Discuss. Praise. Whine. Complain. Go!

P.S. Thanks for actively not submitting. Can I really blame you though?

____________________________________________

People keep bugging me to do another one of these, and even though I'm not really stepping anymore, I figured what the hey. I'll have free time over the summer anyway.

If you don't know what to step, here's something to get you started: http://www.mediafire.com/?wpav0muvcbt (Song cuts may be necessary)

Guidelines ahoy!

Submit metal/rock stuff. Anything, I don't care. This includes video game metal (S.S.H. for example).

Try to step some music that's a bit more off the beaten path. I'm not saying to completely avoid stepping popular stuff, but please limit stepping stuff that there are already hundreds of files for. If you're looking for new music to step I have some decent sources for you. Feel free to ask me.

DA RULZ (at least read this, k):
- Heavy (Challenge if you like) is mandatory. All other charts are optional. Hands are okay, but I'd really like to keep files with only a spread chart to a limit. A lot of the people who are going to be playing this are going to be index players. It doesn't take long to remove hands and make a simfile a bit easier. Files with only a spread chart will be judged more strictly, though, still not nearly as strict as some packs.
- Simple index files are completely okay. As long as they're polished, and don't have 16th streams when there are more prominent sounds to follow. Also, remember that jumpstreams can be your friend.
- There is no limit on length, but songs must be at least 30 seconds long.
- Cuts are okay. In fact, I recommend them on longer songs. The longer a song is, the more critical I'll be about it. Nobody wants 7 minutes of sixteenth streams.
- Released files are perfectly okay. However, if you step something specifically for this I would highly encourage you NOT to release it. Files that have been featured in obscure packs are also okay.
- Graphics are not necessary, but submitting a file with decent graphics will be a big help. Searching google, taking the first image you see, and slapping crappy text on it doesn't qualify as decent. If you can't make them there are plenty of people you can ask, or you can request them in the graphical forum. If I get too many files without graphics I'll be forcing people to get their own.
- No dinner rolls (I think you know what I mean) except in Edit/Beginner. Basically you have to have at least one main chart without them.

Send your files to doyoulikemetal@gmail.com Make sure to label the folder like this: (Your name) Name of simfile. Also, please put the name of the album the song is from and the year the album was released in the subtitle. Like so: Name of album (Year released)

Judges:

Still looking for willing judges. Not ones who will be lazy, worthless procrastinators.

We need your help!!

There is no deadline... yet. Just submit ****.

Don't expect me to give feedback on every file submitted to this. You'll get a yes or no probably unless I'm bored.

Oh, and v2 files of songs that were already in the first pack are fine. You know, if the song actually deserves a v2.

Also, I could really use some help with graphics in case anyone is interested. Seriously, it would help a lot. SERIOUSLY


Any questions? Ask me or NTM.

Oh cool, I guess this is good for submitting my file. I stepped the full version of Eradication a while ago, and it would go well in this pack. Heavy is easier and straightforward, with no hands and a few mines. It has some crossovers in the streams though, so if that is too much of an issue (you did say this pack has indexers in mind), I'll get rid of them. Oni is much more radically stepped and also harder than the one in FFR.

Going to go over it one more time before submitting.


EDIT: I have some stepping experience, if you need help with judging I could lend a hand.

EDIT2: Sent.

[SulferDragon]

Hehe, I got plenty of good stuff that could make some nice charts. I'll dig through my music tomorrow and send a few.

Okay, but first I need to check out your file.

You can do some graphics if any are needed.

EDIT: Sent, I left the difficulty on one so you can adjust it yourself, that way the pack has an universal rating system
(Btw what system are you using new one, see Dark Chancellor's Pack, or the old one... I'd rec. the new one)

I'm not sure. I doubt it would be necessary to use the rating system used in the DCP, but I guess if there are enough hard files I could.

Also, guys, my aim is not to make an index pack. Spread charts are ok. I'm just trying to encourage people to make more index friendly charts. They're not much effort to make, especially if you already have a spread chart. All you got to do is remove some steps and change the patterns if that's the case.

I'll check out the files people submitted tomorrow.

Don't worry, dude. I haven't forgotten. I'll go over all your files again to review the revised versions.

1 or two more files still coming for this by me.

Damn I gotta work 6 outta 7 days this week. I actually hate full-time. I don't need the money and my schedule is seriously ****ed up.

What do those plus sighns mean.Im guessing songs Sulfer accepted

[sp1nzoK]

To N.T.M. I'm pretty sure only sync flaw in Prison Born are the 24th notes, if there are any, I'm getting paranoid, so when you review the file sometime in future take extra notice on the 24ths, I don't want the file to be pooped with that kind of possible mistake. Cheers

Other things I noticed:
-The zip might still contain the useless .old files.
-The .sm has bpm of 260.001 instead of 260.000 does it auto-change .sm file bpm or how did that "1" get there.

[Plan_Bsk81127]

Nice, good to see a #2 come out. This time can we some like good rock and metal in. I dont mind playing stuff like Rhapsody and Dragonforce, and all bands like them, but when a majority of the pack is that stuff, it makes it eh to me. Idk, just saying I would like to see more like out there metel like As I lay Dying, disturbed, all that remains, and all that stuff. lol.

[PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR]

Hahaha I remember this...

Also, If anyone wants to collab on something, I've started working on a song that fits this and I don't think I'm gonna finish it without help or something.

EDIT: Also, I can help where / when needed.

I was also saying that if you needed judges, I could help with that...

[ShAiOnEi]

Put some real metal in there no wankercore stuff and it would be A+

[TC_llama499]

hmm well i loooove metal so maybe i will give this a shot.

[Coolboyrulez0]

Well if it's going to be index files then there really isn't a rating system is there :S

[kommisar[os]]

send me another good metal song like you did for shadow gallery and i'll gladly step

[dood gone krazee]

Send me some good **** I'll step some.

[moches]

Alrighty, stepping some stuff for this. Linkin Park is cool with you, right?

[revolutionomega]

Please nothing off of Minutes to Midnight...
Please do some more hardcore stuff, the amount of stuff like Freedom Call was bugging me.
Bands I'd like to see more of:
Dimmu (could have some incredible stepcharts aka sympozium, etc.)
As I Lay Dying (haven't seen any AILD charts lately)
Killswitch (potential, possibly some easier stuff)
Enter Shikari (not truly metal but some awesome potential)
Unearth (guitar solos - Cutman, We Are Not Anonymous, Giles, etc.)
All That Remains (someone please step This Calling/The Air That I Breathe/Chiron)
Still Remains (White Walls, The Worst is Yet to Come)
Job for a Cowboy (anything)
Godspeed (maybe)
Black Tide (Shockwave, etc.)
(tribute to rockband) Abnormality - Visions


Just a few suggestions
