How To Get Songs On To Stepmania
 

I hope this will clear up all the topics saying that people need help on getting songs onto their StepMania. I have made step by step photos in attachments at the bottom.

[Step 1: Accessing the Folders] *corresponds to picture #1 + 2* - First, go to the StepMania General Folder, or :

C:\Program Files\StepMania CVS



Look down the list of folders. You should see one called "Songs". Open it.



Now you should be at :

C:\Program Files\StepMania CVS\Songs

[Step 2 : Opening the ZIP's] *corresponds to picture #3* - First, create a new folder for a category. I usually name it for the stepfile makers. (I put Arch's songs in a folder called "Arch0wl Songs") Or, to clear up confusion, you can simply name the folder "All Songs" to put every single one of your songs in. Now you should be at :

C:\Program Files\StepMania CVS\Songs\All Songs

Now, go find the ZIP to which contains all the neccessities. Every song MUST have : A .DWI file, (or a .SM file) and a .MP3 file. (or a .WAV file) To open the ZIP, just click 'Open' and it will start downloading. Now you should be in the ZIP Archive and you will see the DWI, MP3, and most of the time, several other images.

NOTE: If the .ZIP is linked from GeoCities, RIGHT CLICK the link and select 'Copy Shortcut' and paste that into the URL area.



[Step 3 : Extracting the Files] *corresponds to picture #4*

You should now be at :

C:\Program Files\StepMania CVS\Songs\All Songs

Create a folder for the name of the song you wish download and play on SM. (Ex. Afronova Primeval) You should now be at :

C:\Program Files\StepMania CVS\Songs\All Songs\Afronova Primeval

Now, extract each file into the Song Folder. (.MP3, .DWI, etc.)



Now you can play away.

you are now considered god

thanks ALOT yeah, this should DEFINATELY be stickied

*sighs at the stupidity of some

deltro, do you serve any other puprose on this board than to needlessly put down others?

plasmix, nice tutorial, seems to go a little nicer than the one on the SM site I used to figure out the program

Thanks for stickying this, j3wpin.

Dude, dude, dude, where'd you get the One Winged Angel stepfile?

You can get it at *removed*/originals

is the one winged angel that really really long song 'cause i have that one and i think its really long lol i have one 12 minutes that killed me i got AA tho and the songs are pretty cool too

I think One Winged Angel's only seven minutes, well, one the game

I did all of this but it still says it cant find any songs... I even checked mine with your pictures...

YES! that is quite possibly the best song in the world! :)

the one in the game... its like 12 -_-

kingdom heart's one is alot shorter

KH RULES

Same, and it's really starting to piss me off...

OMFG! SIMPLE EXPLANATION RIGHT HERE READ THIS OK!!!!!!


UNZIP YOUR SONG! TAKE THAT FOLDER YOU UNZIPED!

CUT IT

GO TO C DRIVE .... THEN PROGRAM FILES....FIND STEPMANIA CVS OR ALPHA W/E VERSION YOU HAVE (look for STEPMANIA) THEN LOOK FOR THE ( songs folder )

PASTE THE FOLDER YOU CUT INTO THE (SONGS FOLDER)

load Stepmania and you will have your song.

do you need to have Winzip for this to work?

Ok, I got Du Hast to work, but how do you get DWI's to work? Like, I got Du Hast to work because it has a SM File in it, not a DWI.... I'm fuckin confused...
