[SM4] Custom Speed Mods

[AJ 187]

For the longest time, you've had to manually add in speed mods by modifying the metrics.

For SM4 themes, you don't really have to do that anymore.

Introducing Custom Speed Mods.

All you have to do is:

1. copy CustomSpeedMods.lua to the Scripts directory of your favorite SM4 theme
2. edit SpeedMods.txt with your preferred mods, comma separated, like so:
   1x,2x,2.5x,3x,4x,C200,C400
3. move/copy SpeedMods.txt to your preferred location (discussed in documentation), depending on if you want custom mods to be per theme instead of in all themes.
4. edit the path in CustomSpeedMods.lua to point to SpeedMods.txt.
5. make a small metric change (also documented):
   look for "list,Speed" in the metrics of the intended theme and replace it with "lua,SpeedMods()". You can do this in the default as well, and all themes without customized option lines will contain your custom speeds!

Note: this method is probably more complicated than the normal way, but it allows for greater results (in my opinion) so I decided to release it. dubaiOne will include this in the next version.

Might want to work out the

Crash reason:   Assertion '!m_sCurrentNoteSkin.empty()' failed

bug.

(SM really should just revert to the default skin when that happens :/)

SM4 =( What about 3.9 ;_;

[shakesoda]

3.9 doesn't support scripts, making this impossible.

Yeah, because you just HAVE to have your arrows scrolling at a constant XXX bpm for everything you ever play. -.-

Yeah, I would've loved to have this work on all versions, but no.

I've yet to see this bug but I'm actively searching for it.

edit: since I was asked...

kuri, is it possible for you to not start a flame war in every thread you appear in? I really have been noticing a feeling of hostility from you towards others on multiple occasions recently.

It's not your problem how other people choose to play the game.

No, as a secondary developer, it is. You wouldn't know anything about that, tho.

AJ: Nah, having too much fun being just like everyone else who is so well loved in the "community."

Don't hate me because I am acting just like your friends. K?

From one a55hol3 to another, Jesus fcuking Christ shut up. For starters, it's impossible to take you seriously (see; I'm sorry, all I heard was "blah blah blah, I'm a whiny b!tch.") when you can't even spell simple words like though and okay. In addition to the above, don't try to make yourself seem right when you're not. Anybody else can play however the hell they want and if you have any issues with it, that's your fcuking problem and nobody else's. Simply put, leave the sh!t up your a55 where it belongs, we don't need it here. Now if you don't mind, perhaps we can proceed in un-fcuking this thread.

AJ: Great work, this looks like it could really come in handy. Just wondering, though, is there any way to limit the number of mods pulled from SpeedMods.txt?

[shakesoda]

The censoring makes that post look so much worse than it is.

But yeah, again, great work AJ.
