Figure out how to fix Blazing Hate yourself. I deleted the file when I rejected it, and even if I did still have it, it's not my job to tell you how to fix it. Now, maybe if I saw some real potential in the file I would, but I don't.

Don't give me any Kang files, or Skor, or Dukamok. I already possess or have played all of their files. I want stuff that isn't 2+ years old.

Now then, if you keep being so obnoxious, I'm going to block you. As much as I (sort of) appreciate your earnest attitude, I'd prefer if you would quite down. That includes my profile.

Just posting in this topic to say I will eventually submit some files when I stop being so lazy. I've got some in the works that will be pretty good (plus, they're not power metal!).

Alright well I'm going to step my own music and make my own pack and it's going to be called The best pack I have ever made.

I did check that message. All but one of the files I either already had or were simply not good enough.

Also, there is nothing wrong with prereleased files if they're good.

Ah, yes. Fair enough. Any suggestions as far as DT files of his you'd like to include? I love his DT files.

Oh and I've got a couple unreleased metal files for this on the way. Just gotta touch up a few things.

How long do you usually take to make files? I know a lotta it depends on what kinda song it is.

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2
 
Sulfer you gotta update the OP with all the accepted files. There are quite a few now. If you feel comfortable with it you can even PM me your PW and I’ll do it myself. I’d obviously understand though if you wouldn’t want to.

Sorry for not reviewing all of the new submissions. I had a graphics request that I couldn’t postpone anymore. Didn’t want to be rude.

(Joe D) Once in a Lifetime: Initially I thought this might be alright with the exception of a few blatant errors. However after measure 124 the file’s quality declined rapidly. Seemed like everything from then on was painfully out of sync. And the main solo (the heart and only real reason for playing a DF file) was riddled with PR and sync errors. Some superfluous notes, and others missed. Even the most rudimentary PR patterns were neglected. Sorry, homie.

Oh, and how’d you miss those 24ths preceding those holds in the intro? Yet you used 16th 200 BPM minijacks?




(who_cares973) Doomsday: Yes!! Fun file. Didn’t bother checking the sync. It felt fine and I know your files.

(Joe D) Blazing Hate: Damn son, this file needs PR. Also, the offset is incorrect. Might get accepted if those things are fixed. Possibly others required too.

(Dog_E) No One Wins: Terrible song choice. Some stuff’s outta sync too. Also lacked difficulty consistency.

(OMEGAspike) Antimatter: What’s with all the poor song selections? This is an easy arbitrary jump file with some missed notes. Didn’t bother to look any further into the solo.

(Dog_E) Father Time: I’ll have to look into this in more detail later. From simply playing it I can tell that it lacks PR, is a very mediocre song choice (at best), and there are some missed notes.

Also, a lot of the songs could be improved infinitely regarding their stepping potential if they were only cut!!

Ill try to look into those files later.But I thought Sulfer said PR wasnt very important in this.Im not very good at PR because when I use PR it just makes the streams more boring.Ill try to see what u meant on OIAL.Id rather let Sulfer decide on Blazing Hate.Scince he doesnt really discriminate on PR.Besides.When Its a spread chart for a more strict pack then Id layer and use pitch relevancy.Im gonna link u to a nice spread chart.I didnt focus on PR but layering was good

Degree of PR application is contingent on the song selection. When accurate however fun it is will ultimately be decided by the song. Guitar genres require much more PR than say a drum file for example. In the case of Once in a Lifetime though that’s really irrelevant, cuz completely excluding PR errors there are too many sync errors. Other parts (M124, etc.) also felt very awkward. Realize that selective layering is necessary to emphasize certain sounds. Or at least layering with jumps so a player can differentiate.

Add these sims please:
  • In The Presence of Enemies
  • Fatal Tragedy
  • Endless Sacrifice
  • A Change of Seasons

These are my best files. I have in mind to step Meshuggah's I or Metallica's Whiplash.

why would anyone want a different file for the first 3

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2
 
Uh oh, someone is being far too picky about pitch relevancy. I said not to worry about it. Fun patterns is all that is necessary. Okay, unless the file is obviously trying to be PR and fails miserably. Then I guess you should complain about that. Otherwise, not.

btw, don't bother playing the other Dog_E files Joe sent. They aren't worth the time.

Also, I'm still waiting for Doomsday to be resent with that one missed hold note fixed.

