Stepmania 5 beta 4a crashes with Cyberia Style

Hello Stepmania users! \^o^/

I have troubles to get Stepmania 5 beta 4a (or beta 4) to work with both Cyberia Style 7 or 8 (2 famous themes for SM): the games chrashes no matter what.

I build Stepmania from sources on Linux (OpenSUSE Tumbleweed 64 bits); it compiles successfully and I can run the game with default theme. Ok then.

But when I select Cyberia Style 7 theme, I can access to main menue, but no more: the game crashes if I go further, due to segmentation fault. And with Cyberia Style 8 theme selected, the game crashes directly at launch, due to segmentation fault again. Please find the crash logs attached at the end of the post.

I have tried different compilation options (remove optimizations, debug mode, etc.), but the result is allways the same.

Previously, with older version of my OS (OpenSUSE 12.2) and Stepmania 5 (beta 2 something), both Cyberia Style 7 and 8 were usable and I was really enjoying Stepmania experience on Linux... What I have noticed from beta 2 to beta 4a, is that Lua theme-related errors are now displayed on top part of the screen. Some of those errors appears in the logs.

I wanted to create an issue on Stepmania bug tracker, but this action is forbidden for me é_è ...

Any of you have had troubles like this one?

Then, could you give me some advise ? Feel free to ask me any details on my configuration.

Thank you steppers!

Those crashes look like they're happening in videos. Check how you're building SM5 and make sure it IS NOT built with "--with-system-ffmpeg". If SM5 is configured to use the system ffmpeg, it will crash.

Thank you for your answer Kyzentun!

The system ffmpeg flag isn't selected when I build Stepmania.

I didn't assume it was a video problem when reading the logs. Then, I have tried to compile without ffmpeg (--without-ffmpeg flag) and no crash happens. This is a workaround, but I don't have video support any more (but, I'm not sure I will miss it that badly, I don't use video backgrounds for my songs).

I have also tried, out of curiosity, to statically link ffmpeg (--with-static-ffmpeg flag), but the building process failed.

This part of the log you posted is the callstack, which is like a path telling where in the code the problem occurred.

The line that has "MovieDecoder_FFMpeg::DecodeFrame" told me the crash occurred when it was decoding a video frame, that's how I knew it was an ffmpeg problem.
If you run configure with no flags, it should build and link with the bundled ffmpeg and display videos fine. The problems I've seen people have with videos have all been on distros where the package maintainer decided to tell configure to link with system ffmpeg, which causes crashes.
I'm considering adding a preference for soft disabling videos, so that people on those distros will be able to at least play without having to rebuild stepmania the correct way.

Cyberia Style has videos as part of the theme for graphical effect. It's too filled with mistakes to be used on Beta 4 or newer anyway though.

OK, then. But whithout any flag, the crash occurs. So there may be something wrong with the ffmpeg binaries I got after building.

I will try some songs with video as backgroung and default theme to check if the problem comes from ffmpeg itself, or from the way Cyberia Style gives its videos.

During the building process, stepmania and ffmpeg are both builded, right? So, is there a way to test ffmpeg binaries directly? Just to check.

You said:
It's too filled with mistakes to be used on Beta 4 or newer anyway though.
Do you mean CS7 (and 8?) is too old for beta 4? What mistakes are you speaking about (sorry if it stands out of the thread)?

re you using the source code straight from github, or some package from the linux distro you're using? If configure is actually building the bundled ffmpeg like it shoukd, you should see a line like this in configure's output:

configure: Configuring ffmpeg. This is quiet and takes a bit. Be patient.

(You can redirect configure's output to a file for easy reading like this: "./configure &> conf.out" and then open conf.out in a text editor to read it)
If you can't find the line I quoted, then something is interfering and configure isn't setting up the bundled ffmpeg. There might be other lines in the output related to ffmpeg, look through either by reading or with grep.


