Easy Simfile Maker

[Cloud_Unchained]

I remember a program being released a while back that created simfiles by letting the music play and having you hit the keys while it played. I seem to have forgotten the name of the program and the site where it can be downloaded from.

I only used it because I was to lazy to make a real simfile, so I used that program to make the .sm file and I would edit it in Stepmania.

You're talking about XStep. Unfortunately, you cannot see what you're recording.

You can do it in Stepmania

Pres Ctrl+R to start recording. Hit F1 for help. It doesn't hurt to explore.

I know the Stepmania Editor has a feature like that, but I'd have to create a .sm file in notepad, and being the lazy idiot I am, I don't want to.

You won't progress anywhere if you prefer to be like that.

This is the EASIEST way so far.

-.- why are you asking then?

It is so simple to make .sm. For beginners way to do it is.

Note: This the syntax/codes of the .sm
#command:filename.extention;

1. copy a .sm from another simfile

2. paste it on your new simfile folder
eg.
C:\Program Files\StepMania\Songs\My Simfiles\Your new simfile

3. Put your music (.mp3 or .ogg or .wav) in your new simfile folder.

4. Copy the filename of your .mp3 or .ogg or .wav
eg.
Haruhi ep12 - god knows.mp3

5. Open .sm as Notepad. just change this line. To your music filename.
eg.
#MUSIC:Haruhi ep12 - god knows.mp3;

5a.optional. You can change the artist and song title from there to.
#TITLE:Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu EP12 Insert Song; <-- song title
#SUBTITLE:God Knows...; <--- Subtitle. The words between song title and Artist Name
#ARTIST:Hirano Aya; <-- Artist Name

5b.optional. You can change your bg, banner and cdtitle
#BANNER:Haruhi God Knows Banner.png;
#BACKGROUND:Suzumiya Haruhi Inserts BG1.jpg;
#CDTITLE:Jubo.png;

Straight forward... Just read what it say in #Command and just change the filename.extention in between these area --> : Between HERE ;

6. Now as Akira said:

You're talking about XStep. Unfortunately, you cannot see what you're recording.

You can do it in Stepmania

Press Ctrl+R to start recording. Hit F1 for help. It doesn't hurt to explore.

Remember. It is common Knowledge. Making something you must give some effort on it.
So, if you want to make simfile... You must give some effort into it. Go beyond the call of laziness.
