Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions OPEN)

song choice seems bland but i ain't gonna hate considering i still step flashbulb songs

but like for real can't you just take "FFR All Stars" and live w/ it dogg. Don't gotta add pony to the title, i'm p sure the song choice will let people know

Rebirth's OP
- jacks umad

Hyper Highspeed Star (Rebirth vs. Izzy)
- collab between me and Izzy obviously.

My files might have shitty offset because my new computer is full retard on stepmania, so you guys might have to tweak that.

will keep in mind

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions OPEN)

I have TGWP v2 but I'm not even sure if you guys would play it since its 17 minutes long. I already have confirmation that it can go in game and isn't an issue.

Should I submit that also? (even though its 3 minutes late, whatever)

Velocity fixed whatever was limiting that, so we can have unlimited length now I think

He also changed the max possible score from 8.5 million to like 1 billion

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions OPEN)

Isn't the batch closed?

I don't think so, at least not on the old engines. The newest ones should be able to play arbitrarily long files though since they don't run off an actual swf level. And swf levels are limited to ~9mins unless you use tricks.

Thanks ichlie for relaying the message!
Guys, stop worrying about whether your song was received or not. Check your sent messages folder in whatever email you use; if you've sent the message to ffrsubmissions@gmail.com, then WE'VE GOT IT.

New stepartists (me included) don't want to work with anyone because they won't get their Stepartist title, won't get recognition on their profile, and won't get full points.

Right now collab files are a penalty, instead of being encouraged. In my opinion, bringing two unique stepping styles to refine one stepfile is worth more than a file made by one individual.

I want to step with other people, but I don't feel I want to do that because FFR treats that as a handicap.

Are collabs a "penalty"? Only in the sense that you did not fully create a file by yourself. Collabs are worth half a point each because you did not create an entire file; you only contributed to it by an arbitrary amount. In this light, points quantify the amount of work you've successfully submitted. We're not saying that collabs create "worse" files than individually-created ones.

Also, please do listen to Wayward Vagabond's reply. Don't start off with the wrong mindset. You are NOT stepping to "get more files in the game". You should step for the enjoyment of stepping.

I doubt it.

Not anymore. Velocity has indeed removed this limit. However, there are some bugs that have to be worked out in respect to scoring.

I can bypass the normal 16k frame limit, so a 17 minute song is possible. It's the problem of scores, where the max score is only 8 million...

The new max score is:
9,223,372,036,854,775,807

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions OPEN)

Might as well add a rule that you can't submit a file that has more than 500 trillion notes, as the max score doesn't support more than 500 trillion

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions OPEN)

Batch is closed like an hour ago (being a bit late posting).

Rebirth: If you want the tgwp v2 file to be used in the game, submit to this batch asap. It will be most likely used in the event/token due to the length if accepted.

I'm still not 100% sure about technical issues yet, but at least it should be submitted before it is used anyways.

Fair enough, just as of now I *am* stepping files for the soul purpose of getting them in game. I'd like others to see my work since I'm not a musician or artist. I want to have points so I can have a higher submission cap. And I'd quite like having a title other than "FFR Player" for the past 5 years - So if my "intentions are all screwed the **** up", wc, then OK.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions OPEN)

there's nothing wrong with that, but if you're not enjoying yourself or if you don't enjoy your work, then there isn't much point.

same can be said about making quick dumps and sending them to judges when there was no effort put into it.

Re: Queue/Batch Discussion Thread v2 (Submissions OPEN)

I also had an idea of stepping all of Yonderdome. Not sure though

But ok I'll submit it in a few minutes

Start with submitting singles instead of collabs. Once you've got a few things under your belt, then perhaps you can expand onto other things. That's my suggestion if you really are worked up for what amounts to nothing but a superficial title.

Well I'd hold it until you're absolutely sure that you've stepped an awesome marathon song. I can't imagine the judges wanting to play a ton of very long songs within a single batch. I'm fairly sure that most extremely long songs will have to be something "special" as opposed to a regular sight.
