"Lane cover" @ screencut is hiding the rate at which a song is being played while playing a song.

Re: The Etterna Project

why does not make a way to show what keys you're using during the play?
i saw some stepmania videos having that function available.

example of what im saying:

it's pretty possible to do in vanilla sm5 by just editing the theme

You can try old compiled binaries from the old repo, though i wouldnt recommend that:

Re: The Etterna Project

I'm kind of wondering why this build of Stepmania even comes with songs at all. 3.9 and 3.95 didn't come with songs and we all had to find stuff ourselves back then. The included songs also double the size of the installer.

I'm gonna miss the old scoring system with the letter grades when it gets removed since I can't compare to how I did back then.

Thanks for the report, it's now fixed and will be in the next release...whenever that is.

Whenever someone bothers to compile a release and put it on the new github repo, which has no releases.

It's not "Just compile and make a release". Before we make a release we have to make sure we have what we want in it, and that it is stable. There's isn't a lack of releases because we are "too lazy to make a release", but simply because there are new features which require a lot of testing to ensure nothing blows up.

Ex. It'd be really bad if we made a release and it ends up randomly wiping profiles, which most people probably don't back up.

Also before you or anyone else mentions that we could make an "experimental/beta" release, it's been shown on this project and many others that nobody reads the release title or release notes. They then continue to complain about issues which were clearly stated in the release notes. So no, it won't happen.

this build is geared towards a particular style of play and it's a huge benefit to new players to have some examples of what that entails
3.9 and 3.95 were super user unfriendly and 5.0 only made extremely superficial changes to improve that (including some built in songs) before the devs started breaking it just so they could say they were doing something big

I'm gonna miss the old scoring system with the letter grades when it gets removed since I can't compare to how I did back then.

it's not difficult to learn what percentages correspond to the old letter grades, plus the scoring system in 3.9(5) gives you so little information about how you actually did that it isn't worth worrying about

Re: The Etterna Project

I'll be waiting eagerly for the next stable release then. Etterna has so many neat features built in that I'm using it over Stepmania 5. The bundled noteskins aren't really my thing because the receptors don't flash when you hit a note but I have other options.

I wonder what hurdles thememakers have to jump in order to make themes work on Etterna.

The "old scoring/grading system" isn't lost. A theme has access to the judgements and can calculate DP very easily(I think many vanilla SM5 themes did this).
Regarding themes, I think most/all SM5 themes should work on Etterna almost without any changes(Of course, they wouldn't use the new features).

Re: The Etterna Project

is there a way to turn off mouse control in sm. or have it only work when the mouse is in the actual game window.

Re: The Etterna Project

Theres any way to do Artist or simefile authors search like "classic" way ? I swear i have tried everything, i just cant do it with the commands etterna uses

What do you mean? Is it the search system that had a next/prev button and moved you from one song to the other? If so, I believe it can still be implemented(Probably the same way), it's just not in the default theme (Til Death).
Why would you want that though, if you dont mind me asking.
