Finally found some time to work on the site. Thanks everyone for making video tutorials for ddream. I've favorited as many videos as I could find on
my youtube page. If anyone has a video tutorial to share, or will make one, please let me know so I can add it to my favorites.
I've also added a list of known bugs in the support page, and the temporary solutions for them.
8/2/2009 - Version 2.00 Beta 6:(download)
+ Multiple BPM Smoothing (via Grow "G"). Thanks to Derek Dohler.
+ Creating pauses no longer requires a hard selection - simply select beats and go.
+ same with setting song preview
+ Revised popup messages
+ Also, thanks to john_reactor for translating the basic tutorial movie into Polish.
5/15/2009 - The next generation is here - Version 2.00 BETA 1 released! (download), featuring:
+ Support for dance double, dance couple, dance solo, pump single, pump halfdouble, pump double, pump couple
NOTE: DDReam supports rolls and lifts for every game type, but SM might not, depending on the version you are running.
+ Enhanced Grid - [Shift]+[Tab] -> 4th -> 8th -> 16th -> Off
+ Enhanced Level Manager - Choose the game type from here, and change the difficulty using the dedicated difficulty button. Also, the noteskin is selected from here.
[F5] and [F6] to manually cycle through all game types and difficulties.
+ Added Keyboard Lag Compensation (ms) to practice mode so you can tweak your keyboard lag. Access from Tools->Options.
NOTE: This affects your global Keyboard response in DDReam for everything,
so if you tap beats using the B key, it will affect the timing for that too.
+ Backup System - Enabled by default. Whenever you save any file (SM or DS), a copy of the simfile will be
automatically archived into \backup as a DS/DSX file. Unlimited backups will be made, stored in numeric order, and
you can go and find/delete anything you want from the backups.
To rescue a file, manually copy the files you want
back to your working folder (Remember to take both the DS and the DSX).
To disable the backup system, go to tools->Options and uncheck "Backup all files"
+ Reduced background brightness so it is not so oppressive when the wave is disabled and you have a custom background.
+ Copy/Paste Behavior - notes copied from a game type with more arrows will be ignored when pasted into a chart with fewer arrows.
+ "O" hotkey to open the Options dialog
+ Updated file format. Will no longer support files done in the early ddream versions (~0.9x)
+ Lots of other minor bug fixes and tweaks too many to list.
+ EDIT: Almost forgot: AUTOSCROLL support for middle mouse button if you would rather autoscroll like a web browser
rather than insert beats using the middle mouse button. To set the behavior, go to Tools->options, and set the first checkbox.
WARNING: Practice Mode only works for dance-single for now. It will treat your keypresses for all other games as if it was dance single. I am working on getting practice mode working for all game types.
Finally, lots of code changes means potential bugs. Use with caution.
2/28/2009 - The first ddream video tutorial, made by Apathy000. In 10 minutes, he explains the absolute basics of ddream. Much better than reading the manuals (at least in my opinion).
