Re: Song difficulty calculator - Something actually worth making

Yes, I agree it's freaking disgrace that MS didn't let Vista run 16-bit programs. I have quite a few good ones that force me to use my XP box just as much. I searched the web up and down for something that would work under Vista and couldn't find it. This is, in fact, the only working program I foun...

Re: Re:

Being my lazy self, I haven't read the whole thread, just the first page. I think this would definitely be done best through the use of a seperate program. With all due respect, you should have read the whole thread. Most of the first page is very old, and not relevant to the current discussion. We...

Re: Song difficulty calculator - Something actually worth making

Good point about reversed tapping. Writing a script to detect that might be a little tricky, but possible. As far as chord movements... Let's look at your examples. a) The system I have now gives 1.33 as the move value for 3-5 to 4-5, and that should clearly be 1 (staying on the 5 shouldn't count to...

Re: Song difficulty calculator - Something actually worth making

I tried looking at notes per second, but in my opinion it didn't correlate with difficulty very well. (Or at least not as well as my current formula.) With pure notes per second, hitting the same note over and over (easy) gets the same score as if those notes are on different keys (harder). So while...

Re: Re:

As to the first caveat, perhaps we're overthinking this. Why not divide the total score by the number of seconds in the song? You'll be able to keep your current scoring schema by then further dividing by, say, 11.1 (your abitrary value of 2000 divided by average song length of, say, 3 minutes). As...

Re: Random songs and folders in FOFix

I've never seen anything like this before. :S I have, in my game - at least I've seen a folder showing up in the game which I couldn't see in my system. But that was on the unmodded FoF, and the song was from the one time I tried that built-in song creator. What I mean is I never found where FoF is...

Re: Random songs and folders in FOFix

When you put the Shark Attack song.ini in the wrong folder, did you accidentally overwrite the song.ini for the Red Jumpsuit song?

Sorry if that's a dumb question, I may not be understanding your problem correctly, but it's the first thing that occured to me...

Re:

I guess that someone (that knows what he/she's doing) could make a separate program, that would analise the .midi files and then write all the information in the song.ini First of all, my apologies for bumping this ancient thread. I searched on this topic, and this was the most appropriate thread I...

Re: Cthulhu ftaghn!!

I love Lovecraft, especially his longer stories like "The Strange Case Of Charles Dexter Ward" and "At The Mountains Of Madness". Great stuff.
