[Touhou] Electric River (Komachi's Theme Techno Remix) [HD]

[roy491]

Man, that is a really awesome setup you've got there. And a good remix, and a good simfile, hell, what's NOT good about this? And how did you get the audio so well? It sounds like you recorded the computer rather than a video through a camera or something. Crazy man, just crazy.

[SomethingUnreal]

@roy491 : Thanks! =D

Yes, I was recording the sound of StepMania on the computer rather than from my camcorder, since I usually use headphones (rather than speakers) while playing. Often, I mix in the sound of the keypresses (which my camcorder heard), but since this video was also for showing off the song, I decided to leave out the tapping sounds.

How did it have those tremors??

the ones @ 0:58..

mods? If it is please share.

also, stage 5?? OMG please tell how

[SomethingUnreal]

It's just the 5th stage because I had played 4 songs before it. The screen-shaking effect is part of this simfile which I made. It was done by setting the background to a BGAnimation.ini file which I made, which contains a long string of commands which simply move the background image horizontally (change the x value) a little to the left of centre, then a little to the right, repeating. If you download the simfile (there's a link in the video description) then you can see for yourself. ;)

[droolblanket]

Oh, 'kay..I got the tremors..

so stg5 is = Endless mode? Am i correct?

[SomethingUnreal]

No, stage 5 is simply the fifth stage. After playing 4 short songs, or other combinations which add up to 4 songs' worth of play (e.g. 2 short songs and 1 marathon song), stage 5 starts. There's nothing really special about it - I just have "Songs per play" (in Coin Options) set to 7.

[droolblanket]

Ah, I see, well just get to the option just now. but I only have max stg 5...>3>

btw, i use CS 5 -neo cyber-

does that make a difference?

[SomethingUnreal]

I expect that's the thing. If I remember rightly, the default theme on StepMania doesn't allow you to set the number of stages up to 7 either.

[droolblanket]

Oh yeah! I got it, its all in the settings..I got stg 7 now.

Thanks for your guidance all along.

btw, thanks for sharing the song,

also, you're really good! I only got A- for this song.

[silverhairedelf09]

may i also ask, what stepmania version are you using???

[SomethingUnreal]

It's version 3.9. I'm using a theme called CyberiaStyle 4. I've just put a link for more information into the video description. ;)

[ddrusa]

dude u can seriously make a ddr cab home made

[silverhairedelf09]

can you tell me where to get those noteskins?? thanks!!!

[SomethingUnreal]

I was actually given it by a friend, so I'm not sure of the download location. The noteskin is called "Orbular", and I expect a Google search for "StepMania Orbular noteskin" would find a place to download it from.

[silverhairedelf09]

Thanks much!!!! also, this file's hard for me, but this song will reach my Ipod, for sure... Thanks!!!!

[LudvikChannel]

Fantastic!

[mariocampos0]

nice job, and those lights make it look badass

[GenNephlite]

Fantastic, so soothing.

Any way I could download the MP3 somewhere?

[SomethingUnreal]

Thanks, I'm glad you like it. ^^

Please check the video description for download links.

[bluefives]

Man, I'm getting a Page Load Error from your site/blog. orz

[SomethingUnreal]

Indeed, my server has died - it shows a bluescreen before it even gets into Windows. Needless to say, I'll be trying to fix it soon.

[SomethingUnreal]

@bluefives: Just to let you know, my server lives again!

[bloodysunday27]

I want your stepmania lights!

Also, do you play Stepmania Online?

[SomethingUnreal]

@bloodysunday27: Yes, I do occasionally play SMO, but due to StepMania 4's annoying synchronisation issues, I usually play offline. When I'm online I use the name "Robbi-985".

[bloodysunday27]

I still use 3.95, it's way better in my opinion. I play as omgfire on it by the way.

[SomethingUnreal]

@bloodysunday27: Yeah, 3.95 is pretty good, but I don't think it supports passwords online, and there were some issues with extra stages when I played offline with it.

[bloodysunday27]

You just need to set it up right with the options menu, and yes I need a password to log into my profile to play online.

[SomethingUnreal]

@bloodysunday27: I meant that I don't think 3.95 supports passworded rooms.

[bloodysunday27]

Ahh, yeah it does, you just have to add it once you get into the room. I forget the command though.

[TheRealRandomMod]

Thanks for the link ive been waiting for that... its me RandomMod Someone Got My USERNAME that ive been wanting to get

[eldrid311]

[Given2much]

Nice song and score :P

[thatthingoverthere]

Whew nice :D

I like the difficulty! Although it's a bit hard for a player just learning two hand play :*(

Looks FUN! WOOT

[Quinklong]

I got really dizzy around 2:11 out of sheer awesomness. Great job!

[dvknight]

Hey dude thanks for the answer last time, im willing to buy the stuff, i hope you help me when i build it (The lights)

[SomethingUnreal]

@dvknight: No offence, but I made the recent Custom StepMania Lights tutorial video in the hope that I would no longer need to help people individually...

[hooh3923]

damn wut program did u use?

[TheNoel]

I think it's Step Mania with an interface mod?

[hooh3923]

i ment what program did he use to make the song. I think he used fl and maybe audition to put it together. Not sure though. If its fl i want the flp file :D

[SomethingUnreal]

@hooh3923: Anvil Studio (composing), Cantabile 1.2 Lite (VST host, with VST synths: S3, Cygnus and Texture), Magix Music Mager Generation 6, Audacity and FL Studio.

[steeeven1]

[bpbw007]

Crazy awesome, I love seeing the lights in action too :))

5/5

[SomethingUnreal]
