How to change Stepmania's arrow speed mods

[super-smashman]

You don't want to change the BPM of a song or it will be HORRIBLY off sync. Unless you want mean you want to change one of your own sims because it is off.

You do this in the Edit Songs section inside StepMania. Load the song you want and at the very first note it should tell you the BPM. One of the F keys (not sure which) will make the BPM increase while another will make it decrease. Hit ctrl + P to play the song to see if you got it right.

Yeah, I figured that part out, but of course then there's the resyncing, which is painfully easy, yet really long and it's hard to remember where all the arrows go.

You know, I've noticed that when you add custom speed mods to the game, it messes up C400. Like when you first install the game and play at C400 the arrows do not actually scroll at C400 C300 scrolls faster than 400 does by default. but when you add a custom mod like 2.5 or C500 it makes C400 actually scroll at 400 BPM.

Has anyone else realized this as well?

Have a question a little off topic.

I once downloaded a song called Bag really really slow mix.
It said he used 192nd notes

Do u kno how to change it so I can get 192nd notes?

[Riktor]

The only way to do such a thing right now, would be to make a custom build of Stepmania. If someone could program the game to recgonize 192nd notes it's all good.

It was probably meant to be 192BPM

Does anyone here know why the hell I keep getting this

Theme metric 'OptionNames : C500' could not be found in 'Themes/default/metrics.ini' or 'Themes/default/metrics.ini'.

as an error? I added everything correctly, correct syntax and all. And nothing worked.

[super-smashman]

Go back a page.

[Ryanistehleet]

Well I put the speed mods in the english.ini, and saved it along with the speed mods with the default folder, and it still won't work.

[super-smashman]

Copy the codes here, I bet you made a small error.

[Ryanistehleet]

Works now. Thanks.

I was wondering, is it possible to change the actual default speed? I changed SpeedDefault to 2x, but it dosen't seem to be working. So then I decided to switch the 1x and 2x actual mods around, and found out that it automatically selects the one that has 1x mod, and not the name.

Anyone have a solution to this?

For the people who accidentally get rid of their metric speeds and etc, here is a full list of speed mods plus english:

YAY! I PWN!. Read the readme. This is mainly a nice little add-on to the mods. It seperates all the mods to be chosen individually (i.e. Boost and Wave).
It also has percents (i.e. 200% Expand, 300% Boost, and/or 1500% Dizzy).
It also has speed mods x1.25, x1.5, x1.75, etc. all the way x10!
Plus, CMods from 50 to 1000 going by 50's.
I added 50% stealth which I call white. Also, 75% stealth (transparent).
One more thing, I put in 50% Flip. It's pretty much puts all the arrows in one colomn like in DDR Extreme USA Misiion Mode.
Try this: Converge, Stealth, 200% Brake. It's pretty much a new mod! I call it Bounce.
Check it out and enjoy!
