ODIPack3 submissions (Release when graphics are done)

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (May 18th deadline!)

ok the trick in changing the bpm to make the arrow different colors is alright, but i don't think they should become 12ths/24ths because it's so very clear that it's still the same 16ths and the most distinct non-4/4-rhythm you can have in music and of course in stepmania, is 3/4 (12ths/24ths), so either just make them 32nds, or if you think that is bad since you do that in another part of the file iirc, make everything that isn't a 4th or an 8th green or smth like that. they should for sure not be 3/4 anyway imo

regarding the guitar... i thought for sure that's what you were following in a lot of it...?

I'm kinda someone who tends to stick to the drums because the guitar parts kinda always seem harder to chart than they actually are and it drives me just bat shit crazy sometimes. I will say I layer the guitar and stuff but I'm not particularly focusing on it except for the solo really. It's not like Transparent where it's drowning out the other sounds and tbh just doing that all the time is what would make this chart boring as nails for me personally. Not sure what others think about it.

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (May 18th deadline!)

The community was never dead in the first place, it was striving and pumping out way more simfiles and simfile packs than ever before. You've been completely outta the loop for like 4 years so it's understandable as to why you would think this.

ODI3 is just one of several means to spark simfile activity, for the sole reason that no other major pack has lifted off the ground after the FFR Community Packs and having a veteran simfile author like glove return is a big deal. The timing of both was just too perfect and convenient, which explains all the activity going on really—this being an "ODI pack" is only a secondary factor for the attention this thread receives, not so much primary.

in this post I ramble about shit no one gives a fuck about etc

IDK man... As far as I'm concerned KBO never really took off and with FFR being down for so long and stuff it was pretty much dead.

But I also know that you, Kommi, Moches and all the other guys have been CONSISTENTLY trying new things and packs and stuff, so if anything it's because of you guys that we're ultimately here talking SM 4/5 years later.

Thanks for that!

EDIT: Ok I got time to kill tonight so I'll try doing some song selections... I have to open up the new SM and get familiar with it but I'll try my best to at least submit a file before the deadline. If I get pumped and have extra time I'll try to make more but we'll see.

really cool file haha. would say too easy and boring if it wasn't so unique and had good variation. always liked this song lol

I don't see it on the accepted list of the OP, could be because it doesn't have greeefix but just in case

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (May 18th deadline!)

Alright here's my plan of attack for this coming weekend!

1. Step Gravestoned. I love the vibes in this tune and it can have some sick bpm tricks (DON'T WORRY I'M NOT GOING BUZZARDS NUTS I PROMISE GUIEZ)
2. Step The Grey fucking Tide.
3. Complete my half of Buzzards to send to AlexDest.

Estimated time needed: 2-3 days

Hours of sleep since yesterday afternoon: 0

This train is rollin' all night lawwnnng *****z

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (May 18th deadline!)

I just failed to FC any of the songs I played when I opened SM. Couldn't even AAA Gillette. Couldn't even FC or AAA those Kommi songs that come with SM on FUCING MEDIUM DIF. Definitely a long way to go before I even start charting for this pack hahaha but I'll try my best.

hahaha ossa that happened to me too the first day i played again, and my wrists were so sore i thought i might have seriously injured myself hahaha. biggest advice: use DISTANT! it's awesome for reading, i've never gotten my MA back completly but i would never play without it now since it makes reading sooo much easier, lots of people use it (add about 150 to your cmod).

yeah i would like you to fix a few things that i feel would improve it a lot. actually, i would much rather include both reefer man and st alphonzos after fixing because they're superawesome and i already gave you a perfect cut of the reefer man =P

ok that's fine, the guitar is playing very similarly to the drums in many parts and it's the obvious lead instrument of the song so i just assumed that's what you stepped. you ended up with fun patterns by doing the drums+vocals so that's fine, but have a look at the other things i pointed out, especially making the 3/4-sections differently. tell me if you want me to cut the song for you and i'll do it later today.

Fuck yeah, I'll try that. I guess it will feel more familiar as other rythm games I've played often (DJMAX RAY mostly) uses that kind of technique. I'll give it a shot and report!

Yes. Yes, you did. (I know this, because on Youtube there were a couple of videos that showcased it (which I think are all down now). It was on Heavy difficulty, and I had a copy of it at some time in '08.)

that chart is stupid hard imo

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (May 18th deadline!)

I'd like to see some Ossa files too.

Also not my file, but Nanairo 32bit still needs fixes (just saying because song is awesome)?

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (May 18th deadline!)

I see this isn't too late for me to send submissions.
I'll try to make decent simfiles by the time.

Re: ODIPack3 submissions (May 18th deadline!)

Alright I'm finishing up Gravestoned tonight and gonna go through it in 0.5x to make sure all the tricks and stops keep the file on sync. (it's a cmod/xmod file so any one can play it ) hopefully your left hand is feeling a bit better Glove

Not sure if this is a hint or not
