Help with endless mode

F3+9 should skip to the next song if you do it in gameplay. (It ends the current song immediately)

It did work.... stupid Fn key bios got in the way...

The problem now is every time i need to skip im getting off the pad and running over to the computer when i was originally able to achieve the same result from holding the start button on the dance pad....

Thanks for the help

Yeah, that's a good point. Endless mode needs some better design to allow skipping songs without making it impossible to get a results screen. Or better, allow better picking beforehand so that people don't want to skip songs.

I'm going to work on workout mode for my theme next week, make something better than Endless Mode.

You could try this course file. Put this code in %APPDATA%/StepMania 5.0/Courses/Workout/Shuffled 12s.crs (create Courses and Workout folders if they don't exist)

#COURSE:Shuffled 12s

I wanted a similar thing a while ago
I tried the above method and it didn't seems to work

So instead, I made batch script to copy all the desired song into "skill based" directory

@echo off

set dossier=D:\stepmania\Songs

set filtre=*.dwi*

set chaîne=SINGLE:BASIC:12



for /f "tokens=*" %%a in ('dir "%dossier%\%filtre%" /s /b') do (

for /f "tokens=*" %%z in ('type "%%a"^|findstr /l /i /c:"%chaîne%"') do (

xcopy "%%~dpa\." "D:\SINGLE EASY 12\%%~na" /D /E /C /R /H /I /K /Y /S



@echo %%~dpa

@echo %%~na

@echo %%~dpa

@echo %%a



)

)

copy/paste this code into notepad
replace the following
dossier = path of stepmania's song folder
chaine = the difficulty you want to get, it will search into the *.dwi files (so, if you want basic difficulty at 12, you'd chose SINGLE:BASIC:12)

You also have to chose in which folder you want the output (here it goes into D:\SINGLE EASY 12\ ),

you save this file as filename.bat

you run the script as many times as needed, I suggest not to put the results folder directly into stepmania's song folder, but to move them afterward manually once you've finished making your different folders

for example i did a mixed endless course with multiple skill based folder

COURSE:5 Endless mixed;

btw, is it possible to make a double pad endless course ?
with the above method and directory containing only songs that have double step, all it seems to find is the single version of the songs

(i use default theme)

Thanks for the scripts!

My song collections is small enough (official ddr packs only) that I just did it manually during my lunch break at work....

@Kyzentun: cant wait to see it!

I decided to instal your consensual theme, I have the possibility to chose the double version of the song now : )

I too am eager to see your workout mode
