Is there a way to preserve whitespace in the code blocks? [pre] does not work as I would expect.

If you're using monospace and need an exact number of spaces, you can use transparent text.

[color=transparent]........[/color]
will appear as below (select the text to reveal):
........

Otherwise, I think you can use em ( ) or en ( ) spaces.

Here's another random question. What are the rules for scraping the site? It's pretty tedious to download each of 40 files.

There isn't a file at this link, but that doesn't mean there's no policy...

http://zenius-i-vanisher.com/robots.txt

If I put together a simple script to grab all of the files for a particular week, would that be helpful to share?

I've been gathering all of the files into packs.

That's very appreciated, but it doesn't help on Saturday, for example

It looks like I won't have time for votes this week. Sucks because On My Wings is getting a decent amount of votes too. I might have to sit out for a few weeks with school starting up along with my job being a dick about my hours as of late.

Jaw drop.
(IT'S ON. Just let me remove my half-tempo first)

---

whoops, did I steal another song from you? haha, sorry.


I think you should still submit it if that's what you were going to do.
(Of course I could totally be misreading your post)

---

OK, here's the deal.
I have a full simfile prepared for HandClap. It was to be used next week, not this week, because it has long half time segments. I don't want to split the vote on this song... because after having stepped it there is very little variety that can be used in stepping HandClap. It will be uploaded to Originals & Etc. later. EDIT: not this week Don't believe me? Try both files. The only major difference you'll find is the placement of each arrow, and what stops are where.
Also mf's cut is longer than mine.

Best of luck. I'm sticking with Rock City Boy. And how in the world does this happen twice in one week?

---

The feel when you have a 2nd file idea that goes at 128 BPM in mind but you want half time segments and that causes the simfile to fall short (it's only 128 BPM for 79.22% of the song...)



16 out of 77 measures here go at half time. It'd have to be out of 80 measures or more.



I could add more to the song to fix this, but then it'll be over 2:30 (it's 2:24 as it is)... X__X

Update: 8/6/2016, 10:47: fixed some stuff in and changed the video tag in the .sm and the .ssc so that it actually plays. Please re-download if you already downloaded it.

I'm not saying that the post from a member with 1 post is fishy...but...it just feels odd. What do you guys think?

Yeah, I think it's kinda odd. While all 4 files this person gave votes to are of course good (the first three landed in my +3 tier), one post AND being only 4 days old just screams suspicion. :/

Way to be cool, CuzcoBlocko!

Time to clear the air via pm.

Regardless...do we need to implement a rule that says people with 50pts are able to vote? :/

I'm all for participation, but that's just...so off. Registers just to vote.
