Wow. Help.

[alainbryden]

I just realised I have no Idea how to begin making a stepfile. Can anyone help me? I don't know how to make one in notepad, which is what I've been trying to do based on what's in other .dwi's. Can someone tell me how I can make them? Even if it means downloading a program.

Making a DWI in Notepad?

Timing

(), {}, [] = 16th, 32nd, and 64th notes respectively.
No parentheses / brackets / braces = 8th notes

Arrows

0 = blank
1 = down-left
2 = down
3 = down right
4 = left
6 = right
7 = up-left
8 = up
9 = up right
A = up - down
B = left right

That's all I know, I don't know freeze arrows or BPM changes or other things but if you're making it for FFR that's all you need to know, right? It's all I knew when I made mine

Yes I am a stepfile newb

[altairian]

it's a ton easier to just use the SM editor...

[alainbryden]

what about triples and holds?
XD don't worry, I don't plan on using them

and if I make a basic file. ie:
#TITLE:Foreplay;
#ARTIST:Sir Nicksalot;
#FILE:Foreplay.mp3;
#BPM:134.000;
#GAP:0;
#SAMPLESTART:0.000;
#SAMPLELENGTH:10.000;
#SINGLE:SMANIAC:1:
;

Can I finish the rest in StepMania DWI Editor?

Freeze arrows = 2!2000002, 4!4000004, etc.

BPM changes = ...Well, here's an example.

#BPM:80.000;
#GAP:83;
#SAMPLESTART:16.003;
#SAMPLELENGTH:12.000;
#CHANGEBPM:96.000=239.901,200.000=182.400,240.000=230.901,332.000=252.101,342.000=229.700,356.000=226.320,376.000=215.320,398.000=274.400,592.000=280.420,704.000=209.500,750.000=159.400,914.000=153.820;
#SINGLE:MANIAC:8:

Where the first number is the beat the BPM changes on, and the second is the BPM it changes to.

Yeah, that's a DWI I'm working on. It's a bitch to sync.

Oh, and <19> is a quad. Dunno what triples are.

I'm sure that saying EXACTLY the same thing I did made a difference.

[DeepBlueSea]

and.....clear your cache.

[jimerax]

(), {}, [] = 16th, 32nd, and 64th notes respectively.
No parentheses / brackets / braces = 8th notes

I think

nothing = 8th
() = 16th
[] = 24th
{} = 64th
`' = 192th

[Brainmaster07]

`' = 192th

and if I make a basic file. ie: 
#TITLE:Foreplay; 
#ARTIST:Sir Nicksalot; 
#FILE:Foreplay.mp3; 
#BPM:134.000; 
#GAP:0; 
#SAMPLESTART:0.000; 
#SAMPLELENGTH:10.000; 
#SINGLE:SMANIAC:1: 
; 

Can I finish the rest in StepMania DWI Editor?

Yeah, or you could just simplify it a bit:

#TITLE:Foreplay;
#ARTIST:Sir Nicksalot;
#BPM:134.000;
#GAP:0;
#SINGLE:SMANIAC:1:
;

The rest are automatic, but whatever.
