DDR X2 (PS2) (N.A.) Work Thread

Crazy Control still feels a little early, anyone agree?

---

I tried it, I thought it was on sync pretty much.

I notice you only work for the songs not the COURSES

---

Yeah, well, courses are easy enough for players to make themselves anyways.

Speaking of courses, know of anywhere where I could find banners for them?

I actually investigated this for all of us.

If you go into SN2's metrics.ini file and change "MinimumDelay" from 0 to 3.9's default of 3 seconds, it does nothing to the videos. Even if you replace the metrics.ini of the SuperNOVA 2 theme with the 3.9(+) default, you'll notice that the video start times are still unaffected.

Thus, I immediately moved on to BGAnimations. The culprit appears to be \BGAnimations\ScreenGameplay in\. If you change that BGAnimations.ini to take 3 seconds (3.9's default value is 2) instead of SN2's value of 0.682, "Let's Get It Started" (which has a video offset of more than -4......) is considerably less off-sync.

Basically what this means?

Negative video start times are WRONG, and I believe the sm files and/or m3ps should be re-done/re-encoded so this can be fixed.

(disclaimer: I have no knowledge of theming, but I'm not inclined to believe the theme was written wrong versus the sm file's bganimations being written wrong)

---

Hahaha, I spent a bit of time just pushing the start times a few measures back so the video will start properly on the themes I use.

neothe0ne, it would mean sacrificing the effect on how they would appear in-game for compatibility with StepMania.

I don't know, but I don't feel like uploading over half a gig again.

On Heatstroke double standard and challenge, there is a pseudo-hand on the first beat of measure 52, one of the freezes needs to be moved up.

---

tee-hee thanks for spotting that!

sent the fixed sm file to alan.

No problem

---

I played it, and as the song went along, the song got more and more out of sync. It may be a bpm problem?

Why is the Sample Length in roppongi EVOLVED ver. C 12.000 seconds, when in every other song it's 15.000 including roppongi EVOLVED ver. B and A.

Also is the pack ready for final sync yet, I just downloaded it yesterday since there have been no changes in some time (I assume the steps are all finished now).

---

sent the fixed sm file to alan.

Sync check was done ages ago, anything after is just pure fixes.

You mean Pluto's sync was checked and accepted?

---

Yep.

Well it sucks bad, I thought it was a very rough sync.

Anyways I'll post fixes as I find errors, so far I've tried the first song only and the BPM was considerably off, I suggest changing the sync to:

#MUSIC:A Brighter Day.mp3;
#OFFSET:0.191;
#BPMS:0=155.046;

As always, my offsets are based off the StepMania 4.0 synching standard. The big here was the BPM was too slow.

---

Please take into consideration that some of us still use stepmania 3.9 and 3.9+ I thought the sync was fine.
