Here's an interesting problem I had today.
I was editing steps to a song this morning because I had this sudden urge to write a nice, keyboard-difficulty file. Write write write, gap gap gap, things are going really smoothly. Unfortunately, that always spells doom.
I save my file, maybe halfway complete (likely less), and head over to Dance mode. On a whim, I try to peek at its stats, using the ITG2esque Beta60 theme. Instead of normal numbers, here's what I get...
Steps ?
Jumps ?
Mines ?
Hands ?
Gee, thanks, Stepmania. You've replaced my nice difficult 11 with a THREE STEP FILE on light. Three. One long freeze arrow, a random tap, and another long freeze arrow. The BPM changes are still there, the gap is still correct.
I even went back and checked the .dwi and .sm files; they still held my Challenge steps intact. I even looked at the .dwi.old and .sm.old files; THOSE still had Challenge steps. NOWHERE did I see these random crap light steps sitting around, and yet Stepmania somehow crapped them out instead of my steps. What the heck? I even tried restarting SM a couple times, changing themes, nothing worked. So after I try restarting Compy here and seeing if that works, I'd like to know if any of the rest of you have a clue as to what's going on here.
All help is greatly appreciated.
