Error message in the 10.5

Trouble with Synthesia, your keyboard, or adapter? Think you found a bug?
When describing problems, always mention your OS and game version (shown at the bottom of the title screen).

If your keyboard has USB or MIDI ports, there is a tremendously high chance (>99%) it will work with Synthesia. See what you'll need on the keyboards page.

Hello,

I wanted to taste the new version and got the following message when calling up the notes - see attachment. More or less I can do something with it, I just do not realize what exactly I should enter in colors.xml.

Would be nice of you, if someone could send me an appropriate line, or which line I can use for it.

Version 10.4 works perfectly

Thanks, Karsten

That just means the new version is expecting an entry in your old colors.xml that isn't there.

Just grab the newest colors.xml (pink box, here), and search (Ctrl-F) for "notationBackground". You should just be able to copy-paste that line into your colors.xml and get one step closer to it working.

I can't remember if that was the only color added in 10.5. If it was, that will also be the only step. :D

(A better long-term answer is to become familiar with a nice, visual "diff" tool. Maybe something like the free WinMerge. That will show your version side-by-side with the new one and highlight exactly which lines are different between the two. It makes it very easy to location new/missing stuff, and you can "fix" it -- by using the other file's line -- in two clicks. That's what the "be sure to merge your changes" part means in that message.)
