FAQ:

• How do I add a chart?

Go into the empty doorframe to enter the editor, there you can press the menu button to create your own new chart or "TAB" to import a downloaded .zip file.

• **How do I change my chart's ____ ?**

Go to the editor by entering the empty doorframe, select the chart you want to edit, and go down to "Chart settings", all the settings are found there. When changing the song make sure each file points to an existing file in "mus" or your chart's folder, or use the import option (TAB) when modifying your chart's song files or sign's image file.

• Everything freezes when I play the chart!

Make sure the required music files are in the chart's folder or Deltarune's "mus" folder, or that your chart settings have no typos. Make sure to include the file extension in the name of your song file.

• The fun gang's sprites are all messed up when playing a chart!

The author of the chart probably used sprite IDs in their events rather than sprite names. Check the chart's events, if an event is setting sprite_index to a number it's part of the problem, you can delete it.

• My chart crashed when playing it!

If you or the original author added custom events, it's probably that. Double check every event at the spot it crashed. Otherwise send me the crash log and I'll take a look.

• I imported a chart and it crashed the game!

A chart it tried to load was corrupt, navigate to Deltarune's save folder and find the imported song (same name as the zip file) in the "Custom songs/Charts" folder. Remove any "_infoX.txt" files inside its folder. If the game still crashes remove the ".neo" files as well.

• I used the old version of this mod, what will happen to my old charts?

Charts using any outdated format will automatically be converted to the new format and saved to the custom song folder.

• Where are my highscores saved? How do I reset them?

Look for "scores0", "scores1", or "scores2" in your Deltarune save folder depending on what save slot you played them on.

• Can you make a tutorial video?

I'd like to eventually.

• There's a chart I want to play that doesn't have a .neo!

If the chart is made for Enhanced Rhythm Songs or Enhanced Rhythm Songs Updated you are able to import it as you would a neo chart. Read the instructions above or in the README for specifics. If there are any other chart loaders you would like support for let me know.

• Is there controller support?

Not yet, sorry.

• How do I use Ralsei's "sing_rude" animations?

Pressing CTRL + LMB on a vocal note in the editor will set that note to use the sprite.

• How do I delete a time signature / bpm change?

Set it to the same thing as the previous ts/bpm change.

• Can I set my chart's sign/symbol to the vanilla ones?

Yes! Instead of the file name you can write "guitar", "tenna", "queen", and "rune" to use the pre-existing symbols.
