Looking at that, I sometimes have no clue what to do, but this is my theory.

00000000 = Eigth notes (because there are eight columns)
0000 = quarter notes
Now many of you obviously know that 4=left, 6=right, 8=up, and 2=down.
But what does that "7" stand for?

Acceptable solution: Taking close observation, that number on the NUMPAD is diagonal up-left, which means it is between 4 and 8, so it is an up-left jump.

How do you make left-right jumps?: Well, I'm not sure, but maybe a 5 on the numpad will do.

In fact, I may do a test on it right now.

0=blank space
Amount of numbers per line=how the measure is subdivided, 8 numbers is 8th notes, 16 is 16ths, etc.
4268=singletaps
1793=jumps
A=left right jump
B=up down jump
I forget how to do mines and holds and **** but that's the basics

Yo dore thanks a bunch!

Note: that is why I called my dwi thing a THEORY, not a TRUE thing.

dore > .dwi files don't support mines

Do you know what these lines mean? Is the second line there 24ths? And what significance do the "!" have in the line? Are those what are used for holds?

I wish I could understand dwi files. Maybe there's a site I can google, but I'm too lazy at present. Maybe I'll look tomorrow.

Re: .dwi files theory

Who cares to understand .dwi files when you have .sm files.

I can be a dork about wanting to understand useless and obsolete things. Also, I heard that BPMguy isn't allowed to use Stepmania for whatever reason, so I guess he's trying to help those who also can't use it.
Still, I don't know how much can be accomplished on Notepad. Oh wait, there IS my llama song. That was notepad. My best file ever.

Re: .dwi files theory

But FFr needs dwi files, not just sm files, right

[ducky285]

Re: .dwi files theory

Not sure, but you'd only need one or the other on SM. If you have an .sm, you don't need a .dwi.

SM files do everything DWI files do and more. If FFR uses SM files, then DWIs are essentially obsolete unless you still use Dance With Intensity.

Re: .dwi files theory

FFR requires dwis
SM saves as both so it doesn't matter which you use as long as you have SM

If you don't have SM DL XStep or something.
If you can't get that don't bother because you'll never get a file accepted without playtesting it.
