Here we go, the final piece of the Export puzzle! Complete with added X+ charts where applicable! I did not want to just release the songs and leave those sweet animations behind, so I spent a few months researching and reverse engineering the SKA animation system to figure out how it all worked.
If you didn't know, despite looking similar, the Guitar Hero games completely changed how their animation system worked starting with Guitar Hero Metallica. Every game afterwards used the same system, so porting those animations were relatively simple. However, with World Tour, they were in a different format that caused the animations to go very glitchy if just plopped into the game.
I knew there had to be a way to port them, as the folks at World Tour Definitive Edition were able to bring back some of those animations into World Tour. Lucky for them, WT doesn't care too much about how the data is laid out. That wasn't the case for Warriors of Rock so more time had to be spent getting the animations to work (if they weren't glitching, the game straight up crashed).
I took some time figuring out how the animations worked by porting some Guitar Hero: Aerosmith animations into World Tour. It was during this conversion process that I learned more details about the system and could eventually manage to get a SKA file from World Tour to work in Warriors of Rock. In the future, an update to my toolkit will be released allowing you to port any custom from WTDE into WoR allowing customs for all!
You WILL need to update your custom cache by re-downloading it from that folder.
A huge thank you to the following people: Freg for putting together this trailer! @BIIIIGBODDY for testing every single X+ chart to make sure nothing was broken!

Entered for a submission to JJJreactDragonForce - Soldiers of the Wastelands Rock Band 3 CustomAddy Mills2024-09-12 | I didn't want to do another 8-minute song after Revolution Deathsquad, so I naturally decided to so a 10-minute song instead. I saw a truly awful chart posted by SneakCoot in MiloHax (not their chart), so I wanted to make a playable version of this song in full band!
Download - rhythmverse.co/songfile/de1c986109c04fbcb91ad94b78011a3fDragonForce - Revolution Deathsquad Rock Band 3 CustomAddy Mills2024-08-03 | This has been like 10 years in the making. I started and stopped making this FUB custom a dozen times, losing motivation, or unable to figure out certain parts. I had the motivation a few years ago to make this into a GH2 custom, but this summer has just been my year for customs. This is something I've wanted to do, and now it is done! Eventually you have to call it quits on the adjustments and just release it.
Audio is from the 360 GH3 DLC, with some separation used to chart the drums, vocals, and keys. This is one of the few rhythm tracks in GH3 that had a completely separate bass stem for some reason!

The old version had the second yodelling and subsequent jam cut out and another one with a guitar solo. Please enjoy the full version of this classic in Rock Band form!
Inspired by Chris Vance on @LoreHeroPodcast when he mentioned that they wanted this song in Band Hero 2. Perhaps I'll use this as a template for future GH Toolkit releases
It's still far from perfect (I don't know why his mouth hangs off to the side, probably a conversion error somewhere), and definitely not user friendly to implement. However, I'll keep working on it to make it as user-friendly to add to a custom disc and release the method with a future update to the .NET Toolkit!
I realize I haven’t been publicly active lately. I’m still working on things in the background, but I just don’t have anything that I can publish yet. Lots of unfinished things that don’t quite make a good update yet.

It's been a while since I've made any sort of update! I've been working on a new version of the toolkit that's been coded in an entirely new language. Which is why it's taking me so long to make another update. It's because I am rewriting the whole program! That's also why I haven't made any tutorials like I said I would, as they would be outdated the minute the new program gets released. I hope to have an update for you all soon! Until then, please enjoy this custom for Unsane. This was originally planned for the 2023 Chart-a-Thon, but had to cancel my pack due to time constraints.
0:00 - Guitar Hero 5 8:12 - Warriors of Rock 23:38 - Animation LoopsGH3 Singer Sings a Custom SongAddy Mills2023-08-15 | A video showing a WIP feature of my toolkit. Thought it’d be fun to show off how a fully built custom would look.
No download yet as the full song isn’t ready.
