    How to author your Simfiles.

    In order to make sure that somebody knows YOU (and your buddies) have made the Simfile, we recommend that you put in the name of the person who made the step charts in the Description section in the Steps Information menu:

    To do this, while you are currently editing a song in Edit/Sync Steps mode, press the ESC key and select the Edit Steps Information command, then select the Description field and type in your name.

    As for the rest of the helpers of the simfile, the GFX makers and BGAnimators and etc., they can be put in the #CREDITS section. You can put in the stepper's name in there also if your want. The most important piece of the Simfile is always, ALWAYS the Description field. Why? Because a person who creates step charts for a simfile creates a name for him/her self, something that people should see and trust in case of emergency (that is, if you can't step it, he/she can). RoXoR games created In The Groove so that when a song is introduced, and a round has started, it displays the song information. Along with that, it also introduces the difficulty that the player will be playing the song on, and the name of the person who created the step chart for THAT SPECIFIC difficulty. In other words, the Description.

    Even though Description should really mean what step charts they are, it is instead, by RoXoR's method, the name of the step chart author.
    Yes, I'm a rookie. Do you need a rookie? I don't know how much help I can be to you.

      Exactly.

      post-dumps abstractly represent the existential nihilism that the song invokes in the listener with negative space, evoking the ephemeral nature of the mind - the journey of stepmania begins in hope yet soon becomes corroded into a dialectic of futility, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis

          Not really that complicated, but I don't really understand why we would really need to know this. cdtitle is better anyways.

            CD Titles are for one simfile artist, Descriptions are for putting in more than one. Besides, you don't see CD Titles in In The Groove. Only Descriptions.
