BMS Table (GLAssist) Support about raindrop

[zardoru]

so this is basically just special folders right

[DolphinDTM]

yes

[zardoru]

got any docs about what format the tables are in? this should be pretty quick to add

[DolphinDTM]

I don't really know how they work. All I know is that you simply feed GLAssist (or beatoraja) links to the tables. Some examples are:

• http://www.ribbit.xyz/bms/tables/normal.html
• http://bmsnormal2.syuriken.jp/table_insane.html
• http://jakko.web.fc2.com/table.html

You can find more links here http://bmsnormal2.syuriken.jp/bms_dtimporter.html
Each category (here they are usually level groups) is its own sub-folder.

The clients might be grabbing something from the html files for identifying BMS in the database. Maybe you should check the beatoraja source code? https://github.com/exch-bms2/beatoraja

Btw it is worth mentioning that it would be really helpful if the tables updated automatically when you launch the game (tho this could be turned off by the player in the config file), and perhaps an in-game key bind to refresh too.

Difficulty tables are JSON files. Take this for example: http://www.ribbit.xyz/bms/tables/normal.html

<meta name="bmstable" content="normal_header.json" />

Inside it will contain the metadata:

{
   "data_url" : "normal_body.json",
   "last_update" : "2016/02/29",
   "symbol" : "☆",
   "name" : "通常難易度表",
   "original_url" : "http://nekokan.dyndns.info/~lobsak/genocide/normal.html"
}

If you follow the URL to normal_body.json, you’ll see this:

Note that GLAssist itself if open source, which you can download here: https://osdn.jp/projects/bms-dtimporter/. It’s also available on SVN: svn co http://svn.osdn.jp/svnroot/bms-dtimporter/

Okay, that looks a hell of a lot more reasonable than I originally thought. Thanks dtinth.
As I've stated before - Java is a hard langauge to get information from, so I was hoping someone had properly documented this info.

[zardoru]

if this happens it won't be through raindrop itself, but through the IR. closing.
