New feature: custom song preview

[bLasT]

This update deserved it's own thread as it's a major step towards ease of level preview, sharing and for feedback from people.

If you have made a stepfile that you wish to share and ask for opinions, you can do so using our autoplay embed feature on the forums like so:



[autoplay]http://www.keybeatonline.com/example/autoplay_example/info.xml[/autoplay]

If you want to share a preview of your stepfile, you need to download the .sm to keybeat .xml converter here.
Extract the .jar to a folder, put as many .sm files as you want on that folder for conversion and double click the jar. Make sure you have the latest Java 6 JRE

Now you just have to upload the xml file converted from the .sm, the mp3 (the mp3 file you provide must not be over 160kbits/sec (constant bitrate, CBR)), make an info.xml like the one above, set up your crossdomain.xml file (check this) and you are ready to post your stepfile on the forums!

Have fun!

'java' is not reconized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

BTW, the chart gets flipped if you turn mirror on in your KBO setting.

Edit: I'm getting sick of java, I'm just going to write the xml instead

[bLasT]

Well it's amazing how the .bat executed that command with lowercase characters where there should be some uppercase ones...
Mine works extracted directly from the rar so I don't know.

Edit that batch file and write
java sm2keybeat.SM2Keybeat

yes thanks finally that fixed it.
my pc is sort of weird because first my mem and motherboard break for a unknown reason that we never found out.
and when I was installing mac OS I needed to fix my mbr and for some reason I needed to reactivate my windows after I fixed my mbr O.o

Even though all settings should be the same, that one shouldn't be. Will be fixed on next release.

PS: the mp3 is 6 mb hehe and takes a long time to load lol

to bad it cant take the hard part of the song and instead it crashes hehe

Yeah it looks like when I was loading the song it somehow went wrong, So I cleaned my cache and reloaded it.
It's still weird that it happened ;S

Awesome new feature guys; I'm sure that people will find uses for it around the simfile making community. Keep up the good work!
