Challenge Round - General Discussion, pre release.

[Aeronautical Vigilante]

Oviously, no link quite yet.

The reservations thread and rules are here:

http://bemanistyle.com/forum/showthr...1817#post91817

Chat is right here, though.

I just realized there's am ambiguity, and I sort of need to go buy my books for this semester, so until I edit the Reservations thread:

Yes, you can take a song from any OSC5 division as your Challenge Round entry for any OSC5 division. Want to do fffff for DDR? Sure. Tunak Tunak Tun for Keyboard? A couple people might hate you for it, but sure.

Please try to avoid getting insulting. Some drama in another thread may have just cost us one of the most valued judges this competition has had, so I'm not in a patient mood re: this right now.

EDIT for other ambiguities:
Yes we want you to upload the whole set (if possible) even if the only thing changed is the .sm/.dwi - if you can't manage this for some reason PM me and we'll figure something out

I'm not sure if the 4.0 CVS supports Solo charts in the editor - I think it would, doesn't it support Pump steps too? O_o;

[i]sanchy's interpretation is accurate[i] - you can use any DDR song for DDR solo except for your own entries.

No you are not required to make custom graphics. If you do, they will be judged for a modest number of points just because you took the time for it, though.

EDIT: No you do not need the original readme. A new readme should list the standard info for who did the Solo Stepchart, who made the original entry, and changes made besides the stepchart itself.

[the_ditz]

Just to clear something up - if you make no changes to actual song cut or add anything in like videos or whatever, do you have to upload the whole zip inc. song and graphics or just the .sm/.dwi files?

And count me in for judging the Challenge round - might make up a bit for my failure to do DDR B2 :/

[Eggman]

A quick question: Does CVS 4.0 even have the ability to create Solo steps in the editor?

If not, guess I'll be getting back 3.9 or whatever can do it.

Sorry, my stepchart was also finished for it before the reservation thread went up. If it hadn't I'd give it up. I was afraid that would happen to me, too.

And wow, 16th streams are fucking IMPOSSIBLE to read if they include the diagonals.

[Eggman]

Indeed. Imagine how much fun I'm having making 16th streams and such for Domino. Actually, I have to finish it tonight or I don't get to enter at all since I start my new job on wednesday and tomorrow is being spent in preparation.

In other words, someone for the love of god tell me who I should send this thing to so I can actually enter the Challenge round.

You say here that you can pick any song from any OSC 5 division to use for the challenge round, but in the reservations thread, you say that you can not use any song from your OSC 5 division (bracket if you entered DDR). Can I still use Love is Eternity (SF Synth Trance Mix) when my Together file was entered in B2 also?

EDIT: Wait, I get it. It says I can't do if for my own entry right? If yes, oooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh.

Hold up.

That's how I interpreted it as. If the "besides your own" had been in the parentheses, then it would've meant how you interpreted it.
Neko, please confirm.

[Xythar]

That's what I assumed, that it meant an OSC5 song from any division, as long as it wasn't your own song.

[Eggman]

Another question (since it's not 100% clear in the rules): Are we using the same graphics that came with the file originally? Or do we have to make new graphics too? I assume we're JUST making new steps since those are what are being judged completely.

[discovolante]

Right, I don't think we have to worry about art.

I'm doing Little Little Princess. It's looking pretty ok so far, but I'm having a lot of trouble using these confounded 5 and 6 keys!!

[#Infinity]

I originally planned to step Disco Dog, but that already got taken. I then decided to try stepping Tunak Tunak Tun, but once I got going, I was highly worried that it wouldn't work out too well, so now I'm stepping fffff, the first OSC 5 song I ever played, and I'm glad I switched. I can tell I'm going to eventually create one of the most interesting stepcharts in the division.

[Aeronautical Vigilante]

Okay, I answered some questions in the edit, but for the one I didn't:

The uploader is now relinked (and working).

[Eggman]

I just get a "Couldn't copy file. Please try again." error from the uploader.

Aw, I was going to do fffff too. I had some pretty interresting patterns, which I seemed to like. Right when I finished my rough draft for the steps, I edited my post in the reservations thread, only to find out that you already reserved it when you edited your post. lol. It's alright though. I'm perfectly fine stepping Love is Eternity (SF Synth Trance Mix).

[discovolante]

eggman: where is said uploader?
