Re: Team Pony
The whole song is swingy, so I would go as far as changing your 16ths to swing 24ths/12ths.

Re: Team Pony
I couldn't really hear the song because of the clap assist, but yeah I'm assuming it would be 16ths too since a single 12th doesn't really make sense :P

looks cool bro.

if you're going for super technical then: -assist tick can be misleading because your mind can just as easily fit the assist tick to the song rather than the reverse (also on lowered rates it can actually cover up sounds that would otherwise be fairly prominent on 1x) rather than using assist tick i prefer to play the chart itself to see how well the chart meshes with the song + you have notes to sounds that aren't audible on 1.0x -technically the synth is on 16ths and also technically falls on the snare on m3.25 its not exactly the most clearly audible but its there (this is of course assuming we have the same mp3) -the patterns aren't jacks but triplets (that result in a runningmen with the anchor on the 16ths which is i guess what you stepped -8ths) although i myself would not be opposed to putting jacks there instead but then again i have been known to put jacks to about anything and everything sooooo -you missed a couple 24ths in there (it falls between the last 16th of both jack sets and the respective [12] jump afterward) if you wanna get super deduper technical although its barely audible on 0.6x and you probably wouldn't hear it if you weren't listening for it (though fairly prominent on 1.0 and might be something fun to call attention to idk) i actually have no idea if you already know all this or not but you did indicate you were fairly new to stepping it's also entirely possible that i have absolutely no idea what i'm talking about but you did inspire me to rechart the beginning of my file |
Re: Team Pony
Guys go check out VS PSYCHOSHY, we finally have a pony song in FFR :D

Re: Team Pony
All congratulations to megamon for getting a pony song in the official game. :-D

Re: Team Pony
congrats megamon, It's really awesome. :)

Re: Team Pony
!!! So glad to see that there are ponies here
|
Re: Team Pony
I didn't expect there to be many bronies playing FFR when I rejoined, it's pretty suprising.
Now all that needs to happen is for one of us to make a simfile of a pony song (that blatantly has ponies in it, vs psychoshy isn't good enough B:<), and we'll be one step closer to world dawwwwwmination <:3c |
Re: Team Pony
Don't worry, I have 3 pony files I'll be sending in to the next batch :D

Re: Team Pony
Also, if it isn't too much to ask... Might I be able to maybeprobably~ join your team? c=>

Once the FFR Community Pack Spring 2012 comes out you should download it, I stepped a eurobeat brony song for it :D

Re: Team Pony
Oh my god I didn't know there was an FFR community pack. You think I should submit my 20% cooler song into it with all its flashy goodness?
EDIT: Nvm. Already submitted it. Looking forward to it. EDIT2: Quote:

Re: Team Pony
Love to see your 20% cooler file get in the pack gold stinger! You wouldnt believe how many times I played it at school aswell as rainbow dash likes girls and party with pinkie from megamon.
So yea, pack just got cooler by 20% |
Re: Team Pony
I might step another pony song for it if I get around to it :P
|
Re: Team Pony
I can guarantee that your jaws will drop when you see the song. I remade many of the offsync notes, remade 2 parts of the original 20% cooler song, and fixed the video to work in both Stepmania and OpenITG, just so as long as Gundam-Dude compiles/fixes the song in Stepmania, which I'm pretty sure he does.
No more grey split bar as the song background anymore. Now it's the full-fledged 20% cooler typography. You can literally say that the "File and the Pack have gotten 20% cooler." |

Re: Team Pony

Okay people, I am really trying my best to step a file, now this issn't going as I want to. The steps are totally offsync. I got annoyed and gave up. Now if anybody else would like to help me/ just step it(lol) would gladly be apreciated. or just tips would be fine too.. this is the file I'm trying to step. I have no bloody idea how ddream works so I use SM 3.9 |
Re: Team Pony
I think that DissonantMuse is stepping that aswell isn't he?

