ODIPack3 submissions (Release when graphics are done)

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

dunno why people are complaining about having files rejected

this isn't a FFR Season Pack, ladies and gentlemen. you have to think about your files, play them multiple times, iron out awkward parts, make it overall fun.

think about it this way. how many files are still played from odipacks 1 and 2, and how many files are still played from, say, ffr summer '11 and '12?

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

yo seriously anyone interested in a collab

I have the file like 60% done but it's bad and I suck at stepping this kind of song but it's a really good song but I haven't stepped anything in a long time and im bad now and skfj

halp

looking for someone who can help me make this into a good polyrhythm patashu midnight dragon overlayered climax theory but not dump hard file
the song is begging for it but i am terrible at this kind of stepping

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

send 2 meeee

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

That's kinda less about the quality of files and more about the release times though <_>

If FFR summer '11 and '12 had been released at the same time as ODI1/2 I'm sure they would have had at least similar playcounts

Question, but are you planning on forcing incorporation of easier charts? It's been a recent initiative to cater to newbie/less-skilled players.

Also are you gonna judge the whole pack by yourself?

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

I agree with ginuwine

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

Just some random 'stats' on my own preferences if you will:







That being said the appeal doesn't come from quality at all but target audience is based on song choice and song intensity. ODIPacks cater to someone like me who particularly likes metal, swing, techy beats, and most importantly -DIFFICULT FILES-. The other huge turn-off for me is mines. For me personally, that's what determines replay value. There's no question that FFR Summer 2012 files were charted well; however, the song choice really kills it for me in addition to nonsensical amounts of mines to make a boring chart more difficult :s.

I don't think Glove is being 'elitist' when he makes rejections on these files, I think he just has a different target audience in mind than the people submitting the files.

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

i am not gonna force incorporation of easier charts. although i like it, i have several reasons not to do it

i am planning on judging the pack by myself like with ODI2, but i'm sure i will need some help from kommisar

i don't have it in my mail box, that's odd. try resending it

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

I guess I should resend Mudkip as well :/...unless I sent it in after you judged the first set. Anyhow, glad to have you back glove~

Hype

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

THIS GUY. OUTTA NOWHERE

except it's subjective

I'm a little bit late but I do want to put in my two cents

the community has developed quite a bit recently. ever since the light chancellors packs way back in the day the "elitism" attitude has pretty much been broken down. it's been shown that just about anyone can make decent charts, and this fact alone makes it very difficult for any sort of elitism to re-emerge, as an elitist movement needs to have a reason or cause to back it up

however, right now we really push the community in a different direction. as I've mentioned before in my ffrcp4 notes, the community is taking the "new-school" charting styles well, but it's doing so at the cost of other important factors, like control over note density, transcription accuracy, and smooth pattern flow. this is because people are trying to be fancy before mastering the fundamentals, so reverting back to a more "oldschool" technical style is something the community needs

tl;dr don't fight it, embrace it

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

side note: elitism still exists, not so much in the form of chart acceptance/rejection, but rather in the form of people's favorite files. The favoritism is especially noticeable within pack reviews (e.g. Kil files in moches' most recent pack) and is a personal pet peeve of mine as a stepper.

-------------

anyhow, responses for my Five Regrets file:

1) I believe that's a very slight deviation in the syncing of the instrument being played. I didn't bother trying to make them into 192nds or something weird and colorful; that'd sorta compromise simplicity/readability. You might've also found previous examples of very slight syncing deviations such as in measure 17. Again, generalization is the way to go here.

2) ??? (wouldn't make much sense from a music theory/composition perspective though)

3) That left arrow 8th is actually the hi-hats, which the surrounding 8th jumps also follow. I can only cover this appreciably in this area, since it's relatively empty. Subsequent parts of the song becomes increasingly complex. In any case, I removed the hi-hat arrows. There should be a total of 858 steps in the heavy difficulty now.

4) ???

5) Heh, you think so? The small freezes are more of a visual touch to the cymbal crashes.

6) Hmm, that'd homogenize the chart I'd think. It's a matter of taste, but I'd like to think of those freezes as making the main melody stand out a bit more from the rest of the layering.


Anyways, thank you very much for your thoughts. I'll send the revision.

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

i have recieved mudkip! just havn't played it yet, it will be in the next batch of reviews.


tru dat it was my mistake. although removing the hi-hats from that section is a good idea.
the descending piano roll right before measure 47 starts... you can't miss it. how it should be handled is a good question though.
yeah i know, i was thinking you can make the other lead notes here a 16th long and make the cymbal crash freezes even shorter, but this is totally up to you
yes it is absolutely fine, do as you like with this as well

also randomly found something else just going through your post now, in the middle of measure 50 there's a color note missing going to the lead

i will play your revision tomorrow, just resend it again if you change anything else until then. seems like five regrets is going to be the first completly accepted file in the pack

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

Cool~

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

Oh, seems like another case of 1), where the chord might be ever so slightly off. In this case though, I changed one of the jumps to a pair of grace notes (the offsync note is a 64th).

Also added an arrow to a piano note that neither of us seem to have caught earlier (towards the end).

Sent the revision (I made an earlier revision, but ignore that please). Total arrows should be 860 in the heavy difficulty.

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (it's happening!)

Gonna bring out the big guns for this pack -- I'd love to see files of mine in ODI3. As of right now, I'm stepping Through Her Eyes, by Jordan Rudess -- we'll see where I go from here.
