Make sure you have imported the SQL files.

Hi Topet,

 

I have done the following steps:

Re-applied 202003 pack

Re-applied 20200728 pack

Started with a new butterfly.sqlite

Applied your 3 latest sql files using your new sql.bat

 

I also, can't see the 'Thank You for Playing' asset after the 'don't forget to get your e-amusement card screen'...

[strider973]

Someone can put a complete last release + las butterly update ?

Hello,

 

In a world where all of this hard work is purely voluntary (i.e. "I have a life, I have a family, I have a job too"), only kind words are what one would consider "fruits of labor" and hearing/reading them feels so rewarding.

 

Butterfly (our fork) has gone a long way. What initially started out as an individual project (a.k.a. "topet's butterfly"), eventually became a small group's project. On that note, this small group of individuals do not look at, nor weigh, their contributions in the quantitative sense. The fact of the matter is, there is mutual dependency in the contributions that went into (our fork of) butterfly in its current state, such that a missing piece/contribution by any single one in this group couldn't have made butterfly "whole" all by himself. In this sense, our contributions are weighted qualitatively and hence, as I personally see it, all are equal and therefore all individuals in this small group have equal stake for decisions involving this fork of butterfly.

 

These are the people who have helped make butterfly what it is today: @tw3nz0r @bman @Towlesy27 @Sirk @One Eternal Ash @kanor

 

And of course, @skogaby who is the original author of butterfly. I've only had a chance to talk to him a few times and learn a thing or two. But that simple act is what enabled and fueled me to embark on this journey.

 

This decision to (hopefully, momentarily) stop openly supporting the use of butterfly with DDR Arcade (Ripped) Data is a very painful decision, at least for me personally, because - and again, this is in no way undermining the group that made it for what it is today - the fact remains that it started as an individual person's project. As such I would almost say that this is my "baby" project. And as "small" of a project as it may be in the eyes of the more technically inclined, I unfortunately was "technically handicapped" throughout this entire journey, so whatever "little achievement" you can see (from the eyes of a technical person) is actually a milestone and a source of pride for me.

 

I am not about to be hypocritical about all of this because at the end of the day we know what "THIS" is. Do know that I personally took it with a heavy heart to make this decision. But I think, for the preservation of the greater good who will and should benefit in the long run, I believe that this decision has to be made.

 

Out of my love for the work that has been done, and out of consideration for the many others who try their best to help with the sustainability of making this game available, I am going to release a "final goodbye" public build (hopefully, goodbye only for now). This build is enough to last you up to any 2020-dated package, and will cease to fully function when the 2021-dated packages are leaked to the public (or when you use our butterfly fork on any 2021-dated builds).

 

In the meantime, you may use other 3rd-party online servers which provide the essentials for enjoying the game (score saving/tracking, score rivalry, force-unlocking of all songs, etc.). It is unfortunate that we had to (again, hopefully momentarily) stop making public builds since our fork of butterfly, although primarily envisioned for offline use, offers a very rich level of support and experience for DDR that goes the extra mile, in fact way beyond the essentials. Nonetheless, I have huge respect for all the maintainers/owners of the 3rd-party online servers. Putting up a server to function online where there a lot of users is in fact a stressful thing to do (on top of the fact this is purely voluntary plus volunteering material and non-material resources to maintain it). I am amazed at not only your work, but also your dedication for doing this. I am a patron of some of these 3rd-party servers too.

 

I personally hope that things will eventually turn out for the better because I am still very excited in helping others as you have seen me do. Let us hope for the best and make this a learning lesson as we move forward.

But I think, for the preservation of the greater good who will and should benefit in the long run, I believe that this decision has to be made.

 

Out of my love for the work that has been done, and out of consideration for the many others who try their best to help with the sustainability of making this game available, I am going to release a "final goodbye" public build (hopefully, goodbye only for now). This build is enough to last you up to any 2020-dated package, and will cease to fully function when the 2021-dated packages are leaked to the public (or when you use our butterfly fork on any 2021-dated builds).

 

In the meantime, you may use other 3rd-party online servers which provide the essentials for enjoying the game (score saving/tracking, score rivalry, force-unlocking of all songs, etc.). It is unfortunate that we had to (again, hopefully momentarily) stop making public builds since our fork of butterfly, although primarily envisioned for offline use, offers a very rich level of support and experience for DDR that goes the extra mile, in fact way beyond the essentials. Nonetheless, I have huge respect for all the maintainers/owners of the 3rd-party online servers. Putting up a server to function online where there a lot of users is in fact a stressful thing to do (on top of the fact this is purely voluntary plus volunteering material and non-material resources to maintain it). I am amazed at not only your work, but also your dedication for doing this. I am a patron of some of these 3rd-party servers too.

