How to Add New Notes

assets/Free/Scripts/init.lua defines some useful functions for adding new notes. To add new notes, edit init.lua and add code to the end.

---

addTripleNotes(_soundFormat, _startId, _filenameNormal, _filenameSharp, _filenameFlat, _audioGearSymbol)

• Adds a regular triple (flat, normal, sharp) note.
  • First argument is a format string for the sound filenames that is relative to the exe file.
    • For example, "assets/Proprietary/Sound/piano_%d.wav"
      • This will load wav files that have the filename...
        • piano_.wav
    • To figure out what to do here, first find the sound files for the note you want to add in Growtopia's files.
      • Once you've done that, the files should be named something like trumpet_x.wav
        • Obviously, that's an example if Growtopia added trumpet notes.
      • Copy the new sound files to the place where the rest of the sound files are in Growtopia Music Simulator Final
        • This is ./assets/Proprietary/Sound/
      • Then, for the format string, just copy this piano one but replace "piano" with the filename of the note.
        • "assets/Proprietary/Sound/piano_%d.wav"
          • "assets/Proprietary/Sound/trumpet_%d.wav"
  • Second argument is the note ID for the first of the 3 notes. You should choose the next free note ID.
    • The guitar notes have IDs 20, 21, and 22. If I were to add a new note after guitar notes, I would put the first note ID as 23.
  • The third, fourth, and fifth arguments are the paths for the note images.
    • Paths are relative to where the exe file is.
      • Examples are:
        • "assets/Proprietary/Images/piano.png"
        • "assets/Proprietary/Images/pianoSharp.png"
        • "assets/Proprietary/Images/pianoFlat.png"
  • The sixth argument is the notes' letter in the audio gears.
    • For example, with piano this is "P", with bass this is "B", with flute this is "F".
    • You can leave this argument out if this note can't be used in the audio gear

addSingleNote(_soundFormat, _noteId, _filenameNormal)

• Adds a note that's alone, it doesn't have a sharp or flat friend.
  • _soundFormat works the same as it does in addTripleNotes, read about that.
  • _noteId works the same as it does in addTripleNotes, read about that.
  • _filenameNormal works the same as it does in addTripleNotes, read about that.
  • Example for festive/winterfest notes:
    • addSingleNote("assets/Proprietary/Sound/festive_%d.wav",19,"assets/Proprietary/Images/festive.png");

How to add a note with half as many sounds, like drums. This is rare and probably not what you want. But if it is, just copy, paste, and then edit this code:

-- do edit this
myNoteID = <whatever note ID you need to use>
myAudioGearSymbol = "<whatever audio gear symbol>"
myAudioFormatString = "assets/Proprietary/Sound/<whatever filename>_%d.wav"
myImagePath = "assets/Proprietary/Images/<whatever filename>.png"
-- dont edit this
myNoteArray = {};
myNoteArray = sortLoadedSounds(loadHalfSounds(myAudioFormatString));
addNote(myNoteID,loadImage(myImagePath),myNoteArray);
setGearInfo(myNoteID,myAudioGearSymbol,'-');
