- If by oni you mean oni courses, then you have to create or download course files. Check the Simulator FAQ and the Stepmania readme for more information on courses.

- www.savageddr.com has announcers and skins. Also look out for Foonmod, which is an AMAZING skin.

- Go into the options menu, under either Gameplay Options or Machine Options, there should be a setting called "Marvelous Steps." Set this to "courses only."

- Obviously you either don't have it in the right place, or your dwi file is incorrect. Need more information to solve this one.

- Challenge is the name for oni in Extreme.

- AA for full combo is only on the home versions. Stepmania simulates arcade scoring, in which you need 93% or more of the total dance points on a song to get a AA. Dance points are NOT the same as score. Refer to here for arcade/Stepmania scoring information.

- In the future, please post Stepmania help questions in the sticky.

I nominate either DJX or syncognition to be moderators of this forum.

Certain thread starter obviously needs to do some research about DDR and Stepmania before he asks questions.

I guess it was out of place, but it wasn't really worthy of it's own topic. When someone ignores the stickies, they always seem to respond first. Much faster than the current mods (no offense, I'm sure you guys are busy doing more important things). However, since DJX and syncognition don't seem to be busy very often, I do think that they should be mods. I have never seen any dumb/immature posts from either of them. The only reasons I can think of that they shouldn't be are that there are enough mods already, and that they both joined fairly recently, so they haven't been around very long. That's just my opinion though.

eh, I can assure you personally that once college classes start (tomorrow) I'll be on quite a bit less. I would assume its the same as DJX since he is also 18 I believe. I think the mods tend to do a great job here, though sometimes it's hard to find one on...they do have lives outside of DDRfreak though. if you want to keep talking about this, I think we should move it on to site feedback though. I won't be making a very good example by hijacking this thread further

I'm going to blame the fact that I live in a totally different time zone (GMT fo lief yo) for me not being able to be around every time something happens.

If you can get to the who's online page, there's generally one mod or another on at some point. Just get hold of them if you feel there's something that needs to be locked.

And it's handy to have people around who have good knowledge and who are always around. Just cause we have green feet, doesn't mean we know everything about the subject we're modding about. I mean, I was originally made mod because there wasn't one for the UK and the folks in charge decided we needed some.

I'm not sure what the point of this was now

But yeah. This thread has pretty much gone OT enough (and it's had the original questions answered) to warrant a lock.

*pow*
