Possible help with this meaningless effort?

[Squeek]

I'm trying to get SM to display the Rate in the results screen should the user change it from 1.0x. I got it successfully displayed in Player Options instead of Song Options, but I know the code to get Rate specifically to display in the results screen requires more than that.

How can I get stepmania to recognize Rate as a Player Option and display it with the rest of the options (note, C600, etc)?

Joint effort on this is appreciated. So far all I've managed is to get Rate in the Player Options instead of Song Options. And it works fine. It just continues to display under all the Player Option mods in-game and doesn't show up with the speed mods in the end.

I think this was in explained in the stepmania - "This is how to change speed mods"

I understand how to ADD rates, but I want them displayed in results along with all the other player modifications. So, if someone wanted to take a screenshot of them playing at 1.5x music rate, they wouldn't require two to do so (In-game, results).

good idea squeek! alas, i am clueless...

Is this to stop those people who say they have high scores but they're actually using a slower speed?

That exact thing has been pissing me off to Squeek.
I'm still wondering how It can be fixed.

Tass - Thanks.

Digi - Wow, didn't even consider that... I was doing this as a gift for Reach (primarily) and to all other music-rate players out there so as to not be forced to take two screenshots per song.

Eclipse - Just keep looking around and tell me if you see anything.

What might also help is if anybody has the alpha in which it was first introduced. The code was older and probably much less concise, so maybe I can find the display easier.

I'm really hoping it's not one of the DLLs in "Program" that would do it.

What I've been thinking about is that you have to tell Stepmania to STOP considering Rate a Song Option and let it believe it is a PlayerOption. Thus, the moving of the menu into Player Options. That didn't work, so I'm assuming the location of the modifier is irrelevant so long as it is being called from another place in the code to be displayed where I don't want it.

Certain song options are displayed at the score screen, though, aren't they? I'm pretty sure FailOff and stuff like that is shown, but I may be mistaken. I will have a look at the metrics here in a minute and see what I can find.

Btw, mind telling us how you moved it into the player options? That would be useful for if you want to play a song at high speeds in SMLan

Search for [OptionNames] in the English.ini file in the Languages folder of your theme.

You should find something like this.

x0.25=x0.25
x0.50=x0.50
x0.75=x0.75
x1=x1
x1.5=x1.5
x2=x2
x3=x3
x4=x4
x8=x8
C200=C200
C400=C400

Add as necessary. As an example, mine looks like this:

x0.25=x0.25
x0.50=x0.50
x0.75=x0.75
x1=x1
x1.5=x1.5
x2=x2
x2.5=x2.5
x3=x3
x3.5=x3.5
x4=x4
x4.5=x4.5
x5=x5
x6=x6
x7=x7
x8=x8
C200=C200
C400=C400
C600=C600
C-50=C-50

Kilga - Uhh? I know about how to get blank space to go away...kinda not what I'm asking. Hope you were referring to someone else, or a post that got deleted before you replied.

EB - Very simple. In "Metrics.ini", move the Rate section of Song Options up to Player Options in [ScreenOptionsMaster].

To find the Rate, search "# Song options" or the above bracketed text.

Edit - Not sure if you need the "together" anymore...I removed it and it works fine.

Then, search for "Line1=list,LifeType". Should be 8 items with Rate in there. Remove rate, fix the numbers so they are in order again, then change "LineNames=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8" to "LineNames=1,2,3,4,5,6,7".

Next, search for "Line1=list,Speed". This should be 14 items beginning with Speed. Add Rate wherever. It will actually look the same as it does on the Song Options Page...presently investigating (though I believe it's because it's 18 items long and wouldn't fit otherwise). Then, fix the numbers so they are in order again, and change "LineNames=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14" to "LineNames=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15".

If you get that error saying the metric doesn't exist or something, move the block of rates to where it would be in the options menu. Mine is under speed mods, so I have those under that...just in case.

While writing this I formulated several theories and will be acting upon them. Let's see if I can solve it...

[Kilgamayan]

Sorry, I saw "display the Rate" and zildjan's post and made an assumption. >_>

[Squeek]

No problem.

Anyway, I've found clues toward a possible solution.

Search for "[ScreenGameplay]" to see what I mean. This is the Gameplay Screen that obviously shows up while you play a song. This is the screen where you see music rates at the bottom with your other song options.

NOW. Search for "[ScreenEvaluation]". This is the eval. screen that would show up when you're done with your song. It's subordinate is "[ScreenEvaluationStage]" for when you're playing stepmania on normal stuff...meaning not endless or such. You'd think simply copying the Player Options, pasting, and editing PlayerOptionsP1 to SongOptions would work, but alas, it does not. I need other people's help to figure out why; this is what's blocking the display.

Agh. Ayudame por favor.

wish i could help squeek... give me lump sum annuities or beta values of stocks... i can help with that.

but yea, i really would like to know how this is done... would be nice to have that small piece of evidence in future SSs. "C530, Note, 1.0x Music Speed" something like that.

[Squeek]

Tass, I actually have mine separated by a slash now. I likes it better.

So, C600 / Note / 1.0xMusic would be perfect.

I was out earlier so I didn't get the chance to work on this.. since searching inline text isn't working, I'm going indepth on ALL THE CODE to understand it as best I can. Wish me luck...but also keep looking for yourselves.

PS - to reiterate...
