Z-I-v Summer Contest 2015 [Back to school, kiddies, the contest is over.]

A lot of entries in quick succession as the deadline approaches its close...
From Tekken Tag Tournament 2. Originally made as an [Not Rhythm Games] entry but didn't make the deadline. Finished and cleaned up as it's okay with this week's theme. Uses Oni-91's generic background. Also as far as I know the "(Wayang Kulit)" part is part of the song's title and not just the explanation for this song's stage, as per vgmdb entry on this soundtrack

Going back to the end of the alphabet. Hopefully, this doesn't spell doom.
Also, prepare for 12ths. Loads of 12ths.

I hope you enjoy this file!
Votes! PM for reviews, no time this week to pull out a review post, sorry.

+5: ROCKET KID [AkihiroIIDX]
This is just... amazing! Possibly the best BPM changes I've seen all week!
+3: ヒデオ体操第一 [Oni-91]
I can't stop laughing the entire time. Very well done!
+2: D [Gameoson]
As expected, a very nice file!
+2: The Devil [brunobg24]
Been a fan of this song. Steps do not disappoint.
+1: DUE TOMORROW [brunobg24]
+1: do i smile? [Gameoson]
+1: Mirror [ddrstepper]

Additional notes (might have been said already but I don't have time to check now):
- Electric "Sister" Bitch [CLOUDIO]:
It looks like b265.75, the part where there is a change to 370 BPM, is only 3 16th notes long, while it should have been 4. The rest of the chart is off by a 16th note.
- Spooky Magician's OP(Mr. Brown(JAKAZiD Remix)) [JunkoXXX]:
You're using loads of BG changes. Keep in mind that in order for them to work, you have to send the movies as well. Best way to do this is to attach them in a custom ZIP.

Totals: *effectively kicking myself out from placing (but then if I don't vote I won't place anyway)*

NOTES
Bad Audio:
How We Do (Party) - seems low quality. would have probably voted for it if the audio wasn't bad.
Hurry Up! (Tronix Dj Bootleg Edit) - seems low quality
Nude Beach a Go-Go - seems quiet
(I Think I'm Goin') Outta My Head - seems quiet

Other
RageBitmapTexture: Couldn't load /Songs/[Punctuations]/[Punctuations] - Go Beyond!!-bg.png: No such file or directory
RageBitmapTexture: Couldn't load /Songs/[Punctuations]/[Punctuations] - Planetary (GO!)/AlbumArt_{4692F15D-E1FF-410C-8982-87DCF40C080C}_Large.jpg: No such file or directory - the jacket shows as a magenta square.
RageBitmapTexture: Couldn't load /Songs/[Punctuations]/[Punctuations] - S!ck-bg.png: Unknown file format
Zigeunerweisen, Op.20 - the jacket shows as the banner stretched to a square
(I Think I'm Goin') Outta My Head - the jacket shows as the banner stretched to a square
F.D.B. vs. Rituaal (Feraligatr MashUp) - the correct tag of the Young Dro song is "FDB" without periods. so, if you didn't create this mashup, the "." in "vs." or the subtitle wouldn't exist, so i'm not playing this file. it feels like cheesing the theme to me.

I should have made a mistake while uploading, because I never use jackets D:

---

Did you use headphones? If you did they possibly are poor quality because it sounds fine here. If there is anyone else who has this problem I'll reupload the sound file with the quality fixed. Thank you for telling me chewi.

That's weird. I don't know what to do about that. I re-downloaded it and everything is working fine.

This error showed up because I didn't actually include a .bg image. I did include an AVI, in a custom .zip.

@HealingDMax300, maybe next time, you should rename your images to something less complicated, i.e., [insert song name]-bg.png (without brackets) and change the.sm accordingly.
It could also be that when you uploaded your bg/jacket to here, it was renamed to match everything else and the details in your.sm don't reflect that change. [I think that was a bit redundant]

---

There's a chance it could just be the theme I'm using's fault... but I noticed in your .sm file the filenames don't match the auto-generated ZIP file.The files get renamed to [Punctuations] - Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20.png for the banner and [Punctuations] - Zigeunerweisen, Op. 20-bg.png for the background. Just something to think about for next time.

I tried with 2 different pairs of headphones.

It's the same thing as above, your .sm and .ssc files point to files that don't exist.
Everyone should double-check your .sm and .ssc files before uploading so that the filenames match up with how they will be named when uploaded to ZIv (in this case, adding "[Theme Name] - " to the beginning of the files usually does the trick.

I'll reupload the sound file later today.

I initially didn't capitalize both letters in GO!, just the G, and the .sm and .ssc were set to that while I named the graphics and audio with correct capitalization. I changed the GO! to Go! for the audio and graphics to match the .sm and .ssc and re-uploaded everything. Hopefully it works now.

At least I know what I'm going to step this week.... Hopefully it will be better than before....

One thing I learned here: Adapt with how the system works. I always do workarounds to make sure files work. Case sensitivity matters in filenames, even in general. While windows thinks that "FILE.png" and "file.PNG" are the same files, a typical internet server won't.

Cue the whole Pendual soundtrack.
