Speaking of collabs, I heard that if more than 3 people collab on a file it'll be credited as "FFR All Stars", is there any way we could change this to say, for example, "Team Pony All Stars"? We're planning something like this so it would be nice to know.

Right now collab files are a penalty, instead of being encouraged. In my opinion, bringing two unique stepping styles to refine one stepfile is worth more than a file made by one individual.

I want to step with other people, but I don't feel I want to do that because FFR treats that as a handicap.

except it isnt because you arent putting in as much as as someone who stepped a file on their own. if you think that getting credit on your profile and having your fancy stepartist title is what makes or breaks stepping a collab file then you have your intentions all screwed the **** up. you dont step a file to get recognition on a forum you step a file because you enjoy creating things yourself and other people will enjoy playing. if you care more about the title than you do about stepping then please dont step anymore

its 4+ people and no any collaboration that big will be credited as ffr all stars

**DossarLX ODI** · 08-28-2012, 06:31 PM

Just sent my J'ai Entendu Le Train collaboration file. Made it with like 30 minutes left to spare.

**Rebirth0** · 08-28-2012, 06:44 PM

Submitted:

Rebirth's OP
- jacks umad

Hyper Highspeed Star (Rebirth vs. Izzy)
- collab between me and Izzy obviously.

My files might have shitty offset because my new computer is full retard on stepmania, so you guys might have to tweak that.

7 minute pony/DDR mashup, are your jimmies rustled

**t-rogdor** · 08-28-2012, 06:58 PM

song choice seems bland but i ain't gonna hate considering i still step flashbulb songs

but like for real can't you just take "FFR All Stars" and live w/ it dogg. Don't gotta add pony to the title, i'm p sure the song choice will let people know

will keep in mind

I have TGWP v2 but I'm not even sure if you guys would play it since its 17 minutes long. I already have confirmation that it can go in game and isn't an issue.

Should I submit that also? (even though its 3 minutes late, whatever)

iirc the song limit for a file is 8:53 or something like that

**Rebirth0** · 08-28-2012, 07:22 PM

Velocity fixed whatever was limiting that, so we can have unlimited length now I think

He also changed the max possible score from 8.5 million to like 1 billion

**MarioNintendo** · 08-28-2012, 07:23 PM

Isn't the batch closed?

I don't think so, at least not on the old engines. The newest ones should be able to play arbitrarily long files though since they don't run off an actual swf level. And swf levels are limited to ~9mins unless you use tricks.

Guys, stop worrying about whether your song was received or not. Check your sent messages folder in whatever email you use; if you've sent the message to ffrsubmissions@gmail.com, then WE'VE GOT IT.

Are collabs a "penalty"? Only in the sense that you did not fully create a file by yourself. Collabs are worth half a point each because you did not create an entire file; you only contributed to it by an arbitrary amount. In this light, points quantify the amount of work you've successfully submitted. We're not saying that collabs create "worse" files than individually-created ones.

Also, please do listen to Wayward Vagabond's reply. Don't start off with the wrong mindset. You are NOT stepping to "get more files in the game". You should step for the enjoyment of stepping.

I doubt it.

I think that file could be saved for something special...you may want to refer to jimerax for further details.

Not anymore. Velocity has indeed removed this limit. However, there are some bugs that have to be worked out in respect to scoring.

The new max score is:
9,223,372,036,854,775,807

^^^

**Rebirth0** · 08-28-2012, 07:55 PM

Might as well add a rule that you can't submit a file that has more than 500 trillion notes, as the max score doesn't support more than 500 trillion
