Astronomic Metal Collection 2

SulferDragon · 04-27-2009, 12:46 AM

People keep bugging me to do another one of these, and even though I'm not really stepping anymore, I figured what the hey. I'll have free time over the summer anyway.

Guidelines ahoy!

Submit metal/rock stuff. Anything, I don't care. This includes video game metal (S.S.H. for example).

Try to step some music that's a bit more off the beaten path. I'm not saying to completely avoid stepping popular stuff, but please limit stepping stuff that there are already hundreds of files for. If you're looking for new music to step I have some decent sources for you. Feel free to ask me.

DA RULZ (at least read this, k):
- Heavy (Challenge if you like) is mandatory. All other charts are optional. Hands are okay, but I'd really like to keep files with only a spread chart to a limit. A lot of the people who are going to be playing this are going to be index players. It doesn't take long to remove hands and make a simfile a bit easier. Files with only a spread chart will be judged more strictly, though, still not nearly as strict as some packs.
- Simple index files are completely okay. As long as they're polished, and don't have 16th streams when there are more prominent sounds to follow. Also, remember that jumpstreams can be your friend.
- There is no limit on length, but songs must be at least 30 seconds long.
- Cuts are okay. In fact, I recommend them on longer songs. The longer a song is, the more critical I'll be about it. Nobody wants 7 minutes of sixteenth streams.
- Released files are perfectly okay. However, if you step something specifically for this I would highly encourage you NOT to release it. Files that have been featured in obscure packs are also okay.
- Graphics are not necessary, but submitting a file with decent graphics will be a big help. Searching google, taking the first image you see, and slapping crappy text on it doesn't qualify as decent. If you can't make them there are plenty of people you can ask, or you can request them in the graphical forum. If I get too many files without graphics I'll be forcing people to get their own.
- No dinner rolls (I think you know what I mean) except in Edit/Beginner. Basically you have to have at least one main chart without them.

Send your files to doyoulikemetal@gmail.com Make sure to label the folder like this: (Your name) Name of simfile. Also, please put the name of the album the song is from and the year the album was released in the subtitle. Like so: Name of album (Year released)

Judges:
SulferDragon
N.T.M.

Graphical Artists:
SulferDragon (kinda)
PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR
We need your help!

There is no deadline... yet. Just submit ****.

Don't expect me to give feedback on every file submitted to this. You'll get a yes or no probably unless I'm bored.

Oh, and v2 files of songs that were already in the first pack are fine. You know, if the song actually deserves a v2.

Also, I could really use some help with graphics in case anyone is interested. Seriously, it would help a lot. SERIOUSLY

I hope I trimmed that down enough. It wasn't too long, was it? I hate to be a bore.

Happy submitting!

Says the man with one post who can't even spell "first."

Patashu · 04-28-2009, 05:01 AM

Imperfect grasp of the English language?!?!?! This man has NO right to judge simfiles!

JC52236 · 04-28-2009, 01:25 PM

Dontcha think you're grasping at straws a bit if you start calling out spelling/grammatical errors on an internet forum? (*especially* if it was obviously a typo and not an actual error)

Sorry, it's just a bit of a pet peeve of mine when people do that.

Best of luck on your pack either way.

Hey I made an awesome pad file for Feel My Pain from F-Zero GX. Can it get in?

+ I make pretty art :3

Sexybarb01 · 05-03-2009, 10:53 PM

Files sent in for the pack. I've got more as well, just lemme know.

Charlo · 05-04-2009, 02:12 PM

I will probably submit a few of my better files for this pack. With an emphasis on lesser-known bands.

SulferDragon · 05-10-2009, 02:31 PM

I was kind of kidding about the grammar, guys. Besides, you're criticizing me more about me criticizing them then I was criticizing them. Also, I agree the first pack had some pretty suck-ass files, but I plan to bump up the ante a bit more this time around.

Oh, you must be that guy who sent all those files, are you not?

Well...

Instead, why don't you send me a few of your files, the files you consider your best. Oh, and I actually did start playing through your files, but one of them had rolls and made my StepMania crash. That's when I quit. If you would read the rules (specifically the last one) you would see that I said no rolls.

I did actually update the rule about rolls, but you still need a chart without them.

If it has a keyboard chart to go along with those pad charts.

Also, sup Charlo.

SulferDragon · 06-09-2009, 05:51 PM

Its a bit dead on FFR.Actually its just got to a preety slow process.Seeing as all the judges are buisy

MadDogBV · 06-13-2009, 02:09 PM

I'm planning to submit simfiles, but I'm also willing to do a few things to help keep this project alive, judging, etc.. As a stepmaker of this particular genre, I think there needs to be more recognition for metal in the Stepmania community.

SulferDragon · 06-16-2009, 08:27 PM

If you want to judge, show me one of your metal files. After that, I'll give you three sample songs to judge.

Personally, I'm already getting bored with the thing. I might forget about judging and do what I did with the first one. Of course, I would keep submissions open still.
