I wanted to know how to make a song playable only as an extra stage.

Go to the simfile and open it in notepad and where it says #SELECTABLE:YES; replace that with :NO; Then open notepad and create a .crs file (see stepmania.com for details) named extra1.crs, and for one more extra stage extra2.crs I think. Be sure to specify mods and everything. Put the file in the song group folder, not the song folder, and enable extra stage in stepmania. There you go.

Question answered - Requesting lock.

maxx freak, your complicating things..

Okay man, whatever song you want to make an "extra stage" song - either has to be the hardest song in the group, or, it has to be done as maxx freak described.

You have to go into the ".sm" document.
This file can be found in your stepmania's song directory..

Lets say you wanted to make "Duality" an Extra Stage song..
"C:\Program Files\Stepmania\Songs\Chaomix\Duality" would be where you installed it to. Go into that directory.

Then, right click "Duality.sm" - and choose "open with"
Open it with notepad/wordpad.

You'll now see a list of code - this code, is what makes the song run, makes it look the way it does, and tells stepmania where the steps are.

It will look exactally like this:
#TITLE:Duality;
#SUBTITLE:;
#ARTIST:KaW vs. ? vs. Inspector K;
#TITLETRANSLIT:;
#SUBTITLETRANSLIT:;
#ARTISTTRANSLIT:KaW vs. Smiley vs. Inspector K;
#GENRE:;
#CREDIT:;
#BANNER:duality.png;
#BACKGROUND:duality-bg.png;
#LYRICSPATH:;
#CDTITLE:;
#MUSIC:Duality.mp3;
#OFFSET:0.000;
#SAMPLESTART:93.094;
#SAMPLELENGTH:12.000;
#SELECTABLE:YES;

Now see where it says selectible?
Change this value to "no" - it should look like this:
#SELECTABLE:NO;

I believe thats all you have to do - if there are any problems, lemme know!

Also, make sure "Extra Stage" is enabled in the options menu!
