Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

Looking back on my first two charts for this game I can see and understand the complaints. Luckily, I think my new charts are significantly and progressively more accurate and enjoyable. The only huge problem with me is going to be my insistence on keeping full length songs because I really don't think 4-5 minutes is unreasonable length for a song. I understand people hate all the 3-5 minute rock songs, but I don't mind playing them at all and don't really find the length to make things as much more tedious to AAA as most people do, and I'd rather play a challenging good 4 minute long song than a mediocre 1:30 filler song from the same album (*cough*BRICKS*cough*). I think I will definitely cut The Friendly Wolf into parts in the future and restep it to be a bit more reasonable to play though. I slowed the song to 0.25 times and the buzzing sounded like it was charted properly, but I can understand that it's not fun to play and i'll do something to make the chart more enjoyable.

Bump.

Any word on hi19's or my files that were resubs?

[M0nkeyz]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

also any estimation when the new batch will be judged? I know the tournament atm is more important, but I remember the last official was around the time the batches got so delayed.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

The tournament and the batch are not correlative to one another. Song releases were on hold because of tournament reserves, but the batch runs independently of that. It's being worked on in the back end.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

Seriously can we know what's going on with the final list of accepted files and SAP changes?
And what's going on with a bunch of re-submits from last batch not being judged?

Communication pls

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

Yeah, I'm really sorry, I know it's bad that I never said anything in this thread about that. I just didn't want to have to say that we're behind without making any progress, but ... yeah. Those two e-mails with your resubmissions were accidentally skipped over when the May/June batch was compiled, which is why AJ included them in his July/August batch image from September 7th.

BATCH IMAGE:

I know it would be unfair for you to have to wait until the next batch though, so I uploaded them and posted links for the judges back on the 24th and mentioned it a few more times in the thread and the chat, but no one's even downloaded the files yet. Sorry, I need to be more persistent.

As for the passed files, the two judges who said they would look at them both dropped out on the 2nd due to being too busy with other life things. I did post about that in the judge thread then, but I need to just ask people directly to judge things rather than wait for people to offer to help. So that's what I'm doing now.

About the ratings, I'll just post what I have soon. I'm going through all the notes for accepted files and taking note of, like, unwarranted rhythmic errors noticed by multiple judges and making a conditional queue ... so we don't have things like 3/16ths misinterpreted as 12ths getting in-game again.

Ah that's fine. Didn't realize those files were skipped, I'm actually totally fine with waiting until the next batch for them to be judged. No big deal, thanks for explaining.

I now know full well you guys are restructuring and there's a bunch of people who had to drop out unexpectedly, but I'm honestly asking more for the sake of everyone else.
Not everyone talks on Skype with half the judge team on a regular basis; people deserve to know.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

Okay since there's no point in bumping the stepcon thread I'll post here:

When are we going to learn which files the 2nd and 3rd place finishers chose to queue?
I know they might still be working on edits or something but can we at least learn what songs they are?

I really want to step one of the songs from that tournament but I also don't want to start a file just to learn halfway through that there's already a queued file for that song.

I know that TC_Halogen said he would be using This Will Be The Day, but I don't know if t-rogdor ever communicated anything.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

I'm sending my version of wheelpower and go

[XelNya]

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

These files:

[Resubmission] They Kiddnapped The Princess
La Tristesse Durera Toujours
Nightfall (Original Mix)

Where skipped or something along that line somehwhere. I've carefully checked the batch review thread like 3 times on at least 3 occasions to be absolutely sure, so something happened to these somewhere.

I can't find the sent e-mail (as lol it deletes itself.) but I am 100% sure I sent it because I sent in the monstercat song (Nightfall) during the time where the credit event was going on. If someone could figure this out if it was never sent or whatever I'd appreciate it.

Trying to figure it out now because they're sitting in my "in batch" folder which I place them there so I know what's been sent recently. I just wanna know if I need to send them another time.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

Middie I'm pretty sure those 3 files are sitting in the "still need judgements" pile.
I don't have access to the judge forum so I can't check to make sure but I'm pretty sure they each needed a few more judgments.

Oh neat.

I was just curious because I was preparing my files for this current batch period and was considering throwing Nightfall back in there if it had gotten massively overlooked / or if I had goofed up on my end (because it wouldn't surprise me too much.)

I get confused when things are in my folders where they shouldn't be. It drives me nuts XD

Same. Why do you think I've been so pushy about getting a final list of accepted/rejected files?

I hate having stuff in my "submissions" folder that should be either rejected or queued lol

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 [Regular batch: OPEN]

Ohh my gosh, wow, I'm sorry, I don't know how I missed it! Yeah, you sent an e-mail to regularffrsubmissions on June 1st with Nightfall and They Kidnapped the Princess. Soon after getting access to the e-mail, I went through and labeled everything for the two latest batches, and I totally missed this one somehow, probably because the e-mail contained files that weren't in the batch, and I didn't stop to think, "Oh wait, maybe they should be!"

I'm going to start keeping a record of all the dates for when the e-mails are open for different things, and that should help in keeping things like this from happening.

However, I'm not seeing an e-mail with La Tristesse Durera Toujours in it; the next e-mail from you I see was sent on September 4th. If maybe you sent it to the wrong address or something, you can forward that sent e-mail to here. If it was originally sent during the right time period, I can let it be judged with this batch. But for now, I will make sure that your other two files get to the judges.


Sorry I still haven't posted ratings. When going through the notes for accepted files, I keep getting stuck on my own files, feeling like I need to make all the fixes then and there. It's been more difficult than usual this time, and I shouldn't have let myself get sidetracked like that. (Also, I've been working on a number of other things and need to get back to doing this, sorry.)
