Completely rewrote the entire tutorial.

Included Windows Explorer picture to make things easier to understand.

Provided self-sustained download links for different versions of StepMania, OpenITG, a BPM analyzer, and ITG's "ogg length patch".

More fleshed out information on controls, making the actual chart, and ITG arcade use.

~

Looking for feedback and/or suggestions.
And as always, questions are welcome, should you want to know something.

More generally, this is how to make a stepchart. From there, I provide people with information of what they may do with their files.

Was there something you wanted added? Could you provide a link?

Hi is there an easier way to do this? I followed your steps but I wasn't able to go into stepmania to edit the song.

well everything should be there -> Start -> Stepmania -> tools and package exporter -> Create a new file song.
After, u should be able to edit and create new steps for this song tho.
The diw old / sm. files are getting created automatically, you can edit them later to attach banners / titles - difficulties etc.)

Aaaanyways:
If u are rly that new to this site / game etc. , i do NOT recommend u in creating your own charts with the purpose of getting them into the game here.
Since only nearly "perfect" stepped / timed / synced songs will get a chance.
In Addition u need the authors permission, thus there are already a bunch of files from authors like ( Dj Sharpnell e.g.)

First get used to the game, get a feeling on "how" the steps for beats should be etc..
If u want professional help from some well known Simfilers u should ask TC_Halogen, e.g. , or my personal favorite : "bmah" /(<- yes im a fanboy <3 xD). they might give u some hints and suggestions tho.

Hey, I've been playing FFR for years now, really on and off but I've only just recently gotten into the idea of stepping files.

Quick question about Stepmania, 3.95 I think it is:

I've got like four songs stepped or am in the midst of stepping at the moment. I also had two songs previously around, but I've since removed them from the My Songs folder because I didn't want to step them anymore. However, when I try and play any of these four songs (that I actually want to step, lol) through the normal game mode, the first time it goes through fine ("1st Round" or whatever.) Strangely, during the Final Round, I am unable to select any of the other three songs - all that's available is one of the two songs that I've already deleted from the My Songs folder, complete with bs steps and all. What do?

I'm slightly confused as to what you did exactly but I'm just gonna go with this for now lol. Stepmania makes a cache on your computer. When you add/remove songs that are the same title you need to go into options and click reload songs and courses.This will go over the old cache. Hopefully that helps :]

the Songs are limited to a special amount of time.
First round , everything up to Marathon, second -> short + mid , final -> only short songs.

To get rid of these "limited" tries, u should disable them via options ^^

Hey, thanks guys. I've resolved the issue of the "limited" tries. However, I still can't get rid of the ghost song/simfile, even after reloading courses and all. I rechecked the folder, and the song/simfile definitely isn't there anymore. What else can I do?

If you've got windows vista the ghost file could be something to do with user account control (uac). I had problems with that on my laptop until I disabled uac.

Nope, I don't have UAC enabled. I can live with it, I guess.

Is there a way to make the arrows go at a faster speed in the editing/syncing mode?

I recently came across this thread and I think we should add a short mention about DDReamStudio for users who want to try out that editing tool. There's already a mini guide from Patashu on the matter, so maybe just a quick side note in category #3 with a link to this would be enough.

I know the tutorial was made in 2007 and DDReam wasn't used a lot back then, but maybe we should encourage its use since it's a very helpful alternative tool for those like me who dislike stuff about the SM editor (not being able to use your mouse is one prime example).
