Simfile help

[Qebafhzn]

Here's a part of a dump of a simfile:

//---------------dance-single - M. Lippy----------------
#NOTES:
     dance-single:
     M. Lippy:
     Hard:
     9:
     0.600,0.697,0.410,0.033,0.057:

You see the numbers 0.600,0.697,0.410, etc.? What do those mean?

That would be your groove radar readouts, auto-rendered for Stream, Voltage, Air, Chaos and Freeze, respectively.

You know that one 5-sided thing that varies in size you select a song/difficulty? :P

[Qebafhzn]

Oh. What happens when you try to copy-paste the arrow data of several simfiles into the same files? Does it automatically regenerate the radar?

and what are the measurements (meter, inch, etc.)?

think of it as a specific quantity where 1.000 is the maximum. I know you have seen simfiles that had some groove radar stats maxed. just think of it as a portion of that radar

EDIT: I tried editing an SM file, maxing all the groove radar elements and reloading it. It doesn't really read the values as it still went with the original stats of the steps. (This was tried in SM3.9, dunno about the other versions)

But what if you try to load it up when StepMania has no recognition of the simfile?

Reload Songs/Courses in the Options, would be my guess.

If you have multiple copies of the same difficulty in a single SM, that could cause problems.
