#New Engine bugs

Just a few things I noticed whilst playing on the new engine build:

• Notes have a slight Extended note line after them
• Extended notes don't hold properly, I noticed this mostly with Orange
• Open Extended notes are still not coded to have whammy effects or animations and stay as one big held whammy (Wondering if this one is intentional or will be updated later on)
• Overdrive animation does not disappear after first activation (Unsure if Overdrive stays active when in this state, but the multiplier stays at 8x)
• After the above bug, Overdrive Collection Phrases will not add itself to the bar, seemingly as if the overdrive bar keeps draining past the low endpoint where it should deactivate.

  1. I'm assuming this is a sustain threshold bug, what song and source was this?
  2. That's odd... haven't noticed it myself. Possibly some of your frets are flickering?
  3. We'll most likely add an amimation for them, but only when whammying.
  4. By overdrive animation do you mean the track glows? Or is it just the multiplier? I have noticed some issues with the multiplier myself so it's probably connected to that.
  5. Hmm this is weird. Can you also provide a song and source for this?

Thanks for all of the feedback, it's much appericated!

Hello! Thanks for replying so quickly. I'll try to answer all the questions as accurately as I can.

  1. I can't give you a straight answer here as it was happening in every song.

  2. I haven't experienced this in any other build of YARG, clone hero, or otherwise.

  3. Cool! Can't wait to see it!

  4. It's both, at least for me when I tested the build.

  5. Again I'm unable to provide specific song or source as it happened in all of them when I tested the build. Apologies

it would be good if you could get a video for these issues, that'll help us know what to look for

Also, Hello Drumbs.

#

it would be better if you can record them using something like OBS Studio, it's important to be able to review the footage as many times as needed

I'll see what I can do

@tall hornet Hey. I went back to play the new engine, and I am unable to replicate the issues found above. I think they might have been specific cases that don't happen very often. Something with the song I played that might have broken some code, maybe. I can't remember which song it might have been though.

#

However, I did notice a few other things:

• Whammy does not widen the line as it usually does on other YARG builds. Further testing needed to see if it's also not adding to the Overdrive bar when used during an Overdrive collection phrase
• Overdrive effects are instant instead of animated, and no fireworks are present when activated (I rather liked those)
• Overdrive seems to activate immediately after having gotten enough built up on the bar. Whether this is my gyro being too sensitive (Which was a slight issue in previous YARG builds) or it's the game requires further testing.

i can attest whammying works, the line-widening animation just isnt implemented yet

hollow folio
#

Can confirm Whammy works as intended, animation not present 🙂

#

OH HEY!! Hoorah for replays, I just found the songs I played the last time: Away by Plini and Unwelcome School by Mitsukiyo

#

I can confirm these songs work as intended on other builds and other games like Clone Hero. I shall replay these songs as a second test

#

This thing should be blue

#

• Immediately after completing a song, I am returned straight to the main menu instead of being given a final score screen

#

I'm going to decouple tilt from star power and see how it affects activation

yeah working as intended then

hollow folio
#

fair.
• Glow around the Strikeline does not appear when hitting open notes

#

• When used for Overdrive activation, Tilt seems to be overly sensitive in the new build of YARG

tall hornet
#

missing animations and stuff are all known, they will return with time

hollow folio
#

Still good to note them just in case, I always say

#

Oh yeah, WAY too small lol. Good to know that at least it wasn't the game itself activating because "why not" lol

#

As far as I'm aware, I haven't found any other issues yet. I've yet to try out the practise mode, but I'm sure people have thrown everything at that one already.

I tested the songs I had played before and none of the issues I first listed have resurfaced on either of them. Weird

#

Though that was played on the first new engine build before it was updated the next day

#

• If pausing whilst holding an extended note, then unpause whilst not holding a fret the note will continue to hold as long as no other inputs are detected

tall hornet
#

that one's known as well

hollow folio
#

I'm sure you're aware of this one too, but:
• Song length glow around the score meter is not present

#

Good to note just in case 😛

#

• When sorting by "Source" it's weird. Screenshots coming

#

It desn't show the full name, instead abbrieviating letters

#

• Section skipping does not work. (Holding blue and hitting any strum direction just acts like you're not holding that at all)

i hope i explained it well lmfao

hollow folio
#

I haven't experienced the note missing like that yet

cerulean stone
#

i just noticed it on the new version lmfao, i played it on the old engine and i never once ran into that issue

#

probably a hit window thing

hollow folio
#

Could be.

#

• Settings is not an option in the pause menu. Wondering if this is intentional

#

• Lyrics are not displaying at all, no matter which song I pick that has them written.

#

Oh, I just found a game breaking one:

I unpaused using the green fret to confirm "Unpause" and I strummed straight after to try to hit a note that was right there. Missed, and now I can't strum anything.

#

strumbar works as intended through menus, and I shall test on a new song

#

Strum works as intended on new song.

#

To summarise and compact this note:
• Strumming a note immediately after unpausing using the guitar will cause a game-breaking glitch that disables strumming notes, for some reason.

#

I'm done for today, but I hope this has helped you guys note down some of the bugs or things I experienced.

  • hopos are very finicky, in the lasso solo i usually strum out the hopo notes
#

in this v i couldnt do it

#

every time id strum a hopo it would count it as a overstrum

hollow folio
#

I did notice Hopos were a bit unreliable to hit sometimes, but Tap Notes were fine

#

Yeah anything that's "missing" from stable is known; I've got a personal checklist that I've gotta go through for those things

novel wigeon
#

I'm not too sure if this has been added yet

cerulean stone
#

ooooooo

going to be changed, I hated that effect we had, but something similar

hollow folio
#

I liked that one, but that's fair. Once it's done, would you post a gif of it so we can see it?

#

I always post everything new on twitter and to the dev team so they can implement, also in general sometimes

hollow folio
#

Lol I don't use twitter much

#

I don't mind waiting until implementation

I am not anywhere close to home (not until tomorrow) so I can’t really download anything big

#

This code was marking sustains which end on the exact same tick as another note starts as extended sustains (which is wrong)

#

Therefore if you're still holding the buttons to hit another note, it masks them away so the engine believes you're not holding them

#

It was why the bot missed on sustains sometimes

#

We do need to implement sustain cutoffs but that will come when sustains actually have scoring

#

As we will just have the burst mechanic like GH/CH does
