28/02/2015: Files from RED to GOLD finally deployed. You might notice some of them have weird BPM, this is normal: they're the songs' real BPM.
07/02/2015: Late to the party, I've finally implemented the download limiter, and the download all feature is back. You can download 1 file each second, and 1 set of files each minute. I've also improved the overall stability of the website hopefully. No BMS packs sadly, but now that I got the limiter out of the way I can resume my work on Elpis.

ContentcopyThis file is hosted at free file sharing service 4shared. BMS is a format that allows you to simulate gameplay similar to beatmania, beatmania IIDX and pop'n music. Like these games, the BMS files come with keysounds that are played when you hit the corresponding notes in whichever BMS player you are using. The most popular BMS player for now is Lunatic Rave 2. Description: BMS file is a Be-Music Script. The Be-Music script format is a file format for rhythm-matching games, devised by Urao Yane in 1998. The format have been used in such games as Beatmania (simulation), BM98, StepMania, and Pop'n Music. To change file associations: Right-click a file with the extension whose association you want to change, and then click Open With. In the Open With dialog box, click the program whith which you want the file to open, or click Browse to locate the program that you want. Select the Always use the selected program to open this kind of file check box. We've been using BMS as Source from 2012 (or even much earlier), but it's obviously incorrect and may be misleading. BMS is actually a name of file type. It was first created to simulate Beatmania IIDX, which can be used in software like BM98 or Lunatic Rave 2. In other words, BMS is actually quite similar to.osz files.
29/12/2014: Completed the reupload of the fixed charts.
Overcharged for tool by mac dealer. 28/12/2014 Icq donwload. : As you can see I've added both EMPRESS and DJ TROOPERS folders! They have no black anothers unfortunately because I couldn't find a good source for them. I will also gradually update the already loaded charts, as some of them appear to have bugs due to time signature issues. How to install netbeui on windows 7. Oh, and Happy new 2015!
27/12/2014: I've slightly updated the layout, but most importantly the mass download link is now operational! Format is .tar, which may be uncommon for some of you, but any modern archive reader should be able to process it.
26/11/2014: Resort Anthem and SIRIUS files are up. The RA BMS set includes the elusive chinese exclusive songs, don't miss them!
15/11/2014: The portal is alive and kicking! I still need to beautify it a little, but it should work. Well, test it for yourself and get some Lincle/SPADA/tricoro BMS files. I will upload the other files later on.

BMS is a file format for rhythm action games, devised by Urao Yane in 1998. The format was originally developed as a format specific for a simulator of the game Beatmania by KONAMI, and currently the term BMS is widely used to describe the whole Beatmania simulating game system.
The acronym has been confirmed by Urao Yane to be Be-Music Source in the official BMS format specification.[1]
Gameplay[edit]
Similar to the Beatmania and Beatmania IIDX series, the purpose of the game is to hit keys as notes fall from the top of the screen to the judge line.
Tnai procedure manual. When the player hits the notes with the proper timing, a gauge will fill up. When the player misses a note, the gauge will drain.
In addition to the normal notes, there are also long notes where the player needs to keep holding the key until the note ends and mine notes that will explode and drain the gauge if the player is pressing the key when they hit the judge line.
To clear the game, the player's gauge must be filled to a specified level at the end of the song.

BMS songs[edit]
Most BMS songs are original songs made specially for the game, because the BMS format requires the sounds that compose the music to be separated into small pieces, thus making it hard to use preexisting songs to be made into a BMS.
Currently most BMS songs are distributed in BMS events, where usually several artists publish their songs and compete for scores. The largest BMS event is the BMS of Fighters (BOF) held by AOiRO_MANBOW where more than 250 songs are presented each year.

Basic Format[edit]
The .bms file describes how notes are arranged and how the game responds when the player takes a specific action. It is a plain text file with 'directive' lines starting with the # character.
Each directive line is formatted in the form below.

The space between the definition setter and the definer is required.
A .bms file is generally composed of a header field and the main data field.
Below is a simple example of what a .bms file will look like when it is opened by a notepad.

Commonly used header field components[2][edit]
Commands existing from the original BM98 used in the original .bms extensions.[3]
#PLAYER Defines play style. 1 for Single Play, 2 for Couple Play, and 3 for Double Play.
Modern BMS simulators do not depend on #PLAYER anymore, but define play style by the extension of the file itself and the directive lines used in the main data field.

Expansion of BMS format[edit]
As the original .bms format became outdated by the transfer of the KONAMIBeatmania series to the Beatmania IIDX series, other formats that adopted changes in the Beatmania series were developed.
Famous expansions include Be-Music Extend format (.bme) that allowed 7 lines and 1 scratch to be played, and the Be-Music Long note format (.bml) that allowed usage of long notes that required players to hold the key until the end of the note. A .pms extension also exists based on .bms, meant for simulating the game Pop'n Music and utilizing 9 lines.

Separate from the development of the file types, simulators have also been developed by fans.
The original simulator BM98 by Urao Yane supported only 256 music files and picture files to be played, and only supported 5 lanes plus one scratch per playside.[4]
Delight Delight Replicant allowed the .bme format to be played, most significantly allowing the 7 line format similar to the KONAMIBeatmania IIDX series to be played.[5]
nazoBMplay allowed the number of sound and picture/movie files to increase by making the format 36 base instead of 16 base and with a patch allowed to play .ogg file type sounds.[6]
Currently the most widely used BMS player is Lunatic Rave 2 by lavalse that has its own online ranking website.
Other simulators after Lunatic Rave 2 with higher performances and wider freedoms of expansion exist but no other simulator was able to replace the position of Lunatic Rave 2 as the most used simulator, mostly due to compatibility to older formats and lack of an online ranking system.

bmson[edit]
bmson is a format based on JSON initially developed by wosderge. The original purpose of the format was to make an alternative to BMS that was easy to implement and use by developers, artists and chart creators alike. bmson has no limit on the amount of keysounds one can have in chart, unlike BMS which has a hard limit of 1296 keysounds.
After the format was proposed, the version 0.26 format was implemented to a couple of BMS players, such as Bemuse and raindrop.[7][8] After the initial implementation, the developers of these games as well as a few others worked together to create the bmson version 1.0 technical specification.[9]