 

I personally hope that things will eventually turn out for the better because I am still very excited in helping others as you have seen me do. Let us hope for the best and make this a learning lesson as we move forward.

Here's a strange question, not sure if it quite fits the scope of this project. Is there any way to configure butterfly/Spice to generate the "Press [1] to save your scores to the E-Amusement" Server" ability, but instead to save the file locally in a given folder?

[topet2k12001]

Hello,

 

In a world where all of this hard work is purely voluntary (i.e. "I have a life, I have a family, I have a job too"), only kind words are what one would consider "fruits of labor" and hearing/reading them feels so rewarding.

 

Butterfly (our fork) has gone a long way. What initially started out as an individual project (a.k.a. "topet's butterfly"), eventually became a small group's project. On that note, this small group of individuals do not look at, nor weigh, their contributions in the quantitative sense. The fact of the matter is, there is mutual dependency in the contributions that went into (our fork of) butterfly in its current state, such that a missing piece/contribution by any single one in this group couldn't have made butterfly "whole" all by himself. In this sense, our contributions are weighted qualitatively and hence, as I personally see it, all are equal and therefore all individuals in this small group have equal stake for decisions involving this fork of butterfly.

 

These are the people who have helped make butterfly what it is today: @tw3nz0r @bman @Towlesy27 @Sirk @One Eternal Ash @kanor

 

And of course, @skogaby who is the original author of butterfly. I've only had a chance to talk to him a few times and learn a thing or two. But that simple act is what enabled and fueled me to embark on this journey.

 

This decision to (hopefully, momentarily) stop openly supporting the use of butterfly with DDR Arcade (Ripped) Data is a very painful decision, at least for me personally, because - and again, this is in no way undermining the group that made it for what it is today - the fact remains that it started as an individual person's project. As such I would almost say that this is my "baby" project. And as "small" of a project as it may be in the eyes of the more technically inclined, I unfortunately was "technically handicapped" throughout this entire journey, so whatever "little achievement" you can see (from the eyes of a technical person) is actually a milestone and a source of pride for me.

Ideally the server has to be "online" for that to happen, but we'll see what we can do. It's also something that we've been pondering upon, so do know that it's in our thoughts although not urgent.

I mean honestly even a super obviously fake image generated, or something like that. In that same vein, what's the default destination for screenshots taken with the screenshot button (in my case the space bar)?
Lastly, is there a way to get spice tools to either use 2 different HID Smartcard readers, one for each player, or to change what button swaps the P1/P2 destination for read cards (claims NumLock but I need to keep that enabled as of right now)?

Sorry for asking so many questions, you're probably being bombarded on all sides with this new update.

Hmm, why don't you try the app? It's easy to use without admin controls.

 

I know topet recommends spicecompanion app for this hehe 😅

Figured it out my issue: I applied a few hex edits from the spreadsheet (mute announcer, cheer, boo) and freeze timer. For some reason, one of those appears to have crashed it. Resetting to my backed up gamemdx solved my issue.

 

New question: is there a way to force unlock all of the songs?

Use a MusicDB manager for now.

Check out Chapter 4: https://github.com/topet2k12001/butterfly/wiki/04-How-to-Enable-Events

 

 

I had done this correctly, but through some troubleshooting and re-watching of videos I figured out my error. I enabled Free Play in the Service Menu, which broke PASELI, which broke Dan and Nonstop courses. I disabled Free Play in the Service Menu and all was right with the world.

I tried enabling "Premium Free" in spicetoolscfg and then forcing the game to end by using a Course and it just made the game crash after I finished the course. No worries at all; fully appreciate the work that's been done here and appreciate all the support I received in troubleshooting and playing around with the software.

 

Looking forward to what comes next in this community. Thanks again for your patience and support!

 @topet2k12001 I found a workaround after all! I can leave the "Premium Free" patch enabled in spicecfg to play as long as I want without having to restart a session every three songs. Then, when I'm ready to call it quits, I can press F4 to bring up spicecfg in-game overlay, then uncheck that patch and apply it. I've confirmed that allows the game to end when I want it to and it saves my scores and profile.

I could probably set the max song to 1 in the service menu as well so when I disable the patch I can make that my last song instead of having to play 3 more.

Just figured I'd share the update. Thanks again for all the work you've done on this project and for helping me get my gears turning.
