Stepmania grading issue

[ShadowDueler97]

So I have this issue in SM with the grading system where I don't get AAs when I should. A couple of screenshots to compare

Here's my score on this song:


And here's Walrusizer's score on the same song:


As you can see mine should be a AA but isn't and I can't figure out what the problem is. If anyone knows that would be awesome.

Compare GradeWeight metrics in the ScoreKeeperNormal section and GradePercentTier metrics in the PlayerStageStats section, and you'll probably see that they're different.
The grading and scoring system isn't fixed, the theme can set it to whatever the author feels like.

[ShadowDueler97]

It seems the metrics for Staiainv13 doesn't have anything that says GradeWeight or ScoreKeeperNormal

[ShadowDueler97]

Okay so I found this
PercentScoreWeightHitMine=-8
PercentScoreWeightMiss=-8
PercentScoreWeightBoo=-4
PercentScoreWeightGood=0
PercentScoreWeightGreat=1
PercentScoreWeightPerfect=2
PercentScoreWeightMarvelous=2
PercentScoreWeightNG=0
PercentScoreWeightOK=6

Would this be what you're talking about?

[Kyzentun]

If those metrics are different between two themes, percentage scores will come out different.
Another thing to notice is that the percentage score for the score with 1679 fantastics is higher, so the grade difference might be due to a difference in the grade tier metrics.

Those are for the percent score. You want GradeWeight and GradePercentTier; since what you pasted appears to be from SM 3.9x, they'll be in StepMania.ini (which I assume you're already looking in).

The grade should indeed be a (DDRMAX) AA since it's definitely above the cutoff, by the way.

[ShadowDueler97]

So I found the GradePercentTiers
[PlayerStageStats]
GradePercentTier01=1.000000
GradePercentTier02=1.000000
GradePercentTier03=0.930000
GradePercentTier04=0.800000
GradePercentTier05=0.650000
GradePercentTier06=0.450000
GradePercentTier07=-99999.000000

Problem is I still can't find the GradeWeight. When I try to find it with ctrl+f it says there's nothing that says gradeweight.

Are you checking in general metrics.ini or your theme metrics file?

I use 3.9 so I'm probably irrelevant to your problem but there was always two ways of doing metric work so just offering that possibility

[blindreper1179]

It's because of your high miss count. If you get enough misses, your percentage doesn't matter.

[NeonSM]

The real question here is: why do people play that retarded file?

[blindreper1179]

The actual real question is why the fuck do you think your opinion on a file matters?

[ShadowDueler97]

Oh boy.....

*ahem* anyways, Zenith, I never thought of that lol. I was looking in the metrics.ini for the theme. That might be the problem then?

Maybe, I would check in the other metric.ini file that isn't attached to your theme and see if what Kyzentun and Arcorann posted is there.

[ShadowDueler97]

So in the StepMania.ini there's this
GradeWeightBoo=-6
GradeWeightGood=0
GradeWeightGreat=2
GradeWeightHitMine=-6
GradeWeightMarvelous=5
GradeWeightMiss=-12
GradeWeightNG=0

And in the metrics.ini for the theme there's this
GradePercentTier01=1.000000
GradePercentTier02=1.000000
GradePercentTier03=0.930000
GradePercentTier04=0.800000
GradePercentTier05=0.650000
GradePercentTier06=0.450000
GradePercentTier07=-99999.000000

Is this what I'm looking for?

@ShadowDueler, you probably ran an ITG theme and those tend to screw up grading across all themes on 3.95.

Your percentage display is correct, while the GradeWeight values you just posted seem to be ITG standard, so change the GradeWeight to match the ones from this post:
