What does that "Time Change" thing mean?

[somerndmguy]

It's been bugging me for a long time. Many files have "Time Change" listed under the "Play Now" section. What does that mean? Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

I'm thinking it's because the file has BPM changes, which isn't supported yet, so you can't play it.

Ducky's above post is correct. A BPM change is when a simfile has a change in tempo to go with the music, because when a song gets slower or faster, a simfile has to adjust in the same way as well. Often times the BPM will double or halve because the intensity of the music has changed, or because percussion has been added in or taken out that keeps a certain beat. These will be supported by FFR Resonance in the future.

Yeah...must be either BPM changes or stops.


NOTE: To make use of the new FFR Resonance Beta, uploaded Simfiles must contain a .sm file without stops or BPM Changes, and .MP3 or .OGG files.

Time Changes = BPM changes or Stops since a stop is essentially a bpm of 0 for X amount of time.