How I did it was that I needed to record my facial movements with Blendartrack, import it into Blender, sync it up with the song, export for GHWT, convert the file for gh3, and add it to the song package.
I hope to make this as simple as possible with a future toolkit update
Stay up to date with my toolkit! github.com/AddyMills/Guitar-Hero-III-ToolsBabymetal - Starlight Guitar Hero Custom (WoR/WTDE)Addy Mills2023-07-29 | Another custom to celebrate another update to the toolkit. This song was generated by the latest version on July 29.
Main features include X+ charts with ghost notes, camera FoV effects (like doing a zoom out in the middle of a camera cut), and direct to WoR compilation!
Enjoy!Fully Animated Warriors of Rock Custom (Billy Talent - Fallen Leaves)Addy Mills2023-07-06 | This was a fun project. After getting my first iPhone this week, I really wanted to try out Blendartrack and its lipsync generation. After looking like a tool lipsyncing to this song in my living room, I ended up with a pretty decent lipsync for World Tour Definitive Edition.
Converting it to WoR then ended up being pretty similar to my Missing Exports conversions. This doesn't have any band clips, as they are kind of hard to put in, but I will probably update this down the line. For now, enjoy this proof of concept with cameras, lightshows, custom lipsync, and instrument animations!
This contains links for World Tour Definitive Edition, as well as Warriors of Rock for both 360 and PS3. For consoles, add it to your custom cache. For WTDE, unzip it and add it to your MODS folder.
When I push the next update to my tool, I will also show you how to do this yourself. It'll be much more streamlined at that point I would think.Walk This Way (Run DMC) Ported to World TourAddy Mills2023-07-02 | Technically it's ported to World Tour Definitive Edition. This song makes heavy use of an alternate skeleton not present in any vanilla game in order to get DMC's mocap.
There are some minor graphical issues. They are fortunately not a result of the compiler, but because of the different skeletons being used. It's being worked on, but I wanted to show off a song I had ready to go.
I will make another talking video soon to show you how to convert any custom from World Tour to Warriors of Rock using the toolkit.The Guitar Hero Re-Animated ProjectAddy Mills2023-06-07 | Another project I've been working on that I wanted to release before the final export pack! Allow me to introduce the Guitar Hero Re-Animated Project, whose goal is to port all the animations of pre-Guitar Hero 5 DLC and exports since they were lost when playing them in GH5 and up. Although I didn't get all of them, I've got all that I can for now.
To clarify, here are all the added animations: - All of WT Exports - All of WT DLC - All of SH Exports - All guest songs from GHM except Ace of Spades
Download Links (they should all be installed in the Guitar Hero 5 Content folder, not your Warriors of Rock folder)
Download my files and use his guide to install them.
We re World Tour Missing Export? It's Saturday June 10th!
Songs Showcased: Bob Seger & The Silver Bullet Band - Old Time Rock 'n Roll Sworn - Electro Rock The Reverend Horton Heat - Psychobilly Freakout Nirvana - Heart-Shaped Box
Ice Cream Man image taken from Jloe01's Performance Mode video (0:11) youtube.com/watch?v=KyRtTvvKXRUWarriors of Rock Jimi Hendrix 6-Pack Export TrailerAddy Mills2023-06-04 | A trailer showcasing the 6 missing Jimi Hendrix downloadable content for World Tour playable in Warriors of Rock! As before, these are complete with the cool mocap.
Eagle-eyed viewers may see some visual issues. Although currently it will show up like that, I do hope to be able to fix it with script mods in the future. All of these songs contain the necessary files to enable left-hand animations.
The Jimi Hendrix DLC songs were the only DLC songs to not be playable in Guitar Hero 5 and beyond, which was a shame, because they are good! If you can ignore some of the drum charting decisions. Foxey Lady is the only song not also playable in Rock Band due to it being a live version.
This wonderful trailer was brought to you by my man, Freg! He's been awesome with making these emulate the official DLC trailer style.
