Resurrection ?

[Chepeshot]

Hello and greetings to all you fellow StepMania fans/players.

I am a returning player of StepMania, as I used to play about four years ago, and recently got the itch to play it again. I have since downloaded the new version (5.0), and searched and located most of my old collection of SimFiles and songs that I used to have... I've gone through numerous computer upgrades over the years, and have long since lost my backups for SMO. I apologize for skipping straight to the board about SimFiles and doing this, but I need some help in locating a couple things:

1.) First off, I was (and still am), a huge fan of the Otaku's Dream packs, and I've downloaded almost all of them again. I'm personally surprised I still have some of the songs memorized to play them well, earning double and triple-A's on a few on my first try. ^^ My question on this matter, however, is I also enjoyed the Hentai packs he made, and I am searching for the "Video AddOn Pack" for his second Hentai pack. I found the first one with a little digging, but the video package for the second collection still eludes me. All links on the OD site are dead, seeing as they were hosted on frehost sites, and they remove content older than "X" days if it hasn't been downloaded.

---- Moderators Please Note: I have read the forum rules, and saw the post about not posting pornography. If this request falls under that jurisdiction, then I will drop it and speak of it no more.

Any an all help would be greatly appreciated, and again, I'm sorry for jumping straight into a request as my first post.

Otaku's Dream 2nd Hentai Mix with videos huh? You are pretty lucky, as I actually have a locally stored full version of the pack! I don't upload video versions of packs to SMO if non video versions are released by authors (for faster downloading of packs), but I uploaded it to dropbox temporarily for you to download. Get it !

As far as pornography goes, it's mostly posting images of it on the forums. Linking to a StepMania pack which may happen to have related content doesn't seem like an issue to me, especially since the Hentai mix series is far from the only pack I've seen to have backgrounds or videos like that (and I'm sure there are a bunch I haven't seen). SMO archives packs basically as they are, and I wouldn't ever want to censor something someone else (or an entire community of people) created.

Also when you downloaded the OD content, I am unsure if you checked the at any time. If you are looking for content to play on SM, this is a gigantic list for you to go through! As mentioned, packs may not contain videos (depending on whether pack authors released a no videos version), but I'm sure you can still make some use out of it. Enjoy!

Thank you so very very much!

Yes, I did grab most of the packs from the Downloads section, I just remember having videos to most of my Sims, and I was just eager to rebuild my collection as best I could. Admittedly, I did drop by OD's website first to grab what I could, and I dug through all of the links there and managed to find the First Hentai Mix videos on a still living link.

I'm still searching for my old themes and such, but I have already been re-living some of my fun times on StepMania despite that. I aim to increase my library to something larger than I once had, and this time I'm making sure to back these things up if I happen to drop SMO again, only to pick it back up in the future.

I look forward to talking with you and others on here more int he future. Thanks again!
