SM5 Additional Songs Folders? And Music on Options screen?

[LegendOfMyth]

I just downloaded SM5.0 and was wondering how to add songs from another directory. In older versions there was a AdditionalSongsFolder line in the .ini but I can't seem to find anything resembling that in the new version.

Also, in the 5.0 default theme there is music on the main title screen(_music title) but when you go to the options menu the music stops. How would I go about making it so that the music plays on the option screens as well.

Thanks in advance.

1.) go to '%appdata%/Stepmania 5/Save/Preferences.ini', You can usually just paste that into your start menu ( without quotes ) and it will open the file.

Modify AdditionalSongFolders=*

2.) go to Themes/default/Sounds. Make a file called 'ScreenOptionsService music.redir'. Edit the file in your favorite text editor. Add '_Music title' to the file and save. Hit F2 in StepMania 5. Done

Thanks a lot. That worked perfectly.
Is there anyway at all to get the music to play even in the menus inside the options menu? What you told me to do makes the option menu have music, which is what I wanted but it stops again if i go in one menu deeper like to the button config or something.

Strange. I did what you said...



...and the folder is here...



...however SM5 detected nothing.



Any help regarding this?

Get rid of the double quotes. They aren't needed and, as you have observed, they keep SM from reading the path properly.

Oh sweet, it worked. Thanks! Somehow SM5 hates if I open the file and SM simultaneously.
