When we create our own user RealDrums styles with variations, where have we to input our data in order to get the information in the 5th panel of the RealDrums picker ? This panel is used to get more details about each RealDrums variation. See attached view for more details.
››CBluesShuffle^ A standard shuffled Blues rhythm, recorded at 100 and 130 BPMs. The style offers six variations, which are different combinations of the two main grooves: A - HiHat, Snare. B - Ride, Snare. C - HiHat, Sidestick. D - Ride, Sidestick. You can use it with shuffled Blues, Country or even Jazz tunes.

Add your drums to the bottom of the DrumStylesInfo2.txt
Pipeline, Thanks for your input, but I precise my question : I know where to insert data in the required .txt files. The question is where to insert data in any .txt in order to get additional info for each variation, as shown in my attached view, in the bottom panel of the RealDrums picker. Presently, when you insert data in the RDUserMemos.txt, they appear in the User comments panel.
For a PG Music RealDrums style with variation, when you click on a variation (in the Variation panel), you get additional information in the bottom panel. That is what I'm looking for.
EDIT: found the data in the bottom pic in \bb\DrumGrooveNames.txt
Code:
1*SideStick, HiHat @Kick is played on the beat with the sidestick playing on
the eighth note with a hihat playing throughout
2*Snare @Kick is played on the beat with the snare playing on the eighth
note with a hihat playing throughout
3*Ride @Kick is played on the beat with the snare playing on the eighth note
with a ride playing throughout
Country2Beat16^
Country2Beat16^\Country2Beat16^1-Sidestick,Snare$1$2
Country2Beat16^\Country2Beat16^2-Sidestick,Ride$1$3
Country2Beat16^\Country2Beat16^3-Snare,Ride$2$3
You can add it to the RDPGMemos.txt that way you will get a popup on click, as the User Comments RDUserMemos.txt don't have that luxury and is very crammed.
If you are creating an installer you can use a script to append the text to the file.
Thanks, exactly what I was looking for. It works fine. The only trick is to create a DrumGrooveUserNames.txt file to store our own data, because when PG Music updates its DrumGrooveNames.txt, user data may be deleted.
Yes good idea, you can create a DrumGrooveUserNames.txt that you write the data to as well as DrumGrooveNames.txt then when PG update DrumGrooveNames.txt you can make a bat file to copy all the text from DrumGrooveUserNames.txt to append DrumGrooveNames.txt
UserDrumGrooveUpdate.bat
Code:
type DrumGrooveUserNames.txt >> DrumGrooveNames.txt