Re: Team Pony
ddream is easy to learn once you get passed the unfamiliar interface
simplest way to figure it out is to open a finished file with it and just poke around zoom to level 7 and hit i to turn on the wavelength filter and the rest should be fairly intuitive e: since there appears to be a modicum of interest in sunshine and celery stalks i've uploaded my chart for it so you guys can look at it/pick it apart/use it as a baseline or whatever (mostly referring to the somewhat crudely layered beginning here) http://www.sendspace.com/file/gcnnwr |
Re: Team Pony
That's a pretty good song for stepping, but I can understand from your perspective where you're getting mixed up just from listening to the song. Sounds like there's a 18th note back-end starting beat. Best thing to counter these notes is to stick with the regular notes at first and ignore those notes. create the entire song not using those notes and save it under an easy chart. Then copy the easy chart into a hard chart and layer the original notes you created with the offbeat notes that you come across. That way, you can tell whether you are stepping it right or not based on the original notes you created for it. When you finish that you would not only have 2 charts, but a nice song finished and out of the way.
If someone does complete the song, do you think you could send me a zip or rar file for the song? I'd love to play it. Really good song. I'd love to step it myself, but I'm already multi-tasking over 10 songs at the same time, and still have homework to do that I'm procrastinating. :) |
Re: Team Pony
Okay, not gonna lie whoever is making these pony tags or whatnot -
Props. They look sick. That is all. Edit: AKA Megamon. Cheers. Hahaha |
Re: Team Pony
Thanks Xiz, though I'm not the only one making sigs. Some others took it upon themselves to finish requests when I was busy, which I appreciate. :D
Also, finished a new file for the upcoming MAD pack 3. It's actually pretty fun. |
Re: Team Pony
That's okay, I wanted brain seizures whilst I went to sleep. I'll make sure to download the pack, not many people work their pony songs with videos, or anyone for that matter.
|
Re: Team Pony
So I commented earlier about liking these tags coming from more of an artistic/graphic design perspective. However, I never really knew what this whole My little pony thing was about. So I looked it up and watched a few episodes. So I ask a question: Is it normal that as a guy I enjoy this? I just watched my first few episodes. Now I can't stop watching them haha. o.0

Re: Team Pony
thanks minaciousgrace & Gold stinger, I got allot farther. Though the file still is very easy and not very fun to play. It's not totally on sync, almost but it makes a diffrence between a marv and a perf. I'll be finishing it off soon.
I am also stepping another file that has allot of doubles, It's called Flank up! and it's about 30 seconds long. When I'm done, if anybody would like to try it out then please ask. :) |
Re: Team Pony
I'd be willing to try them for you, as long as my computers willing with all the vibrating noises and obnoxious fan sounds that it makes, hopefully I'll be able to make a video response to it without its interruptions.

Re: Team Pony
okay cool, question, where is the dwi or whatever file located? It was created to stepmania/songs/ but it issn't there..
|
Re: Team Pony
It should be in a place something like this:
![]() Should be located under /Stepmania/Songs/(GROUP NAME)/(SONG NAME)/ If it had no group, then it's /Stepmania/Songs/(SONG NAME)/ |
Re: Team Pony
Windows Explorer has a (in my opinion bad) default of hiding "known" file extensions. A "known" file extension is defined to be one if you double-clicked it, some program would open and use it. Go to your Folder preferences and change that.

Re: Team Pony
If I stepped that song the background trill would look like 32nd rolls. Was considering stepping it when it first came out, but not sure if you would want.

Re: Team Pony
I can see myself making 3 difficulties for this song if I ever got around to it (but I didn't even start art of the dress yet lmao)

Re: Team Pony
I'll see to making some free time tomorrow in my busy schedule or on the weekend for stepping the song. I've had myself booked the last couple of days because I missed the 3 days before march break, and then missed the monday after march break. Ended up with all the work that was supposed to be done on march break, and I have to pretty much do 1 project a night, for the next 6 days until I'm caught up.
btw, nice music to listen to while writing out my science project. |

Re: Team Pony
I gave up on making the song less than 15 seconds in. Have fun.
The BPM and the gap is proper, I double checked, the song just naturally goes between 4th and 8th notes because of the singing, and it throws the purple (3rd) notes to purple (12/24th) notes, My brain hurts. It switches for literally THE ENTIRE SONG. ![]() EDIT: Nevermind, Found out what I did wrong. I really gotta learn to zoom in while adding silence at the beginning of songs. |

Can you guys name like 2 or three stepfile creating programs? i'd like to try my hand at it.

Re: Team Pony
Stepmania, DDReam Studio*
I recommend downloading both...do not neglect either of them *you might have a little trouble finding a download for this, since the main site has been down forever since...you should be able to search for a dl posted on the forums here though in fact: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...d.php?t=123118 |

