Re: The Etterna Project

I think he means changing the order in which you can browse simfiles you have like in alphabetical order and stuff. I triggered it once in Etterna but I have no idea how to do it again.

Re: The Etterna Project

Have to seriously document this stuff sooner or later. I never would have thought to do that.

Re: The Etterna Project

Heyo~ Never used CMake and I get:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:3 (project):
Failed to run MSBuild command:

MSBuild.exe

to get the value of VCTargetsPath:

when trying to generate with the GUI.

Any help would be appreciated~

Re: The Etterna Project

General checklist: Run CMake as admin, and have Visual Studio installed (or else MSBuild doesn't exist).

Otherwise this is unfortunately a rather non-specific error.

Well I guess no Stepmania for me then.

Here's what I did, correct me if I did something totally wrong:

1. Download zip from git repo
2. Extract to where I want it
3. Run CMake as admin
4. Specify the extracted folder path for source
5. Specify the Build folder inside for binaries
6. Hit Generate
7. Error

Windows 10, got VS14.0 Pro, and MSBuild.exe is in there too.

Do I have to actually clone the project (if that makes any difference) ?

Cloning is different as it will download dependencies. Also do the following things.

1. Ensure C++ is checked in the visual studio installer, it is not by default with 2015 and newer.
2. If you are using cmake gui, click configure until errors go away (should be twice).
3. Cmake is set to create a build for the 32bit (x86) toolset.
4. Ensure Microsoft DirectX SDK (June 2010) is installed.

With that, it should be good.

Re: The Etterna Project

needs a compiled installer for each major release, this cmake shit has kinda turned a lot of mates away from trying it out

Yeah good thing it doesn't bother me too much, but anyone should be able to play the game without such trouble.

1:

2: Doesn't work

3. Ok, what about it though ?

4. Doesn't this come with any other big software ? Anyway I'm downloading it I guess.....

Re: The Etterna Project

yea this build your own shit is dumb, it triggers me to see people posting screenshots on like "0.55.5282" or something tbh

Re: The Etterna Project

How long should it take to clone that project ?? It's literally taking forever on my side wtf ? It gets to 14% instantly then it's ridiculously slow.

beyond 0.54.1?

Re: The Etterna Project

I've already spent hours trying to (c)make that shit work. How can an open source project be so damn hard to get. I'll keep posting until I get it to work because I want to play that game.

PS Don't get me wrong, the whole thing is absolute boss, but its accessibility sucks ass. It's like no wonders SM community is so small and niche, Osu has a sick easy install for everything, from the actual game to the files. I believe my problems are specific and I'll deal with them for sure, but man the focus should be on making the install much easier and frequent (less functionalities per compiled release).
