Yet another input display for Clone Hero / YARG (WIP)

It's made using Godot 4.2.1.

FAQ/Common Issues

Guitar not detected! What do I do?

If your guitar is an Ardwiino, upgrade it to the Santroller firmware.

Otherwise, please open an issue, mentioning which guitar model it is, and whether it's only some buttons that aren't detected, or the guitar as a whole.

Program wrongly detecting tilt/whammy as input when mapping. What do I do?

Axis calibration is done both at program startup, or whenever ` or ^ is pressed. So, if you encounter this issue, either:

• Make sure you're holding your guitar horizontally (i.e. not tilting) and aren't holding the whammy bar while opening the program, or;
• Same as above, but press ` or ^ while the program is running.

Controls

• Click on top of the button to re-bind it to another key or button;

• Press ` or ^ to calibrate axes.

• Press backspace to reset counters;

• Press escape or click the "Hamburger Button" in the top left corner to open the Config Menu

• Change a fret's color by left clicking it in the Config Menu.

• Change Scroll Speed and Input bar width in the Config Menu. Scroll speed supports one digit of decimal precision.

• Press - or +|= to decrease or increase the scroll speed of the input bars by 10. (This can be adjusted more precisely in the Config Menu.)

• Press [|, or ]|. to decrease or increase the width of the input bars (This can be adjusted in the Config Menu, too.)

Settings

Release versions 0.0.5+ have a Configuration Menu accessible via the escape key or the Hamburger Button (as mentioned above). All available Settings can be adjusted there.

Settings For release 0.0.4 and prior

(Note: It is recommended to not modify scroll_rate and width by directly editing the config file, and instead using the keybinds mentioned above.)

• scroll_rate: Scrolling speed of the input bars, in pixels per second; the higher, the faster. Default: 400;
• width: Sets the width in pixels of the input bars. Default: 50;
• green, red, yellow, blue, orange, up and down: Sets the color of each element. Must be set as a RGB Hex value (i.e. "#FF0000" for red).

(Note: On release 0.0.5+, these colors are called fret_0, fret_1, fret_2, fret_3, fret_4, strum_up and strum_down.)

If you cannot find the file, just open the input display and close it; the file is saved on application close.

TODO

This is still WIP; here are some of the main TODO items (in no particular order):

• Test with other guitars (currently tested with Santroller, Xplorer, Fender RB1 Xbox 360, Les Paul Xbox 360);
• Make FPS independent (requires rewrite)

My time to work on this is relatively limited, but feel free to open issues and pull requests. Contributions are very welcome!
