Pro Drums and Enable dynamics options not working (.mid / .chart, CH Engine)

[jpetersen5]

Enabling / disabling these options have no effect on the output path, and the output path seems to always be the score of an optimal, non-dynamic non-pro path.

Through testing I've found that .chart songs do properly calculate dynamics, but not pro drums.

It probably has something to do with the note value calculation here:

    if (note->flags & SightRead::FLAGS_DRUMS) {
        if (note->flags & SightRead::FLAGS_CYMBAL) {
            note_value = engine.base_cymbal_value();
        }
        if (note->flags & (SightRead::FLAGS_GHOST | SightRead::FLAGS_ACCENT)) {
            note_value *= 2;
        }
    }

It could be the SightRead flags aren't being set properly so these conditions aren't passing.

Thanks for the hard work

Good catch, I'll give it a look.

Turns out there's two main issues at play here.

If a chart has pro drum markers, SightRead reads them correctly and CHOpt correctly disables them for drawing non-pro drums, but does not disable them for scoring. There's a similar bug with disco flip.

The other issue is that it looks like if a chart has no cymbals, CH will automatically convert YBG to cymbals. Need to investigate further to see what the behaviour is, and ask Matt.

I don't see any issues with dynamics. If you can provide an example, I'd be happy to look further.

Sure, and thanks for figuring things out. Dynamics work fine for .chart as far as I can tell, it's .mid that have issues, or maybe specifically .mid from files generated by the Onyx toolkit? I don't have any .mid that aren't from Onyx so I don't know but here's an example:

And to show it has dynamics:

Also, regarding a chart defaulting to cymbals, maybe it's related to how toms are charted in midi? At least when charting in a DAW like Reaper, YBG are default cymbal notes and you have to mark the toms with an extra midi note for pro drums
