Help little Haku [C-mod trouble]

[Hakulyte]

Okay, little Haku recently got a game called Stepmania. After playing some pad-simfiles and passing them at beginner,
little Haku played with something cool called song option. Little Haku looked at Speed and saw that:



As you can see there is 2 special letter, the "X" and teh "C". While little Haku was looking at those awesome letter
there was something going wrong.

"I know what this "X" means! Really i do! But.. that C.. "

That mysterious "C" was seriously confusing the poor little Haku. So after trying a song in "C400" like ehm Sakura, little Haku realized that when the BPM was changing it was still easy to hit the arrows.

"Cool! I can hit that evil arrow that was coming super slow or gigadelicly fast huhu.."

*brb reading stickies*
...


So ehm there's teh question:

What do little Haku need to do so he/she/alien can play in C600? Because C600 is much more cooler than C400!

What i got atm is:

C:\Program Files\SM\Theme\metrics.ini

Then

find that place with c-mod and edit u_u..

emh ok cool but how? I'm a 5yr old little noob who don't know a lot about computerz and leetz stuff like that. I played only since Alpha SM version how the hell i'm supposed to know that.

Thanks for help.

In other words, i just need to know what to do to change the c-mod.. and i'm tired.

Edit: I don't know how to speak (properly) in english.

RE: Help little Haku [C-mod trouble]

You've got the first step down.

1. C:\Program Files\SM\Theme\metrics.ini

2. Scroll down until you see "Player options". Use the search function by pressing Ctrl+F and type in "player options" and make finding it easier.

3. You should see speed mods. Take any of the speed mods, change it to the desired value (like C500, C600, etc.) on both of the places within that speed mod's row. Exit the window and save the changes.

And that should be it. ^_^

You're awesome.

Could have just said "how do i create custom C mods"
I put a totorial somewhere. If you still need more help. Aim me.

[Hakulyte]

Well it's more about adding the code so the ini file change it. Because the metric file don't have "player options" or anything clear about c-mod. I saw some specific lines in other themes that i got.. but i'm trying to make the "Aoi" theme metric work and the speed mods look like hidden.

If you still have that tutorial, i would like to look at it..

Dont mind it saying default. Just open whatever theme folder your working on.

----------------------------------

Step 1 -Getting To metric file-

-This step is plan and simple. The first thing you have to do is locate your stepmania folder. The most common place for this inside the programs folder in the C drive. Inside of the stepmania program folder there are more seperate folders. We need to locate the folder called "themes" once you have found the themes folder click on the defualt theme folder to find the metrics.

Step 2 -Finding And Changing Speed Mods-

-Now click on the "metrics" file or open it with textpad. Once inside the doc. hold ctrl and press F. If you didnt already know this is the text search for most programs. Inside the text find type in C4 and click find. This will bring you to the section of the metrics that is the speed mods. The text here should look similar to this.

[ScreenOptionsMaster]
Speed=11
SpeedDefault=mod,1x
Speed,1=mod,0.25x;name,x0.25
Speed,2=mod,0.50x;name,x0.50
Speed,3=mod,0.75x;name,x0.75
Speed,4=mod,1x;name,x1
Speed,5=mod,1.5x;name,x1.5
Speed,6=mod,2x;name,x2
Speed,7=mod,3x;name,x3
Speed,8=mod,4x;name,x4
Speed,9=mod,8x;name,x8
Speed,10=mod,C200;name,C200
Speed,11=mod,C400;name,C400

-If it doesnt look anything like this then im sorry but your a complete moron. Ok now to change the text to what you want. Notice above that the number of the speed goes up from 1-11 no matter what you change it still needs to go in order. If you create more then 11 speed mods you will need to change the speed=11 at the top to the number of speed mods you have. Now here is an example of a common edited speed mod text.

[ScreenOptionsMaster]
Speed=12
SpeedDefault=mod,1x
Speed,1=mod,1x;name,x1
Speed,2=mod,1.5x;name,x1.5
Speed,3=mod,2x;name,x2
Speed,4=mod,2.5x;name,x2.5
Speed,5=mod,3x;name,x3
Speed,6=mod,4x;name,x4
Speed,7=mod,8x;name,x8
Speed,8=mod,C200;name,C200
Speed,9=mod,C300;name,C300
Speed,10=mod,C400;name,C400
Speed,11=mod,C500;name,C500
Speed,12=mod,C600;name,C600

Step 3 -Changing the language file-

-Your not done yet just because you changed the metrics, there is one more step to be done before you can play with your new mods. Inside the themes folder is yet another folder called languages. Click on this folder and open the text doc. called "english". Yet again you shall need to apply the amazing text find abaility. If you have already forgotten this is done by holding ctrl and pressing F. Yet again type in C4 and hit find. It will come up with a section that looks 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
x5=x5
x8=x8
C200=C200
C400=C400

-This part is very simple so dont be stupid. All you have to do is type out exactly what it says above for your custom mods. The text on the right is what the text will appear inside the game. If you want to be interesting with this you could name a Cmod somthing diffrrent Then C600 or whatever it is. Here is an example of this.

C600=Cheese

-Inside of the game you will select the mod called cheese and it will be C600 like you assigned it. Now if you want to be simple about this just type out the mods normally. Here is an example.

x1=x1
x1.5=x1.5
x2=x2
x2.5=x2.5
x3=x3
x4=x4
x5=x5
x8=x8
C200=C200
C300=C300
C400=C400
C500=C500
C600=C600

Step 4 -Entering the game and testing your mods-

-This part is common sense but just go into the stepmania program and test to see if you get any errors about your new speeds mods. If you get errors first reread the guide or Message me and i will help you personally.

[Hakulyte]

It's working fine.. thanks for all. Well actually it's not working at all 'cause that english.ini don't have anything related to speed mods..

It's just a bunch of:

[ScreenSoundOptions]
HelpText=&UP; &DOWN; to change line::&LEFT; &RIGHT; to select between options::START to accept changes::BACK to discard changes

[ScreenOptionsMenu]
HelpText=&UP; &DOWN; to change line, then press START

Edit: Err forget that i'm totally wrong..

[Kles]

Hmm, what exactly does the "C" stand for? I personally call it "constant", but I really have no idea.

[SqNtz_xoombot]

Wow you're correct! It definately stands for constant. Probably.
