Topic: Script for show BEATS on Brakespeed and Startupspeed
This is not a request, it's a script sharing. :)

Here is a script I made to show BEATS instead of absolute seconds for brakespeed.

When you use a textzone to display the brakespeed value like this:


<textzone>
<text action="brakespeed"/>
</textzone>



you get the value in seconds, such as 0.1s, 0.5s, 2.3s, etc. However, I always wanted a way to express the stop in beats. For example, I want the song to stop in 1 beat or 4 beats (this is useful when using slip or effects like echo).

So, I created this script for my custom skins to show the value in beats:


<textzone>
<text action="get_bpm & param_multiply brakespeed & param_multiply 0.0833335 & param_cast 'text' & param_cast 'beats'"/>
</textzone>



Now, with a song loaded, when you adjust the brakespeed, the value will show the number of beats it will take for the song to stop (according to the BPM).

I hope this helps someone.

Thanks to VDJ for this powerful engine!
