Aha!!! That's why they're in red...
Now, what if you have challenge steps 10 or higher? Will that work for it too?

No, only the Heavy steps will affect the song title color for some reason.

Thanks for all your help AMxJM!!! PM me your email so I can send you my SM - CHAOS 6.1

Oh, yes, I still have one more simple question any guru like you could answer - What are the "5 Max's"? I'm going to re-step each one of them.
Please correct my list if it is incorrect.

1. Maximizer - 190 BPM
2. Paranoia Survivor MAX - 290 BPM
3. MAX 300 - 300 BPM
4. MaxX Unlimited - ??? BPM
5. The legend of MAX - ??? BPM

Thanx!

-PD

Paranoia Survivor Max isn't a Max song; it's a Paranoia song. Just like Paranoia Max Dirty Mix.

Maximizer is a Max song, but not a level 10 (it's a 8 on Heavy and MUCH slower than its relatives). Max. (Period) is the ridiculously difficult Max 300 remix (also featuring sounds from Paranoia, but not as the focal point of the song), but it's done by 2MB (Uicchi Asami), not Naoki.

And for the person looking for msvcp71.dll for Stepmania, here's where you can get it:

Thanx - that helps a lot.

And, for u, DLL guy - when you get the DLL, extract it, and place it in the following folder - C:\Program Files\StepMania\Program\

Then, it should work just fine - heck, it did for me....

every time I try to start up stepmania, i get a message that say,
"This application has failed to start because MSVCP71.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem."

no, re-installing doesn't work. What does this mean?

I have 2 questions.

1. Can I make my own background movies and put them into a stepmania file? If so, how?

2. How do I add banners to songs? *shot*

First, gotta vent. Who the hell created this forum? I sign up just to wait 2 fricking hours to post for help? WTF?

Ok, with that outta the way I hope I can find some info. Been playing SM for a while now, so I'm not some new guy. Anyway, been having lots of probs with the newest version of SM and I've gotten nowhere in solving my probs.

First, depsite the several times I reinstalled today, I can not get the banner images to come up. I've browsed some help files and checked a few posts here and found nothing. If I missed it, could ya point me in the right direction? They worked fine in RC2, I think it was RC3 that broke it.

Next, my game has a major problem with stutter/temporary freezing. This was in RC2 as well. My songs and sound effects in the menu will get off-sync, along with a lot of buzzing mixed in with the songs. I don't know if it's driver related (on-board sound) or SM. Restarting SM fixes it for a little while but it acts up again soon enough. On occasion if I let it sit in the song menu for a minute it'll clear up. No idea why.

If you need any system info, lemme know what ya want. I have DX 9c I believe, and plenty of RAM and CPU power. Dunno where else to go for help. Thanks.
