CustomHero

I'm happy to announce that we do have our first batch of new reviewers in place. This doesn't mean that we are not taking applications. The newest staff joining us include:

HellAshes
Chil
acra
GuitarZero132
xbillax

Due to the size of the current review queue, and the length of time that many charts have been in there we are going to be looking to trim the review queue down a bit. Over the weekend, I will be emailing anyone who has charts currently submitted to the queue. We are reducing the maximum number of charts you can have in the review queue at the same time from 3 charts down to a single chart. Upon receiving the email, you have until Sunday, December 28th to let us know that you are still around and interested in having your chart reviewed. If you have multiple charts in the queue currently, you will need to select one to keep in the queue, and the others will be removed. Once your chart passes review, or you remove it, you may submit a new chart.

Customhero was originally designed to be a place where you could find only the best of quality charts, with all charts requiring review by staff members before being posted.

Due to the current staff on CustomHero being too overworked to really get things done for the site, we are looking to recruit some fresh staff members in order to revitalize the site.

We are taking a step back from the staff charts on the site, and focusing solely on user reviews for now. If given a position on the site, your job will be to work on reviewing user submitted charts and working with the users to bring the chart up to site standards so it may be released.

In order to apply for a staff position please contact elx via PM on Scorehero to let him know you are interested. There will be 2 sections for the application, a charting test and a reviewing test.

For the charting portion, you need to complete a chart that would be tier 6 material or higher on all difficulties and including coop. We aren't only interested in stupidly hard charts, we are looking to see your ability to chart in general.

For the reviewing portion, you will be given a chart that we have tampered with to mess certain parts up on purpose. You will need to look overall at the chart and find the issues and offer suggestions to fix them.

User Submissions are now live! Along with direct indexing integration with the newly released ScoreHero customs index (which has all the customs from the Custom Song forums ALREADY indexed.... which is why it took 6 months...).

You will need to verify your ScoreHero account before you can submit charts, as the system JC and I have in place keeps both indexes updated and in sync with each other. Please do so if you haven't already on the right ------> Once done, that spot becoems a link to "Manage Your Charts". Everything from there is pretty self explanitory.

If you already have songs indexed on ScoreHero and wish to submit it to chnet, please go and edit the info there and check off "submit to CustomHero". That will automatically send it here, and link the info between the sites.

For more info on all the indexes, please check the thread on ScoreHero here: http://www.scorehero.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=49374

Hi and welcome to CustomHero.net, the premier website to customize your own version of Guitar Hero. Whether you're new to the custom song scene or a long time user, CustomHero.net will help make your custom chart experience fun and easy. Here at CustomHero.net we're raising the bar; setting a whole new standard of custom chart making. Don't have enough chops to tackle expert difficulty? Don't worry. Songs from CustomHero.net will have ALL difficulties. Tired of your custom songs being out of sync, off beat, or missing notes? CustomHero.net's staff will make sure that 100% of our charts are BPM and time signature matched and the notes you see on the screen actually flow with the music.

You might be wondering how CustomHero.net can do all this legally. We are taking every precaution available to ensure that this project protects the Intellectual Property Rights of all parties involved with Guitar Hero, including but not limited to: RedOctane, Harmonix, WaveGroup, Neversoft, Activision, and MTV. Only music that we have gained permission to use and distribute shall be available. You see, we hope to make CustomHero.net a vehicle for indie bands to get their music out there and listened to by a wider audience. In time we even hope to have artist spotlights complete with interviews of some of the hottest up and coming bands. They give us the master tracks, we make the charts, and you put it in your game. It's that simple. Plans are also in the works with Guitar Hero Explorer creator, katamakel, to have some support for CustomHero.net so putting your very own custom songs in Guitar Hero will be easier than ever.

We know this is all very exciting for the custom song player but don't think we've forgotten about all the charters out there. Sure, CustomHero.net will have it's own staff of experienced custom song makers but we're not going to ignore the amateurs. We encourage anyone to take a crack at making up their own custom charts! Users will be able to submit midi data, along with as much information regarding the track used, for staff to put against our standards. If your chart meets regulations then it will be added to the customs database for downloading (music included ONLY if legal permission is provided.)

As you can see, there's a lot in the works for CustomHero.net and things are only going to get bigger and better. Keep an eye on this site for some big changes. Thanks for dropping by and we appreciate your continued support.
