PyDDR for Mac Help

Junkyard Angel · Trick Member Joined: 10 Apr 2003

Okay. I have the Pygame kitchen sink installed, the main program installed, and the step file, .ogg file, and background for a sample song, all scattered throughout my hard drives. My problem is for one, the pyDDR application immediately quits after I open, and also I can't find the Music and pyDDR Songs folder to put my sample songs! Help!

You need to put the Songs folder into the Music folder in your home directory. Or, more specifically:

/Users/(your user name)/Music/

Why this is hardcoded to be there, I don't know.

the folder is actually /users/<you>/music/pyddr songs
everything goes in there (no sub-folders). I believe the application will close automatically if this folder doesn't exist. There are a couple of sample songs on the pyddr site - they worked fine, I struggled through getting R3 and sakura to work, and then lost my patience (i don't really play much ddr anymore).

You can change that location by editing a configuration file buried deep inside the pyddr application package. Instructions are in the readme file which is also inside the application package in /Content/Resources/README and /content/resources/pyddr.txt

EDIT: you'll have to create the pyddr songs folder yourself. Just go to ~/music and make it, then put your songs inside.

You might try creating symlinks to the other files you want added in. It's not pretty but I'll bet it works and you shouldn't have to move everything then.
