Yet another newbie

Hello, I'm another addition to the community of FFR, I've been playing ffr for about a month and I guess I need more practice in this game.One quick question, how do you get backgrounds and/or banners onto your songs you make in SM?

Re: Yet another newbie

For a banner put "banner" in the image name.

For a background, put either "bg" or "background" into the image name.

For a CD title, put "cdtitle" in the image name.

Hope that helps.

p.s. Welcome. ^_^

That was stepmaina, straight from the readme. -_-;

How StepMania Loads Songs (top)
All files for a specific song (data file, music file, banner, background) must reside in a single folder. This folder must have the following path:

Songs/<group folder>/<song folder>/

For example, the song Discow Moscow may consist of the following files:

Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow.sm
Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow.ogg
Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow-banner.png
Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow.png
Songs/TournaMix 4/Discow Moscow/Discow Moscow-movie.avi

StepMania supports the SM, DWI, BMS, and KSF song file formats. If the song file format is BMS or KSF, simply put all the KSF or BMS files into the song folder.

If a song file does not specify a valid banner file, StepMania first looks for a graphic in the song folder that contains the word "banner". If that search fails, StepMania will guess which image is most appropriate.

If a song file does not specify a valid background file, StepMania first looks for a graphic in the song folder that contains the words "bg" or "background". If that search fails, StepMania will guess which image is most appropriate.

If a song file does not specify a valid CDTitle file, StepMania will look for a graphic in the song folder that contains the words "cdtitle". If that search fails, StepMania will guess which image is most appropriate.

If there is exactly one movie in the song folder, StepMania will insert a background change to that movie at beat 0.
