Re: Can someone write a script for easier single to solo conversion?

i'm shit at programming but i slapped up something that seems to work. if you give me an .sm file i can run it through the program to convert it

also i'm a bit hesitant to actually send you the program itself mostly because it's not very user-friendly at all

bruh its like 5 lines

Code:

for each line in sm file
if line == "stepfile type" rewrite the string as solo or whatever instead of kb4
if line == notes, just take the notes and transpose it to [1][2][3][4][5][6]

wait no its less than that

Wait can't you just paste the 4kry file into the solo editor in ddream and select all notes and turn them to the right

i don't have like a list of stuff i know that i'll definitely want to convert to solo for certain, i'm kinda hoping for something i can download and use whenever the urge to create 6k hits x)
if it's the case i should send you stuff periodically though i can probably do that too o:

I just do not have as good a grasp on the concepts behind what makes a good solo file. I also feel you have to be more considerate with how awkward some patterns can be on solo compared to single o:

And thanky neo and everyone

Re: Can someone write a script for easier single to solo conversion?

I feel like a straight conversion, especially using a tool, would have to be robust enough to take into consideration awkward patterns because a straight conversion will absolutely be ripe with awkwardness
I think what's happening here is that you're making charts that end up being way too hard for you personally, is that fair to say? chart something short from scratch, don't worry too much about awkwardness or pattern usage, and send it to me on discord. I'll look it over and give pointers

Re: Can someone write a script for easier single to solo conversion?

idk when I convert my 4key charts into 6key (I've done A LOT of them), I usually end up layering somewhat differently because of the column limitations of 4key causing me to selectively layer and omit/ignore sounds in a song.

The 4key chart acts as my framework, but I end up layering in more chords, notes, and so on with the extra 2 columns in 6key just 'cause I have the space to. I find that a lot of my 4key files end up being a lot more fun on 6key tbh, but then again, I always chart relative to my skill level in 6key. You'll basically never see me make a dense chordstream chart simply because I suck at chordstream and because of that, 98% of my 6key charts are chordsmash because I'm at least decent at that.

You don't necessarily have to chart according to your skill level, however it does give you good incentives for "friendly" patterning and layering choices, because then you can at least play and score well on your own file.

Kind of on the same note, when I was putting together the Solo Japan / Solo Rulz packs, I always sent all the hardest files that I personally couldn't score A or higher to people like ca25nada, LongGone, and Hazelnut to play test so they could give me constructive input on just how "hard" they are, since they had the necessary 6key mechanical skill. When I played the hardest stuff by myself, all the files were equally difficult and all meshed together into "mash to pass" territory where I have absolutely no fucking idea just how hard they are relative to each other, lol. In short, having the mechanical skill greatly helps your judgment on just how awkward and difficult something is.

Re: Can someone write a script for easier single to solo conversion?

actually it's not impossible to make a working 4k to 6k chart converter, i did it in boardmania.

it had a couple issues, but nothing that couldn't be easily fixed with some conditions

or you can last resort and autogen in sm5
