I hadn’t uploaded a new StepMania video in quite a long time, and I surprised myself at being able to AAA this, so I decided to record myself trying to do it again. After about 6 more frustrating attempts, I finally managed. Unfortunately, people were trying to sleep at the time I was recording, so I had to keep fairly quiet (apart from the unavoidable tapping sounds, of course…). This also meant I had to play on headphones, so I mixed the song’s audio in afterwards (although I normally do that anyway).
Note that the theme I’m using, CyberiaStyle 4, shows
“A-” for “A”,
“A+” for “AA”,
“AA” for “AAA” and
“AAA” for “AAAA”.
You can see more info about this theme (for SM 3.9), and download it, from the author’s site, here.
This song is actually from the opening of an H-game called 「魔界天使ジブリール3」 (Makai Tenshi Jiburiiru 3). In this video, I play it as part of the “Otaku’s Dream 2nd Hentai Mix” song pack. You can find out more info about tha pack, and find download links for it, here.
It feels like it’s been ages since I’ve released a new version of my StepMania Player program, but I finally have a new version out which fixes a few bugs and adds new features.
Added an “Invert output” option for when using the parallel port. So, when a pin should be on, instead of being set to “high” logic level (not inverted), it will be set to “low” logic level (inverted).
“Fix DLL OCX.exe” should now work with any installation location and version of Windows (Vista users may need to right-click the program and choose “Run as admin”).
Moved the “Constant speed” checkbox on the scrolling arrows view to stop the window needing to be so unnecessarily wide.
Added address 03BC as a selectable parallel port address (now all three addresses of 0378, 0278 and 03BC are available for selection).
Now if you show the main playback view for the first time since the program started running and press Page Up/Down, you won’t be changing the playback rate along with the playback offset (the playback rate slider is no longer selected by default). You’ll now just be changing the playback offset.
Fixed visual bug in Detailed Config window where the “Parallel port” frame was so low down that it was not fitting into the “Hardware” frame.
Fixed playback sometimes not looping when “Loop” is ticked (previously it wouldn’t loop if the song’s audio finished before the last event in the events list).
Changed text shown during stops from “FREEZE!” to “STOP!” to avoid confusion.
Just a few planes from directly below as they come in to land at Luton Airport (UK). This was recorded on the second of March 2009 (…I think), in the morning, so we didn’t have the issues of light which we had in my previous video of planes flying overhead. I’m not sure we were as close vertically as we were in my previous video, but the fact that this one is in HD hopefully makes up for it.
