Here we have some notes from Kantai Collection PadColle's "2-4-11 of Love," written by GPop.
Disclaimer: If I have your pack offered here on my website, I am hosting it on my own filesharing account somewhere, and since my OCD screams at me on occasion, as a result, I reserve the right to do the following with your pack as hosted here:
* Change naming conventions/stylizing for title, subtitle, and artist. I dislike all-caps or caps in odd places (such as in name stylizing) unless I can tell it was done for a very specific reason, or unless I know or believe it's an acronym. Otherwise, I'll probably change it. (For compatibility's sake, however, if at all possible, I do not change folder names, no matter how ridiculous they get, as at least SM3.95 uses folder directory for storing high score data.)
* Convert your videos to what takes up the least space and works best on an ITG2 machine: a muted small-res Avi file. Videos should never have sound in the first place if there's a music file in the folder, and large resolutions lag ITG2 machines.
Remember: Simfile packs go in StepMania CVS -> Songs. (For example: StepMania CVS -> Songs -> In The Groove.)
You will require 7Zip or WinRAR to unzip song packs contained in multi-segment archives.

* Please note that if your StepMania's BackgroundTransitions folder is missing scripts, some of the ITG songs may crash your StepMania when they try to reference a script you don't have (i.e., FadeUp or SlideLeft, things like that). If this is the case, you can acquire what you need here; that should fix things - it goes in the main StepMania CVS folder.

Kamelot
Get It From: [Google Drive] [MediaFire] Size: 43 Songs (228 MB) Type: Challenge (Expert-Only) Year of Release: 2013 Author: Gazebo Possibly the easiest artist-themed challenge pack, its average difficulty is 10-14. 
Pendulum
Get It From: [Google Drive] [MediaFire] Size: 30 Songs (225 MB in 2 Parts) Type: Multi-Difficulty Variety Challenge Year of Release: 2012 Author: Ian Pyles (Archi) All songs in this pack have all 5 difficulty levels, but the spread is biased toward difficult charts due to it being a challenge pack; Novice charts are 1s, but for the most part, all other difficulties Easy and up are 9+ feet. This pack's maximum difficulty is 16.  Rhapsody of Fire
Get It From: [Google Drive] [MediaFire] Size: 15 Songs (100 MB) Type: Challenge (Expert-Only) Year of Release: 2011 Author: Arvin * Pack is mostly 14-16 feet in difficulty.  Dragonforce
Get It From: [Google Drive] [MediaFire] Size: 33 Songs (190 MB) Type: Challenge (Expert-Only) Year of Release: 2010 Author: Brandon Abear (Cosmic Pope) * Pack is mostly 14-16 feet in difficulty. * Includes the update that adds "Operation Ground and Pound" and the fix that removes the incomplete Hard chart from "Revolution Deathsquad." 
Fast Track to Brutetown
Get It From: [Google Drive] [MediaFire] Size: 30 Songs (117 MB) Type: Variety Challenge (Expert-Only) Year of Release: 2011 Author: Arvin Difficulty ranges pretty evenly from 14 to 18.  Loaded FuturePack
Get It From: [Google Drive] [MediaFire] Size: 11 Songs (36 MB) Type: Special Challenge Year of Release: 2010 Author: Mad Matt Please Note: As appropriate for its name, this pack is full of highly technical, futuristic-feeling charts - there is tons of footswitch, bracketing, and one-foot in this pack. If you're uncomfortable with advanced playtricks, this pack will frustrate you. Also, easier difficulties simply remove the more difficult elements of a chart for practice purposes (i.e., no footswitch, no one-foot); this pack is not for beginners. |
Ace's Picks
Here I offer my selections of others' work that I enjoy, but either didn't want to (or couldn't) do whole-pack induction of for this page, or didn't feel it'd be worthwhile to do so. Alteration of Picks packs doesn't happen very often anymore, apparently. However, I did do some whole-pack induction of packs I unfairly "picked" quite a number of songs from previously, so these supplements have shrunken in size. As a result of all this, I don't really place nearly the emphasis on these that I used to.

DDR Essentials Pack
Get It From: [Google Drive] [MediaFire]
Size: 100 Songs (193 MB)
100 of the most popular songs from Dance Dance Revolution, from 1st Mix through to Supernova 1 (in other words, when DDR was good; personally, I think that since then, Konami has largely - though not completely - forgotten how to write good charts). Version 2 of this compilation now sees that 19 of these have Ace Of Hearts edits (below).
Please note that this pack will not be compatible with the formal DDR packs when playing StepMania Online due to massive all-caps changes in both titles and folder names.
Ace Of Hearts Edits
I wrote edits for 19 of the songs in question, paying as much attention to the old-school stuff as the modern songs. More will be coming in the future, that I can promise.

Although I would love to offer lots of other options, unfortunately, many solid and reputable simfile websites such as DivinElegy, R21Freak, Houkouonchi, and even StepMania Online have all in some manner or other died since the inception of this website. (Although SMO's database's front page can still be looked at, you still have to know the exact name of what you're looking for to find anything that isn't on the front page, so it doesn't work at all for trying to just poke around to see what you can find.)
