Question about Grade Requirements in StepMania

Relambrien · 05-5-2007, 05:11 PM

Forgive me if this has been asked/answered before, but I'm terrible at searching and couldn't find anything.

Anyway, I'm wondering if there's any way to change the requirements for a certain grade level in SM 3.9. For instance, hypothetically, make an A only require a score of 50% of the maximum.

I figured it would be in the theme metrics somewhere or something, but I can't find anything. If anyone could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance, and I apologize if this has already been asked. I'm absolutely horrid at searching for anything -.-

If you end up sucessfully rendering the grade system, I suggest that you don't post scores, unless you explain what you did. All of your scores would be considered fake.

Well actually, the reason I'm asking this is because a theme I downloaded is inaccurate in its grade scale, and I'm trying to fix it.

Besides that, I'm not good enough to post scores anyway :P

You'd probably be better off not using it then.

I believe it's in the Stepmania.ini file in the Data folder.
I think this is the code you're looking for. Didn't test, though:

GradePercentTier01=1.000000
GradePercentTier02=1.000000
GradePercentTier03=0.930000
GradePercentTier04=0.800000
GradePercentTier05=0.650000
GradePercentTier06=0.450000
GradePercentTier07=-99999.000000
GradePercentTier08=0.000000
GradePercentTier09=0.000000
GradePercentTier10=0.000000
GradePercentTier11=0.000000
GradePercentTier12=0.000000
GradePercentTier13=0.000000
GradePercentTier14=0.000000
GradePercentTier15=0.000000
GradePercentTier16=0.000000
GradePercentTier17=0.000000
GradePercentTier18=0.000000
GradePercentTier19=0.000000
GradePercentTier20=0.000000
GradeTier02IsAllPerfects=1

Looks like 20 possible "Letter" Grades. AAAA is 1, while AAA is 2 (GradeTier02IsAllPerfects=1). I think. Lots of fun stuff to play around with in that file. Most of the variables have pretty self-explanatory names, so you shouldn't have any trouble with it.

Looks like I MIGHT know more about Stepmania than I previously thought. But please do tell me if I'm wrong.

There's a whole ****** (I'm using the foreign def: bundle of sticks) of things you can do with stepmania.

I wouldn't be surprised if there was something in SM that made the arrows dance the cha cha cha or something.

Engler · 05-5-2007, 11:05 PM

That would be muy fresco.

Well that's what changes it, but I screwed it up a little bit. I'm going to fix it tomorrow, though. I think the fact that I took out the -99999.000000 might have had something to do with it, but the grades were still one level above what they should've been. I'll mess around with it some more, and if I totally screw it up, I can always just copy the default here

I remember having to change that whole code after downloading Groove 2.2. That was so freaking annoying because I wasn't a regular ITG player when I dl'ed it, and I didn't know that grading scale. Ahh...bad times...

Relambrien · 05-6-2007, 03:14 PM

Well I can't seem to get this to work.

Here's what's happening:

The in-game score gives me something equivalent to 98%.
The grade given belongs to the 99% tier.
The game "percentage" (the ITG-style score) gives 91.67%.

Man...