Fun fact: The game actually always reads the Jimi Hendrix content from World Tour, but it just never puts the songs in any setlist! Therefore, I've made this pack to be similar to the official Compatibility Patch. Where this download only has the charts.
Install Instructions: - Install this Export Pack to your Warriors of Rock DLC folder (or for PS3, install the pkg) - Install the custom cache provided in the Drive link for your console to your Warriors of Rock DLC folder - You must also have the official Hendrix DLC for World Tour installed in order for these songs to show up and be playable
I'm getting near the end of my releases! I think I have one more surprise for you all before my World Tour Exports release.Wii Bird (Lynyrd Skynyrd - Free Bird Wii Edition) Custom for Warriors of RockAddy Mills2023-05-25 | When Neversoft released their Lynyrd Skynyrd Track Pack for Guitar Hero 5, the 360 and PS3 received the version from Smash Hits, as was expected. However, the Wii got an entirely new version. Completely different charts from the SH version. For completion's sake, this chart must be playable on the 360 and PS3. I personally prefer the SH guitar chart, but now you can make your opinion with this release!
I originally was planning to just convert the chart, but the animations they put into this version were way better than the SH version! The files the Wii used to animate their avatars were completely different from 360, so I couldn't just plop them in. However, they used the same names as files found on the 360/PS3. So I found all animations in other official songs and added them to this one. Luckily, the file that tells the game to play animations/cameras cuts does transfer, so that part was pretty easy to bring over.
As this is a custom, I did make one small modification, and that I added two kick lanes at the very end. WoR supports it, so why not?
Did you know that with the release of Guitar Hero Metallica, the DLC chart of All Nightmare Long got overwritten by the GHM version? This meant that the version that came with the rest of the album could only be played in Guitar Hero: World Tour. As such, I present to you the version with the WT chart available to play with full animations! The only modification I made was adding Expert+.
I've also got great news. Animations from World Tour can be completely converted to Warriors of Rock now! This video is one such showcase. This means that the World Tour Missing Export is very close to completion.
There may even be some other goodies that comes out of this ;)
This is considered a custom, so to play it, add it to your custom cache. Or, if you do not care about other customs, feel free to use the custom cache in the Google Drive.Guitar Hero: Van Halen Full Export TrailerAddy Mills2023-03-01 | Now you too can experience the hottest hits from Wolfgang Van Halen's personal iPod music library circa 2009 on Warriors of Rock!
This is what I've been working towards the last few months. I originally planned to just get these songs playable, but when I discovered halfway through porting Guitar Hero Metallica's songs that the animations just worked, I hoped that Van Halen's animations would transfer as well. Even though in GHVH, the animations were in two separate files on-disc, simply merging them into one song package worked just fine! Therefore, let me present to you all 44 songs previously unexported Guitar Hero Van Halen songs with full motion capture animations!

World Tour Exports may come in the future, if I can figure out how to export its animations. If not, it may be an export pack like the official ones, just the songs and charts, but no special animations.Guitar Hero Smash Hits Missing Exports Trailer (With Full Animations!)Addy Mills2023-02-11 | Smash Hits! The missing exports from this game arguably had most of the bangers on that disc. Now for you to enjoy in Warriors of Rock!
This release took a bit as the drum animations from GHSH were not great. So I remade them all! The video shows the drummer the way the animations were originally, the download has them fixed.
Join Addy's Playpen on MiloHax for updates regarding this project! discord.gg/Q6PxzYEefTGuitar Hero Metallica Missing Exports Trailer (With Full Animations!)Addy Mills2023-02-01 | I actually had these songs playable in Warriors of Rock about a week after my Guitar Hero 5/Band Hero Exports, but I had the idea of seeing if I could convert the animations too. After a few weeks research, and much tinkering to my conversion script, I was indeed able to add them back into the game!
I guess you could say these exports are a notch above the exports Neversoft provided for the World Tour style games (if I could add them back, how come we didn't get them originally?)
Thank you Freg for making this awesome trailer once again!
