Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

dore, you are our new judge!! No more judges now, 5 max. We do need graphics. Halogen, that's a good idea, include that if you want.

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

We should get Kommisar to add super amazing graphics.

Lol Dreamer's Overture has like no repetative-ness. Its like Dream Theater's beats. >.<

EDIT: Good, dore is a judge.

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

I know I'm not a judge but I'm going to review anyways.

EnR's files seemed like a tiny bit of a keyboard file, here's the reason. On a drum kit your cymbals, hi hat, snare drum, bass drum etc are all in a set position. It seemed like you would take your charts and have, say, a 4/4 hi hat snare bass beat. Boom kah boom kah, simple? In this case of stepping the hi hat would be the inner left arrow, snare would be the outer left arrow and bass is the center. It would seem though that you would do that, but then later move it up one, making snare drum inner left, etc. If you were making it change to the ride, ride cymbal will always be far right in the regular kit, so ride cymbal should stay on the outer right arrow. Both files had this problem. If you were to fix up I think they would be better IMO. good job nonetheless.

dore seemed to have a better idea on the fixed kit thing. {I Don't Need You Anymore} was quite hard but it went with the beat. (Man that hi hat is crazy) Unexpected Relapses was pretty hard but quite fun. Double bass errg. Feel Good Hit of the Summer was, as you said, bland. But it was accurate. Good job.

customstuff... What were you thinking when you stepped Chillin with Villian? Its like a keyboard file, I know you were aiming for it to be hard but this is over the top. No drum beat is like this.

Sorry, I was just bored and felt like reviewing. 8)

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

I don't recall moving the snare beat to a diff note other then the far left ?_?

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

Every judge: Don't play Mirrors Truth and Instrum. Section. they don't have the kick pedal yet xD

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

Oh... that may have been the problem EnR. I played it on PIU. xD

I got the files by getting into the e-mail. Wait. Isn't the e-mail for judges only? o.O

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

Hmm, I started thinking about the overdrive sections that I said last night, and I'm starting to wonder how that would look with Dore's noteskins. And 3.9 version has the noteskins fixed for the defaults so that it doesn't look like two arrows when you have a freeze. Not sure how that will work, so I'm not going to do it...yet.

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

Yeah, just don't worry about it for now, since it's just Stepmania we'll probably have to skip it.

also I suck at making Pump noteskins apparently; damn you SM

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

I'll see if Tera or Mac G can make us a good noteskin.

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

Did some more reviews.

Also, sending 4 files.

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

I think my file might have too many beats on one note--cause I'm making a drum chart for "The Light that Blinds". Since the song called for straight 16th kicks, I made it so that it plays as if it were toms--but it still IS straight 16th notes...can the drums handle that when playing on SM?

Re: Stepmania Drum Pack

customstuff, I only have a single soft pedal, with duct tape, how can I judge files with double pedal or even just fast pedal.

Take out the left foot. Basically, make it 8th notes on the kick.

I think I'll write a guide on chart making soon, maybe today. Who knows how bored I'll get.
