Making a Gap
I dunno if people will hate me for this or something but maybe a little tut for those who really dont understand and are accidentaly making bad stepfiles.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gap is when the arrows are starting so its important. With a bad gap you'll get yellow or orange arrow syndrome, which means you have a problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Step 1. Finding your gap. If you dont have it already, download audacity or you'll have a problem (Proggie that I use to find gaps). Link:http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ Now that you (hopefully) have audacity, here is a picture discribing what to do. Now that you have your gap, its time to open up notepad or XStep. Since I dont usually use notepad, I decided to pick it first Okay open up your .dwi (you should know how to create from Synthlight or arch0wls tutorials) Here is an example (Max 300) #TITLE:Max 300; #ARTIST: Omega here; #BPM:300; #GAP:0.869464; Im not really used to making stepfiles with notepad, so hopefully this is how it would start. -=====================================================================================- MaKiNg GaP wItH xStEp =-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------= Linkie linkie:http://www.thomasscott.net/xstep/ Okay if your like me and make the .dwi file with xstep, this part should seem pretty simple. Just take a look at the img and it will make sense (Same song example as in the text one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay good job. Hopefully this is the correct way to make gaps as this is how I make them -_-. |

GAP = the time from 0.000 (the start of the mp3) to when the first beat occurs. Sometimes your GAP is not the first "noise" on the stepfile.
So if you had a song that had a GAP of 4550, Stepmania will wait 4.550 seconds before it begins the first beat. |

I know, but usually in most of my songs it starts on first note.

why does every1 make such a to-do about the gap? just get it at least close to accurate, make the steps, then spend 5 minutes playin with it afterwards.
