How do you get the Unlock screen on stepmania to be displayed? I have Takyua's ExtremeVS1 theme and the unlock screen doesn't come up on the attract screens! It's supposed to be right after the ranking screen! But it doesn't appear at all? Does any one know y?

This part can be tricky if you're not familiar with any of the programming (ie: Theme metrics, dwi/sm coding). Themes can support the unlock feature, but it must be "implemented" first.

If you want to give it a shot, go into the Stepmania Data folder and look for a file called "Unlocks.dat" Open it with Notepad and it should come with instructions inside. Try to follow what it says and use songs that you have. I don't have it in front of me so I can't give direct examples. But if you have no idea what you're doing, I don't recommend you mess around with it.
