Tesla x Beat Saber - Light Show Converter
Convert Beat Saber maps to Tesla light shows!
This project requires FFMPEG and all packages from requirements.txt (Use "pip install -r requirements.txt")
With the new Tesla software update a new light show feature has been added. This makes it possible to control the car lights timed with music. I however, am way too lazy to create my own light shows, so I coded a program to do it for me. As someone that has played a lot of the popular VR-game Beat Saber, I thought I could use those levels to generate a light show. This program works by taking the data from a Beat Saber level and translating it to the xLights format Tesla uses. The program is in very early stages, but I plan to build more features upon it.
Features
- Translates note positions and timings to front lights
- Translates background effects to rear lights
- Converts ogg file to wav and links it to light show file
- Optionaly downloads direct links to beat map zip files and extracts them
What it doesn't do (yet...)
- It doesn't output a ready-to-use fseq file. You'll have to load up the xsq file in xLights and compile it to an fseq file
- It doesn't check for any limit violations. This means you'll most likely have to trim the light show in xLights to stay within limits
- It doesn't support beat maps that requires mods (Such as Mapping Extensions, Noodle Extensions, etc.)

Usage
Run main.py with first argument being either a path to a Beat Saber difficulty file, or a direct download link to a Beat map zip file
See demo video for examples:
Leave a star if you like the project to encurage me to keep working on it :)
Step-by-step instructions
- Download the repository as a zip from GitHub
- Make sure you have Python3 installed on your computer. You can get it from www.python.org
- Unzip the zip file you previously downloaded. This is the project folder
- Make sure you have FFMpeg installed on your system. If you're using a Mac, I recommend installing it using homebrew. If you're on windows, download the essential binaries from here: https://www.gyan.dev/ffmpeg/builds/ (Download the file called "ffmpeg-release-essentials.zip") 4b. (For windows only) Extract the zip ffmpeg zip file, go to bin folder and copy all of the content into the same folder as main.py
- Open the project folder in the terminal (For windows users i recommend typing "cmd" in the adress bar, when inside the project folder)
- Type "python3 main.py URL", but replace the URL part with a link to a BeatSaver map. 6b. To get the direct link to a beatsaver map, right click the download button on the beatsaver page and copy the link. It should look like this: https://eu.cdn.beatsaver.com/103d39b43966277c5e4167ab086f404e0943891f.zip
- The program should now generate a lightshow, and put it in the output folder
- You can now open the lightshow file in xLights, eventually trim it to fit the limitations, and then save it as a .fseq file (Use the validation script form Tesla's official lightshow repo)
- Done! Put it on your flashdrive and test it :)
