Once you have done the configuration, save it as a .sm archive (for example: New Game.sm), and now you can create you steps
Background is 640 x 480
Banner is 256 x 80
CDTitle is 100 x 50
1: Insert the song(s) in your "Songs" folder, with the .sm file, BG, Banner and your CDTitle (BG, Banner and the CDTitle are optional, but make the song better)
2: Open stepmania
3: Go to Edit/Share option in the menu
4: Search in your packs the songs what your added and enter in it
5: Now you are in the edit screen, you are going to see arrows in the top of the screen
The arrows will change depending of the mode of gameplay what you selected, the modes of gameplay are:
Single, double, couple, solo, 3panel and routine, they are in the screen when you searched your songs
Now, these are the controls to put the arrows:
Single: 1, 2, 3 and 4
Double: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 (four for one side and four for the other side)
Couple: Same controls for "Double"
Solo: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6
3panel: 1, 2 and 3
Routine: Same controls as "Double" and "Couple"
You have to put the arrows according to the rhythm of the song
Hope this helps
Greetings, minecraftfan
