Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

For now you can only send fixes of queue'd files.

a few more comments on conditional files.

[Aim Burst]
I say songcut isn't mandatory if you can avoid repetitiveness more without it (I think it's by far the most effective way though).
Also, I think long JS/streams in that file don't match the song too well.

[Distorted God]
some hands/quads are put on not very intense parts, or make some awkward patterns.
also putting constant triplet 16ths on hihats isn't a very good way imo,

For other borderline/queue'd files, I think most files have room for improvement too.
Getting a file on the queue isn't really a goal, so keep up the good work on files.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

Do we need to name the folder something like "[Fix]>Nameoffile<(simartist)" then?

And is the simfile going to be rejudged and replaced with the already queued file?


I'll get to some pattern fixtures and such right now

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

Every file that doesn't receive multiple [++]s has room for improvement. If you think a queued file should be fixed up before being ingame, you should put it in the conditional queue - that's what it's for. If you don't, there's a pretty good chance it won't get fixed. Keep in mind that conditional queue is basically "semi-rejected", i.e. if the file doesn't get fixed properly it will never get into the game. So a full reject is basically saying "even with fixes this wouldn't be suitable for the game".

Getting a file on the queue isn't really a goal

What do you mean by this?


Also, I'm wondering what's the deal with judges being so harsh about these borderline files. How is a file getting like 15-16/20 and then having almost half of the judges say "there is no way this belongs in the game, even if you fixed all the problems"? Something's really wrong here.

Yes, that's clear (also the e-mail title and file name).

And is the simfile going to be rejudged and replaced with the already queued file?

The file will be quick-reviewed, but usually it will be just replaced.
If you make really big change on the file and it causes some issues, the fix can be refused.

qqwref: I meant simfilers should keep polishing the file until it is released, as far as possible.
The goal is getting positive opinions for your file(s) from many people, not just from judges.
If a queue'd file has objectively serious issues (dropped notes, syncing, huge difficulty spikes, severe PR errors etc), it will be moved to conditional, otherwise it won't usually.

Agreed completely on the patterns. I've already cut the song for him, and it still sounds great however, so I think it'll be easier for him to make things less repetitive.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

So thanks to bmah and TC_Halogen for the complete overhaul of -Glorious Morning- and when I say complete overhaul, I mean sitting for hours on AIM with bmah and AJ probably spending hours on a full BPM fix that was even beyond his imagination. Literally took the song and chart, turned it inside-out and got it fixed. Simfile surgery. We'll find out soon enough if it was successful.

So since no one is answering this question and now I'd like it answered, I'll quote it.

does an artist that has 1 song in queue (or in game, if that changes anything) still considered as new?

Waterflame has nothing in game at the moment but [I think] they might have 1 in queue to go in. Would that still consider them new and be eligible for the new artist batch?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2

Just a question, I don't know if it relates to this thread, but, when will we be expecting this week's songs to come out? I mean it is almost Saturday, so they are coming soon, right?

I think we've all been preoccupied with other things to worry about getting new songs out on time =x
