    Stepping a file

    My first one actually. But I had a few questions..
    1) What are the dimensions for background and CD title?
    2) If I use SM5 to step it, will it be playable on versions of 3.9 and 3.95?

    1) cdtitle can be any dimension, it should be .png for transparency though

    2) songs stepped in sm5 can be played in 3.9 and 3.95 but some features might not work but the basics (holds mines notes bpm changes) work

      What about the background? Does the same thing apply?

        1) Background is 800x600 (banner can be 256x80 or 512x160).

        2) SM5 and SM3.95 both are able to handle rolls, SM3.9 can't. Negative BPMs on SM5 are called "warps," which still work on any other version of Stepmania but they transfer over as a negative BPM. For example, if you make a warp a 4, it skips 4 4th beats (assuming this is right, if not someone correct me).

            The only thing that doesn't work in the other versions is the weird hold note you're supposed to keep tapping.

            Otherwise pretty much everything else works.

            Good luck :3

              Standard bgs are 640x480 but they can be whatever size really since sm adjusts them just make sure to keep the same aspect ratio.

                I keep hearing about negative BPMs on files, what does that look like in game? (I haven't played SM in like 2 years, get at me bro)
