Here is the picture tutorial of how to add custom songs to Guitar Hero 3 PC!

I used songlist editor 0.30 to this. You can find it Here

1. Start thprogram and press "File -> Open"



2. Locate your Guitar Hero 3 DATA folder. Most peoples has it in "C:\Program Files\Aspyr\Guitar Hero 3\" And press Ok.



3. Now you can see all the songs you have added to your game before. Now you need to add a song. Press on the button "Insert New Song"



4. Now you get a new popup window there you can select a few things. Start with "Song Name" I will take "finalcountdown" because i add The Final Countdown of
Europe. Then you need to add the audio. Press browse on the guitar track and locate your .mp3 or .ogg file with the audio of the song. Do the same with Rhythm track
and Song track. In volume i take Guitar -> 100%, Rhythm -> 95% and Song 90% (Recommended). Then select a good preview position of the song. Take the chorus lol, it's best. Now you need the tones. Press browse beside Midi file and locate your .mid file.
In song title you take your song name my is The Final Countdown. Then the artist, my is Europe. Then the year of the song, i didn't had a clue of when it was made... I typed 1988. Now press ok.



And it should look like this

e

5. Now you can see the progress in the cmd.



6. When it's done it should look like this



7. Now you get back to the main window. Now you must add the song to your setlist! Press on the button "Edit Setlists"



8. Now you get a new popup. You only need for first to add a new tier for the song. I had 12, i add one and get up to 13.



9. Go to song number and press on the white small window. Now you get a new small window there you can see your songs on the tier. Select "slowride" (always in the bottom when you add a new tier) and press on it.



10. Now go down to song and press on the small window. Here you get a little while small window again but here you need to select the song you added. Maybe you remember i added my as "finalcountdown", that name you need to add (your name you took to your songs). And then press on the song. You can do the same with your quickplay list. Just go up to setlist and press on the white window and press on "gh3_general_songs". Then press Ok.



11. Now press "File -> Save"



12. It asks about you want to overwrite important data, press Ok



13. And when the saving is done it should look like this



You can see it's when the last song with the highest letter is writen in the cmd.

You find them on Scorehero You MUST register to get acces to the custom songs forum.

Hello,

Just a quick question but where are you supposed to get the guitar/rhythem tracks from? or do you just always use the same track for all?

Thanks

Can I make a brand new "Custom" section in the set list and store all Custom Songs in there. So none of the original GH3 songs get deleted.

oh i have tons of questions which will answere other peoples.
1. where do i get the guitar/rythm track for a song
2. How do i make a custom section to put the songs in like right after lous inferno
3. how do you import the chart into the music.
4. does that program already convert the stuff to .xen and all that?
5. where do i get the midi of a song?
yes that is all for now.

When Im done making a song it keeps saying something about failing and fsbencrypt
and the one window says failed to open the output file

:/ after using this once i went back in to try and edit a song because it wasent working and all im getting now is a crc error :/ other than reinstalling gh is there any other fix?

umm i try to down the song editor but it didn't look like yours

Ok i download the song editor but NOW I CANT FIND THE DATA FILE.. i have guitar hero 3 . in the computer it's GH3C(E:)

Hi

1.Use the same track for all
2. Put the number of the songs in edit setlist up
3. Leffs Charttomid converter. you can only import mids
4. Yes it does
5. Scorehero.com then register and you will see a custom songs tab at the top. There are about 6000 charts there as of now but you dont want to dl a midi file they screw up. DL a chart then use leffs charttomid converter.

HI there!

I got a Problem! I addet a song but it dosent work! i made it allthing right! I think!^^

I dont Know where the Problem is!

I hope u can help me!

I downloaded the editor but it keeps saying a certain .dll is not found. Ive downloaded 17 times and it comes up with the same message

I have this problem that i cant open the chart2mid file please tell me what to do.

Hi, and thanks for a good tut.

But something happened when I tried this.
The first time I tried, things worked just as it should. (I'm talking abt the Songlist Editor now..) But the second time.. When I tried this again with a new song, I got a popup message: "Unhandled exception! See command window for details". (I've tried several times, but I still get the same message)

Then I gave up to insert that second song, so I opened GH to try the first song. But when it started, I got a message. It was something abt that the files were broken and a question if I should delete all the files (I think), or just "Cancel". I clicked "Cancel".
Then I went to Quickplay, but when I got there, all the highscores and everything I've done on GH was reset! The whole game is now reset!
What can I do?
I'm not a good player, but..now I have to do all this again.
Please answer.


Sorry if my english isn't that good.

i cant use the songlist editor for some reason :/
it says cannot find MSVCP71.dll ...... any help?

k thank god someone else has the same problem as me.. u figured that out yet... do u have vista cause maybe its gay vista

this works for ps2 right??????

if it does i hope it wont crash on me

Hi!
for all who has the problem with the MSVCP71.DLL paste this in the folder of sonlist editor http://www.mediafire.com/?uecyynjxxne

yep, same here. i did all the way you described, but the song is not listened in GH :/

Yesterday, I was using Songlist Editor, and it said Unexcepted change or something and crashed. I restarted it and this showed up






So I deleted the files for songlist editor and reinstalled it, and now it works..but now GH3 Won't start up.

I uninstalled and reinstalled Gh3. The outcome was Lost my all the songs i uploaded and it didnt fix anything...

Hi,

I have installed and used songlist editor just as the tutorial said...

with the name titles the guitar.ogg... rhythm.ogg... song.ogg... and the midi thing. then put them in the setlist and all that...

i download these songs for use in frets on fire and it contains all songs from GH1, Gh2, GH ENCORE, and GH3.

I already had the midi file and I don't have a chart file to convert so i left the "Chart2Midi" bit out of the whole process.

I load up the game and can't find any of the songs on the game.


Im not experienced at this at all so it could just be a simple mistake, but wondered if one of you kind people could point me in the right direction as I have some beasty songs that i want to rock out too!

Thanks


p.s. If i can get these songs up and running on my GH3 I will donate 5 US Dollars...

Just because if I can add songs to this game I believe it is worth money to do so
