I am convinced -- zOMG this website was built by a retard!! =o The compo will begin on Monday. In the meantime I've got to find a hardware store, buy more duct tape for this bucket of bolts.

n00b questions:

"Feel free to modify the sample pack any way you want"

so I can, for example, take snippets from the drum track and save them as new wav files -- a kick, a hihat, a snare?

In what ways do people usually modify their samples? Like delay, reverb, chorus, flange?

By modify sample pack we mean that you can add outside samples in addition to the usual manipulations of a BotB remix compo. ;D

So, practically i dont need to use any of the samples at all and can render my own? >:P

puke7 want to violate his own rules. I thought you could tweak the provided samples without adding new (external) ones...

Ok -- I guess I need to explain some things --

I apologize up front for being a lazy admin. I setup this compo as if it was a remix compo because BotB is not yet fully modular (i.e. there are only remix and chip compos programmed into the engine). No one is supposed to upload an .mp3 as their entry.

<b>Pplz are supposed to upload a .zip of their track's LGPT project folder!</b>

I figured people wouldn't be happy with the sample pack -- that's why I left it open. The available sample pack should be taken as an example, encouraging everyone to use those samples and add more if they are not satisfied. I'll try to reword this better in the info.

My apologies again -- my life is kind of insane right now. But if you would like more of my attention you could always make a donation!! ;D

hackers!!! i hope u r all hacking =) kindly ... plushly ... fuckin lovely !!!

where is the strobe trackhacker?, he allways hack all...

Has anyone tried uploading a track yet? I'm always curious if anything is going to work or not....

I can't figure out how to do ANYTHING with this tracker. This tracker makes me feel like a fucking idiot. I press all the buttons and I can't seem to understand how to load a wav file. I can change the lines to numbers or letters but I can't really understand what I'm doing. The "help file" talks about pressing the "start" button. When I do THAT my computer TURNS OFF!

Rut-ROH!! Screw the helpfile -- RTFM!!!!

SC... is close to LSDJ... the same interface and all... it's not to hard to learn... just use Right and left CONTROL + arrows, or A or S + arrows (if you are using windows :) ) and read that manual! :P

GAH?!
No, it doesn't seem like you can upload anything else than mp3 ;|

Well then let's fix this upload issue and extend the compo by a few hours less in yerd scares.

cool, well, guess I better get workin' on this, eh?

Oh, look!! The compo suddenly got two days longer!! O_O Uploading function will be available before sleep post Monday.

thx puke7 :P... we know you are teh busy now :(... but really thx for fix that!... now.. GO WOROK! SLAVE!!! (SSSSPPPPAAAAAWWSSSSSHHHHHHHHH)

Alright -- think it's ready... Let's give it a shot!! g0g0g0g0g000!!

still cant upload =(
its saying: hey, no bitrate detected.. f u.

ok, sorry, I missed some of the .mp3 validation code -- should be all commented out now ;____;

nope. still broken. sorry. same errormessage.

ok ok o ko k ok o ko kok xD I did teh tests and it will work nowz!!! This is so emberassing. I mean I know I can remove the comment tags and make it work like it did correctly for Ann Arbor VI but this thing is gonna need an overhaul in time for Winter Chip III!!! Good thing I got a couple months before then.... =P

great success!

My track sounds better on hardware.. need to mp3 it...

Upload the new mp3 over the render i just did.... and thanks to all the adventure -- I'm thinking the rest of this compo shall be smooth sailing! =x

I never heard your render.. maybe its a better mix.. :)

succeesss

is it possible to download the sources of the tracks for this compo!?!? also i've got to say ... where are the source for download?

the source is in the music note link.

HEY SLACKER ADMIN THE PPLZ AREN'T NOT GETTING THEIR LEVELUPZ!!!!

is it just me or do the results show that everyone got a grand total of zero points?!

I am glad the glitch sez ive won

LOLZ SLACKER ADMIN =p !!!!!

At some point, when I was reorganizing where entry files are stored, a bunch of the entry files for this battle got messed up. Basically, my script grabbed the first file found (either the source or the render) and then saved that as both the source/render. So you couldn't download the source unless it was in the form of a broken mp3 file.

All entries' source and renders recovered! \:D/

IT'S LIKE 2007 ALL OVER AGAIN!

But serious that's cool good work :D

For a second, I was wondering if there was a new LGPT compo or something. Then I looked at the date, hehe.
