Reading files remotely?

[Xiaounlimited]

Anybody know how to get SM to read files from another directory? (not the Songs folder) I want to install CVS for SMO, but I don't want to copypasta my songs from 3.9 and waste a crapload of space.

I recall doing it before, but I don't remember how.

Yep. Go to Stepmania CVS then open a folder called Data, then open a file called stepmania. 2 lines down from the top, you'll see AdditionalSongFolder=
After the = sign, put where all your songs are, I put C:\Program Files\StepMania\Songs.

yup

4a) Run either the "Play SMOnline" or "StepMania CVS" shortcut installed on your desktop. Let it boot up, then once you are in the game, quit the program. Doing so will create a Stepmania.ini file in the /StepMania CVS/Data/ folder. Open that file. Find where it says "AdditionalSongFolders=", and type in the location of your Stepmania songs folder (eg. C:\Program Files\Stepmania\Songs\). Save the file, then run SMO again, and your songs should load. If not, you did something wrong.