@TBG Fixed the song, omw to completion, lol derp 11:35 PM. I gotta wake up early to throw my science project together. Will re-schedule to complete after school if no one decides to shove project due dates in my face. |
Re: Team Pony
Stepping songs is a bit difficult. I tried using DDReam on one of my songs, but it had so much noise in it that it was just a fat bar with mini spikes on it. XD
A couple different tools I use are Mixmeister's BPM Analyzer, and this manual BPM tool for when songs have like 50 different BPMs: http://all8.com/tools/bpm.htm I did step Forever Dreaming, Foozogz's Remix of Omnivore's Forever Asleep, but I got a big fat paragraph of review. I suppose for my first file it wasn't all too bad, but I need to do some more songs before I take on the more difficult stuff. I've been considering stepping one of Makkon's newest songs, Dregs, but I'm not quite sure how to start it out. It's a 145 BPM, and whatever sound is used that starts on the second beat (or 3 seconds in really) confuses me. It seems most like 8th notes would fit it best, but I have to choose between short holds or plain arrows, and whether or not to use doubles as I plan to put a lot of layering into this song. I know exactly WHAT I want to put steps to, but I can't actually do it. XD |
Re: Team Pony
I don't recommend DDReam for beginners. I'd start off with the simple Stepmania editor. I always use this.
@gold stinger: to each their own I suppose. *shrugs* Do realize though that the above two programs are more standard in terms of usage in this community. |
Re: Team Pony
tbh ddream is really only useful if you're having syncing problems
|
Re: Team Pony
That's what I use it for. I know several people actually step in DDReam but I personally only use the program as a syncing tool if Mixmeister or my own ears fail.
|
Re: Team Pony
@Everyone, thanks for the recommendations, What is the website for Stepmania? i assume like.. Stepmania.com or something right? I did download DDream, and i cant figure it out lol.. so maybe the stepmania editor will work better. as long as the song will still work on FFR by the time im done.
|
Re: Team Pony
http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/Downloads
I actually would get Stepmania 3.9, and if you want, v5 as well. I recommend you start by using the Stepmania editor in v3.9. |
Re: Team Pony

Re: Team Pony
Ok so i tried playing stepmania 3.9... The game is way out of sync.. like i cant even hit notes the way i should be able to, when i press a key there's a large delay before it registers in the game. any way to solve this?
|
Re: Team Pony
Well, there should be an option called vsync. I haven't used SM 3.9 in a bit, but I'm pretty sure it has that. Play around with that and see if it helps.
Also, if it doesn't quite fix it, try this. Quote:
Edited again! Yay. Buy anyways, where are you installing it to? If you have it set to program files (the default place), change it. I have mine on the desktop. I think I remember there being something about not putting it in Program Files cause Windows is snobby and doesn't like it there. |

Re: Team Pony
meh.. I give up. i tried editing the settings and the globaloffsetseconds thing but i give up. lol i'll just leave the stepping to the pros. i just wish i could step a song.. cause if i did it would turn out perfectly as i plan it to. lol like when i play other peoples steps, like they dont play out nearly as i would've planned them to, lol which throws me off. but meh i'll leave it to you pro-steppers.
|
Re: Team Pony
Large delay before a key registers you say? That sounds more like a hardware issue than a syncing problem. I've never heard of latency issues for a keyboard that bad. That has nothing to do with being a "pro stepper"...see if you can find a way around it. I could be wrong though if your keyboard's responsiveness works well for everything else.
I also recommend downloading v3.9 as opposed to v3.95. Hopefully you weren't trying to do the latter. |

Re: Team Pony
I applaud you for taking an easy route.
"The only winning move is not to play at all." I can safely say that you will get plenty of fun making your first couple of songs in DDR if you ever get it working, but the process of completing the song is quite time-consuming, especially for longer songs that contain no song edits or isn't a remixed version of the song (like most songs on regular DDR machines, ranging between 1:00 to 2:30 long.) |
Re: Team Pony
Would uploading my Stepmania folder allow for usage? I'm not entirely sure whether or not it would work, as it uses another folder in appdata for profiles and such, but I think it should just create that file when you first start it up.
Also, there are only a few people that I can think of made good steps from the get-go. Pretty much everyone else had to learn what to do and what not to do from experience. I say you should go for it, and after a few songs decide whether or not you really want to continue making more. |

Lol I was busy stepping some files (avast fluttershy's ass, flank up, sunshine celery stocks) untill for some surprisingly unfortunate unclear reason a great erase took place and killed all my files. Won't be restepping them for a while, I worked bloody hard on them.
|
Re: Team Pony
how did that happen?

Re: Team Pony
Ouch, that sucks. I had that happen on my old vista laptop before. I turned UAC off and everything was fine after that, but I still ended up losing my files. Was your stepmania folder in program files by any chance?

Re: Team Pony
There's your problem. Vista is very finicky about program files, so it's a good idea not to install it there, and instead in documents or something like that. You should be able to find your lost files in a hidden folder somewhere, but unfortunately I don't remember what it's called or how to access it, sorry :/
