Reverse Simfile Pack Search

Reverse Simfile Pack Search

There has been a lot of people asking where to find particular songs in the chat. Hopefully this feature will help everyone get what they are looking for because it is incredibly difficult to memorize 1000's of song packs and their contents.

If you click on a song page to the left you will notice it now lists which simfile packs that file is included in. So to find any song you want to download you can search for it on the right under the search tab and get to the song page to see the listing of packs.

Once you know which pack the song you want is in just go to the downloads page and ctrl+f and search for the pack.

Very nice, looks like it's working great!

Is there any way this can effectively define different step files, or does is it merely a tool to see all available packs a given song is in? Either way, it greatly points people in the right direction. Not sure how hard this would be, but perhaps the packs listed for the "packs Included in" section of the page could flat out have download links instead of having to go to the downloads page. This way, it feels much more streamlined for those looking for content, and people won't have to deal with the downloads page unless they want to find very obscure things.

Does it list them by what packs they have been played in or what packs they are in from the downloads page?

I updated it so now the list is a hyperlink to the actual pack file.

In the future I might make a page for each of the packs that can list what songs they have in them as well.
