New Update File Released

I have uploaded a new update file that is current up to and including the release of Pearl Jam's Ten album. This file has accurate cutoffs for all songs to this point.

I have not included the live tracks available through pre-ordering the Ten re-issue at Best Buy. The word is that these songs will be made available for purchase via normal channels, so I will wait until that happens to include these songs in the program.

Minor update to software and new update file

I have uploaded a new version of the 0.8b executable and full install. This includes a minor tweak to allow people to re-size the Visual Star List to show more items on screen at once. It is not recommended that you attempt to resize the screen horizontally, because there will just be dead space (I haven't yet figured out how to account for this.) It should still functionally work, though.

I also made a tweak to the way the program internally handles songs without vocal parts. The hope is that the user will see no difference in this respect from before. Let me know if there are any issues with it.

I have also uploaded a new update file that brings the entire song list up to date, with accurate cutoffs up to and including Texas Flood.

The links in the post below are still valid. Enjoy!

Version 0.8 Beta Released and New Update File Posted

I have uploaded version 0.8b of the Rock Band Tracker executable at the link below. The most noteworthy change is that users can now individually delete Rock Band 1 songs from their collection (essentially, RB1 songs are now treated as regular DLC.) The checkbox indicating the state of "Rock Band 1 ownership" has been replaced with a button that will alternate between Add Rock Band 1 songs (which will place all of the Rock Band 1 songs in your collection) and Remove Rock Band 1 songs (which will remove all Rock Band 1 songs from your collection.) They then can be added or deleted from the collection in the same fashion as any other DLC.

Please note that this archive contains only the executable, so if you are using the program for the first time, you should download the 0.8 full install archive also posted below.

I have also posted a new update file which is current up through the Texas Flood album release. Unfortunately, these songs, as well as the Jimmy Eat World and Alt Country packs from the previous weeks, do not yet have cutoff information. I will upload a new update file as soon as this data is available.

Update File and New Images Released

Thanks to LilCube from the GameFAQs message board, I can now provide you with far superior images for use with Rock Band Tracker. These make the star images, particularly the gold stars, look much better in both the main program and the Visual Star List, as well as the tier markers for the difficulties. Just replace your existing "images" folder with the one found in the archive linked below.

I've also put a new update.zip file up that when processed will bring the song list up to date through the Thin Lizzy live pack and the other singles released on February 3. These songs, as well as those in the second Grateful Dead pack released last week, do not yet have cutoff information, so you'll have to manually enter your star values for these songs until I can get the base scores, which hopefully won't be long. I'll add star cutoffs for songs that are missing them as I continue to release new update files.

This update also fixes some incorrect difficulty tier information for Young Man Blues (Live at Leeds.)

Version 0.7b Released

I have uploaded version 0.7b of the Rock Band Tracker executable at the link below.

This version contains two major improvements.

1) I have added a "Visual Star List" option in the "Reports" menu. This option will display a scrollable list of all of the songs you have completed on the currently selected instrument, along with your highest score and the corresponding star result in visual fashion. This list was created to mimic the Rock Band 1 song selection list which showed you this information as you were selecting the songs. It provides an "at-a-glance" visual report of how well you're generally doing on a certain instrument. Unfortunately, the process I use to accomplish this is not particularly efficient, so please forgive the fact that it might take a while for the list to load. I do not include songs that have not yet been completed in the list, which should speed it up a bit. Once you have a few hundred songs completed, though, it might take a few seconds for the list to appear.

2) I have added a "Display" menu with a "Widescreen" checkbox option. When checked, the components of the GUI will be resized and rearranged to fit a 16:9 perspective. This may be useful for people with widescreen monitors who don't have enough screen height to fit the standard 1024x768 perspective. This option can be toggled on the fly during the program's execution, and the setting will be saved when the program is closed and then restored when it is opened again, much like the "Show Only Collection" option already is.
