BG Scripts

The Lovecats and Love At First Sight's footage are reachable through here.



(Ugghh, that singing during Love At First Sight...)

One Step Closer;



When You Look At Me;



A Little Less Conversation was posted 3 pages back and we have the last two here, thanks to NicholasNRG.

... Oh, no. I only now found out that the only guy who provides Lovecats fails halfway.



How do I finish this now?.... >.<;

Try asking NicholasNRG if he can do this.

---

@NicholasNRG Can you? I'm sorry, but I didn't check all of the other 5 songs available to see if the player was stupid enough to fail, and apparently this guy couldn't make it through the entirety of Lovecat's standard chart...

Speaking of the Lovecats, who made this songlist? .__. One Step Closer, When You Look At Me, and A Little Less Conversation are the only exclusives I actually have some regard for (especially the first one).

No problem Here is The Lovecats full vid

I wonder why the market research team that worked on the Dancing Stage games felt that the games needed such unique songlists instead of the EURObeat and EUROdance songs DDR was known for. Maybe it's harder to license songs in japan, but they barely had any KONAMI Originals either. Poor europeans.

Thank you yet again. :3

I will upload the video showcasing all 7 scripts (all movies are synced to the music because custom speeds apparently got misplaced in Dancing Stage Megamix) as soon as I finish my ZSS2015 round 2 entry.

I will say that Fever and Fusion are a bit of an improvement. Licenses aren't limited to 4 footers for heavy, and some of the licenses are actually good (me; Cool for Cats, The Boys are Back in Town, Sexiest Man in Jamaica, I Believe In A Thing Called Love, Good Luck, and Freak Like Me; Everything here debatable).



This is a reference video I made for all 7 Dancing Stage Megamix songs. All videos go at 1x speed (except for Lady4 freezing at When You Look At Me), but I made everything here synced to the music because they felt more energetic that way.

I advise to compile the remaining 5 scripts before one of the artists or labels involved is an ass and takes the video down.

HA.

I knew ring5r was used! So it's not an accidental inclusion after all. (rotation1r is the only one I accidentally included)

Here's what's currently missing and should be added (as far as I know);

*amoeba4c (HYSTERIA and HYSTERIA 2001)
*bear4a (Gamelan De Couple)
*blizzard3r (FIRE DUB) (wow, what?? how unpredictable ARE these scripts?)
*dance12r (Rappers Delight)
*fish2a (MAKE IT BETTER (SO-REAL MIX))
*gradius3r (NEMESIS)
*gradius5r (OUTER LIMITS)
*janet1a (all 80 frames of the original clip)
*janet2a (same as janet1a)
*light5r (CAN'T STOP FALLIN' IN LOVE on DDRMAX2?)
*lines4ar (INSERTiON (Machine Gun Kelly Mix)?)
*night1a (When You Look At Me)
*ring11-fast (OUTER LIMITS)
*ring11r-fast (OUTER LIMITS)
*robot13-fast (OUTER LIMITS)
*sakura1r (MATSURI JAPAN (J-SUMMER MIX))
*silhouette2 (Can Be Real)
*snow1br (CUTIE HONEY)
*text16r-fast (OUTER LIMITS)
*tropical1a (Sunlight)
*tropical2a (Sunlight)
*tunnel3-fast (OUTER LIMITS)
*wave3r (Nemesis)
*The 13 videos still trapped on the DDR Extreme US/Dancing Stage Fusion discs;
**bubble5 (THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON)
**circle12 (THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON)
**circle13 (Familiar Feeling)
**circle14 (Rappers' Delight)
**colors6 (Rappers' Delight) (I changed my mind, colors6 makes more sense than lines6)
**dragon1 (THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON)
**dragon2 (THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON)
**dragon3 (THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON)
**lady21 (WAITING FOR TONIGHT)
**pentagon2 (Rappers' Delight)
**taiqi4 (THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON)
**water2 (WAITING FOR TONIGHT)
**wind2 (WAITING FOR TONIGHT)

Additionally, some of the DDR Extreme AC scripts (specifically the ones using the wacky cartoon videos) might have even more surprises. Once I verify the DDRMAX and DDRMAX2 scripts, I'll start inspecting all of them myself and looking to fix any errors.

