A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
If I am making a stepchart in Beginner difficulty (which I just now learned from the submission rules that it's a no-no), is there a way to copy/paste it to another difficulty (like Light)? Or do I have to start over?
Also, long songs (at least 5 min) are okay as long as they aren't repetitive? Or would I have to submit them into parts? Also, if I set my play speed (not song speed) in Stepmania at 2x, is it the same as 2x in FFR? Last edited by ositzxz369; 05-16-2017 at 02:00 AM.. |

Re: A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
1:depending on the editor depends on the steps you take to do this but it's definitely possible
2:no you don't have to submit it in parts but longer songs are scrutinized more 3: no 1x on ffr is c300 or c400 iirc

No. Speed mods in FFR are more analogous to CMods in Stepmania. A 2x mod in Stepmania scrolls the arrows at 2x the BPM of the chart at any given point, while a CMod scrolls at the same rate no matter what. That's what is in FFR, all songs scroll at the same rate that you can set in the options. |

Re: A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
What do I do if I play FFR at 1.9x speed? In Stepmania, I see C200 and C400. Apparently C400 is 1x in FFR and I don't see any higher C###. Do I just step my chart at C400 and then practice it at FFR (not even sure if I can test my chart at FFR)? Would my steps sync the same if I changed the speed from Stepmania to FFR?

Re: A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
That speed that you play your chart has nothing to do with the sync of the file

Re: A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
The top half of this you need to copy into your english.ini and replace whatever english xmod/cmod options are already there
the bottom half of this ctrl+f and copy over into the metrics.ini (again erasing what mods you have to replace with these) starting at # Player options https://pastebin.com/BHJqy5k0 use raw paste data Last edited by Ristyy; 05-16-2017 at 04:58 AM.. |

Re: A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
or just a) upgrade to SM5 or b) use a theme that comes with the tedious cmod adding work already done
but no yea, your scroll rate on sm doesn't matter when being converted to FFR. Everything is set to a default C310 for 1x

Re: A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
So does that mean for my FFR scrollspeed of 2.9x that would be 2.9*310 = C899 in stepmania? It would seem so
I use etterna btw |

EDIT: but keep in mind the aspect ratio on SM is different, so you might want to go a bit higher.

Re: A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
a whole room full of chefs cant seem to cook a bowl of cereal whats 1 more opinion going to hurt? relating to player speed used when charting; if you truly believe in physics you would chart at 4x scroll speed considering 1x is too dense and 8x is too fast. but you have that option, i personally chart with the notion of cause, effect, and consequence actually existing in this modern world of quantum physics.

Re: A question (or two) relating to stepcharts
What is this crew that has this special ability to test stepcharts on FFR? How does one get in?
