    Re: How to change Stepmania's arrow speed mods

    I cannot save changes to .ini files in .ini format, so basically I cannot change the configurations for StepMania. Is this a Vista bug or what?

      I'm on vista and having the same exact problem.

      So I tried downloading Cyberia Style 2.6 because it's what I normally use and has all of the speeds I normally use, but it wouldn't load up right... =[ so I downloaded a newer version of Cyberia Style and realized that it's a little off when I click the arrows, so I end up getting poor scores.

      Guess I'll try downloading more themes or something.

        i found a solution.
        atleast it worked for me.
        take the file out of the stepmania folder and pull it to, say, your desktop.
        change what you wanna change, save it, and put it back in the folder.
        and there ya go =D

          Thanks for the replies. I found a solution that is easier than copying files to desktop: select stepmania folder, go to properties and change the default security options to full access to all users. Now you can change whatever you want.

              Whenever I try to save the changes to my speed mods (even if I didn't change anything) it says: "Cannot create the C:\Program Files\StepMania\Themes\default\metrics.ini file.

              Make sure the path and file name are correct"

              It does this with your program as well. Any ideas?

              Edit: Pulling it to my desktop worked.

                Is there a way to succesfully change the Rate Mods? I tried a 10x mod, (vROFL modifier (c) lol ) for my SM theme i'm working on, but if i have rate mods less then 0.3x or greater than 2x the game crashes...

                  There isnt, is theres no need to, and since theres songs out there that are un-passable at 0.5 rate, dont wry about it. Example: Hentai Swedvipe (Spelling is off)

                      Would be cool if the guy who made the speedmod editor shared his source code with me so i could combine the 2.

                            I know nothing about programming but I'd guess outputting a text file has to be one of the simplest things to do.

                              Yea, in c# its called a streamwriter and a streamreader. I dont know how to search through an already created text file and only replace what i need. Maybe if i could talk to desposition to see what he did.

                                Isn't every metric and english.ini the same to begin with? Then you could just replace it with a new one.

                                Can't you just save the new one when you specify where the old ones are?

                                Oh, also, it would be cool to be able to automatically add different rates for stepping.
