here is the link: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1aU-79HOSIj3_ZtElRoEwOjsFzfRzHiiO/view?usp=drivesdk. this is played on beatx(which is just stepmania for mobile). as you see in the picture, my phone touch sampling rate is shit yet i cleared it. wait for a while before the song load if you first open the video. the space the controller is in is quite too light so zoom in where my finger is moving to see. is this world class?

Discussion How to play stepmania?

0 Upvotes

Any tips on how to play, what to play, where to download what, where to look for songs? I donwload itgmania and she It looked and felt like arcade machine, showing what songs you were playing after entering the settings and Seeing each score, and the songs are mostly crap because they are either hard to read or confusing or you have to press one button every 30 seconds and didn't look nice she doesn't look like what I saw on YouTube or TikTok, I donwload project outfox and the problem with maps was the same , I downloaded osu mania (i use arrows skin)and the GUI, the look, settings and gameplay look better but the difficulty levels were crap because everything above 1.1 had too many notes at once

Suggestions for the site Zenius -I- Vanisher: Songs and Stuff from other BEMANI games to download

1 Upvotes

Hi. My name is ElConejito96.

You see, you will get to know the website of Zenius -I- Vanisher, a website dedicated to the BEMANI gaming community. Where they have a subforum dedicated to the personalization and addition of songs from both the DDR and own songs made by users, usually for the Stepmania.

But what about this website? That this site only offers DDR songs in simfiles to download and some videos and animations.

I tried to register in that site but I could not do it after several attempts.

So please, if you here have an account created on that website, I want you to say several things for me, because as I said, I can not create an account on that website.

My suggestion is to add songs and things from other BEMANI games like beatmania, beatmania IIDX, pop'n music, Guitarfreaks and Drummania.

In case of beatmania and beatmania IIDX:

  • I want the songs to be BMS format and BME format in case of the IIDX songs. I do not want them to be in simfile format, I want to play with those songs with the keyboard and when pressing x key I make different sounds. That the songs go from the classic beatmania that originally came out in Japan for the arcade machines of 1997 (also known as 1stMIX) to beatmania THE FINAL and its adaptations to home consoles. And in the case of the songs of the beatmania IIDX, which goes from the first game that originally came out in Japan for the arcade machines of 1999 (also known as 1st Style) to copula, since SINOBUZ and CANNON BALLERS are games that still have support on the part of Konami and it is preferable to extract songs from games whose support has already ended some time ago.

  • I want the songs to have their respective animations that consist of images in BMP format and their respective videos in the case of the songs of the IIDX. I remember that I downloaded several packages of classic beatmania songs until Dream Come True from BMSworld.nz, and I saw that the songs did not have any of their animations, they only had an empty black background, I also downloaded a package of songs based on beatmania IIDX 1st Style and I saw that not all the songs had their respective videos and were not well synchronized. So please I want the songs to have their respective animations and their respective videos and that all are well synchronized and include miss animations if you have not played a note on time. I want you to get those animations and videos, extracting them from the original console games, MAME roms or the HDD.

I will give two examples:

  • U gotta groove (from beatmania 1stMIX): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxBCnbX5QEw

  • The Theme from "Flo-Jack" (from beatmania IIDX 1st Style): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGsVYSkiQE0

  • I want themes and noteskins based on the classic beatmania and the beatmania IIDX, I remember having downloaded a theme for the Stepmania based on the beatmania IIDX 15 DJ Troopers, but it caused problems in the most current versions of Stepmania. So please, I want you to make themes based on each of the beatmania and beatmania IIDX games that have come out and that all work well in current versions, I also want noteskins extracted directly from the original games.

In the case of pop'n music:

  • As well as the songs of the beatmania and the songs of the beatmania IIDX, I do not want them to be in simfile format, in this case I want to be in PMS. I want to play those songs with the keyboard and when pressing x key I make different sounds. That the songs go from the first pop'n music that originally came out in Japan for the arcade machines of 1998 to éclale and their console adaptations, since Usagi to neko to shounen no yume (or the rabbit and cat and boy's dream) or simply UsaNeko is a game that is still supported by Konami and it is preferable to extract songs from games whose support has already ended some time ago.

  • That the songs have their respective characters that serve as rivals and that for the characters to go out in x song you play, before they have to be added in the Characters folder so that it works. For example, the song Again My Lovely Day must include the character Anzu, so that this character comes out when he plays that song, it must first be added to the Characters folder. I also want to have options to download the characters and songs separately in case only the songs or the characters or because you want to download it separately so that the files are not so heavy. I want you to get those characters by extracting them from the original console games, MAME roms or the HDD. Here are two examples:

  • Quick Master (from pop'n music 1): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2EKzoNFLuM

  • Don't Disturb (from pop'n music 2 CS): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpTSdFB_wdU

  • I want themes and noteskins based on each of the installments of pop'n music, both arcade and console, I remember that I downloaded a pop'n music theme for Stepmania, but it is a basic theme that only had the noteskins and the characters are only adornment gifs, so I want themes that are better than that basic theme that I did not like at all.

