stepfiles
This may not belong here or might have been posted before, but I was just curious what a stepfile is supposed to look like from the code view(or simfiles?). Most of you have created them and I'm just curious what languages you can make them in or do you have to download a certain software to make them? Any information would be nice I kinda` want to create my own stepfiles to be honest, just for myself.

Re: stepfiles
The contents of a .sm file are actually read in as a data file (right?) of which StepMania or some other program will generate the results. Here's a snippet of code from a simfile, where a '1' represents a note in its respective position, and the whole block corresponds to a measure of a song:
Code:
, 1001 0000 1010 0000 0100 0000 0011 0000 1000 0000 0101 0000 0100 0000 0011 1000 Have fun! Last edited by dAnceguy117; 04-9-2012 at 10:29 AM.. |

Re: stepfiles
OOOooo interesting, I see but in response to the code that uses binary 10001010101, how do you time when the arrows appear and what not? Thanks for the links and information, I'll start looking through them now

Re: stepfiles
Don't use the binary coding itself in notepad to create a stepchart; that's an extremely archaic method used about 10 years ago. You can create a stepchart using the Stepmania program or DDream Studio. For more information on how to step, refer to Patashu's Stepping Guide as dAnceguy pointed out above - click on the link and follow the steps.
