![]() ![]() Now it will permanently lock these settings in (unless you change them in the options menu and play that way for another whole session). If you like your selection, play through all the stages it allows you to, and then enter in your name. Play your song, and if you think it is too fast, lower the C-mod, or if you think it is too slow (HIGHLY doubt it if you just started playing), then you will need to download a theme that supports more consistent modifications. This is the easier and more used option, though the score may be disqualified for ranking or the clear mark may be downgraded.Īlthough the default theme you have at the moment only has two "C-mods", themes such as Cyberia Style 6 have many different C and X modifications to choose from, but for right now.try either C200 or C400 (C400 will help you a lot more in the long run). Speeds listed as C200 or C400 are called "C-mods" or consistent modifications in which a file plays the notes at a static BPM of the choice you made. ![]() This can change throughout the song, and can be extremely annoying and frustrating ( especially for new players) so I suggest you back off of this setting. Speeds that are listed x1 or x2 are called xmods, in which you play the song according to the beats per minute (BPM) speed MULTIPLIED by the amount you have listed (EX: a 250 BPM area of a song on x2 speed would have you play at a rate of 500 BPM).there are a LOT of options, please try not to get overwhelmed and confused by it all and just go to "speed" and select something you think you might be able to handle: Just select any song, and hit "Enter" twice instead of should bring you to the Stepmania song options menu. Sounds simple enough, but there is one more thing you have to handle before you starting up your StepMania career.and that is setting your speeds, and modifications. Once you do this, you will automatically be signed into that profile when StepMania starts.įinally, get out of the options menu, and either close StepMania (if you didn't install any songs), or hit "Game start" and try to play some Simfiles! ( Simfiles refer to StepMania song files which are what you play whenever you select a song, this term will be used a lot from here on in.) Next, you may want to disable some windows that pop up and will eventually start to annoy you by going to "Appearance options" and disabling the "Caution" and "Instructions" windows (don't worry you won't ever need them for anything).Īlso BE SURE TO CREATE A PROFILE by going to "Profile options" and making your own new profile (otherwise all of your song data, options, and scores will never save). In the end, it should look something like this: Try out a few things, if you are using a dance pad occasionally, have your first set up be your joy pad's buttons (to change a key press "Enter" and then press your desired key, usually keys are labeled joy1 or joy2 from dance pads and other devices like them), then in the second region maybe assign yourself a spread chart (like A S K L), and the third region will be for your one handed set up (a lot of times newbies will find it easier to play one handed than spread, but will change over later down the road to keep getting better). You can store up to 2 custom key mappings, and the third automatically sets up as "left", "right", "up", and "down". Go to "config / joy mappings", and give yourself some spread out options so you can see which keys might suit you best. A good start would be going to the StepMania options, and fiddling around with the settings a bit. Considering the fact this is your first run, you probably didn't add any song files to your StepMania set-list yet, so don't bother selecting "game start" yet. Stepmania should load up successfully and full-screen itself, to which you should be brought to the start screen (or intro screen depending on which StepMania version, just hit "enter" until you get to the menu screen) and you should have a selection of available options to choose from. I HIGHLY SUGGEST downloading StepMania 3.9x as it is not an alpha/beta release, and the majority of the themes and note skins you will find will be StepMania 3.9x compatible, but will tend to crash or make StepMania very unstable on StepMania 5.x. 5 What about themes, announcers, and all of that other amazing stuff?ĭepending on whether you downloaded and installed StepMania 3.9x or StepMania 5.x, your start ups will vary.but the premise will still be about the same.3 Where to get files for my skill level.
