DDR Hottest Party Work Thread

Last Update: 2008-07-02 20:06 GMT
Dancing Stage Hottest Party was released today and unfortunately, there's no Edit mode. So completing the simfiles will be very tedious. If you want to help, get the packs that are found in this thread. Credit to those packs go to Archer.

All simfiles for the NA release are complete! Just take a look at the link below.

Simfiles completed
Let's take a look

Just to add:

Use these mp3s. They come directly from the soundtrack apart from the four songs that weren't on the Japanese version which are 128kbps lineout quality.

What simfiles need to be worked on?

Basically, I have no problem transcoding the steps from the videos. The big problem I have is I can't get the timing information right for syncing it.

If someone was willing to go through and set the timing data up for each of the files (big job, I know), then I could hammer my way through and get the steps in.

All of them needs work. If you want to help, just download the simfiles that archer has. The link to it is in the first post.

And Archer, I don't understand what you're saying. Can you re-word it?:3

Basically, he can't get the BPM and GAP spot-on, and he can't start stepping them until he gets it right. I'll give it a shot.

Grabbed it, thanks.

For those recording your own videos and stepping off of those: Use gamecube controllers to get it into 4 player mode, so that you have all 4 charts next to each other. It's much easier to put the lone arrows in the beginner chart in the right place when you have the expert chart right next to it to compare with. I did that last night, and it only took me two hours to get the steps for Blue Monday. Not synced correctly, but that can be fixed later.

Edit: Too busy dancing last night to sync, but I've uploaded the steps anyway.

OK, if DDR:UK are right, Dancing Stage Hottest Party should be out on Saturday. If so, I can get to work on steps really quickly (thanks, Edit Mode!). I'll be able to do all the ones on the EU version. What songs they actually are though...we don't know.

---

Thought anyone might want this...//

---

Haha nice, doubt we're gonna get any exclusive songs though.

Well, I've copied the steps for "1998 (Sparky 2005)", unsynced, and I forgot to bring them to work, so I can't upload them anyway. Going to make another go at Pluto, so I probably won't get around to trying to sync it until tomorrow night at the soonest. Anyone watching, don't waste time getting down the steps for 1998 or Blue Monday, I have those steps.

Hey guys,

Whatever files I have that are completed, or sent to me completed I'll upload onto my server. The files will be stored in http://ddr.locusincompertus.com/HP/

I just completed B4U (The Acolyte mix), but I still need a banner for it if anyone knows where one can be found (it's not on the Konami website like the others were). I've also finished up BREAK DOWN (World Version).

Is anyone other than me still working on these?

If anyone is... I have a lineout for the secodn version of tokyoEVOLVED, and a youtube audio rip for the third version of it... along with the corresponding Expert steps for both of them stepped.

I'm still working on them, just very slowly. I've been getting ready for college and schoolwork and band practice has been taking up most of my time.

---

I can step whichever others need it, but I'm no prayerwarrior so it's not gonna have godly syncing. I'm just glad all those banners look so good, because the best I could BS them to was an uneven resize and Paint.NET's Sharpen tool X)


Progress so far:
Super Samurai
tweaked (7th arrow in measure 21) using bigfootkevin's vid as a reference. The arrow was moved back a 16th to red.

Beautiful Inside (Cube::Hard Mix)
done. Apparently colons can't go in song titles, so I used a hyphen rather than make character (picture) files.

Blue Monday
done. That BPM is definitely not 131-even; it's somewhere around 130.58. The Heavy chart for this is awesome.

You Spin Me 'Round (Like a Record)
done. That's another fun chart.


Remember to rename these TXTs to SMs when using them! Geocities is nice for providing a quick text file, but it doesn't like weird file types =P

---

I'll see if I can summon the will to do a couple over the weekend. I can't sync well at all though, so they won't be synced correctly (not a AAA player).

---

silent, no worries there. I've been busy with work myself, along with the never-ending debugging of the Stepmania 3.9+ project. I was just hoping that I wasn't the only one, because I looked at the remaining work to be done and cringed at having to do all of that.

Mage, awesome. As soon as I finish playing around with HL2 Ep 2 tonight (Orange Box ftw!) I'll grab those and update the listing on my site.

Kyzentun, no worries on syncing. If you can step them and send them to me, I'd be happy to sync them up for you.


Also, I have a mem card reader on the way, so I'll finally be able to dump a fully unlocked save file onto my Wii and get a lineout for the third and final variation of tokyoEVOLVED (not to mention grab the missing steps for all the variations... I can get it on Free Play random but it only plays the jump-step-jump variation that way [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcf0iFiRdco]).

Yeah I'm really looking forward to 3.9+, but I think I'll wait until the debugging gets finished. I don't want to overlay my current version yet (too much stuff to keep track of) or have two concurrent SM versions installed at once.

Great to hear you're getting a reader! I think that will leave just the JP songs to get... sure wish there were Youtube videos for those =p
