Wed[09:40:44]PM Jousway: hey isk you there, I wonder how does the amod work, like how does it get the avarage bpm of the song, like does it check all the bpm's and use the one thats used most, or do you define it in the file self like abpm=180 or something?
Wed[09:41:16]PM isk: it just takes the most used
Wed[09:41:40]PM isk: there has been some discussion on improving it...
Wed[09:41:57]PM isk: as really it should take the fastest BPM where actually playability is required
Wed[09:42:10]PM Jousway: then you get mmods
Wed[09:42:10]PM isk: but finding that BPM is a bit more tricky
Wed[09:42:30]PM Jousway: isk, look in to vyhd's mmod code for openitg
Wed[09:42:35]PM isk: well, it has to be able to overlook gimmick and very short speedups
Wed[09:43:03]PM isk: and if there is a constant gradual speedup that means the BPM will be ever changing
Wed[09:43:27]PM isk: yet there has to be a certain point where it is a defined a "playable section over X BPM" and that BPM is used
Wed[09:43:55]PM isk: bit of an edge case but i'm sure it will happen
Wed[09:44:06]PM Jousway: sounds like an ass to code
Wed[09:44:19]PM isk: i thought mmod simply took the "max" bpm?
Wed[09:44:26]PM Jousway: yeah
Wed[09:44:31]PM isk: that would be easy
Wed[09:45:05]PM Jousway: was an ass to code for stepmania according to vyhd
Wed[09:45:13]PM isk: rly?
Wed[09:45:25]PM isk: does he do excluding gimmicks or something like that as well?
Wed[09:45:39]PM isk: just finding the MAX should be trivial
Wed[09:45:55]PM Jousway: and amod's is going to be an ass to code for stepmania, but patashu has said it before to the ssc crew that it would be nice to have amod's in stepmania but yeah
Wed[09:47:24]PM isk: well if m-mod got those two features
Wed[09:47:31]PM isk: it would essentially by a-mod
Wed[09:47:33]PM Jousway: from what I know they dont
Wed[09:47:41]PM isk: or vice versa, at that point it's just a different name ;P
Wed[09:47:53]PM isk: current a-mod is very limited though, so i doubt it would be worth adding
Wed[09:48:13]PM isk: it's like a slightly improved m-mod
