Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I actually agree with that - I've got a lot of a files queued up that'll take months just to submit (not counting any re-sends). I'm not a simfile author, but I believe that if a person can prove that they can make a good enough simfile to get past the judges and you, they should be allowed to submit more files, given that they will likely be of a higher quality than a person who has not.

However, Tass is right - 300 did suck.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

The beginning of 300 wasn't stepped to its full potential and should of. Robert generalized the section when he should of stepped that portion of the song like a hardhouse song with including all the drum elements. Thats the only thing that pisses me off about that file Everything else seemed fine for me except some small parts that I would of changed.

Guess its time to get off WOW and start editing my 2 files.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

I'm sorry, but I LOVE 300, if you ask me the worst file ever to get past modern judging is by far 3 ring nightfall, I have no idea what half the **** in that song goes to, it's sooo off beat, horrible file

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

300 is fun. It's nothing spectacular but it's fun.

Bynary, you can submit extra files when you get a reputation for consistently making good files, because the judges will know that everything you send will be at least decent quality. It's all about reputation.

That is exactly right. Those who are allowed to submit more than 2-3 files have proven that they can consistently make quality files. That is why guys like behan, dore, etc have 5-6 files approved by blu in this one batch... or, namely, 75%+ of the files they submitted.

The average acceptance rate is around 30-35%, and that includes the 75%+ of the top guys. The acceptance rate of the non-top guys has to be closer to 10-15%.

There is a distinct difference in consistent quality between those who we know can make quality files and those who we don't know. Over time, the more files you make and the more blu and jx can help you to improve (plus others, of course)... the better you'll get and the higher your acceptance rate will be.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

hmm.. 5/7 isn't that bad.

Guess easy files are judged more leniently.

What about TMwT?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Dammit, I just realized that I didn't save my last change to Refraction. The BPM should be 61.99, if that's the file you're having a problem with, it should be perfectly on sync at 61.99.

I'm actually starting to see this myself. My first set of submissions got all rejects, then my second set got a queue, and this one got approved by Blu; all I did was keep in mind the things that the judges didn't like. Meh--it helps a lot when you have people to tell you exactly what's wrong.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

xander: easier files will get in more readily because they are less complex. there are fewer things you can screw up on.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

Also, I've said this before but once jx is done and Tass posts the notes, I'll gladly go over stuff with your file if you disagree with anything I said or you want me to elaborate.

AIM is the best way to corner me, not PMs.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

FFR can have stops?

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread

FFR can have stops?

I'm pretty sure it can - since FFR technically runs on a C-mod, stops are treated in a similar fashion to BPM changes in that you will never notice them - it'll just space the arrows further apart.

However, looking through batch notes, the judges seem to frown upon using stops for syncing something that drifts offbeat.
