Charting Guide

Supported Formats

DanceJump supports standard StepMania files:

  • .sm (StepMania)
  • .ssc (Simfile)

Core Tags

These tags are parsed and used for matching and sync:

  • #TITLE and #ARTIST for matching.
  • #OFFSET for the sync point (can be negative).
  • #BPMS for BPM segments.
  • #STOPS for pauses.

Note Types

Supported

  • Tap (1)
  • Hold head (2)
  • Hold tail (3)
  • Roll (4) is treated as hold

Visual Only

  • Mines (M) render visually but do not deal damage yet.

Limitations

  • No fake notes or fake regions.
  • Scroll speed changes are ignored (player controls scroll speed).
  • Warp segments are ignored and played through normally.

Tips for Great Sync

  • Get #OFFSET right first. It is the most important tag for sync.
  • Test on the same video timing you expect players to use.
  • Consider multiple difficulties to match the in-game levels.
