Re: A new beginning for our SM community.

although an online chat where people can talk about stepping would be pretty cool

Could be helpful even though people could just IM each other.

There is a problem with this in my eyes. It may become an elitist chatroom, only in real time. IRC's have been just as split as communities due to positions of power. The only thing I'd suggest is to have only one admin/op of the chat. Either that or none, if possible. Once there's one, there's two. Once there's two, it becomes elitist shortly.

@wc, shikari: Oh my god, I actually think that I did misunderstand you :woops: I assumed that the classes would be held in a completely different way. I beg your pardon.

Whenever this happens I'd like to be notified so I can hopefully help out with pad files.

Re: A new beginning for our SM community.

I want to help. I have been playing FFR/SM since 04 (see the account "tomjoe") and I feel as if I could help, and right now the SM fanbase is spread out over thousands of different sites based on a bunch of rhythm games.

Re: A new beginning for our SM community.

....the last few pages are TL/DR sorry I'm short on time but I do have something to toss out there for the rating system

may I suggest:

1) Rate the songs 1-100 as a base. NPS-Fudge Factor seems good to me

2) make it a point to only rate from 5-90. Make the hardest thing you know 90 and the most boring a 5.

3) Try and only use every other 5 as a rating first. ie 10-15-20-25-30-35.

After people play the files alot, slightly adjust them. If Song X is slighly easier then Song Y and they are both 65, lower X to 62. Make the diffirence between 61-64 really small. Also, if you leave 91-100 alone (Or better yet, go only to 85) Then you can stall the need to readjust files later on.

Anyway just my two cents. Also sorry I cant use real files as examples since I no longer play real SM anymore. If anything really awesome happens with this project please PM me XD I do want to see this happen but I just dont have time to help. After this gets off the ground tho I'll be happy to write a "Class" or two about something simple like syncing or making the .dwi/.sm files.

Re: A new beginning for our SM community.

Good news, everyone!

The works on making this new community has started for real. Me, Staiain and the SSC dev team are redesigning the forums on stepmania.com, since the site will be our new home. Subsections for simfile packs are open, and many others will be opened as well. Please, take a look at there and help us.
