Tier Editing

 

How do I edit the Tiers?

Open the TheGHOSTWiiIsoTool.  Set:-

• TiersCount – Amount of tiers you would like
• TierSongCount – Set to the amount of songs in the above tiers.  Set “5” for 5 songs per tier or comma separate the values e.g. “5,5,5,5,5,5,5,4”.
• BonusTierSongsCount – The amount of songs that the bonus tier will contain.

 

Why are the boss battles removed when editing tiers?

The boss battles are removed to simplify the editing process. There are checks and flags that indicate that battles exist and how they work. They just weren’t worth the work involved to preserve /maintain them.

How do I add songs and keep the boss battles?

Only set BonusTierSongsCount and leave TiersCount and TierSongsCount blank. Ensure that RemoveBossBattles is set to No. The ISO being modified must currently contain the Boss Battles.

What is the minimum amount of songs and tiers that can be set?

1 tier with 2 songs - 1 to open the encore and 1 for the encore itself. 1 bonus song.

What is the maximum amount of songs and tiers that can be set?

There is no hard limit. Different combinations of Career songs and Bonus songs yield different results.  Even the way the songs are distributed over the tiers can have an effect.  There are 2 issues to watch out for:

1. The save file corrupting. If too many songs are added, the game might play and save, but will hang on reload. When testing be sure to clear out any existing save file as this can interfere with your results.
2. The setlist hangs the instant press the A button to play a song.  This is normally caused by having too many songs in the setlist. Sometimes making less tiers with more songs can work around this.  If the game crashes the instant you move on to it and doesn’t even play the preview then try compacting the ISO with the WiiIsoTool – use the “Compact ISO” preset.  This is an known issue caused by the version of WiiScrubber currently being used.

Why does the game freeze when I select a song to play?

See the above question, point 2 specifically.

Why is Through the Fire and Flames (GH3) / Kings and Queens (GHA) moved to the end of the setlist?

These 2 songs are unlocked the first time a career setlist is completed. Moving them to the end of the career setlist ensures they will always be playable without being hidden.

Why does Kings and Queens (GHA) appear twice?

In GHA kings and queens is included twice. One is the end credits version and the other is the version that is unlocked after playing the end credits version.  The end credits version will always be the last song in the bonus tier. It will still function as the end credits song, but you can play it whenever you like.

Why has the support band check been removed in GHA?

Like the boss battles this was removed to simplify editing.  It means TheGHOST can work with GH3 and GHA in the same way.

What happens if I set the tier and song counts and leave the bonus songs count blank?

TheGHOST will modify the career tiers by adding or taking from the bonus songs. If there are not enough songs in the bonus songs then more will be added to ensure there at least 1.

What happens if I set the bonus songs count and leave the tier and song counts blank?

The career tier will be left untouched.  Only the bonus songs will be modified.  This is the approach to take if you want to add songs and keep the boss battles.

What happens if I set 1 tier with 2 songs then want to add more songs to the same ISO later?

TheGHOST will bring back the removed songs in the same order they used to be in.

This sounds very intricate, are there likely to be any bugs?

Probably, this was really complicated to implement due to all the combinations. If you find anything, just post it on the ScoreHero forum.
