The Bongo Circle: A Konga Beat Forum

I'm glad this editor exists. I remember finding Rainbow way back in ~2019 and being disappointed it could only read .nut files, not write them out. This is a super helpful tool for modding Konga 2 and 3, so I'll sticky this thread. 😊

Updated version of Konga Launcher is up! This should address the freezing issue you're experiencing. Konga Launcher 0.9.2b2

I'm really glad to hear the other bugs have been fixed! I was able to reproduce the issue you're running into now, so I should have a fix for that shortly. You are correct that this is an issue with Konga Launcher, not Konga Beat. Thank you for your patience working through these bugs! Your...

I figured out the issue: for whatever reason Shift JIS is included as an encoding option by default within the Unity Editor, but not as part of games/apps built with Unity. I originally included a check for Shift JIS to try accounting for this scenario. However, when that check happens, Unity...

After some investigation, I identified a couple of candidates that may be contributing to the issues you're experiencing. After closing all your current Konga-related windows (Konga Beat, Konga Launcher, and Dolphin), try running this version of the editor and let me know if you're still running...

Ah, dang. I'm sorry you're running into so much trouble! I'll look into this after I fix the tempo marker bug.

That's really strange! I haven't been able to reproduce this yet, but I'm looking into it. In the meantime, would you be open to sharing your log? That might give me some insight into what's causing the freezing. If you're open to it, your log (Player.log) should be located here: C:\Users\{YOUR...

I uploaded the updated builds of Konga Beat and Konga Launcher with proper Shift JIS encoding here: Konga Beat 1.0.4 / Konga Beat 1.0.4 (Installer) Konga Launcher 0.9.2 (Windows Installer) I'll also be pushing out these updates to itch.io either tonight or tomorrow.

I've definitely seen retail charts use some funky offsets to line up correctly with the audio. It appears they're set using a combination of the sysex property in the midi file and offset field in SongInfo.res. I wrote a little bit about what I believe each part of the sysex means in the Konga...

Very cool! I love seeing the custom stages.

Konga Beat uses a paid Unity plugin which currently prevents me from open sourcing the project. I would like to get around to making it open source eventually, but unfortunately haven't had the bandwidth. Regarding the second part, did someone run into issues with note drifting? I don't recall...

In the process of adding Shift JIS encoding to Konga Beat, I discovered Konga Launcher erroneously encodes SongInfo.res as UTF-8, so I put together a fix for that as well (both contribute to this issue). I believe with these changes your song's information should render correctly in the game...

In the past, I would change the encoding of the text file with Notepad++ (Encoding > Character sets > Japanese > Shift-JIS). That said, this approach goes back to when the SongInfo.res file had to be modified manually, predating Konga Launcher automating a lot of the process for loading custom...

Konga Beat 1.0.3 - Windows (Download) [Patch Notes] Yesterday, a user reported issues with the editor freezing while trying to export their project. Upon further investigation, this turned out to be a problem with how Konga Beat handled end-of-line characters. I have released a hotfix (v. 1.0.3)...

This is a great idea!

From my understanding, the Donkey Konga games only support Shift JIS characters, so Konga Beat has only been tested against those.

I believe the short term fix would be to clear the song's title and type it in manually. That said, I uploaded an updated build to Dropbox. I'll probably update the version on itch.io either later tonight or tomorrow. Thank you for reporting this! 😄

Thanks! I was able to diagnose the issue. Turns out it's a bug with how Konga Beat handles some text (in this case, the song title). I'll have an updated build with the fix shortly.

I'm sorry you're running into so much trouble! Would you be open to uploading your project file on Google Drive or Dropbox and sharing it with me? (either posting a link here or PMing me)

I'm glad to hear the issue has been resolved! As far as the notes disappearing, are you noticing this after you click "Save" and re-open the project?