Probably not, and even though I'm not a fan of GLoVE's In the Presence of Enemies and IamMe's(is that right?) Fatal Tragedy, I doubt they could be stepped better. I'll take a look at that last one though.

If you want to play Glove's simfiles, go on, and don't download mine, but you can't talk by every people in the world. It's unfair.

Also I'm focused more in play the entire song and easier charts than the others, including less jumps and very few hands or quadruplets. I can pass those sims with A, but there are other players that can frustrate when they doesn't manage to hit any arrow.

Sorry homez. It's just that.... well it's DF ^_^. It should have at least a fair degree of PR IMO. Ultimately your decision will rule though. However even worse than the PR was the sync. It seemed roughly 1 quarter of a second off at parts. Felt like it (also seemed about that when I slowed it down).

Stepping anything that GLoVE has already isn't a good idea because they'll be overshadowed and I know they take a while to make. Invest that time elsewhere imo.

Patashu 05-26-2009 10:18 PM

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2
 
actually GLoVE does have weird quirks in the way he steps things. he's not perfect, in certain aspects he excels for sure

I do agree with the principle, however, that stepping songs that have not yet been touched is more productive than restepping something that's already done well, if not perfectly

Certainly, I respect Glove, but I'm focused in other kind of player. In fact, I stepped In The Presence of Enemies because the whole song is kickass, and I stepped the whole song. The Reckoning is actually the same as Glove's. I detached from the BIG song because some crazy player would want to play the same thing. That's like there are several versions of Overture 1928 out there, and all of them are nice to be played.

The thing that makes me mad is that appears someone saying that other versions of the songs he stepped are not worthly to be played.

PD: I have some problems with Stepmania in Linux, can someone help me??

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2
 
How can I update that when none of the other judges do anything? I actually have 20+ files in the folder. Those are the ones I've accepted and all the other files I already had when I started the pack.

Considering none of the other judges do anything and have probably just forgot completely, I will relieve them. For now, only I and N.T.M. are judges, and that is fine with me. Actually, I think I prefer it.

I'll update it if N.T.M. can give me all of his reviews in one place. That way I can figure out what we both accepted, or what one of us accepted and the other only had minor complaints about. If the problems are only minor I'll probably just accept the file anyway or even fix it myself if that's all right with the person.

Why don't you try to fix the things that N.T.M. pointed out? You don't have to do anything with the PR though, the patterns are fun. Also, maybe you should make a slightly easier chart without all the jacks and trills.

I liked one or two of those Dog_E files, but they are filled with so MANY errors and inconsistencies that I wouldn't care if the fun-factor was through the roof.

Like I haven't played GLoVE's Under a Glass Moon. When I was still playing, it was probably one of my top 10 most played files. It's also from the SMG2pack which I'm pretty sure everybody who is anybody already has.

I gave you four songs. Step another.

Well, it is from ODI2, but... this is meant to be a "collection" of metal. When I think about it, should it matter where the files come from? The idea is to have as many files from different musicians/artists and simfile authors as possible. I guess it couldn't hurt to include it and probably a few more of his best files, even In the Presence of Enemies if you want me to.



If you actually read all of this post, you deserve a cookie.

Yeah I wouldn't be able to make that from scratch EVER haha. But the original wallpaper looked much more bland so I vamped it up a bit.

But if it isn't 'up to par' then no worries. =)

Working on The Faceless - Prison Born

I got all guitars down, which makes for a standard difficulty file, oni has same guitars naturally but jacks instead of trills, i will add drums to Oni too, anyhow should I go for a heavy that incorporates the standard guitar (trills) with jumpstream, it's not really easy anyway 260bpm 12ths / 16ths or too many charts pretty useless? Also is jumptrillin indexable at all at those speeds? Oh well I'll delwe deeper when I'm back today.

EDIT: hookay I'm done with it, kinda (gonna ask around for playtesting before I send for judging)

*3 charts
-standard: no hands just guitar to PR pretty much, guitars are trills when PR is jacks
-heavy: drums added, solo will be left as breather place for harder charts too, guitars are trills when PR is jacks
-challenge: more drums added, very very hard chart, guitars are jacks when PR is jacks

so the charts actually reflect the words hehe

EDIT2: I tuned up the heavy to be "the playable chart" and took standard and challenge out (moved heavy to challenge), only missing graphics might make them now and submit.

Finally done with a file that's been a WIP since... forever. Gonna submit it now.

