What is a .BMSON file?
A .BMSON file is a special type of data file that is used in certain music and rhythm video games, like Bemusic Bemuse. This file helps format and play songs within the game. It's a bit like a recipe that tells the game how to put together a song, including when to play certain sounds and how the song should progress as you play the game. The .BMSON file is a modern twist on the older .BMS file format, but it uses JSON, which is a common way of organizing data that computers can read easily. This makes it simpler for people who make songs and games to work with these files.
You can find .BMSON files in folders that are specifically for songs in the game Bemuse. These folders not only have the .BMSON file but also other important files that the game needs to play the song correctly, like audio files.
If you want to open a .BMSON file, you can use several different programs. Some of these are: - raindrop - Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Any basic text editor (like Notepad on Windows, TextEdit on Mac, or Gedit on Linux) - BmsONE - Web-based tools - Bemusic Bemuse itself The reason why there are so many different programs that can open .BMSON files is that they are essentially text files formatted in JSON. This means that as long as the program can read text and understand JSON, it can open a .BMSON file. However, to actually use the file as it's intended (to play or edit a song in a rhythm game), you would need a specific program like Bemusic Bemuse or BmsONE.
The Be-Music Source (BMS) format, which .BMSON files are based on, was originally used in Konami's Beatmania game and has been adopted by several other rhythm games. A typical BMS song setup includes a directory with a plain text BMS file and various audio files. The BMS file contains all the necessary information for the song, such as music, note positions, and sound effects. The creation of the BMSON format was a community effort by rhythm game fans to make it easier to create, edit, and load songs for these games, thanks to the more accessible JSON formatting.
