Re: MacGravel and Friends (RELEASED!)

Well the trick is basically comprised of multiple freezes, but all should be registered individually so that it appears you're holding one single quad freeze. I've never had any issues, so I wonder if this is a mechanic of the program being used. If so, it's sad that negative bpm exploits in SM can't be transferred to Etterna.
Anyone with a possible explanation?

i think this might be an issue with sm 5 in general and not just etterna.

Re: MacGravel and Friends (RELEASED!)

BREAK OVER (bmah & MacGravel) - What a strong start to the pack! These patterns looked kind of dirty at first, but they just flowed so well! Loved it Also, since I'm playing on SM3.9 right now (sorry :<), the "freeze" at the middle killed me even if I'm using Cmod... LOL I don't understand but this was some cool shit. I mean, Stepmania legit froze lmao

cherry blossoms explode across the dying horizon (XelNya & MacGravel) - I'll admit the first half wasn't really my cup of tea, just because I hard a hard time hitting the arrows (maybe I'm too rusty and becoming to be bad at this game...) However, the later half? GENIUS! I saw the x-mods in the health bar, and it looked amazing. I'll play this song on x-mod in sm5 later for sure

Eccentric Ghost Channel as Poltergeist (rparty89 & MacGravel) - Cool! Just one quick thing I noticed, it seems like the arrows are not well lined-up to the beats in c-mod (for example, the 12ths in the beginning). Other than that however, was super enjoyable!

Everyday [Netsky Remix] (blind & MacGravel) - I think you're missing a hold in the first section, but technicalities aside this song was SWAG loved it and died at the streams at the end

Figue Folle (James May & MacGravel) - Oh James May how you never leave me bored. :P These trills were something, man. I loved the song, even though it's a bit too hard for me near the end.

Infinite Funk (Kinx & MacGravel) - This song is so chill man... Perfect use of holds as far as I'm concerned. You hit a sweet spot for me with this one. My favorite so far (playing songs in alphabetical order).

Las Vegas (Antronach & MacGravel) - WOW LOL Right in the sweet spot. You guys are killing it with this one <3

m1dy Deluxe (Kraezymann & MacGravel) - I think I found a new favorite... Wow, this is one song I wished I stepped, or rather KNEW how to step. Very sweet spot for me.

If it makes you feel any better I struggle the first half on cmod and can't pass it yet either on X-mod.

Can we get a reupload to a more stable website if possible? I'd like to redownload this.

Re: MacGravel and Friends (RELEASED!)

did anyone ever figure out what was up with break over? I haven't played in a long long time but I just read through this thread and now I'm curious

It's likely that xmods that exploit SM 3.9 do not necessarily work with other SM simulators. It seems that most people do not use SM 3.9 anymore hence the confusion. It's too bad, since I worked so hard on the file.

gotcha, that makes sense. the only thing that still makes me wonder, then, is this:

Well it later worked for macgravel; he playtested it of course.

The mechanism for the effect at the middle of the file is to have freeze arrows shrink their length and stuff. To have this effect occur means that I am basically teleporting the player from one set of freeze arrows to another in milliseconds in thousands of occasions successively (where each set of freeze arrows have increasingly smaller lengths). The teleportation occurs via a combination of negative bpms and implemented stops. Anyhow, if the SM simulator you use cannot process automatic hits on the freeze arrows by only holding those arrows down, it'll fail you out because it would otherwise expect you to hit hundreds of arrows in succession (jacks) in fractions of a second.
tl;dr whether the trick works or not depends on how the arrows are registered from negative BPM skips
