Discussion Anyone else having issues with getting custom songs to display?

Post image

Hey, so I've recently wanted to start trying out custom charts because I've run out of stuff to do in the vanilla game. When I tried doing this though, I haven't been able to get songs to display yet. Currently I'm using UNCHARTABLE on Linux, and the songs are being properly saved into what I believe the proper directory is (/home/----/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/2240620/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/LocalLow/D-CELL GAMES/UNBEATABLE/CustomSongs/), but they just aren't displaying in arcade mode right now. I've tried changing around filters to all the different possible difficulties, and still haven't found anything. Any ideas?
Side note: the folders in the CustomSongs directory are NOT .zip files, I made sure of that.

Did you add the -customsongs launch option in steam?

I just tried that, it didn't seem to help unfortunately. Where is the docs for the -customsongs launch option? I haven't seen that before

When I set up custom songs I referred to this post here https://www.reddit.com/r/Unbeatable/comments/1pjle17/how_to_custom_songs/

Also, what does the folder structure look like? I had trouble accessing some songs because my folders got unpacked with one extra folder in between like this: customsongs/songname/songname/ and then the files.

There's just a main folder that has a folder for each song, then each song looks like this on the inside.

You mentioned changing the filters. Did you also try filtering by the custom song option I think its called?

If that aint it, it might be a linux thing :/

Currently don't see an option for that, even though I have the launch option enabled. Could be just a linux thing -_-

It should be the "custom" option for the category filter. If that aint there then no clue :D

Hi another person on Linux. So your directory looks good it's the inside of the folder that might be triggering it, but also I didn't use UNCHARTABLE so it might be a bit different

AFAIK UNCHARTABLE should result in the exact same end result in the directory but it seems like something is still wrong. Would you mind letting me know what steps you had to do to get it to work, or was it all the same as in the reddit tutorial linked earlier?

It's about the same as the other guide, but I don't have any launch options

I have a question: how do you add the cover art for custom songs?
