First Official FFR StepCon

[Xiz]

I looked at whose in my group, and realized the skill difference. Not gonna try. Removing myself. If there was a way to separate people based on simile skill, then id join. (Perhaps each division is in relation to points people have for submitting files to batch?)

Just a thought.

Just a thought.

the whole point of a stepcon is to encourage people to try stepping with rewards or special incentives

instead of having to wait 2 months for a batch, you now get a FREE chance to practice stepping files to get FREE feedback from judges

if you have a mindset like that you're never going to improve

try stuff out and learn from mistakes

or if stepping isn't part of your interest yeah i guess you could just not try at all



there's a saying..

if you're the smartest person in the room you're in, you're in the wrong room.
if u want to improve, compete with people who are better than you !

Well that was rude lol.

Lol, I mean im all for the competition dont get me wrong, but competing with people who are close to you in that "room" you speak of is better then such a vast difference. It's better to have a chance of 1 in 100 then 1 in 500,000

Don't second guess yourself. As Tristana said, you should step with the attitude of improving and/or trying something new. We're very interested in seeing what new steppers have to offer.

[Arntonach]

So, is there a mirror to the first song I can get?

[Tristana]

whoa i wasn't being rude
i was just trying to help you see it in a different perspective

why does it matter if you compete with famous simfile authors or new simfile authors?

regardless of whatever division you're in, bad files won't get accepted. new simfile authors can make great debuts too, stop being so pessimistic

this isn't some competition to allow new people to get ffr r1 simfile author titles, this is a competition to create fun files for the community to enjoy playing (basically try ure best cause there really is no reason to not try stepping lol)

Hm. I guess I read that a lot differently then it came off as. I'm sorry then. I'll see if I want to, but first comes studying for my midterm -.-'

EDIT: Yeah sorry, I guess im just stressed from homework. <3 No hard feelings.

[blindreper1179]

I'm screwed too with the popular simfile authors in my group, but it's not going to make me quit. Just have to try twice as hard.

[Wayward Vagabond]

Xiz stop being a bitch and step

[Wayward Vagabond]

How about this we make each person be in their own group that way.no matter what you win. We'll even give you a participation badge that way you can have a little keep sake in case your your file is so trash you can't win even when you have no other competitors
Yeah

[psychoangel691]

Cetaka 2.0???

Hey I got a question. So I downloaded the song for my group but I guess my computer does not have the correct program to open it because the only thing I can open is the audio file. I put it into a folder in stepmania but when I open stepmania the folder does not even show up. When I double slick the .sm file it says "windows cannot open this file" and asks me to choose a program. Does anyone know what I need to be able to work on this file? Thanks.

Have you put it in the right folder? The entire song folder needs to be in the Songs folder, not the song/.sm file itself

(Also you can open .sm files with notepad, just set it as the default prog)

I believe so. I opened program files.....stepmania.....songs...made a folder...put that song in that folder. I'm thinking it may have to deal with the notepad program or something

[Tristana]

just copy a premade song from SM and follow the template from there

aka make a blank template .sm from a pre-existing song and put your mp3 in a new folder etc

You have to have a folder inside the Songs folder for the "Group" that the song belongs to. For example, in my Stepmania folder, I have it as Songs/Stepmania 5/Blackout.


EDIT: Or just do what the above poster said.
