FFRMania Engine: 14,000+ songs and counting!

[ffr212]

STOP MAKING ME CHOOSE BETWEEN FFR AND STEPMANIA.

suicide.

[Tarrik]

Anyway, thread back on topic yeah?

[Charu]

It's simple, if you want to play the files as were intended, definitely go the SM route.

If you want it watered down (depending on how hold/mine/whatever heavy the chart was), then stick to this.

I said it I think in the other thread, but this is pretty much a convenience thing I think. Just imagine this is Stepmania-land, except Cmods are on exclusively with holds and mines off.

Sure, you can get Stepmania, download the backs, and turn that stuff off if you want to since Stepmania offers that, but I'm finding this to be if you're kind of lazy and don't want to download a pack or something and just play random files without having to set up anything or reload anything.

what's there to say
if you want people to praise your engine, grats you created a custom xml

if you want people to praise the files, link them to the cooresponding pack release thread

I can't, my PA on here is lolable compared to SM, I haven't quite figured out why, but I'm a waterhead. On the other hand yeah, it's nice to have the convenience.

Thanks for putting this together y'all!

Okay, We get it. You don't like the engine. You're obviously not going to play it and want your files removed. You've stated your opinion clearly. We will have all simfile authors given credit and the packs are in the OP. Someone playing the engine will know what pack they are also in and are free to go download that pack from SMO.

I've made files, for fun. How are we not Respecting the people who made the files?

[L.B.D.D]

give some fucking respect to the people who've worked hard to create files so others can enjoy

if you want to receive some credit for all this hard work (i'm sure this took a long time), then you should give proper respect to people whose files are/were in your project

ps) even though i sound like a dickhead it doesnt make u look any better by calling choofers' files shit

Okay, well we've been going through and crediting authors. I would give Choof a little more respect (not all his files are shit, if any) but i don't appreciate how harsh the post was when he came into the thread. Like, I understand where he's coming from .. But just bluntly coming out like that feels horrible to read when all we're offering is more files of his to be played. I know that they don't have everything that SM can give them, though they are still fun on FFR.

How would you react? We're trying hard to make as many people happy as possible.

[L.B.D.D]

understandable

i might be sounding too harsh because i don't like the fact that a lot of people insist on playing only ffr (and its various engines) without giving sm a try

hopefully this opens up the eyes of the general public to how diverse stepmania is compared to ffr (in terms of song choice, stepping style)

i wish u guys the best of luck, hopefully this engine gets more people into both ffr AND stepmania

No, it's cool man. I know where you're coming from - And if you're reading this Choof, then i apologise mate.

I hope people can enjoy these files and even go play them on SM if they wish.

[GammaBlaster]

Thank god for not seeing a popcorn .gif.

Anyways, I took the chance to play Robotomy in computing class with the sound off because people were really pissed at me for blasting out Crawling by Linkin Park.

My teacher came around so switched to another tab and he asked if I was typing up my assignment really fast. Whoops.

ps now that I've got a feel for what Robotomy feels like on fiffer I'm (already) stepping it for fiffer sorry choof

[awein999]

FFR and TS is what I like to play. Why anyone would have a problem with that is beyond me.

[RB_Spirit]

(.)Y(.)

Dude I could really care less for stepmania (Can't play it because don't have the permission as a standard windows user) FFR's awesome. If I could play sm, and the notes and music was awesome in the song, I'd change the background to pure black, put the scroll rate to c720 good to go. Arcnmx has done an awesome job around here, making this game smoother and overall better. Then comes Tarrik, yeah that's cool the two of you don't like the engine. lbdd, if it wasn't for this engine, Amber Shores wouldn't be my fav. I have an endless amount of respect for what he's doing.
Meant then Tarrik comes in, the next greatest thing. Props to everyone else who helped make this happen

HSMP 1 is finally all converted and being uploading to FTP now.

As this has happened, I've also removed all of the existing songs in the Secret Genre and have placed these instead.

There should now be no more offsync files ^^^^

Dynam0, I've done everything you've asked i believe. May not have done #Est how you asked though (I think i did Oni)

"Fury of The Storm - Oni chart is preferred, both if possible
Higan Retour - Heavy chart is preferred, both if possible
Magical 8-bit Tour - Oni chart is preferred (I think edit is a copy anyways but just to be safe)
Minami Ikebukuro Hardcore Custom - Both charts if possible
Porco Dio - Oni chart is preferred, both oni and edit if possible
#est (Sharpest) - Heavy is preferred, both heavy and oni if possible
Vertex GAMMA (True) - Heavy chart might be a good idea to add too if both is an option since oni is fairly ridiculous"

[rCaliberGX]

no one will play #est oni lol

[Tarrik]

I used to play Oni all the time lol

Also 44 files left uploading until pack is complete.

The FFRMania Song List Spreadsheet has just received its first major overhaul.

Two scripts now append newly converted songs to the spreadsheet, and translate all changes on the spreadsheet to the t-xmlfeedbacktest.php
This means adding missing stepartist and song author information will be considerably easier, and will result in 100% less migraine headaches.

Major props to Ippikiryu for vastly improving this system and helping make this all possible. you rock dude!
