DP's harder to FC because of the ending, RATO is overall more difficult, vRofl has them both beat

I also find Radioheads really tiring.

Behan should've cut the song, since the song repeats itself numerous times. If anyone else made a simfile like that, it'd be rejected for length. The song itself is awesome. Length is the only reason why I still have a BF on that simfile.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

Stepmania isn't meant to emulate the feel of playing any particular instrument, but the feel of replicating the song as a whole. If that makes any sense

Patashu, I love you, but saying "Stepmania is made to do this" makes you look like an elitist. No offense. It does though.

Stepmania is a game. Games are made to be fun (and often times challenging too). Trying to put a black and white definition on how people are supposed to design fun doesn't work because everyone does it differently. Files exist in this world that have virtually no PR that are still a lot of fun to me. Files exist in this world that have practically perfect PR that aren't much fun at all to me. And for each person, the definition of "fun to me" changes.

So, yeah, saying Stepmania is "made to emulate the song as a whole" isn't really a global definition, it's just the policy you personally use to step your files.

Stepmania is a dance simulation game. However else you would like to think of it is up to your own interpretation.

My example of too much PR would be OMW v2. Creates some awkward patterns and nonintuitive stuff.

For files like these having awkward patterns (aka too much PR) is ok, since piano players don't think chopin's music is bad because of its requirement of awkward finger/hand movement.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

haha what?


that doesn't make any sense at all

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

sona: It's awkward to play it on the piano so that justifies the awkward patterns, duh.

That just makes it hard to appreciate, jx.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

Is it me or is mw v2 insanely off sync?

[jimerax]

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

That's what absolute PR is meant to be, it perfectly makes sense

ps it could be a bit off on FFR due to gap/conversion issue, but from what I've heard sync is ok.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

i mean the notes are off by a good half a second if not more

it doesnt just seem to be mw v2 but all the files with bpm changes. they all seem to be off o.o



could be vista

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

You're on Vista and you're talking about sync?? Dude, everything is offsync in Vista.

stepmania is an art form

How true this is. Some people can't draw worth a ****. Some people can't write worth a ****. Some people can't step worth a ****. But they all think they can!

Man, how true this is.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

everything is off sycn but not by ****ing half a second lol

That's weird, after the dwi is converted to a flash file FFR engine doesn't calculate BPM changes at all. It just reads the location of arrows by the frame number.

Re: Ingame Songs/Stepfiles Discussion Thread

i dunno but two other people that i asked to check also agreed that the song was off by a lot
