Stepmania Nostalgia Pack Released!

[AlexDest]

i see this seems successful so far

thanks rebound for taking over

[Reshiram]

Got two files here, seems like a nice haul. And they're not in UEMP Roar ;3

[i love you]

I'm glad you guys enjoyed it! I was expecting this pack to not get that much attention seeing that some people would not want to download a pack that is filled with simple index/jumpstream files. I do not care about that though, I thought this had to be done.

@AlexDest: No problem! I did not want this pack to go to waste.

samurai7694: you defeated the point of this entirely with your song choices
bmah: you ****ed up on a couple of song choices (aurora, resonate 1794) so i skipped those, luckily you ****ed up your other files so i don't feel bad skipping the other two
icyworld: hot stuff was perfect, love is dreaminess was inauthentic (use of jumps, rainbow notes)

how do you **** up dates that badly
2007 was when smg2 was released, 2009 was already post-odi

[moches]

excuse me for not having a Master's in Stepmania History. speaking of which isn't that why it might be a good idea to have that other thread? Arch0wl's chronology was awesome but I can't find it anywhere ;__;

edit: just realized 2009 was when Xoon Packs 2-4 were released. hahahaaa I'll admit it was a pretty dumb slipup on my part

not in the ludicrously biased way that that thread is presented

[moches]

I genuinely mean it when I say I'd like to see your opinion on how Stepmania's developed. it's an incredibly subjective issue but to be honest it fascinates me how many different reads people are getting on this game and I think it'd be a valuable resource to have.

I apologize if it seemed like I was biased earlier, that's not how I wanted to come across at all.

If you write out some guidelines on what to do and what not to do to make a nostalgic simfile, I'll use it if there is another of these packs (there better be!).

[TheNoSoMan]

If you can announce another Nostalgia pack, I'd be happy to submit to it.

I also remember hearing from AIJ that Thaor actually stepped Hot Stuff.

I would like to point out that Hot Stuff isn't my steps I copied it from a youtube video of thaor playing it. I said this when I re-released it here but this pack slapped my cd title on it anyways. I didn't know who made it at the time. But cool if thaor made it

i'll have to look back to remember what i meant about the jumps but syncing two random notes to 32nds for no apparent reason is a no-no

fixed for u

[i love you]

When I was making this pack I just went by Patashu's definition of "Old School".

Won't use most of the theories/techniques listed today, likely sticks to simple rhythms, patterns and quantizations, doesn't use too many holds/mines, isn't very technical, etc. This is not necessarily a bad thing; think 'keep it simple, stupid'

Even though what Patashu said is true, there were some old school files that did not follow this guideline so I tried to give out examples of exceptions to the rule indirectly (probably was a mistake on my part for not making it clear but it was just hard to explain it) So lurker, I would love it if you can write out your guidelines on how to make an old school file without it sounding confusing if you will. Definitely would help a lot if I were to do something like this again.

[bmah]

Pretty much, otherwise lurker's posts hold no water.

[Charlo]

Good pack, lots of fun files. Thanks again i love you for putting my file in the pack.

[i love you]

No problem Charlo. You make great files and I encourage you to continue stepping files the way you do now because they are amazingly fun.
