Stops and negative BPMs

I like it · 10-17-2008, 07:26 PM

Anybody know how to add stops? or how to properly add negative bpm tricks? Because I would like to know.

i think its f9 and f10 to add a stop

negative bpm, it depends on the song

**jimerax** · 10-17-2008, 07:55 PM

stops = F9/F10

don't know exactly how negative bpm works, since it gets buggy on my crappy sm.

also moved this to sm et al.

negative bpm: make a bpm change then make the bpm normal where you want it to end, save, load the .sm file in notepad/text editor of choice, locate the bpm change, make it any negative value, save, in stepmania select reload from disk, bam

when you hit the negative bpm you are teleported to the next positive bpm bypassing all notes

a negative stop works similarly, it jumps ahead in the chart by how many seconds the negative stop lists

PS negative bpms/stops do not work in stepmania 4.0 afaik, they may or may not work in 3.95 but they definitely do in 3.9

Just be sure that when you include pauses you don't compromise the alignment of the notes. Frequently people do this and then try to compensate by using incorrect notes instead of adjusting the the pause which caused it in the first place.

i make negative bpm files without notepad

who_cares973 · 10-20-2008, 12:53 PM

for negative bpms you can also hold down the F7 key until it the bpm goes negative

also i didnt know you could make negative stops....

kommisar[os] · 10-20-2008, 12:55 PM

those you need to go in notepad. jenovasephiroth taught me how to make them (if you've ever played his v^3 file it's a freaking minus bpm stop nightmare)

who_cares973 · 10-20-2008, 01:14 PM

i still dont get negtive bpms....

stops are probably the easiest to learn how to use

Skipped arrows still count towards score. So, you know, don't abuse it

ffr444guy · 03-12-2009, 03:47 PM

Negative BPMS/Stops are pretty cool if you use them right. (see: JS's V^3 simfile)
As defined by the SM developers. Negative BPM/Stops is a glitch in the SM source code which was fixed in SM4CVS/SVN. So thats sims with neg bpms/stops don't work.

Though you can perform skips in SM4 Using megaBPM (~200,000bpm)
