trying to make a stepmania file, got a problem

[xxghettopnoixx]

im not going to ask how to do it, i got that down, doing it manually. got the bpm at a perfect state, song starts perfectly. heres my problem: after only 5 steps, i already have a 6-digit score. im not sure, but i dont think this is right. how do i change the rate of score-growth? btw, this song is on challenge, so maybe that has something to do with it

RE: trying to make a stepmania file, got a problem

um. 1. is it rated a 10 foot song? 2. how many notes are in it (counting doubles as 1)

those are the 2 factors to determine score. 10 foot song = out of 100,000,000 2 foot song = out of 20,000,000

and, the more notes in the song... the smaller the initial values of notes.


my guess is you only have 40 or 50 notes done, so of course the first 5 notes will account for a much larger portion of the entire song, so the score increases faster.

8 feet, 400 something steps, halfway done with the song. so the incompletion of the song is another factor?

don't worry about it. There is nothing you can do to change sm's scoring system without playing with the source. It should work fine when you are done, with a max score of 800 000 000.

80,000,000 not 800,000,000
