Convert Ultrastar karaoke files to ASS files
npm install ultrastar2assThis is a converter for Ultrastar karaoke format to ASS, written in nodeJS.
Ultrastar is a popular open karaoke game, and has a wide variety of syllable-timed karaokes.
These karaokes can now be converted to ASS easily and implemented in projects like Karaoke Mugen
Ultrastar2ASS uses code from SyllableJS. I couldn't include the module properly and didn't need everything from it, so I just handpicked the Ultrastar code and fixed a thing or two on it.
Run npm install -g ultrastar2ass to install as a global module (and get the CLI version)
Run npm install ultrastar2ass to install as a module for your project.
As a module here's the method to use it :
#### convertToASS(txt: string, options: {object})
Returns a correctly formatted ASS file as a string. You need to provide the contents of the ultrastar TXT file as the first parameter and options as the second one.
Options are valide SyllableJS options :
``JS`
{
syllable_precision: boolean,
offset: number
start_as_previous_end: boolean
}
You might want to set syllable_precision to true to get syllable-timed karaoke instead of sentence-timed karaoke
The CLI version is used as follows :
`sh`
ultrastar2ass myfile.txt
It produces an ASS file on stdout.
If you wish to build from source, use npm run-script build to get standard JS in the dist folder.
You can test code with the txt file included in the test directory :
`sh``
node dist/index.js test/jojo.txt
node dist/index.js test/la_despedida.txt --encoding=latin1
