BM2SMConverter Release!
 

Hey everyone, today I'm making this post to notify you all that the BM to SM converter made by DeltaEpsilon is now officially released!

GitHub: The converter is completely open source!
Tutorial: Youtube Link

With this software, you can now convert .bms, .bme, .bml, and other relevant formatted files directly to .sm. This converter takes the BM file and converts the notes in it (however many lanes you want in whatever order you want from 4-10 keys) along with baking the audio files into a single .ogg which means you won’t have a million key sounds per file.
Now you can play practically any bms file you want in StepMania! I cover everything necessary to get into converting in my YouTube tutorial, along with a few notes and common bugs in the description of the video.

Thank you for checking this out!

Hey Vsauce, Michael here

So before anything, if you find issues or bugs, please post them in Issues of the repository.

In the message body, post the chart you're trying to convert and end result if it's available and the message that you get with -V flag.

And for the love of Lord Prosciutto, if this chart plays okay in ArrowVortex, then there is no problem with this converter. I cannot do anything about SM bugs or lack of features. This is mostly prevalent for gimmick charts that utilize extremely high BPM.

Additionally, exceptions specified in Common Errors of README on GitHub are not a bug unless it's ValueError of unknown origin.

insane bms.zip

This converter looks like it would take some time to convert a lot of songs, bit it would be super awesome to have more 7k content in stepmania x) maybe one day it might be possible to mass convert files to stepmania

Re: BM2SMConverter Release!
 

converting many files at once is a planned feature for the near future

nice job!!! I'm BMS / BOFU chart author now and this will help me to make more Solo 6 Key stuffs.

Re: BM2SMConverter Release!
 

on this subject -- there used to be a way to convert SM files in double mode to BMS. does anyone know of any way to do this?

I *think* it involved taking a double chart and getting stepmania to save a .bms file in addition, but I'm not too sure because it was years ago.