In the case of Guitarfreaks & Drummania:

  • Again, like the songs of beatmania, the songs of the beatmania IIDX and the songs of pop'n music, I do not want them to be in simfile format, in this case I want them to be GDA and DTX. Because Stepmania does not support these formats, it must be suggested that for these songs to be playable, the use of DTXMania is required. It should be noted that I am not good at this type of songs playing with the keyboard, especially Drummania. But DTXMania has the option to put the controls in autoplay so you do not use all the controls, although you will get less points. Returning to the theme of adding songs, I want the songs to go from the first Guitarfreaks that originally came out in Japan for the arcade machines of 1999 to GITADORA Tri-Boost, since Tri-Boost Re: EVOLVE and Matrixx are games that still have support on the part of Konami and it is preferable to extract songs from games whose support has already ended some time ago.

  • That the songs have their respective animations and videos, I remember that I downloaded a package of Drummania 1stMIX songs from a link that a reddit user requested, which is a link to be seen: https://www.reddit.com/r/rhythmgames/comments/57v3l1/i_cannot_find_any_dtxmania_songs_please_help/

What's going on? That not all the songs do not have their respective animations and / or videos, they only had a background. So please, I want the songs to have their respective animations and videos, and in the meantime they are well synchronized and have miss animations. I want you to get those animations and videos, extracting them from the original console games, MAME roms or the HDD.

I will give two examples:

I know that Dance Dance Revolution is the most popular game of the BEMANI line of games, but it does not mean that it is dedicated exclusively in those games. For games like beatmania were the origin of the BEMANI line, since the name BEMANI comes from beatmania. If it had not been for this game, they would not have the Dance Dance Revolution franchise they love so much.

So please say all these suggestions in Zenius -I- Vanisher for me if you have an account in that website, I tried to create an account but I could not after several attempts.

What would you actually want an auto-charting tool to do?

4 Upvotes

I’m currently working on a university project around automatic chart drafting for 4-panel rhythm games. I’m starting simple, but I’d like the design to account for proper pad-oriented charting rather than just treating the arrows as four keyboard lanes

The idea isn’t “give it an mp3 and let AI make the whole chart”. In my case the tool can have access to the original MIDI/DAW project, so note timing, BPM changes, musical phrases, repeated motifs, etc. are already known pretty accurately

What I’m interested in is the part after that: turning the musical structure into something that feels intentionally charted

For example, the system could control things like:
-density throughout the song
-streams/bursts and breaks
-repeated or related patterns for repeated musical phrases
-jumps, holds and rolls
-pattern complexity
-difficulty progression
-how patterns transition into each other
-BPM/scroll/gimmick changes where appropriate

For pad charts there’s obviously another layer too: crossovers, doublesteps, footswitches, brackets, awkward transitions, and generally whether a pattern actually makes sense for two feet instead of only looking reasonable on a note field

The goal would be to generate a first draft for a charter to edit, not a “one click finished chart”

So for people who make StepMania/ITG charts:
What parts of charting would you actually be happy to automate, and what parts would you always want to keep manual?

And maybe more importantly: what are the usual giveaways that a chart was generated rather than intentionally authored?

Things like bad flow, meaningless pattern changes, difficulty that doesn’t follow the music, awkward footwork, excessive repetition, etc

I’m mostly trying to figure out what an actually useful drafting tool should understand before I decide how much of the process should be automated

NOTE: the project isn’t gonna be some ai slop generator and MAYBE some local ai could be used for song section intensity/structure mapping, not for everything

Turning off scoring?

0 Upvotes

Hi! My kids like to play with me sometimes, but are absolutely unable to just have fun with it if they "did bad". It's killing the vibe. Is there a way to disable scoring, like a non-competitive gameplay style? Would be great if it could be tied to certain profiles only and if it could be toggled on and off. Thanks!

Edit: I did find in the Theme Settings (I'm using Lambda) an option to turn off displaying the score during gameplay. I'll try that out and maybe just tell them to close their eyes when the scoring screen comes up lol

Support Request Now, i really need to think about if i really needed that l tek pad.

0 Upvotes

My mom said that i had to think about if i needed that l tek pad. Since I told her about my PC soft pad's down and left buttons didn't work half the time now and still thinking about getting an l tek pad, she said stuff like "you can't return it" or "where did you go to get it fixed?". I told her they offer replacement parts and she said "how are you gonna fix it?". If the l tek is gonna act like my PC soft pad where it didn't work in a few days, that means i'm gonna waste over $300. Tell me how good quality your l tek pads are and how frequent i'm gonna fix them.

Gameplay I genuinely don't understand why people tell me to use a lower cmod

0 Upvotes

Even after actively spending time at a much lower cmod than I used to use (1000+Overhead) as opposed to 1450+distant), I've found that I consistently do better when I bump it up to around 1250/1300 + overhead.

I sincerely do not understand how people can read at such low cmods, everything is so slow and cluttered it's impossible to tell note from note. And I even use 75% mini.

I just don't get it, it seems like people actively give me 'advice' that just leads me to doing worse. Not that I can get very much better than I am, if at all, 'cause retardation, but still.
