.sm to .dwi converter

[Fission]

current progress:

http://pastebin.com/yf013znn

standalone executable:
here

this script is now fully functional, but assumes you have only tap steps; no special kinds of taps. make sure you have the executable located in the root directory of the files you want to convert.

todo:
- erroneous .sm file checking.
- command line support for more features.

known issues:
- certain characters in filenames on non-english locales will cause the converter to crash.
- converter must be run in administrator mode or a .dwi will not be generated.

Re: .sm to .dwi converter

i ended up finding a website with better info to get started than the SM website, guess i don't have any questions for now. will post again if anything pops up though.

http://pastebin.com/YeAFpYfN making some progress. this isn't nearly as hard as i thought it was going to be. lua's string library makes parsing a breeze.

Re: .sm to .dwi converter

this is sick and is made iller by the fact that you're using a file of mine as a reference

Re: .sm to .dwi converter

thanks for the support, guys :)

another update, using a file with all different kinds of notes to make sure i have exhaustive enough testing. sooo close, but can't figure out what is wrong atm. here is the note section for two DWIs:

correct - http://pastebin.com/Gb5MiB4E
mine - http://pastebin.com/SBeRn7s0

keep in mind, the different symbols between both the "correct" version and my version are equivalent. for example, <81> and <A4> are exactly the same thing.

Re: .sm to .dwi converter

just posting to say that this is still an active project for me.

with the test file i have been using, i have successfully converted a .sm file to a .dwi file with no errors. i am going to do some more extensive testing tomorrow on multiple files to make sure there is still no conversion errors.

there is still some work to be to done to get this ready to be distributed as a user-friendly executable though. i need to figure out some way to package this into a single executable as well as convert any .sm file in the same directory, not just one of a specific name.
