Ground = Gan Ning
Cry For Wind = Zhuge Liang

I'm not sure what you mean by assigning characters. Have you played guitar hero before? I just don't understand what you're getting at, but as for the songs the songlist is pretty much complete. The blank spots I left for Finalizer to fill.

Ah, yes. In Rock The 80's (the game this patch will modify) there are 6 characters. Each character has his/her own fretboard. That's how that works. If there is a particular image you want put on a fretboard please let me know and I can make it. I plan to have several fretboards available for download so that you can choose which six you want in your Guitar Warriors game.

If you wish to create your own Dynasty Warriors themed fretboard, it must be a 128x256 .bmp image and send it to me so that I can convert it to a .bmp_ps2 file.

To keep you guys updated, I'll just report my progress here, so you all know I'm not just sitting here like a lump doing nothing. All the songs listed on the 1st post are to be in the game. The ones labeled coming soon have yet to be finished.

Tonight I will be creating Slash The Demon from DW6.

Also I implore you guys to ask questions about this. Whether simple, complicated, dumb, or concise, no question is a bad question if you don't know the answer to it. You will need to know alot about this now, so when the time comes to download it you will be prepared.

Nice job on the front page, too. Looking pretty good sportin' Gan Ning up there!

First off, you have asked some very good questions.

As to the 1st question, if you look at the first post here you will see that each song in the songlist has parentheses that say (EMHX Co-op). E stands for easy, M for medium, H for hard, and E for expert. If the letter is red, that means that that difficulty hasn't been made yet. If it is blue it is done.

So, in short, I plan to have all difficulties available in the download. All will be able to enjoy, no matter what skill level. Plus, all songs will have Co-op so you can play with a friend.

As to question #2, this will be for the PS2 only. It is the easiest system to mod and most people have one.

And to the last question, this is what will be needed. Firstly, you need a copy of Guitar Hero: Rock The 80's. Secondly, You need a modded PS2 that can play burned games or swap magic. Place Rock The 80's into your computer and save all the files on the disc to a folder onto your desktop. The files you will modify with what you download from me and you will burn the iso image of the modified game onto a dvd. It is not as complicated as it sounds, but I will have step-by-step instructions added to the download so that you all can do it right the first time.

I hope this answers your questions.

This is crazy awesome. And weird, because I was just thinking a while ago "How awesome would it be to play DW downloadable songs on GH3?" Keep up the good work, this is the best this series has ever seen.

Also, I have a question. I have no idea how a "modded" PS2 works, or what's modded about it or anything. Now that I have a PS3, I don't really care what I have to do to my old PS2, but what do I have to do? Is there a good link you/someone knows of, or is it safe to just search on Google or something?

EDIT: If you're doing guitars/fretboards, anything with Zhang He is fine by me :D
I'd try making my own pic, but I don't have any graphic editing programs aside from Paint...though I might use that if I get any ideas...
NOTE: The above post is TOO LONG

I'm not quite sure about modded PS2's, because I don't have one. So, how do I play my customs? There is something I use that is very simple and very cheap called "Swap Magic". Without it I would be in modding darkness for I too would not know about getting a modded PS2, especially because they are somewhat expensive. What "Swap Magic" does is this. You put it in your PS2 and it boots it up. Then a prompt screen will come up and asks you to put in your custom disc. Not only can you play burned games, but also you can boot Japanese games on an American console and vice-versa. Google Swap Magic and look for the official website, there you will find links to sites where you can purchase online. You'll only be out 30$ and they ship quickly. If you have any problems with that let me know.

I shall make a Zhang He fretboard and guitar as requested and post a vid with it here. Pity, they got rid of his claws. What version of Zhang He would you like, old or new?

Remember if you wish to submit your own fretboard images for me to convert and include in the download, it must be a .bmp image that is 128x256 in size. Thank you.

Actually, I have already made a Gan Ning Fretboard, which you can see in one of the videos. The guitar I shall make, thank you for the request.

Any requests this week should be made before later tomorrow, because I will create your requested items and feature them in a new video so you can see them at work!!!


Here are some early renders of the two requested guitars. These are just previews in the 3D emulator so I can see what they would look like before I put them in-game. They will look much more detailed in-game.

Thanks, I'll have to check out Swap Magic soon.

That guitar is awesome! Although, it might be better suited to a butterfly or something... ;)
And wow, I didn't know you could do character skins. That's pretty cool. However, GH has notoriously weird character shapes, so I can imagine it's pretty hard to get someone to look quite right. If you ask me, you can probably skip that part and be safe.

As for a fretboard, I'll try messing around in Paint or actually buying Photoshop, but I'm looking at his DW6 portrait (where he's jumping out at you). Though I'll have to change it so it's not so bright and busy, because that makes it a little hard to play :wacko:

Yeah, you're right about the characters shapes being tough to skin . I wasn't really planning to do character skins, I was just playing my custom game when I noticed how much Johnny Napalm resembled Zhang He. It was too perfect, I had to try and it turned out well.

Very astute observation about the fretboards, too. You certainly don't want them to be light colored, because then it is hard to see the notes.

*EDIT: Arena video now available!
