This is a converter for pattern formats used by various free music video games sharing the same game system (I know there is a better description but I'm intentionally avoiding it here). It is not perfect due to the various restrictions either explicitly or implicitly imposed by games (e.g. 32nd or quicker notes, out-of-position perpendicular notes, new-style long BT notes and short FX notes), but I was able to convert some songs perfectly so it would be useful somehow.
The current version of the convert is only able to convert K-Shoot MANIA pattern to SDVXviewer pattern, which is also used as a part of EffectDrive pattern. Follow the following instructions:
example_ex.txt
, to the left side.#NOTES:
in the second box in the right side, and copy and paste everything below that line to SDVXviewer.example
) to EffectDrive's Drv\
directory, and make sure that the following files are in that subdirectory:example.drv
(fill this file from the first box in the right side)example_EASY.prd
, example_NORMAL.prd
or example_HARD.prd
depending on your pattern's difficulty (fill this file from the second box in the right side)m=...
line)*.drv
and *.prd
files should be saved as Shift_JIS encoding and DOS newline convention. If you use Japanese Windows you'd mostly fine (just use Notepad), otherwise you should find a text editor with the proper encoding and newline support.Due to the difference of difficulty system in K-Shoot MANIA and EffectDrive, K-Shoot MANIA's INFINITE difficulty is temporarily mapped to EffectDrive's HARD difficulty. You also need to manually fix *.drv
file to convert a set of patterns of multiple difficulties.
