Default Re: DDReamStudio - Official Guide

I'm having trouble saving and opening files. For my first song that I submitted in the batch that just closed I only placed the beats in ddream studio and I actually made the stepfile in the stepmania editor so I didn't have this problem before.

I spent an entire day making a stepfile and saved it, and when I tried to open it again, it pops up with an error saying "I did not find a proper music file. I will start with a blank editor. You should verify the filename is correct and the audio is in the proper format and try again." It's not like I'm saving the file with a different name as the mp3, they're the same name. I made a whole new stepfile again yesterday and the same exact thing happened.

I can go to the backup folder and open up the ds and dsx file for the completed stepchart and see all my work, but I can't actually open it. How am I able to open the file?

the ds, dsx, and/or the .sm file must be in the same folder as the music file.

as such, if you ever need to restore a backup, go into backup, grab the version you want to restore, and put it in the same folder as the music.

i wonder if anyone ever needed to restore a backup?

or ever undid/redid an entire simming session using undo/redo just for fun?

THANK YOU! Now I can fix up the file from the first time. I have no idea how the files and mp3 got so unorganized but it's fixed now

Just being able to start and stop the song with spacebar is selling point enough for me lol
I hate how Stepmania makes you go into some stupid menu just to listen to the song.

The fact DDReam does a billion other crazy things in addition to having a control scheme that actually makes sense is just icing on the cake 8)

Bump.

Does anyone know why AutoBPM doesn't detect sound anymore? It randomly stopped working for me. :/

I sincerly never used AutoBPM so I can't quite help... isn't there a FAQ on their website for Troubleshooting?

Bump, added Jyris's demos from back in the day (: If anyone wants to try them out, it's a great way to test the techniques you've learned in the guide!

looks great! thanks marionintendo for the remixes and banner

EDIT: if this thread is already stickied, why do people need to say "bump?"

EDIT 2: @razor - check your sound card settings, if i remember, you may need to set the proper recording input/device, as autobpm (dont quote me) listens to the incoming audio stream.

It's stickied, but it's not always on the front page in the latest forum posts (lower right).



This is why I said "bump", lol

Stopping by to say, this is helping me tremendously. Syncing wise. Sure, there's some things in stepmania I like, or maybe I'm use too, but this takes the cake. I was so stubborn to not ever try this because "lulz, stepman editor is bettar". So much time wasted, when I could of been productive with this. Thanks Jryis for this!

He did delete his posts, sry for replying late I didn't feel like bumping the thread just to let you know xD They didn't have much purpose, though, and could've easily edited the first one he made, so yeah, jae simply crammed all the info in 1 post.
