sm-ssc: the (old) thread.

[PHD]

Windeus courses were specifically made for 3.95/OpenITG/Arcade builds (Same thing anyway). SM4 uses tiny instead of mini. Thus making you going into the course file and changing mini to tiny. I think that's how NeoMAXCML got his course to work on an SM4 build.

As for issue 1. I've never had that happen to me. does sm-ssc have issues with VBR MP3s?

"Hurr stepmania 3.9/3.95 did it this way and the way 4.0 does things is wrong"

THESE WEREN'T MISTAKES MADE
STOP TRYING TO FORCE US TO MAKE THE GAME BE MORE LIKE OUTDATED UNSUPPORTED VERSIONS

[FSX]

That has to do with using VBR MP3s. If you use Oggs or non-VBR MP3s, there is no issue.

sm-ssc v1.0 Beta 3 has been released! Get it at the Google Code project page:
http://code.google.com/p/sm-ssc/

Also people theming for sm-ssc should take note of a change in the theme:
* ScreenSelectPlayMode (previously the select style screen) has been renamed to ScreenSelectStyle.
* ScreenSelectPlayStyle (previously select play mode) has been renamed to ScreenSelectPlayMode.

I've tested this on Pump steps and it appears that the combo with Hold Checkpoints active leads to a lot of inconsistency. For example, I stepped one track and the highest combo without breaking reads 471, and sometimes it hits 475. Every hit is a "Great" as well.

[Daisuke Master]

You aknowledge that HoldCheckPoints Hits are not counted together with Perfects and CPMisses are not counted along with the Misses right? Or are you timmings wrong?

Here's the correct (if not then the nearest) setup for PiuHolds:

theme metrics:

[Player]
JudgeHoldNotesOnSameRowTogether=false
HoldCheckpoints=true
CheckpointsUseTimeSignatures=true
CheckpointsTapsSeparateJudgment=false
CheckpointsFlashOnHold=true
ImmediateHoldLetGo=false
RequireStepOnHoldHeads=false
InitialHoldLife=0
MaxHoldLife=1
RollBodyIncrementsCombo=false
ScoreMissedHoldsAndRolls=false

Preferences.ini (I'd prefer a Static.ini under /Data folder)

[Options]
;timming/grading
TimingWindowSecondsAttack=0.12
;If you've experienced combo cutoff when hitting jumps, triplets, quads... this will fix it
TimingWindowJump=0.04
;leave enough time to avoid missing checkpoints in holds and rolls
TimingWindowSecondsHold=0.20
TimingWindowSecondsRoll=0.20
TimingWindowSecondsMine=0.12
;you can adjust these as you like...
TimingWindowSecondsW1=0.02
TimingWindowSecondsW2=0.04
TimingWindowSecondsW3=0.08
TimingWindowSecondsW4=0.12
TimingWindowSecondsW5=0.16

[FSX]

Why is TimingWindowJump in there anyway? It seems to have no purpose; of course, if the combo code worked correctly.

[Daisuke Master]

Ever tap'd a jump/quad and got a reset on your combo? (you know, when you hit rappidly in a row two or more buttons that aren't allowed to be pressed in certain keyboards)

[FSX]

I've had that happen, but if the combo code worked the way it was supposed to (and it does in sm-ssc), it would be irrelevant. You're supposed to get combo if you hit the row and miss combo if you don't.

I get this weird warning everytime I hit a hold.

WARNING: Error playing command: [string "HoldJudgment::HoldJudgmentHeldCommand"]:2: attempt to call method 'HoldJudgmentHeld' (a nil value)
WARNING: [string "HoldJudgment::HoldJudgmentHeldCommand"]:2: unknown(self = (null),(*temporary) = (null),(*temporary) = (null),(*temporary) = attempt to call method 'HoldJudgmentHeld' (a nil value))

I been using retro(so far one of my fav noteskin). Not sure if it just retro only that it doing this on. But it kinda getting annoying.
