This sounds interesting af
Post #822 · Posted at 2016-08-15 05:50:50pm 8.8 years ago
Feel better soon, ddrstepper.
No simfile from me for last week. I didn't find any food related songs that inspired me to step them.
However, I do have something to contribute: a python script to download one week worth of simfiles.
https://github.com/AngledLuffa/stepmania-tools/blob/master/ziv/scrape_category.py
To use it, if you have Python installed, just run it in the directory where you want the simfiles downloaded. It will keep track of any simfiles it already downloaded and avoid redownloading them, so don't worry about rerunning it later.
There are a few features that still need to be added, such as redownloading simfiles that have been updated since the last time they were downloaded. Also, there was at least one simfile in a past week which it fails to extract correctly (in cases like that, the zip is kept so the user can extract it). However, I think it's finished enough to be useful for people.
The default options currently download Food Week. Once Buddy Week files start coming in, I'll update the defaults. Anyway, there are already command line options to change the week or even the category being downloaded.
I didn't see a robots.txt which would forbid this script, and I didn't see anything elsewhere that would prevent it, but I will certainly take it down if it violates any of the terms of service.
PS I would not be surprised to hear of bugs affecting other categories, other weeks, or setups other than one I developed on. Feel free to PM me if needed. I wrote this using Python 2.7.12 on Windows 10.

Edit: Both of my slots are taken.
One side by Quickman, another side by Gameoson. Sorry if you by any chance wanted me to collaborate with your file also.
Original post: Here are some song cuts I have been trying or considering stepping and some other songs that I was thinking of making cuts for at some point. If anyone here is interested in working with me with any of them (I can only do two, though), let me know ASAP.
Edit: Oops, forgot to credit xXMokou98Xx for the Struck by the Rain cut, sorry...

Are people that aren't in the category allowed to collaborate with simfiles (with people that ARE in the category)?

These themes are getting harder by the week!
You'll have to ask me first. I can go back to 2 files this week, so there can be 2 potential collabs.
Votes soon. Not many submissions this week, huh?

Responding to some of the feedback
I assume you're talking about these parts:

The Freeze Arrow was very purposefully placed. It was intended so that you start the next pattern crossed over.
In other news, I've found two collaboration partners already.
idk if I'm going to go through with the votes post for [Mid Speed]
Quote: Nezemarth
++-Handclap (beat 171.5 felt a little carelessly synced)
Not sure what you mean at all. The note is accurate. And it's also the same as the three previous repetitions, so I don't really see what the problem is.Quote: AngledLuffa, regarding HandClap
- quite a few double steps
(or just awkward flow that makes double steps likely for the player)

@Cuzco Sure, I don't see why not. My only hope is that the other party still plans to participate in the voting process and isn't only contributing for the sake of submitting a file you otherwise would have made by yourself.

Will anyone actually look at the Doubles charts for any files? Don't really want to do Doubles on one of Cuzco's files when I'm not even sure if anyone other than me cares about them.

@Quickman Well, that would probably depend on how people decide to judge files. For example, I remember my voting process back in 2013 was to evaluate each collaborators contribution separately and merge a score I'd given them. So in your case, what I would probably do is play Cuzco's
and/or
file along with your
or
file (depending on whether or not I'd be able to pass it; I'm really bad at reading/playing doubles charts). But that's just how I would vote and IDK how other people would go about that (but I do believe this is one of the fairer ways to vote for this specific week).

What ddrstepper just described is probably the same thing I'll do this week. It's only fair to account for both people's work and not just who did the
chart.
Anyways, I'm likely going to be collaborating with DDRDAIKENKAI on a file this week. I've still got room for a second collab, so if anyone has any song ideas PM me a link so I can take a listen.

I don't know if it's just me, but I think this has been the most boring year in terms of themes.
BTW, this is the end for me. I'm starting my last semester at university so I won't have any time for the rest of the year. Being a teacher demands a lot of time.
Never won anything, no one cared anyways.
Bai bai. :*

Seems like a neat script, I can see this being plenty useful. Works fine for me, thanks a lot

~~
Also I'm probably open for collabs, especially if I don't have to write the lower difficulties hehe
Usually pretty picky with songs, but for a collab's sake I'd be fine with whatever (within reason; no fuck face)
