Could you make a tutorial for making songs? I would really really really love to learn how. A tutorial about how you made the game would also be really kewl. :wink:

To make FFR songs is somewhat difficult. To convert them from .DWI is much easier. I will be working on a tutorial very soon but you may want to save your files out of stepmania or DWI as a .dwi file and send them to me. My converter is shakey but it works. The only real restrictions are: No freeze arrows and nothing shorter than 1/16th of a beat.

Cheers,

Synthlight

Synthlight just put up my guide to making the .dwi files in the FAQs section. That will tell you almost everything you will ever need to know about making a file :D

#BPM:
--------
The BPM, or Beats Per Minute, of the song. You need to list this accurately so the simulator knows how fast or slow to scroll the arrows of your step chart. The BPM can be easily be calculated using a program such as WINBPM, which can be downloaded for free, or even by counting the number of beats emulated by the song in six seconds and multiplying that number by 10. Don't forget the semi-colon at the end.

Okay...where can I download WINBPM?

I sent it to your e-mail.
It used to be on the Melting Pot, but they went down, so I don't know where to download it anymore. If anyone else needs it, let me know.
