We&#8217;ll rock it on .net for a while. I&#8217;m gonna try to import our old posts and such too at some point.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>One of my resolutions for this year is to AA DDR Extreme, which I&#8217;m going to count as &#8220;get 93% of all possible DP according to DDREX scoring&#8221;. This should, in theory, be easily attainable, but I&#8217;ve never done it. The question of how to track it is another matter altogether. There are a couple problems.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Nobody has a DDREX machine anymore.<\/li>\n<li>I wouldn&#8217;t go there if they did.<\/li>\n<li>Stepmania and DDREX handle a couple things differently which means the scores are not 1:1 identical. To wit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/Stepmania\/comments\/7njtxg\/is_there_a_way_to_force_sm5_to_count_jumpfreezes\/\">StepMania counts jump-freezes as 2 possible OKs or NGs, and DDREX will drop both if either one drops<\/a>. Given that DDREX scoring considers an OK to be worth 6 DP, it basically means every successful jump-freeze is like hitting 3 more Perfects. That&#8217;s big.<\/li>\n<li>If I go the route of just collecting these new DP totals from StepMania, it would be easier to AA songs with jump-freezes. This means I need to up the threshold for the goal by a suitable amount.<\/li>\n<li>I might be really overthinking this for what should be a personal goal and I should just up it to 95% to 93% because that should more than make up the difference.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I see a new score tracker coming. And let me be clear, I love <a href=\"https:\/\/zenius-i-vanisher.com\/v5.2\/\">ZIv<\/a>. It&#8217;s far and away the best resource the community&#8217;s ever had on many fronts. So building a score tracker that accepts SM scores is because I respect and fully understand their &#8216;arcade scores only&#8217; policy. But I trust them to the point that I&#8217;m going to require\u00c2\u00a0<em>their<\/em> simfiles be used to submit data.<\/p>\n<p>It will be built using the <a href=\"https:\/\/laravel.com\/\">Laravel<\/a> framework and the source will be on GitHub, as will the tool I&#8217;m building in Powershell to return all DP for all songs on all difficulties. I might even make it spit out compatible seed files for Laravel&#8217;s database seeding, so you can host your own personal score tracker if you want. It&#8217;s gonna have a lot of the bells and whistles for stat tracking that I learned when I made tagpro.me. It&#8217;s gonna be cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You know what, never mind. My big reveal was supposed to be that thelegendofmax.com became available and I snatched it.
