    I just downloaded the demo, and played some Crystal Castles.

    This game is fucking awesome.

    Sad fact: I am actually, literally, tapped out of cash until I get paid in a few days. Hopefully it will still be $2.49 when I have some scratch.

    What's your steam ID?

    For the tournament, do we just have to rename the actual copy of the song? Or is there something special you have to do in Audiosurf? I renamed the song, and it still shows up in the rankings as 01 - Team Fortress 2.

    You have to retag the song - it's controlled by the ID3 tags. You can do this in a number of methods. I always messed it up when I did it the first time, so I'll let someone else explain it :P

    I'll add the information to the OP, but you have to right click on the song file and then select "Properties". Click on the "Summary" tab and rename the song there. Should work. :)

    Yeah. That didn't work for me. I had to open it in Winamp and change the ID3 properties :P

    Guys. Audiosurf is the best $20 I've ever spent on a video game.

    $2.50 is a fucking DEAL.

    $20? Audiosurf launched at $10.

    I do believe I have my high score for the tournament. Hurry up and play so I can see how well I did.

    In terms of fun songs to play, another good chiptune one is Hux Flux Deluxe by Random. Very bumpy.:winky:

    Should have come with Audiosurf - it includes the Orange Box soundtrack. Don't remember the exact location they're downloaded to, but check your Steam folders.

    When you select a song in the game, you can choose Orange Box Soundtrack. It has a special icon.

    I can't play anything other than mono. This really limits my point acquiring abilities...

  • shadydentistshadydentist Registered User regular
    Mono can score pretty high. Stealth + clean finish is a huge bonus.

    Steam & GT

  • Kristmas KthulhuKristmas Kthulhu Registered User regular
    I nearly doubled the other scores that Stealthed and Clean Finished. While a hefty boost, it's still not up there with the multichromatic characters.

  • Bruce ForsythBruce Forsyth Registered User regular
    Yeah. I just did that for the tournament. Got both and my score was about half that of the top Pro score at the moment.

    Edit: Exactly, WD.

    I just got this game two days ago and it is amazing. Best 2.50$ I've ever spent.

    Yeah, for the next song something longer would be better. Mono can overcome the point deficit through the chain bonuses on songs that are a bit longer.

  • JamesDMJamesDM Registered User regular
    I posted a pretty lame score and then the demo ran up, so I guess what I've got up will have to do for now.

    If you have any complaints about this poster then feel free to: Иди на хуй, Сучьи :D

    So do I need to do anything special to get the super-crazy cheap price|? It's listed at $9.99 now. Please tell me I didn't miss it.

    Where am I supposed to rename the song? From within Audiosurf? I am right clicking and it it's doing squat.

    No, rename it from real life*, not from Audiosurf.

    Oh.

    Snap.

    Are we just renaming the song or modifying the id3 tag to get a special leaderboard just for this song for us here? Or does it not have any info and renaming it will be enough?

    Instructions are in the first post. Supposedly editing the summary will alter the ID3 tags somehow. It had never worked for me in the past, but editing the ID3 tags in winamp did. Take that how you will.

    Maybe he is using Vista and that does different stuff? Renaming it like the OP said did not work for me in XP. I will try the ID tag bit now.

  • To answer the questions so far asked;

    The song is in the Orange Box Soundtrack.

    Modifying the name is a simple matter of altering it in Properties by following the instructions in the OP. If they're crap, tell me, as they should work on XP. :D

    I know that the song is short, but it's very fun to listen to and should get everyone in the mood.

    Yeah it should work, I just overlooked the whole Click on the "Summary" tab part that you had on there.

    The instructions worked for me, with a little interpretation, in Vista.

  • schussschuss Registered User regular
    by the way, since it matches on waveform too, it doesn't show up as a different song from the regular one...

  • CyvrosCyvros Registered User regular
    Not too shabby a score for Mono Pro (11,700-something as retcon). I tried it in Mono, but the gutters just threw me and I kept overshooting. :/

  • Lord JezoLord Jezo Registered User regular
    What modes score the highest? I only play mono because I am lazy and it's easy but if I want to actually compete what modes do I need to start practicing on?

    Eraser and Pointman tend to be the big ones. I find Eraser is good to start with, since you can delete blocks if you screw up.

    Double mode is great fun playing by yourself though guys, it's like a separate game all by itself like mono is.