I really wish those final 13 videos (and any videos that don't appear in any songs in the CS releases) could be ripped...

"You're Cuzco. You should certainly be able to remake the background videos yourself!"

That's.... not going to be easy because;

A: Some of the videos are ambiguous as hell. For example, circle13 is SO remixed in Rappers Delight and never appears normally, so remaking all 80 frames of that movie relies on guessing. "Where does this movie stop? How do the outer circles smoothly close in on the inner circles?" While the movie looks simple to remake visually, however, don't worry. Have fun guessing what the full version of circle14 needs to look like.
B: I'm not experienced with the style for some of them like Lady21.
C: I did not remake the assets of the remixed movies (bubble5 needs tunnel2, something I suck at, taiqi4 needs taiqi3, something I don't have, wind2 needs wind1, something I don't have, etc.)
D: Footage of Rappers Delight is only on a camera recording (and not screen recorded). That also makes it difficult to remake the videos.

SEXIEST MAN IN JAMAICA;



Gotta Get Thru This;



This took a lot of careful analyzing because of videos playing at 25 fps instead of 30, making it difficult to tell if videos are playing at 25 fps and 50 fps against 22.273 fps and 44.546 fps (synced to the music).

Speaking of which, I've decided to no longer make videos for Dancing Stage play at 25 fps when at 1x because we'd then need versions of all of the other songs that appear on Dancing Stage (like Broken My Heart, Peace Out, AM-3P, Colors, etc.) where every video that goes at 1x goes at 0.833x and that would be kinda pointless.

On that note;

Freak Like Me fixed;




Can someone provide a video-captured version of this song to help re-make the three exclusive background videos (and perhaps use them for fan-scripts)? Colors6 actually shows all of its frames, Pentagon2 only cuts off like, 20 frames that I think I know the patter for, and Circle13, I think I've figured out how to go about it.



I am going to be attempting to remake Circle13. My process will be showcased here (and it'll also contain the process for Colors6 and Pentagon2). Wish me luck, this might be one of the most interesting movies I go about...

Update: It's finished. And it was actually really fun to make, specifically making the pretty overlaps. Who knew a brown-vibed 6-shape movie could produce cool colors?



I will be including this movie, all of its subclips, and all of the movies above that I have caught up with in patch 3.

Good Luck;

Sorry to keep you waiting, here is Rappers Delight's bg vid.

....wow. The colors for the movies are WAY different than I thought they were. The movie in the middle is ORANGE instead of red.

Thank you for providing a clearer guide yet again.

....oh, god, that pentagon movie looks utterly complex and insane to remake. The orange whirls movie sort of looks easier, I just gotta figure out which one goes where....

Yup, I have never seen most of those backgrounds. They look really cool but clearly you'll need lots of layers for that Pentagon movie.

Seeing as you work so much with BG scripts from DDRMAX-FESTIVAL, would it be much to ask for a list of the songs in every game from DDRMAX to FESTIVAL (AC and CS, every region), that DON'T use generic background scripts? The ones that have dedicated videos or music videos. I've been wanting to make a pretty simple project where I add every song that has ever used generic background movies to DDR EXTREME, and give it a new unique name. It would be like DDR EXTREME: Definitive Edition. I want to know which songs to not add.

I was thinking of doing the same thing too. :P

It would get monstrously crowded, though.

There'd be folders for every game... Which means there'd be a version of SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW with Rainbow1, Rainbow2, Lines1, Lines2, Arrows2, and Text18, a version of SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW with Geometry1, Star2, Lines1, Lines2, Arrows2, and Text18, and finally a version with Tunnel7, Square1, Circle11, Tunnel6, and Pentagon1.

