Keyboardsmash Phase I: Legacy Submissions Open

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

So this doesn't have anything to do with the pack, but this is the reason I do not play SM5, testing/making files or actually playing.

I did fairly extensive playtesting on SM5 vs SM3.95.

Used same speedmods (C830, distant), same resolution (1024x768), same offset, same judge difficulty of course

(Forgive the shitty scores because I'm bad)
Song: Exige's End of the Moonlight
1st Try: SM5, 107perfects
2nd Try: SM3.95, 54 perfects

Song: Kil's Marine Drive
1st Try: SM3.95, 84 perfects 22 greats
2nd Try: SM5 , 123p 11g
3rd Try: SM5, 82p 23g
4th Try: SM5, 61p 10g
5th Try: SM3.95, 52p 8g

Song: hayden's Angel Eyes [Done on SMO]
Offline SM3.95 try: 16p
1st Try: SM3.95: 16p
Offset stats: +356/-258 1.728ms
2nd Try: SM5, 27p (The website says 25p)
Offset stats: +328/-263 1.558ms
3rd Try: SM5, 29p (The website says 27p)
Offset stats: +318/-294 0.611ms
4th Try: SM3.95, 15p (The website says 14p)
Offset stats: +327/-286 1.008ms

Offset explanation: the positive numbers are how many notes I hit above the receptor (More than 0.000ms early). Negative numbers are how many I hit below (late) the receptors. The ms number is on average how offbeat I was.

This is an actual playing test where human error is possible, but I am very fucking consistent on Angel Eyes and the results were clear.

Verdict: Based on playing alone, SM5 is retarded and I will never use it

It appears the game doesn't use the exact same judging window that the previous versions do. Why would I play the version that gives me worse scores given how consistent I was in the online testing.

The timing windows in the stepmania.ini are exactly the same. The game has some weirdly different feel to it that fucks me up though.

it's entirely mental, or your computer just can't run it properly

you will need to change your speedmod, the sm5 playing field is longer. I had the same issue when I changed, until I changed speedmod (played something like c700 on sm3.9, currently play c870 on sm5)

alternatively, you're a stepmania relic and continue to hold onto old ideas because you're a stubborn shit

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

there's more reading space yeah. it's like comparing pump pro to pump fiesta. pump pro has like 25% smaller reading space. I read higher cmods on sm5 compared to what I had on 3.95

Why don't we all play IIDX

[choof]

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

because iidx is for dirty hood rats like u

This is what I told him. I suggested turning on the bar at the bottom of the screen to cut the screen length to match 3.9.

It's like you purposefully ignore the point of testing them both to see how they compare so you can insult someone.

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

I wouldn't really call playing two different games with the same settings "testing"

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

are we gonna break into argument over every goddamn little thing are we reddit or youtube or something

some people like 3.9 and some people like 5, who cares what someone prefers it's basically the same game

it'd be a different matter entirely if we were discussing how this pertains to the usage of sm5 exclusive features for chart-making (like this pack for instance)

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

you can add xmods to one chart

and no xmods to another chart


for the same song


holy shit it's 2014

and you can also make it so xmods only work on sm5 and still have it run perfectly fine with no mods on other versions

Re: Dark Chancellor Pack 2 (ITS HAPPENING.GIF) Submissions Open

sm5 is objectively better than 3.9, sorry 2 burst ur bubbles
