Update for 1-26-09 Released

I have uploaded a new update file for last week's DLC. This includes the Steve Miller pack as well as the five singles, which brings the total song count up to 550 in the master database.

This week, the cutoffs have been included with the update file, so you no longer will have to manually enter your star result for new songs. I have found a very useful spreadsheet maintained by ajunata at ScoreHero, and he seems to update the file very quickly on a weekly basis so for the most part I should be able to get fully functional songs into Rock Band tracker before the next batch of DLC comes out.

There are probably a few quirks that I haven't found yet in the routine that handles the cutoff calculation, but I have manually checked the values against Kawigi's list and for the most part they seem accurate. There may be occasional discrepancies, but they shouldn't exceed a hundred points or so at most. I am at the mercy of the base scores I have located, and if they are incorrect, even slightly, I have no way to compensate for it.

Get the latest update file at the link below. Once again, simply unzip the update.dat file into your working directory, and then select "Process Update File" under the Update menu in the program to add the songs. Make sure you're using the latest 0.3b version of the software to avoid getting erroneous messages that the update did not work.
