DDReam Studio - a revolutionary way to sync/step simfiles

[Patashu]

Version 2 beta 5 bug: If you play, hit freezes, stop playing and move the targets (via scrollwheel or arrow keys) the columns that were holding a freeze continue to pulsate until they hit an arrow regularly or end a hold.

These phantom holders trigger mines and leave an 'N.G.' as soon as they pass over a regular note or an O.K. if they finish a hold.

patashu used ddream uh oh




the bug i mentioned before is back

[PsYcHoZeRoSk8eR]

I think I might give this a try again. I downloaded it, but I don't know if I will install it or not yet.

[who_cares973]

there's nothing to install. Just open and use

[jyris1]

wow, there were more bugs than I thought. I've been busy lately, so I havent been developing... There's a new multiple-BPM smoothing algorithm I'm working on adding too. Hopefully next time I update, a few of those bugs will be fixed. thanks for the bug reports.

I found an :error:

DDReam Studio barfs up "I sense an error reading the #NOTES information. I will try to ignore it." and doesn't load any information at all (no bpms, charts, the song file to use, etc) if it sees something like this in the .sm:

...

//---------------dance-single - irionman----------------
#NOTES:
     dance-single:
     irionman:
     Edit:
     13:
     -1.000,-1.000,-1.000,-1.000,-1.000:
;

//---------------dance-single - Expert----------------
#NOTES:
     dance-single:
     Expert:
     Challenge:
     13:
     1.000,0.668,1.000,0.000,1.000:
  // measure 1
1001
1001
1001
1001
,  // measure 2
...

This is a valid .sm, however.

If you delete the whole "irionman" block of code, will it work?

[dood gone krazee]

I remember reading somewhere that the newer versions of DDREAM save as a different file type, or something to that extent. I have been hesitant to download the newer versions of the editor due to this. If I download the new version of DDREAM, would I still be able to use/open/edit my previous files made in the older version of DDREAM?

Clarification on this would be greatly helpful.

[jyris1]

Yes, the current BETA is compatible with all ddreams down to something like ~version 0.6. You might have a problem if you work with the current version, as well as ~0.6 or so, but who wants to use ~0.6??

You can see for yourself if your files work --- just open a file in the latest beta (EDIT: Try opening a DS file AND an SM file to be sure), and if it loads your notes/arrows, it works. Otherwise, DO NOT save, and let me know if you need help upgrading to the latest version.

yes

[jyris1]

OK, i'll put that on the to do list for bug fixing.

[Patashu]

found another ddream bug:

if the sm includes a chart header like this, it will fail to load correctly (no charts/information placed in memory):

//---------------dance-single - :U----------------
#NOTES:
dance-single:
:U:
Easy:
1:
0.167,0.000,0.195,0.123,0.061:
// measure 1
0000
0000
0000
0000

If the :Us are removed it loads properly.

Source of bug: The early : causes the parser to get confused, thinking it needs to stop there, but in fact it should only look for the last : in the line.

EDIT: OH apparently this is a stepmania bug too haha. it lets you put : in the field but doesn't work right reading it in?

[th3firstkiss]

what is white beat ?

[th3firstkiss]

help me pls T_T what is this? a note or a mine ?

[Ziergdsx18]

It is neither of them. I think that is called a Lift Foot or something. I just don't remember the name right now.

[Patashu]

basically they're judged by how close to them you lift your foot (or key or whatever be the case)

as you can imagine they're not used too often lol

[icontrolyourworld]

Can you add custom keymaps to DDream for testing simfiles instead of having to use the Dpad?

[Patashu]

Just download AutoHotKeys and set up a macro to make (insert your spread setup here) send left, down, up and right keytaps.

Script would look something like this:

q::Left
w::Down
o::Up
p::Right
`::Suspend

[jyris1]

so I finally found some time to develop...

I've noted all the bugs everyone has found, thanks for finding them.

For now, here are the updates:

+ Multiple BPM Smoothing (via Grow "G"). Thanks to Derek Dohler.
+ Creating pauses no longer requires a hard selection - simply select beats and go.
+ same with setting song preview
+ Revised popup messages
+ Also, thanks to john_reactor for translating the basic tutorial movie into Polish.
