FFA's File(s)

flashflash account · 11-29-2018, 06:02 PM

I spent some time today in stepmania making a file. Much easier than arranging 10/10

I uploaded the folder to dropbox, which you can download by clicking here. (I hope.)

It was a really fun song to "step", and the goal was to make an easy song that's also fun to play.

This is my first file, and I'd like some feedback before potentially creating more (especially in terms of formatting for FFR).

What the hell I didn't even know you played rhythm games lmao

I don't

I thought making a file would be fun so I installed stepmania

**PixlSM** · 11-29-2018, 06:50 PM

this is not how you zip sm files lmao

**PixlSM** · 11-29-2018, 06:55 PM

on a side note its kinda interesting to see that a file from someone how has never played sm manages to follow fairly decent PR, even if the file is super bare bones.
you are already several steps ahead of travis flesher

I didn't zip it; I literally just uploaded it straight from its location in the stepmania folder. Is all I need the .sm and .mp3 files?

and what does PR mean

zipping up single files is just the mp3 and .sm inside a folder. the zip came with a folder but the files were outside of the folder lmao

PR is pitch relevancy, or having notes move left/right based on the pitch of the note being played (with right side being high pitches and left side being low pitches)

Tfw the concept of PR is so obvious even a mongol could pull it off

flashflash account · 11-29-2018, 07:06 PM

okay gotcha
yeah I tried to do that

and lol I guess I must have not been paying very much attention when I uploaded it to dropbox

I don't mean to imply ur a mongol oooof my bad. I'm just saying it's so obvious a trogdolyte could pull it off xd

flashflash account · 11-29-2018, 07:22 PM

so you're saying you don't think it's interesting like pixel does that first-timers can follow pitch relevancy?

ye I agree but also I think someone who went straight from DDR to this kinda junk wouldn't follow it so it probably depends a bit on background

**Antori** · 11-29-2018, 08:03 PM

it was nice and simple i liked it but i also have no clue what is a good file it just felt good to play

that's what I was going for! And yeah the file is definitely an easy one, since I can do it without any misses. Probably like "Easy" in the FFR tabs

Honestly yeah, that's more or less what I'm saying. That being said, it's impressive to follow it well, so that's good on ur part

Let's be real tho, the concept of "high notes to the right, low notes to the left" is complete common sense lol

ok did you know that you can make the same recommendation without this kind of tone

dAnceguy117 · 11-29-2018, 09:45 PM

when I made charts for index circa 2005 I always went with up for higher pitches and down for lower ones, I wonder if other ppl did that or if I were weird

dAnceguy117 · 11-29-2018, 09:58 PM

oh I played the file it was nice!! I dunno know what separates the accepts from the not-accepts for FFR submissions when it comes to really easy stuff, other than refining some spots where we're not just following an obvious melody. practice is always good, but you may want to get some judges' takes on that before throwing in submissions - or just let them ride and review the notes from there.
