StepMania 3.9 problem (Tools and Package Exporter)

ddralen · 06-8-2009, 11:42 PM

Ok, I don't care if it DOESN'T belong here, but I need some help. Ok, I knowingly put an In The Groove 2 theme for StepMania 3.95 into StepMania 3.9 (through the Tools and Package Exporter) and when I opened StepMania, I set it to that theme. So, now whenever I open it, it crashes. And I don't know how to get it off my game. Now remember, I put it in through the TOOLS AND PACKAGES EXPORTER, so I don't know if it's possible to delete it.

stepmania folder>data>gameprefs.ini change where it says theme to default

or just delete/move the theme from the program folder>themes

Wait, I don't get it. I checked my Data folder. There's nothing you mentioned also, the ITG 2 3.95 theme isn't in my Themes folder either. I REALLY need a solution.

I've also tried uninstalling/reinstalling. It isn't working. C'mon guys, I said Tools and Package exporter. This is ticking me off.

x:/.../stepmania cvs/data/gameprefs.ini

If the ITG 2 isn't in your themes folder, then it's crashing due to something else. The solution that who_cares973 gave is the only one.

Ok, even if we're doing this one step at a time, at least I'll get my game back. Anyway, I checked StepMania CVS/Data and there's only two folders: MachineProfile and Shaders. More help, please.

Read the directory.

ddralen · 06-9-2009, 12:09 AM

I don't understand. I've checked every single damn StepMania folder labeled "Data" and there is NO file named gameprefs.ini. I'm talking about 3.9. Is there something I left out? I'm desperate for help, whether I'm insulted or not.

That's why it's crashing then. You had an incomplete installation/uninstall. You are missing necessary files to run the game.

Delete all of your folders except for your Cache and Songs folder, then reinstall.

lol vista do what halogen says

ddralen · 06-9-2009, 01:05 AM

Thank you guys! Oh man am I ever happy!

Here's a better idea

Code:

[Options]
Game=dance

[dance]
Announcer=
DefaultModifiers=NOTE
Theme=default

[pump]
Announcer=
DefaultModifiers=default
Theme=default

Copy what's in the code box, paste it into notepad, and save that as GamePrefs.ini and put that in the data folder.

edit: And btw, the other files Halogen thought you were missing is generated after you run the game and make changes to some things. edit: Actually for most, you don't need to make changes, you just need to get into the song selection for the files to generate.

edit again:
Here's what it should look like for the first time

Code:

[Options]
Game=dance

[dance]
Announcer=
DefaultModifiers=
Theme=default
