When converting from .pt, the converter will attempt to search various locations for pieces of metadata. All of the following except for song name are optional.
In the following sections, pt folder refers to the input folder containing .pt files, and .. means go up one level. For example, C:\A\B\..\C.txt refers to C:\A\C.txt.
The converter expects to find files named <song name>_star_<x>.pt or <song name>_pop_<x>.pt in pt folder, where <song name> is any string, and <x> is 1, 2, 3 or 4. If no such files are found, the conversion cannot start.
After this step, the converter treats <song name> as an identifier of the song. It will become the converted track’s title if the following search for a title fails.
The converter will attempt to open pt folder\..\..\Resource\DiscInfo\discstock.csv. If the file exists, the converter will search for a row matching <song name>, and extract from it the title, genre, composer and difficulty of each pattern.
The converter will attempt to open pt folder\..\..\Resource\DiscInfo\<mode>_stage_<x>.csv, where <mode> is pop or star, and <x> is 1, 2, 3 or bonus. If these files exist, the converter will search for a row matching <song name>, and extract from it the scroll speed of each pattern.
This is only 1 of 3 possible sources for scroll speed. See .pt converter options for more details.
The converter will look for a disc image in the following order:
pt folder\..\..\Resource\Discimg\<song name>_<x>.<extension>, where <x> is 0, 1, 2 or 3, and <extension> is png or jpgpt folder\<song name>_disc.<extension>, where <extension> is png or jpgThe first file found (if any) becomes the converted track’s eyecatch image.
The converter will look for an eyecatch image in the following order:
pt folder\..\..\Resource\Eyecatch\Song\<song name>_<x>.<extension>, where <x> is 0, 1, 2 or 3, and <extension> is png or jpgpt folder\<song name>_eyecatch.<extension>, where <extension> is png or jpgThe first file found (if any) becomes the converted track’s background image.
The converter will look for a preview track in the following order:
pt folder\..\..\Resource\Preview\<song name>.oggpt folder\..\..\Resource\Previewogg\<song name>.oggpt folder\<song name>_pre.oggThe first file found (if any) becomes the converted track’s preview track.
The converter will look for a BGA in the following order:
pt folder\..\..\Movie\<song name>.bikpt folder\..\..\Movie<x>\<song name>.bik, where <x> is any number between 1 and 20 (inclusive)pt folder\<song name>.mp4The first file found (if any) becomes the BGA of all converted patterns. The converter will launch ffmpeg to convert .bik to .mp4 if necessary.
The converter will attempt to open pt folder\..\..\Resource\Script\Song\<song name>\<song name>_<mode>_<x>.ini, where <mode> is pop or star, and <x> is 1, 2, 3 or 4. If the file exists, the converter will convert the data within to a legacy ruleset override in the corresponding pattern (1 for NM, 2 for HD, 3 for MX, 4 for EX). The conversion consists of the following steps:
pt folder\..\..\Resource\Script\Maingame\JudgmentTempInfo.xml, read time windows from the <Delta> element inside the <PopMode> element, and read HP deltas from the <Gauge> elements inside the <PopMode> element.
.ini file, read time windows from the [JudgmentDelta] section, and read HP deltas from the [GaugeUpDownRate] section.
JUDGMENT_FAIL time window is skipped as it’s unused.