Anyway, here's what I know uses music videos.

DDRMAX2 USA;

CONGA FEELING (Also in DDR Party Collection)
Days Go By
DREAM A DREAM (same as CONGA FEELING)
IN THE NAVY '99 (XXL Disaster Remix)
Love At First Sight (this game only)
Take Me Away (into the night) (radio vocal)
THE WHISTLE SONG (Blow My Whistle Baby) (this game only)

DDR EXTREME CS;

Max. (period)

DDR EXTREME USA;

Go West
HIGHS OFF U (Scorccio XY Mix) (this game only)
Kids In America
Move Your Feet
ONLY YOU
You're Not Here
Your Rain (RAGE MIX)

DDR Festival;

KI・SE・KI (DDR edit)

Dancing Stage Fever;

Teenage Kicks
All That She Wants
One Step Beyond
Virtuality
Wannabe (this game only)

Dancing Stage Fusion;

Come Into My World
Heaven and Earth
Mickey
Someone like Me
Tough Enough (this is pretty rare, to be honest...)

Everything else is fair game. I am working on verifying the scripts for EVERY single DDRMAX-EXTREME background video game, which includes;

DDRMAX (11/42 done)
DDRMAX CS
DDRMAX2
DDRMAX USA
Dancing Stage Euromix 2
DDR EXTREME
DDRMAX2 CS
Dancing Stage Megamix
Dancing Stage Fever
DDR EXTREME CS
DDR Party Collection
DDR Extreme USA
Dancing Stage Fusion
DDR Festival

I somehow catch onto an alarming number of details with the scripts (and movies themselves) the average person doesn't notice. A good example would be blizzard3r. It literally only appears for 5 frames in FIRE DUB. I was amazed when I noticed it.

Other alarming things I've noticed include all of the videos that beware SHOULD have included in his DDR Extreme simulation but didn't; wheel2r, timer1r, ribbon1r, tuxedo2a, flower1a, bear4a, tuxedo1r, pills1a, pills2b, pills2c, dance10r, and amoeba4c. And don't worry, I bet there's many others.

Amoeba4c is also a good example. It's only the second half of amoeba4a, however, it was constantly confused for the clip being in reverse (amoeba4b). I only found this movie via this background movie glitch;



The main background movie directory is fucked up, and only 10 videos placed in a different location still work. Once Heart2 appears, it takes the datablock of all of the other 7 videos. Notice that at 1:21, where "amoeba4b" would be, heart2 isn't in reverse, but rather, starts halfway through the movie.

This got me thinking to compare amoeba4's usage in END OF THE CENTURY to its usage in HYSTERIA...




And indeed, amoeba4c is a required movie.

And I can't even begin to explain all of the things I see in the individual movies themselves (ESPECIALLY the type of movies used in these two songs). I'm not even sure myself how I latch onto such details.

Thank you for the list! I can totally relate to that, with the paying more attention to details than most people, though in other situations. It's great having people like you that truly go the extra mile to get authentic DDR simulation content, especially for nitpicky fellows like me

I'm pretty annoyed with Theme from Enter the Dragon for DDR Extreme USA though. Unlike I Need You, I don't seem to have access to those videos at all.

---

Ollec2004 vanished before he could get to those videos. >.<;

I noticed A LOT of scripts his DDR Extreme USA pack didn't cover, it was rushed. Thus, some scripts were unable to be made. The scripts I KNEW were missing included;

*DO ME was rushed (the cuts of heat1 aren't there...)
*Go West
*HIGHS OFF U's music video
*KICK THE CAN (film2r?? sun3r?? frog2r??)
*Kids In America
*Like A Virgin (star1r?? lady7a?? bricks1ar?? square2b??)
*ONLY YOU
*THEME FROM ENTER THE DRAGON (-___- Just purely overlooked.)
*WAITING FOR TONIGHT was rushed (Wind2?? Water4??)
*WONDERLAND UKS MIX (discoball1r?? fabric1r??)
*Y.M.C.A (disco4r?? star1r??)