And Joe D I'll show you some parts I was referring to today.

Well I played through the recent submissions. I'll write reviews later. Oh and Joe D, my SM crashed mid-way through your Sacred Land file. Seemed solid though from what I played. I'll try it again later and then look at it in detail.

I'll also collect my previous reviews.

(SulferDragon) Swamp-Stamp-Polka: Nice layering here (as usual).

(SulferDragon) Hollow: Song is pretty monotonous at parts, but the solo makes up for that.

(SulferDragon) What Lies Beyond: Ooo, I love this!! Really solid overall. The guitar is really fun.



(Joe D) Sacred Land: Best file of yours I’ve played. Still though a few errors that need attention: BPM and offset are both off considerably. The offset is CLOSE to -0.285 (if you’d like I can get the exact offset for you) and play the last quarter of the song at .3x to find the BPM. Excluding the PR errors, measure 65 is minijacks, and m71 has one too many minifreezes. It autta look something like this:




Just fix that and I’d accept it.

*edit* If you really can't find it I'll just find it myself and give it to Sulfer so he can fix it.

I’ll go over OiaL again and some other stuff later.

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2
 
Almost just rejected this, but I think it may be salvageable:

(sp1nzoK) Prison Born: Nice graphics, however the file needs work. The offset is WAY off. Find the offset at either .3 or .2x song speed rate. Measure 12 is 16ths (not 12ths). I’m assuming there are other places like that. Also, the song isn’t 10 feet. Maybe more like 15.

Fix that stuff.

sp1nzoK 05-29-2009 07:18 AM

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2
 
Well I'm working on it, now 0.2x assist tick in DDReam studio hits pretty much so that I can't hear the bass drum from under it, the 12th to 16th part seems obvious now, also some snarehits seems to be 12th instead of 8ths (or that's what I'm checking now), took off the hands I had accidentally left in and other tuning, don't worry bro 8-)

EDIT: Turns out I've missed 16th from between bunch of 8ths, it's like ghost snare.

EDIT2: Turns out they're 24th ghost notes, kinda of unique and friggin hard aspect to file, ghost snare stream.

Sent fixed Prison born, if the gap is off horribly for some reason this time I'm more than happy to let you adjust it if it's not too much hassle, the file is harder than last time but more diverse, lots of minor fixing has been done.

Nice! I'll check it out later. And when you said 24th notes, do you mean like semiaudible middle notes? Also if you're gonna have 24th streams at 260 BPM you autta make an additional chart if difficulty consistency becomes an issue (determined by the length of the stream).

Well I'm seeing how BluearrowII does on it seeing he's pretty pro in SM, it's hard file and meant to be hard but not like it's full file with those parts and also it's not straight 24ht stream or jumpstream I'll try to describe it below:

X = 4th note
e = 8th note
(empty) = empty space
o = 24th note

rows with 24th note increments (the parts with these are 1-2measures long)

x---
--o-
----
-e-e
o---
----
-x--
--o-
----
ee--
---o

(and so on)

The 24ths are audible snarehits. Possibly I could just take the jumps out and keep it as PR guitar instead of adding bassdrums as jumps, or taking off the 24ths, or make watered down chart but it's meant to be a hard file and people usually go for the hardest difficulty for whatever reason so yeah 8-)

My own speculation is that the file might be fun for pro players and might be unfun for less pro players, still as scoring file or practice file for fast-ish jumpstream/trills/other stuff prolly for both

Pirate metal is not a genre. Just sayin'. :D

Anyway Alestorm is a pretty good band, I might step one of their songs at some point. Probably not for this pack, though. Although they just released a new album so maybe some of those songs are irresistibly steppable, I don't know. :P

sp1nzoK 05-29-2009 04:37 PM

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2
 
Gonna remove jumps from the 24th parts and alter placement / change placement of 3 arrows in 24th stream part, I'm pretty sure it will remedy the gripes I have myself with the file. No need to play the current [Fix] version N.T.M. I'm gonna send a Fix2 soon. :)

EDIT: Sent Fix 2... and Fix 3 since I was retarded and one arrow had vanished with Fix 2, sorry for hassle. It reads in email too but as I said if gap is off feel free to correct it :) also IF the 24ths aren't actually 24ths (I'm not 100% sure since I'm going nuts with dealing with my file haha) you can change them to correct arrows but keep the directions intact: (spots that I mean as follows) m13-14, m20-21, m55, m57-58, m60-63, m84-85 and m91-92.

