I was recently wondering if your ever gonna add compatibility so you can play LUA modded songs/courses in StepMania 5
AKA:
Windeu Hates/Loves you
SRT's
D.O.W.N.S
UKSRT's

Basically any of those kinds of things, Will there be any way to make it so they work in StepMania 5?

Someone needs to convert them to a newer API than the one from 10 years ago is all.

Talk to the authors of those things. It's their responsibility, not ours.

Stepmania does not support XML files since a decade ago. You would have to convert them to pure Lua by translating the XML stuff that these songs have.

Although these files just wrap Lua code inside them, so it shouldn't be too hard to convert.

There's also an xml converter built into stepmania. So you pick the song on the music wheel, use the debug menu to run the converter, then go through the lua changing the function calls that aren't compatible.
