i'm sorry if this seems sorta out of place or stupid, but how do i get my compy so i can press more than two letter buttons at the same time in SM for steps that require that? if i hold down 3 or 4 letter keys at the same time, then none of them register, and my computer makes the gutteral beeping noise (lol duno if u know what im talking about but whateva E1.gif)



You're posting in the right spot^.^

I'm glad to see this thread turn out as well as it has^.^


Some kinds of Keyboards (PS/2) are known not to register 3 steps at once. USB have been known (I may be wrong) to generally read 3 keys at once vs. the PS/2's 2 key-only reading (SHIFT+<letter> style).

Just go into the options and turn off 3-steps if they're giving you that much of a problem.

Some combos work and some dont. That's how it is with different keyboards. For example, my left down and right arrows can all register, however, my left up and right doesnt register.

i have a question about my Stepmania Skipping. I have alpha 24 and it always seems to skip a few times during each song, which kills my timing, turning my perfect into a great or even a good. i have a Nvida G Force intergrated with 128 ram for it. my computer itself has 348 megs of ram or so, with a AMG Athlon processor at 1.8 ghz. i have windows XP. i have tried the few suggestions they had on the site and still nothing. i dont see how it could be skipping due to high resolution or graphics setting, i mean, it is a N Vida which runs other high end games like nothing. any help would be appericated.

I need help with setting up announcers and themes. I have an announcer and theme I want to use. The only problem is they are in a "stepmania package". I try using Winace to get the files out of each one, but I get another stepmania package file instead. So if someone could help me out here step by step for setting up a new theme and a new announcer, I would greatly appreciate it.

The thing that matters with computer gaming is the video card, then probably processor, RAM, etc. Your video card is a flaming POS. Generally, it's probably good enough to run Stepmania, but definitely not at max settings. Try downgrading the settings and see if you notice a difference.

If it ends in .smzip, then do this:

Right Click -> Open With -> SM Package

as far as the windowed thing goes i'll take a stab in the dark. It's been awhile since I'vebeen able to play but options>graphic options (maybe) then switch to fullscreen might also be under gameplay options. like i said i havent played in awhile.

I've had two questions about Stepmania for awhile, so I'm finally going to ask them now.

#1. Is there a way to leave marvelouses on during regular play, but make them have the same point value as perfects? If so, how?

#2. How can I find/delete scores for individual songs?

Thanks in advance.

the way you get the left.gif down.gif up.gif right.gif arrows in the center of their screen is by turning on "solo singles". works great.

get themes at stepmaniastuff.com or browse around ddrmaniax.

I'd like to speak to someone directly about the coordination between the metrics and the BGanimations in the developement of themes for SM.

My AIM screen name is sq3r kaT and my e-mail is [email protected]. If you add me to your buddy list I won't show up so have to "Send an IM" to me to get in contact. Help would be GREATLY worshiped and you will have credit for the end result of my project. Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry I'm not exactly sure where to put this I just realized this isn't really a bug or something. But I really don't know where else to go so yeah.... sorry if this is out of place.

I'm suddenly having problems with StepMania.

I've had it for quite a long time and never had problems with the timing, but now suddenly, the timing is all messed up!

I get Boo's and misses when I'm positive I hit the arrows at the correct time. Why am I suddenly having this problem? I never changed anything!

If you have a second keyboard around the house, trying using that.. there's always the possibility that you've been banging on the one you're using a little to hard biggrin.gif

--

I've seen a few people using speed mods not normally available on SM... how the hell do you do that? 2.5x, C500, etc.. any help would be very much appreciated!

You know that makes sense because lately I've been having problems with certain keys on my keyboard not working....but my arrows seem to be working fine. I'll try another keyboard. Thanks!
