The SM2ITG Converter - v2.1 WITH SIMFILE ANALYZER RELEASED!

[daphat38159]

Why don't you just downgrade it to r21?

Frosty..
your an amazing programmer..
I have a challenge for you..

Make A program that Tricks R23 into playing the full song without 2 minute cutoff

You need machine access for that one, it has nothing to do with the song/sm content.

Why don't you just downgrade it to r21?

We arent able to do anything to that machine.. the only person who could do it has already said no..

1337 what can we do inside the machine to make it play longer songs?

[daphat38159]

I thought that there was a way you could downgrade by just putting some file on your USB, but you might have to do something else. I have to look into it to see.

Edit: You have to actually access the operators menu to change it. But you said that the person who has access with the machine won't let you change anything, so you can't really access that menu. Unless you want to hack the machine without his permission, but I really wouldn't recommend doing that for obvious reasons. That is what LEET means when he says you can change stuff by opening the machine.

You could always follow this: (How to update a machine without direct cabnit access.)

and use it to revert it back to R21.

Thanks for this. You haven't found a way for your program to actually implement the converter though, have you? Because when I try to convert a dwi file folder with the GUI it says its not a correct folder because it doesn't have a .sm file.

Oh, yeah I forgot the GUI won't let you select a folder that doesn't have a .sm file in it. You'll need to use the explorer menu or do it from the command line. If you run sm2itg.bat without any parameters from a command line you can see all the options. The GUI is just a wrapper for that.

Wait for a proper rewrite I'll implement / fix it then and give everyone the ability to select the options more precisely.

As for R23 and the song length issues - well, R23 was released specifically to break the ogg length patch. This program makes your simfiles R21 ready

Alright, thanks a lot Frosty.

Just thought I'd give you guys a tidbit of things to come:

That looks amazing. Looking forward to using it soon.

[Rich!]

I didn't realise this can do all of that until now.
I'm giving this baby a shot.

[InspectorKen]

Looks nice Gordon. Keep up the good work.

[CLEAN.LEET]

I just wet myself with anticipation.

[Frosty555]

It's almost done! Just a few more tweaks.

This version comes with an installer. So no more C:\SM2ITG nonsense. Everything is compiled and included right in the program.

One more little tidbit - the auto-banner-generator for all those simfiles that don't have graphics

[daphat38159]

Wow, that looks really cool. I can't wait to test it out soon.

[Rich!]

This will make alot of things easier on me and Matt when it comes to preping simfiles =D
