[Singles flopping radically. Again.]

Hey, hope you are doing alright Mark. I have faced a bug I'm assuming where my singles flop even with good rep, good ratings. This is with the real world 2021 mod so that might play a hand in this but here's what I am talking about. Albums are working fine but singles still garner LOW HOPE even with promotions while the A.I gets top bar filled. Please fix the hype system.

Damn, you made a photos folder too?? Where can i donate-

[Real World 21]

Maybe I can make a photo folder to add photos to the artists to go along with this.

Yes, it works! You just have to name the pic file the same way your auditioned artist is named and it will show up on your artist profile even if the game is open! You can also change pictures by replacing them in the folder but the game must be closed otherwise Windows won’t allow the file change since it’s being used in that very moment

yeah i just tested it today, i was thinking if they were asking can you change it in game like music wars empire but yeah you can change it. Thanks

Does that work if you made them from a audition? 

Nope so maybe mark can allows us to change the pfp mid-game. 

[Being able to change your singer or band picture]

You can actually already do that by going to C:\Program Files (x86)\The Road 2 Success Game\Images\Photos and insert a photo of the artist with their exact name.

I had to slow down the mod in the last 3 days due to work with my master's degree, but today I will come back with the changes and now I hope it will be released with everything I planned until next Saturday.  For now, the mod has 1090 artists/bands (437 from North America, 220 from Europe, 197 from South America & Caribbean, 178 from Asia, 48 from Oceania and 10 from Africa) and I still got one list with 722 artists/bands to add (will be added slowly in Version 1 and later in Version 2).

If you have any suggestion about sales numbers, please feel free to tell me

Maybe adjust chinese sales, it's always bothered me in game how low the sales are for china, taylor swift sold over 300,000 units in china with her album in a week.

@Mark just in case you needed a save for my problem also

[Bug sales]

@marchio

there is a huge bug in the sales data, the first one I found in the albums but unfortunately I don't have the screens and it is the following:
- once I open the game the sales of the disc decrease for example: yesterday I left the game with the disc that had sold about 20,500 copies, today I reopen it and I find that the copies of the disc have decreased by 200-300 copies.

while the second error I found is with the singles, as you can see from the screens these are the data from the first week of sale ... on the one hand it gives me that I have sold almost 10 thousand copies and therefore it should be 1st, but in the ranking tells me it has sold 1,800 copies

i have the same bug where i call it 1st week sales bug where you get a lot of sales but it doesnt transfer to the game charts.

If you need any assistance, feel free to dm me!

I dont think this screen is doing the financies justice. The streaming platforms dont pay out much to the artist. The rates are very low. I'll see what I can do here.

Thats not what i mean. The bug is that i got 5 million sales in one day but the game interpreted it as 1.2 million in the single tabs, ill show my save.

[Sales Bug 1st week.]

I run into this bug constantly when i get an immense amount of sales on the first week but it doesnt convey to the actual stats like this week or in the financial tab

[Award Shows completely unrealistic]

Notice how whitney houston doesnt even get nominated for best album any despite having the most sales in America and worldwide and having tremendous quality. She even loses best female to manjari minall who doesnt even have 3 million sales and has lower quality and popularity. 

[Award Shows completely unrealistic]

I get that my artist won't win every award because that's the real world but to not win a single grammy with these big numbers, impact and amazing quality. I should have least won one of those awards. I will show pictures of comparison below.

When you import what are you import what to what?

Fixed bug with production melodies and commercial.

I made a new database since It was blank, i imported the realartist database to it, and it bugs where tv shows duplicate, i cant build distribution facilities. etc

[No hype]

@Markhype is still unreliable. I do promotions and my bar still stays stagnant

10 singles later, my latest song flopped harder than ever before.

Debuting at 1 then out of the top 100 on the 2nd week. Happened in most countries throughout the 6 continents.

What's surprising is that this is my best effort till date: Lyric (99), Melody (96) and Commercial (98).

 

 

 

Mark said he fixed my issue, possibly its the same issue where singles are radically flopping and might be fixed next patch. Btw is your albums still charting as usual? because ive find that my singles flop and my albums continue to go as usual.

[Can't modify production commercial/melodies]

I've figured out something seems like whenever i import a database to another databease, it bugs everything. So i get duplicate tv shows, cant build distribution facilities. I tested modifying the production commercial/melodies and it worked on the original database but when i import it to another database, it bugs. 

[Can't modify production commercial/melodies]

Hey, I've noticed that you changed it to lock production melodies/commercial if they don't have the "can produce" button, the problem is after I click "can produce" on i still cant modify the commercial/melodies data