With a lot of patience, BPM changes, syncing at low speeds and some odd arrows somewhere.
I do not use DDReam studio at all, but I use SM 4.0 to step songs because I can put BPMs with numbers

Submitting two more files and then I’m gonna consolidate my reviews and Sulfer will update the OP with the accepted files. Decent-sized list at this point.

What's it at? Around 20 accepted? Something like that.

*edit* sent

N.T.M. 06-2-2009 04:48 PM

Re: Astronomic Metal Collection 2
 
Reviews consolidated (those with new versions won't be included):

(SulferDragon) Swamp-Stamp-Polka: Nice layering here (as usual).

(SulferDragon) Hollow: Song is pretty monotonous at parts, but the solo makes up for that.

(SulferDragon) What Lies Beyond: Ooo, I love this!! Really solid overall. The guitar is really fun.



(Joe D) Sacred Land: Best file of yours I’ve played. Still though a few errors that need attention: BPM and offset are both off considerably. The offset is CLOSE to -0.285 (if you’d like I can get the exact offset for you) and play the last quarter of the song at .3x to find the BPM. Excluding the PR errors, measure 65 is minijacks, and m71 has one too many minifreezes. It autta look something like this:




Just fix that and I’d accept it.

(Joe D) Once in a Lifetime: Initially I thought this might be alright with the exception of a few blatant errors. However after measure 124 the file’s quality declined rapidly. Seemed like everything from then on was painfully out of sync. And the main solo (the heart and only real reason for playing a DF file) was riddled with PR and sync errors. Some superfluous notes, and others missed. Even the most rudimentary PR patterns were neglected. Sorry, homie.

Oh, and how’d you miss those 24ths preceding those holds in the intro? Yet you used 16th 200 BPM minijacks?




(who_cares973) Doomsday: Yes!! Fun file. Didn’t bother checking the sync. It felt fine and I know your files.

(Joe D) Blazing Hate: Damn son, this file needs PR. Also, the offset is incorrect. Might get accepted if those things are fixed. Possibly others required too.

(Dog_E) No One Wins: Terrible song choice. Some stuff’s outta sync too. Also lacked difficulty consistency.

(OMEGAspike) Antimatter: What’s with all the poor song selections? This is an easy arbitrary jump file with some missed notes. Didn’t bother to look any further into the solo.

(Dog_E) Father Time: I’ll have to look into this in more detail later. From simply playing it I can tell that it lacks PR, is a very mediocre song choice (at best), and there are some missed notes.


(foilman) We Are Not Anonymous: Much better jump trill placement in the intro although the file still lacks strong PR. Also regarding that 16th guitar stream in the intro: I see the consistency there, but the trill initiating the pattern feels awkward. Maybe something like 4321 would be more suitable. Just tell Sulfer what you‘d like it to be if you wanna change it and he can rectify it himself since it‘s so minor. M40 also feels awkward. IMO you shoulda stepped more prominent sounds there, but it‘s not too bad. Nothing at all significant enough to reject the file I think.

(Bluearrowll) Duncan Hills Coffee Jingle: I’ll go into this in detail later as a courtesy, but all I can say for now is that there were several significant issues. I’ll check again later. Maybe it’s salvageable.

(Coolboyrulez) Master Exploder: Fun file imo, but there are a few things that need attention. Places like that above measure 7 are off. There are some jumps that really could be more pr, but that’s fairly negligible I’m told (especially considering its context). Now regarding those 24ths preceding measure 2. They don’t sound like 24ths or look like 24ths. Why’d you place 24ths there?





(moches) Roar: Really solid Xoon Minipack file.


Eradication: Song choice is very poor here so it’d really take an incredible file (and a good cut) to get accepted. The pause above measure 25 seemed outta place and caused you to miss a following note. And those 24th drum hits above measure 41 should be 32nds. Some pitch errors too. Didn’t have to look further.

So again, some reviews omitted for obvious reasons and I still need to review other files.

*edit* Joe I should be able to go over those things in your OIAL file later tonight. Just been really busy lately.

Sorry, I was on vacation for a few days. I'll try to catch up on everything later.

From the looks of it, I'd say there are ten files that have been accepted for sure. Though there are still files that I have accepted that N.T.M. hasn't even played. Those ten don't include the files I already had in the pack when I started it either. I'll also try to post a list of the files that need only minor changes in the second post.
