Build A Simfile From Scratch. Help Needed Please

[Fox83]

Hello everyone.

It's been a long time since I've made a simfile and I need a refresher course on how to make one. I have the MP3 of the song I wish to make a simfile for already. I want to know how to get the BPM for it and turn it into a DWI that I can make steps for on StepMania. One thing is, I am working on an older computer that is running off of Window's ME so I need to be able to use programs that are compatible with that operating system. I'd appreciate any help on this subject.

If there is already a thread that deals with this topic, Please forgive me. I tried doing various searches in this forum to make sure that I wasn't asking a question that had already been asked.

Thank you in advance to anyone who leaves any information or helpful notes on this topic. Hope to be adding new simfiles on here soon.

Google "MixMeister BPM Analyzer", a tool that finds the BPM for tracks with a single constant BPM.

DWI's are just text files. Take one from another song and open it in notepad. Delete the steps; which are all the numbers after the header, and eadit the tags in the header to your liking. DOn't remove the important punctuation) Then rename your dwi file and put it, and the mp3, into your songs folder like a normal song.

Kthx.

I think we need a tutorial thread. Agree?
