Question About StepMania

[Koga428]

Ok, I've been wondering about this for a while,
Can you,
Install StepMania to a disc, along with the songs and all that jazz?

A CD? Well it's technically possible since you can add custom fields for where to put your songs. Problem is the machine data (including scores, config...) and the cache are saved in subfolders which would be read-only on a CD, so you'd need to edit the code to change that path I would think.

Yes, you can install StepMania to a CD. I have already done so. It just won't save thes scores and config settings. What I did to install it to a CD is install it to a directory on my desktop (it can be anywhere), put the songs in that I wanted, and burned those files to a CD. If you want an autorun, open up notepad save it as autorun.inf, and put this code on it:

[autorun]
open=Program\StepMania.exe
icon=Program\StepMania.exe

This doesn't go in any folder on the CD, just in the root directory. Make sure when you burn the files on the CD, you only burn the contents of the StepMania folder on your desktop. Don't burn that whole folder.

No, no. Just save the file you get when you download the program from the StepMania site. Then save all the songs in a folder and in, like, Notepad just write instructions on how to run the installer and move the songs over to the program. I've done this and it's really good because most people wont want to play it very much if they don't have many songs.

RE: Question About StepMania

too much work? god what do you people want!? its not like it's not worth it and it takes like 10 minutes and going in and making a autorun.ini file doesn't take time? if you know what ytou're doing you could get it done in... in 10 minute if you're a complete dumbass it might take an hour

... It takes 10 SECONDS to tell your retarded friends to goto stepmania.com and to figure out how to download songs on their own like everybody else!

[echud123456]

Tee hee

Ask anyone on the forum (including you're lazy freinds) weater they's like a installer that install songs for them and lets them install more later manuallly or have to do it the old fashioned way. No need to get all mad about it do it the way you want to. Just a suggestion

RE: Tee hee

Stepmania does not like running off of a CD. It will lag severely and skip a lot if you do so.
