SMO

[TheRapingDragon]

Ok, so I want to play SMO, but on the SMO website it says to get it you just have to download SM 4.0. I have SM 3.9 and don't want to replace it with 4.0.

Is there no way I can get an older version of SMO that is stand-alone and can be played while still keeping 3.9? Or is there any way I can download 4.0 but not replace 3.9 with it?

Re: SMO

If you can find the right folder on smo.com they host old builds, but I don't remember what it is. =/

However:

If your SM 3.9 isn't CVS you can install them simultaneously (I just did). Then just go to My Documents -> Stepmania CVS -> Save -> Preferences.ini and change AdditionalSongFolders= to your SM 3.9 song folder.

Re: SMO

It's rc3, if that's ok?

Re: SMO

Yeah. I had them installed simultaneously for a really long time until I accidentally uninstalled rc3. (Don't ask. X.x)

Re: SMO

are you using the official SMO server?

Re: SMO

You need to enter the server number thing into the thing in the network options

Then coerce the thing from the dohicky and navigate the whatsitcalled into the other thing.

Hey presto!

I'll do it tomorrow, it's 4am, I should be going to bed (once I hit 2000 posts...)

I have them both now, but there is no folder in my documents called Stepmania CVS.

EDIT: Wait, so I need to copy my 3.9 song folder over to 4.0 to have them for SMO? But that means I'll be using up another 4gb of harddrive space, I don't want that, is there no way I can just tell SM4.0 that the songs are all located at a different location?

EDIT: Found it, re-directing now, cheers Tora.

EDIT: "AdditionalSongFolders" cannot be found, yay.

EDIFY: Found it, this is gay haha.


FINAL EDIT:

This is gay, first of all, for some strange reason C611 is far too slow on 4.0 and so I need to play at C711 for any sort of accuracy, even then, it seems like this has a different timing window as my accuracy is ****ed up on it. Seriously:

I lied about final edit. Basically, unless I can have the ingame settings of 3.9 (graphics/noteskin/timing etc) then I don't want to play SMO. I just went and, in 3.9, AAA'd Quasar (49 perf), AAA'd VoH (61 perf) and AAA'd V3 (50 perf) all first attempt. I also can't get over 80 mil on Reality in 4.0 yet 1st attempt got 83 mil in 3.9.

Is there any way to play SMO with the settings of 3.9? A theme, or copying certain folders and files or something?

Re: SMO

Yeah, the timing was the first thing I noticed when I started using 4.0

I'm like "omgwtf new timing window, that's homosexually abused"

Re: SMO

I don't like it. It's horrible getting greats on a song that you are used to AAA'ing with your eyes closed.

So like I asked, any way to change this so I can have 3.9's settings in the ingame part of 4.0? I don't mind keeping everything else so long as I can have 3.9 when actually playing.

Re: SMO

The timing window is different? I had no idea O.o gayness.

Re: SMO

Man, how can I go from 49 perf AAA to 68/2, 61 perf AAA to 62/4. It's not like I can fluctuate that much.

So, Tora, with you saying your speed has gone for a bit, imagine having your MA go too, it would be pretty destroying to your confidence haha.

[T0rajir0u]

Re: SMO

Check the .ini, I'm pretty sure fluctuations are due to the theme or something.

Yeah, I'd fucen kill myself =/

Re: SMO

Also, I can't even connect haha. I go to network play, enter "smonline.us:24842" and then SM freezes and I have to CAD it, this is so much fun!
