    woah woah woah i never said this
    fail scores are allowed to be submitted, i said don't use fail off because it wastes time i got fail off and fail at the end of the song confused, fail off will not in fact be allowed
    pretty much no one is going to pass every song in the two sets so it should not be a deciding factor in competing
    on that note life 4/2 is going to be forced so thanks for pointing that out

      I don't understand, on my theme (staiain 3.95 mod) if you have fail off the only difference in the score is whatever letter rank you get is changed to E, where would the time waste come from?

      I'm going to test the behaviour of leaving fail on, but if I remember correctly it sends you straight back to song select without letting you see your score

      edit: confirmed on staiain v12 and 3.95 default

        sm5's default fail behavior kicks you out of the song immediately but lets you get a screenshot of your score, i forgot that 3.95 was different in that respect

            For 3.95 users, do the following:
            - open Metrics.ini
            - Ctrl+F (find) ShowEvaluationOnFail
            - change the value so that it is equal to 1, instead of 0.

            EDIT: wait, that's not working? the fuck

            will post again later

              Uploaded the files for the first set! The second set should be up by the end of this week. I already adjusted the rule about beginning the set so that you can actually play the files in the set beforehand.
              The qualifiers will remain a secret until the day of.

                    Re: STEPOCALYPSE (Official Thread)

                    oh while i'm here

                    ATTN 3.95 users

                    Adding a timestamp to results screen:
                    - I wanted to do this with only embedded lua inside of a XML, but I was too impatient to get it working properly since I'm not used to drawing text from variables inside of the embedded structures since the way it works is kinda weird sometimes...

                    ANYWAY
                    - a.) create a text document inside of your Scripts folder and save it as whatever name you want; make sure the file has a .lua extension. Mine is just called other.lua and I will refer to that file accordingly.

                    - b.) open other.lua and add the following:
                    Code:
                    -- Timestamp
                    function Timestamp ( actor )
                    	Trace ("Timestamp")
                     local month = MonthOfYear();
                     local text = string.format("%s %d, %d - %.2d:%.2d:%.2d", MonthToString(month - 1), DayOfMonth(), Year(), Hour(), Minute(), Second() );
                    
                     actor:settext( text )
                    end
                    Save and close the file.

                    - c.) navigate to the following: Themes\(your theme here)\BGAnimations\

                    Inside of the BGAnimations folder, create a folder called ScreenEvaluationStage overlay, and open it.

                    - d.) While inside of ScreenEvaluationStage overlay: create a text document, and save it as default.xml. Inside of that file, add this:

                    Code:
                    <BitmapText
                    	Font="_Arial 14 Shadow"
                    	Text=""
                    	OnCommand="y,10;x,SCREEN_WIDTH-5;zoom,.5;horizalign,right;shadowlength,0.1"
                    	InitCommand="playcommand,Update"
                    	UpdateCommand="%Timestamp"
                    />
                    NOTE: The font that is used here is pulled from the Fonts folder of my theme. In my case, the font used is _Arial 14 shadow 16x16.png -- you do not need to indicate the spritesheet size (16x16) or the file extension. Replace the font accordingly if _Arial 14 Shadow does not apply to you.

                    Save the file and close.

                    If everything works properly, you should get the timer to display on the top right like so:


                    Hopefully this helps!

                                For anyone who wants to keep track of their scores throughout their sets, lurker could put this in the OP I guess:


                                File -> Download as -> .xlsx or .ods
                                (thanks LG for helping out with the second set)
