Match Types

For BATCH MANUAL imports, we need a way of resolving given identifiers into charts on Tachi. These may be through a variety of methods, such as chart hashes, in game IDs, etc.

This is a list of all available match types. However, what match types are available depend on what game you're importing scores for.

Identifier Only

The following match types only need an identifier defined.

bmsChartHash

Uses identifier as an MD5 or SHA25 hash.

itgChartHash

Uses identifier as a GroovestatsV3 hash.

popnChartHash

Uses identifier as a SHA256 hash, for pop'n file contents.

uscChartHash

Uses identifier as a SHA1 hash, since that's what USC uses.

Identifier + Difficulty

These match types need both identifier and a difficulty defined.

inGameID

Looks up on the in game ID for this chart.

sdvxInGameID

Looks up on the in game ID for this chart, but allows a special difficulty string - "ANY_INF" to be passed.

If "ANY_INF" is the difficulty, then that difficulty will try to find a chart with this in game ID where the difficulty is any of INF, GRV, HVN, VVD or XCD.

songTitle

Looks up the song on its title or any of its defined altTitles.

Warning

This requires that your game never has two songs with the same title. By enabling this, the seeds tests will check and enforce this for you.

You should generally never enable this option, as you really can't guarantee the uniqueness of song titles short of the game being dead.

tachiSongID

Looks up the song on Tachi's defined songID.
