In The Groove 3 with BG Movies

I downloaded the pack from the sim file section (https://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/viewsimfilecategory.php?categoryid=141) but most of the songs don't have a BG video, but in the SM there's the value for it IE. Hanging On.mpg, I found a few sites where its referred that the pack is big because of the videos, but since the links are old, they are all dead, does anyone have a pack with all the videos?

The pack doesn’t have the videos but the individual simfiles do, you’ll have to download those if you want the video. That’s what the (V) next to each song is.

I know that, but only 7 files have videos, but I saw online and on the sm files, that there are files for each song, instead of using randombg, for example, I have the BGA of Starfield, not present here.

I have what appears to be a full set of ITG3 songs in my collection. This includes videos and graphics with their proper ITG proportions (the set on here seems to have distorted banners to fit the SM/DDR proportions). I would be glad to upload them on here, but it would take a bit of time and I would also want to compare them to the existing files to make sure no data is lost.

I would really appreciate this since I'm a bit of a data hoarder/completionist, please let me know if you get around to do it.

Hey there!

I think Mute's uploads have my original videos: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1lgBk31WDAhUb3eUjYUCzIzNHp8KxU7sp

I can look around, but at this point they are _very_ behind modern standards, and it might make more sense to just run the raw BG scripts with the original assets. The reason they were pre-baked was because older hardware could not handle playing some of them back the way we were doing, heh. Might be worth looking at reviving the ones that just used the actual scripts, but we'll see. That opens up another can of worms.

Nice! Thank you! I will try them now.

EDIT: Like you said, they are extremely low res, it would be great to have it in native instead of a single file, but like you said, that probably will take more effort than it's worth.

I am downloading and comparing the files from the link above and comparing with my own for the ITG songs, will get back to here when I have more info on how mine are in comparison.

For people looking to use the original high quality scripted video files, they are now uploaded to the Footage section of the StepMania Build Archive website.

The ITG3 simfiles that are floating around are altered and do not correspond to the original ones with scripted animations, the real deal can be downloaded from there: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1GW1Du387pDOev4gJJrCLflRvpA3leHD3/view?usp=drive_link

Nice! Thanks for letting me know, I'll download them all right now

Edit: Found a few that don't have the effects or bgs, like Starfield, Hanging on, and a lot more

Edit: apparently not lol

This is very, very incorrect.

I'll get into more details when I'm not at IAAPA next week and look for other files.

Any news?

Yeah that entire pack only has a few background scripts, so I'm also interested in what these other files contain.

I'm especially interested because it still amazes me how completely broken the ITG3 pack(s) are.
Like how the ZiV pack has Reveal Yourself (morbidly broken), while the pack listed in this thread contains Like A Childbirth; none of these are present in Mute's or any other ITG3 package.

(And then there's also the broken stuff that currently still exists in every iteration of the pack(s), buuuut that's getting slightly off-topic.)

I assume you didn't find them, still looking for them if anyone has them.
