Submitted two files

Re: FFR Community Pack Summer 2012 (Submissions Open)

YES. FINALLY. I've been waiting for this to open for a while. :3 A question, Gundam - does having one 4-key chart but having one or two solo charts meet the 2+ chart requirement, or does each mode need to have 2 or more charts?

Re: FFR Community Pack Summer 2012 (Submissions Open)

I'm fairly sure GD is referring to two 4k charts at the very least. Solo charts are optional but I'm guessing they don't count towards any sort of total.

I figured as much. I just want to get his take on it, since one of the files I stepped was really only intended to have one chart, and I was curious to see as to whether or not he would allow that, especially since a lot of the community plays solo.

EDIT: Is it okay if I send just the folders, or do they need to be compressed? Sending them as .zips invariably ****s up the offset, and sending as non-compressed folders seems to remedy that issue.

Re: FFR Community Pack Summer 2012 (Submissions Open)

I totes plan on submitting a simfile or two. A few quick questions due to me being rather uninitiated:

-How are pad charts handled? Could a simfile with only pad charts be accepted?

-Are you (Mr. Gundam) the pack's sole judge? Could you post a rough set of criteria?

-Is there a song length minimum or maximum?

-Do you prefer any type of music file format?

Any clarification would be much appreciated. Thanks for putting these packs together! I've thoroughly enjoyed the charts I've played from the other versions thus far.

2+ 4key charts are absolutely mandatory. I don't care how many 6key charts you have since this pack is centered around 4key.

-How are pad charts handled? Could a simfile with only pad charts be accepted?

Pad charts I will accept -only- as easier difficulties. Your main chart must be a file intended for keyboard spread play. I encourage to experiment with stepping easy keyboard spread charts to allow beginners to ease into the game much more smoothly—pad charts are very limited to what they can teach for spread gameplay after all.

-Are you (Mr. Gundam) the pack's sole judge? Could you post a rough set of criteria?

I have always been the sole judge for these packs

My criteria is based on both file flow, structure, and most importantly whether or not I see the file appeal to certain target audiences. I do not care much for technical errors as long as the file flows well and can be enjoyed by the aforementioned audiences. Only blatant objective errors such as incorrect offset and/or incorrect, unintentional note usages will be my main concern in terms of technicality. Overall, I'm reasonably lax, so my standards are not high at all in order to truly involve the community into these projects. Anybody and everybody can submit to these packs.

-Is there a song length minimum or maximum?

No, however I'll note that files that are 40 seconds or less will be judged stricter. People try to sneak in short files like these all the time and unless I'm cool with the file, I'm not going to judge them with my normal, lax criteria. Anybody can shit out a 20 second file and frankly I don't see any effort being put forth into them most of the time. It also takes up unnecessary file queue space, which is crucial considering the volume of submissions I receive everytime I do these packs.

-Do you prefer any type of music file format?

Anything goes as long as it's compatible with SM.

Re: FFR Community Pack Summer 2012 (Submissions Open)

I'm most likely going to send one of my Advance Wars files to this pack, I have like 3~ stepped already so I'm fixing each of them up and figuring out which one's the best

If you need any additional judges I wouldn't mind helping you out GD

Thanks for the timely response, Gundam. That all sounds very reasonable. Guess I'll get crackin' then!
