Re: Stops and negative BPMs

i think its f9 and f10 to add a stop

negative bpm, it depends on the song

Re: Stops and negative BPMs

stops = F9/F10

don't know exactly how negative bpm works, since it gets buggy on my crappy sm.

also moved this to sm et al.

Re: Stops and negative BPMs

negative bpm: make a bpm change then make the bpm normal where you want it to end, save, load the .sm file in notepad/text editor of choice, locate the bpm change, make it any negative value, save, in stepmania select reload from disk, bam

when you hit the negative bpm you are teleported to the next positive bpm bypassing all notes

a negative stop works similarly, it jumps ahead in the chart by how many seconds the negative stop lists

PS negative bpms/stops do not work in stepmania 4.0 afaik, they may or may not work in 3.95 but they definitely do in 3.9

Re: Stops and negative BPMs

Just be sure that when you include pauses you don't compromise the alignment of the notes. Frequently people do this and then try to compensate by using incorrect notes instead of adjusting the the pause which caused it in the first place.

Re: Stops and negative BPMs

those you need to go in notepad. jenovasephiroth taught me how to make them (if you've ever played his v^3 file it's a freaking minus bpm stop nightmare)

Skipped arrows still count towards score. So, you know, don't abuse it

Re: Stops and negative BPMs

Negative BPMS/Stops are pretty cool if you use them right. (see: JS's V^3 simfile)
As defined by the SM developers. Negative BPM/Stops is a glitch in the SM source code which was fixed in SM4CVS/SVN. So thats sims with neg bpms/stops don't work.

Though you can perform skips in SM4 Using megaBPM (~200,000bpm)
