SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Alright i'm relatively new to SM5, i've been using SM 3.95 for as long as i can remember.. But i decided to make the switch.

But there's two things i don't understand that i guess are different

The first is the speed mods, how do you add them? It's obviously different than in SM 3.95's metric.ini and i'm aware that the simple Speed mods.txt no longer has any use in SM5, I also went to that coding google SM page, but it was pretty much hieroglyphics.

The second, can you move the arrows to the middle of the screen?

Pretty basic questions but i've had no luck finding anything :[
Any advice will help.

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Speedmods should be a txt file in the folder under Data I believe. Just kinda add what you need. Not sure about the other one.

edit; Yeah, SM5 folder --> Data --> SpeedMods.txt

mine looks like this:

0.5x,1x,1.5x,2x,3x,4x,5x,6x,7x,8x,C250,C450,C650,C675,C700,C725,C750,C775,C800,m550


edit2: reread your op, wait the speedmods.txt has no use? How does mine work then?????

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Yeah mine is set as 2x,3x,4x,5x,6x,C650,C700,C725,C750 but i recently read that that no longer is used, so although that has that written, in game it's still default :[

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

I'm probably using an outdated version weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

1. No idea

2. I don't think centered is incorporated into SM5 yet, rr they hid the option like they've done with a few other options.

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Center 1 Player is still in SM5. Go enable it in the options.

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Found it :) Thanks, now i just gotta figure out the damn speed mods, startin to hate 3x and 4x hahaha

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

speedmods: %appdata% / Stepmania 5 / Save / LocalProfiles / YourProfile / speedmods.txt, so yeah each profile has it's own speedmods

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Haha how do i get to that folder though, that's the part that i thought was foreign.. :P
I don't understand the route to get to localprofiles

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

write %appdata% in your window explorer :P. It should go to C:\Users\youruser\appdata\roaming

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

my computer has gone against me it has no appdata or roaming D: Thank you SM for making this 100x as complicating as it could be hahah -_-

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

In that SS where it says "Search Results >" and "Search Results on Elijah's Computer >"

click there so it changes to where you can type, and copy paste %appdata% in there and hit enter. should take you to the Appdata --> Roaming folder

Then go down to SM5 --> Save --> Local Profiles --> then it should be under your profile thing

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Make sure it's set to "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" on your folder option since the appdata folder is usually hidden by default.




or alternatively try:
Start -> all programs -> stepmania -> open stepmania settings folder

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Ahhh **** i can't figure it out all these folders listed below are empty i give up :P thanks anyways guys.

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

THANK YOU.

I can haz custom speedmods on my SM5 nao. ^_^

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

C:\Users\"your profile"\AppData\Roaming\StepMania 5\Save\MachineProfile\SpeedMods.txt

dont go in to the windows one

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

I figured it out. I went to C:\Users\"Elijah"\
And there was no App Data
So i just searched roaming on the WHOLE computer and one of them was linked to
C:\Users\"Elijah"\AppData\Roaming So i accessed it from there

I'd just like to take a moment to say good fight microsoft and good fight stepmania.

That being said i still can't access AppData from my computer profile. That probably has something to do with Ca25nada's post :P

thanks everyone.

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Bumping this because I have no idea what to do to change the speedmods, the speedmods.txt file doesn't work, I'm missing the "save" folder in Stepmania so I can't access localprofiles or machineprofile. I searched appdata and roaming on my entire computer and found nothing. I'm not a computer wizz so avoid jargon if possible.

I'm on windows 7 and I saved the Stepmania folder to my documents if it helps solve my problem.. Thanks in advance.

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

I figured out an EASY way to do it, for me atleast.. Hopefully it works for you.

Search Stepmania 5 in your start menu
Go to Open Stepmania 5 Settings Folder

It should open up Users > (Username) > AppData > Roaming > Stepmania 5
It's basically a shortcut from having to deal with all that locating app data and roaming crap
From there just go to Save > MachineProfile > Speedmods.txt

Badabing:]

Hopefully this works for you! Works for me no problem

My main point is, Do it from the Settings folder and not the Program folder

Re: SM5 Speed mods and Arrow Position
 

Another easy way to locate the files (for Window users); In the search just type StepMania 5, a bunch of listings should pop up. Click 'open StepMania 5 Setting Folder' this leads directly to the directory. Then follow their instructions as suit.
Save>LocalProfiles>0000000>SpeedMods
Or Save>MachineProfiles>SpeedMods