Errors and mistakes in themes are a long and miserable story. The short version is that practically all themes are full of mistakes, and only themes that have been updated in the last 2-3 months by a skilled (read: SM developer) themer are actually fully functional. I could give you a short list of themes I know work, but it begins with mine and ends with freem's, and that just makes me look like an ass.
The long version of the story is that for many years, mistakes in themes were only recorded in a log file that nobody read. These were generally mistakes like using variables or functions that don't exist, or not checking whether there is a song currently selected before trying to display its banner and stuff. Every time Stepmania encountered an error in the theme, it would stop whatever the theme was doing and log the error to the log file. Since practically nobody looked at the log file to find the errors and they weren't watching the screen to see that the various actors on screen actually did what they were supposed to. Fast forward through a couple generations of people copy pasting code between themes, sometimes without knowing how any of the code works at all, sometimes adding new mistakes, and you arrive at themes from last year, which have tons of hidden mistakes that people don't know about because nobody remembers anymore what anything is supposed to be doing.
I entered theming for SM5 in November of 2013, with my own plans, and no intention of basing my theme off of anybody else's theme. Being inquisitive and generally looking to make sure my theme worked perfectly, I found the log file for errors early on, and used it to make sure I didn't have any. In June, I had made enough changes to Stepmania to be comfortable with making more, and I wanted to improve how errors were handled. So I dug up all code related to theme mistakes that I could find, (including theme mistakes that would formerly cause Stepmania to crash), and routed it through the error reporting system you can see in Beta 4. This made it vastly easier for themers to see when they made a mistake and where in their theme to fix it, and gave users a way to tell when a theme is broken in lots of places. It also revealed that practically every theme has numerous mistakes from years of bad theming.
The upside is that there's a pretty clear indicator of the quality of the code in a theme. The downside is that everything not actively updated since Beta 4 (since approximately zero themers used the nightly builds between July and October to look for errors) is too full of mistakes to be usable. In theory, all the errors should be fixable if the theme authors go through and fix them, say, 15-20 hours of work at the very most, unless they're incompetent. In practice, it looks like most themes are abandoned, so everyone is screwed and I get yelled at by people because their favorite crap theme from last year or two years ago is broken trash.
(also, it's kinda really sad that the community of themers is so bad at coding that one motivated nutjob can come along and surpass themers that have been at it for years in just a few months. I'm not talking about graphics or worthless flashy trash, I'm talking about functionality and making sure every part actually works)

Wow, thank you for that long and complete answer Kyzentum. Don't worry, I'm not yelling at you or anything. I personally think you have done a good job by clearing themes errors management in Stepmania, even if, from my player side, it just adds some unusual stuff at the top of my screen. I hope it will help future themers to produce safer themes. I have already observed some errors from Cyberia Style in the application logs, and some bad practices also, like storing theme data in application directory, rather than user's.

To stick back to my problem, I think the theme isn't involved in my crashes any more. I have build beta 2 and beta 3a on OpenSUSE 13.1 (right now, close enough to Tumbleweed) and the crash occurs, whereas it was fine when I was using 12.3. So I think there is something wrong with the dependencies of my distro. Just to confirm, I compile source code from Github Stepmania's repo.

Ffmpeg configure's output is shown, and no error occurs during building. Is there a way to check my bundled ffmpeg binaries? Where are they supposed to dwell?

After building, the .so files for the bundled ffmpeg should be in the bundle dir like this:
bundle/ffmpeg/libswscale/libswscale.so
bundle/ffmpeg/libavformat/libavformat.so
bundle/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libavcodec.so
bundle/ffmpeg/libavutil/libavutil.so

There's a possibility that you're accidentally running an older executable that was built wrong instead of the one you intended to run. Stepmania puts the date and time that it was compiled at the beginning of the log.txt file like this:
00:00.073: StepMania v5.0 beta 4a
00:00.074: Compiled 20141124 @ 02:40:47 AM MST (UTC-07:00) (build 1292)
00:00.074: Log starting 2014-11-24 02:41:44
If you haven't found it already, the log file is in ~/.stepmania-5.0/Logs/log.txt
You can check it to make sure you're actually running the fresh executable you intended.

The build instructions I wrote a few months ago are here, so it might be useful to know if there are extra things you are doing besides what's in there.
In particular, most linux users installing source packages are used to running "make install" after make, but I don't think that actually works with Stepmania. I settled for making a symlink from the stepmania folder to the executable that is made inside src like this: kyz@home:~/stepmania$ ln -s ./src/stepmania stepmania
Then I always start Stepmania from a terminal by running that symlink.
