(Yay!)
Well, I'd be happy to make another song or two given the demand, but I'm not sure what to make...But I have a suggestion: why not make your own songs? It's totally Fun And Easy®!
The first step (as you can see if you crack open the .love file) is to add your song in a folder, drop in a random background image, add the song, create an empty .tp file, and register it in index.txt (because I'm too lazy to find out how to scan a directory ;-). Like this!
Code: Select all
name = Don't Stop (2007 mix)
artist = Dj Slow
arr = F687/s
music = Don't Stop/dontstop.ogg
chart = Don't Stop/dontstop.tp
bg = Don't Stop/dontstop.jpg
%
Also don't forget to add that last % sign, it flushes the buffer. Next up, the .tp file itself. It's pretty easy to parse, a !number header starts the chart for that difficulty, a . means there's no step, anything else means there is. The parser does care somewhat about whitespace (like, that it exists between steps), but it doesn't care how much. And each line corresponds to 1/16 (meaning 4 in a beat, 16 in a measure). I chopped mine up into 16 so I wouldn't get snagged on an offset error, and I even made a nice Perl script that checks it for you!
And you're done! The hard part is just writing all the notes, testing them, and matching the BPM.
Of course, that's if you
want to make your own songs. I have
one other one that I used for testing, but I left it out because the notes inexplicably aren't lined up with the beat, but they register just fine. It's even in the index.txt file, but commented out. And hopefully, I'll have something else playable before the end of the weekend.
(probably something from DuckTales or similar, but hey, you asked... ;-)
