Official StepMania Help, Bug, Error, Fix, News thread

[Fascination Ronnie]

So, like, I'm using Stepmania 3.95, and when I try to load it up using either Paintmania or ITG Beta6.0 as the theme, it crashes. Uh...

[AceJay]

Those themes don't work on CVS, get 3.9

There's a better ITG2 themes for CVS, it's called Groove 2.2

I have 3.9, and it seems when I'm using my profile, I can't play songs with background videos.

Hi. Two questions regarding Stepmania 3.95 CVS:

1) Is it possible to show the letter grade of the songs on the wheel? I know 3.9 does it, but 3.95 seems to have it disabled and I can't seem to figure out where it is being disabled.

2) Not really a tech problem, but since I'm in this thread anyway: is there any "big" differences between 3.9 and 3.95? I know 3.95 has the ability to read rolls and SMO, but anything else? Any bugs in 3.95 that can't be found in 3.9?

Thanks a lot.

I have a problem, some songs in my songfiles don't work in stepmania.
They appear in stepmania as a lot of small pieces of the song are being skipped. Any way to fix this?

Is this the right place to post a SM Linux tip? Hmm... Well, here it is anyway.

I run SM3.9 for linux, as well as SM4CVS. For awhile I was also running SM4CVS for Windows under Wine as well.

My song collection is sortof extensive, and I didn't want to copy the files between the various StepMania versions I'm running, since that would result in all the songfiles existing on my hard drive multiple times. If you are in this boat as well, you should know that symbolic links can help you out.

I have my actual songfiles in
/usr/games/StepMania-3.9/Songs

I need them to show up in
/usr/games/StepMania-4/Songs
That way I can play the same songs in both the stable and the new build without having multiple copies to maintain and store.

From the consoles, I type the following
rm /usr/games/StepMania-4/Songs -fR
ln -s /usr/games/StepMania-3.9/Songs /usr/games/StepMania-4/Songs

For those unfamiliar with symbolic links:Symbolic links are like OS-level shortcuts which are transparent to most applications who are then tricked into thinking the files are local to them, when in actuality they are on the other end of the sym link. You can actually cd into the link and it will still look local.

By doing this, I can add my new songfiles to one folder and it will work in both versions of the game without me messing about with config files.

If you are running SM4CVS under wine, the same operation can make your song collection available within it as well.

rm ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/StepMania\ CVS/Songs -fR
ln -s /usr/games/StepMania-3.9/Songs ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/StepMania\ CVS/Songs