There are other scripts not compiled, but they could were able to be done with just the current videos at the time. DON'T CLOCK ME was another one not scripted. However, the only video this song used that wasn't in beware's 2005 pack text12r, and text12r was included because of LADIES' NIGHT (this pack covered that song) so... it was easily doable.

I know beware worked to make sure his new 2013 pack is compatible with every old script made, and I commend him for that, but in my opinion, most of the scripts from the 2003-2005 time period are crap. Specifically the ones you specified here. Errors everywhere. They're not worth using because of all of the errors. In addition, an ALARMING amount of movies were missing or botched and they were easily able to be fixed or added but weren't... There was;

*The orange "DISTURB" wheel in MIRACLE (now text29)
*"SCREAM" in MIRACLE (now text28)
*disco2 in LIVING IN AMERICA, which was only reachable via DDRMAX3
*max2 in SILENT HILL 3rd Christmas Mix, which was only reachable via DDRMAX3
*The full version of boy5 used in The Boys are Back in Town in Dancing Stage Fever (now boy5a)
*The full version of lady12 used in FOLLOW ME (now lady12a)
*The full version of robot18a used in TELEPHONE OPERATOR
*Some of dance3's sequence was missing (used in Look To The Sky)
*ring12 without the sparks used in...an alarming number of songs

Not to mention...

*Some videos had an alarming number of dropped frames (circle1/light10, circle9, circle10, ribbon2, ring12, bear3, bear4, bear5, square5, all kl movies, text26, cactus1, robot14)
*There were bad jerky/errorneous recordings (wheel7, kaliedoscope11, kaliedoscope12, kaliedoscope13, kaliedoscope14, beads1, cube11, ring10, tunnel13, twinbee1, tunnel2r). In tunnel13, you could actually see A FUCKING ARROW in the movie that was an editing error....
*MANY videos (square1, orange1 (more like yellow1) cube6, cube7, cube10, cube12, cube13, pills3, text19, text21, wheel7, ring9, kaliedoscope11, kaliedoscope12, kaliedoscope13, kaliedoscope14, water2, heart10, and so many others) had a jarringly obvious hue error
*beads1, cube11, ring10, and tunnel13 were horribly stretched (they were recorded from DDR Ultramix... but tunnel13 could have been from DDRMAX.)
*

(It seems that A LOT of DDR Extreme videos were botched...)

And so many others. I didn't know it at the time, but the pack I had...sucked. The pack took from a bad source (I suspect it was ollec2004) and the errors were never fixed before release, and I got obsessed over getting the correct videos. ESPECIALLY circle11 (but that one wasn't recordable anyway) and boy5a. I wish I could have compiled my own pack, but I was an 8-11 year old that didn't know how to rip the IPUs from the consoles myself...

Nowadays, I give a huge thanks to beware for providing the disc-ripped 2013 pack today, and almost everything is available. And I'm also glad everything is still the same, I could imagine all of the headaches happening trying to fix everything to match the new names.

So to reiterate, I am working on verifying every single DDRMAX-Dancing Stage Fusion script that exists whatsoever, and I'm going to have to pester people to get footage of songs being played on DDRMAX2 arcade and Dancing Stage Euromix2 (e.g. DDRMAX2's CAN'T STOP FALLING IN LOVE has an entirely different set of videos, the PARANOiAs in Euromix2 has cube2, surprisingly). Once I'm done, I'll catalog all of the videos, explain what scripts use them without any overlooks, and then release the entire pack of .SMs.

All missing subclips like disco4r, I can easily provide myself. However, the only exceptions are those four songs that have console-exclusive randommovies. THEME FORM ENTER THE DRAGON is one of them.
