Sent mail with a simfile

gpop · 04-04-2008, 10:09 PM

Sent mine as well. I'm glad how they turned out.

One more thing Ben. Can you put the Rhythm and Police heavy difficulty back to 9? It's too hard for an 8 IMO.

MixMasterLar · 04-05-2008, 11:18 AM

To keep BMS updated:

Sent 3 new sims: One 9, one 10, and one 5 (lol)

Working on a 7 minute long 11 footer

gpop · 04-05-2008, 11:06 PM

Alright I'm sending in two more 10 footers that I kept unreleased, then maybe I'll look for a 6-footer to step.

MixMasterLar · 04-06-2008, 12:01 AM

Yeah we better lay off the tens...I guess if I do any more they will be sevens and the like. I was thinking of doing Labyrinth of Moonlight from Soul Calibur 2 and making it a 5 minute long seven footer, but it changes BPM alot and my syncing is the worst XD

KyahRyorin · 04-06-2008, 08:54 AM

^ Haha, I know the feeling.

I tend to usually make 7-8 footers. I feel my 9's get too crazy and if I do a 10, it's not paddable, usually. X3

But yeah, I've been working on a lot of trance/VG music as of late. Rock VG music. Yay. XD I love it, so it works.

gpop · 04-06-2008, 10:11 AM

It's only my last 2 10-footers. I just secretly made it and planned to release it eventually, so I'll release it here.

I might remake "You should drink cucumber-flavoured beer!" and make it a 6 or 7-footer. It'll have a video this time, and it'll be exclusive since it's not the same stepchart from the Touhou Pad Pack over at FFR.

See, there's really no one way to figure that out. You can either try to attack it manually by using something like Goldwave to pinpoint the points of change and assume that it's something as easy as BPM changes every so often, or drag your feet through it taking hours to sync it up with the F4 clapper on backup.

The submission I put in (Kalinka) took me about 45 minutes to get the first 24 seconds right because of the funky way that it speeds up from 86 to 210 BPM. First jump is awkward but the rest of them are 5 BPM up increments but they're placed at inconsistent times so you have to keep a keen ear out for them. Still, that doesn't even come close to being as complex as this file that I did some time ago. I still get nightmares over it at times for 8 hours put into 5 minutes of work for a single stage (and I can say it's synced 99.99% accurately, too).

Although, I dunno about you guys, but any marathon-like file that doesn't have at least a 9-footer or something attached to it is gonna bore me to sleep. :\

Yeah, Ive been slowly getting better and better at syncing and step placement just by making alot of shitty files lol. Im still not anywhere near the league that you guys are in tho.

Some people would. I know I would find it fun =)

Well, that goes without saying that the 90 I have up are the ones that I felt okay with on the second go round of BMS.

I have 60 or so that didn't make the cut period.

And of those 90, I only think a third of them, 30, are worth it.

And about 10 of those are really good.

So there you go; you'll have a lot of misses and few hits.

EDIT: As for the lower-footer marathon; I've done a few (obviously :P) but I always had to have a 9 or 10 footer attached to it on Heavy or Oni. Heck, I've done 3- or 4-footer marathons, technically. :P OH! And a 1-footer marathon as well (Duvet, Cyberia remix, not upped on here as far as I know). I rarely touch them though.

Ben Speirs · 04-07-2008, 11:25 AM

Updated the first post with most sims guys! I'm gonna be almost constantly updating though so keep your eys peeled!

MixMasterLar · 04-07-2008, 02:20 PM

EDIT: I assume you havent tried my newer stuff (Rockstar, My Final Fantasy, etc)

Also U is from Pump it Up, and Last Blade 2 is from a SNK Game of the same name

Hiryuu · 04-07-2008, 02:22 PM

What exactly did you use in Last Blade 2 anyways (great unheard of game btw)?

gpop · 04-07-2008, 02:22 PM

I hope that it's "most" of the files. Because I'm pretty sure I sent in quite a few files last week and weekend. I hope they were accepted.

Hiryuu · 04-07-2008, 02:47 PM

He probably made a quick pass at them and missed some. Usually, all of them are accepted unless they are REALLY and EMBARRASSINGLY bad.
