I think Rad3n means that he had to rename the file from (name).txt to (name).sm but he can't. I think on vista, the file name extensions are hidden. If they are, then on the first page it says how to change the settings.

I'm on vista and I can't seem to save the .sm file. It opens into notepad then I paste in the data but it won't save... you say vista is a pain right; so there's a way around this?

Vista is hard to manage, that's why i'm downgrading to XP ASAP.

this guide is alright.

I like vista.... but what do I need to do... I'm not getting any new info here, just a consensus that vista sucks.

All I need to know is why I can't save (is that even vista's fault).

And How to fix it would be nice... but I can probably work that out.

Thanks again

There are two options.

1. You can turn UAC (User Account Control) off. I wouldn't recommend that, though. It leaves you wide open.

2. Go to your Stepmania program folder (the one probably found in Program Files), right click, and go to Properties. Then go to the Security tab. You'll see a list of user types (administrator, users, etc). Click on Users, and then click on Edit. (You probably have UAC on if you're using this method, so UAC will bring up that all-too-familiar dialog. You know what to do.) Check all of the checkboxes in the Allow column, and click OK. Now you should be fine.

All the boxes were checked..... I got pwned by vista

also, no. I did save it as a song.sm not a song.sm.txt (I had to change options in control panel to do that). If it was song.sm.txt I would be able to save it though because you can always open a txt file in notepad. but a .sm file, you can't open one of those.




IT'S OK NOW I FIXED IT .... thanks for the assistance.... ^_^

I'd love to make an FFR song
but ffr makes this more difficult than it should be

Yeah, seriously, this is way to overwelming, but it's obviously easy for some people & it looks like you'll never see me " make my own arrow garden. "

IMO it's quite easy, but whatever. If you're going to just give up...

If you take one look at SM, everything else comes quite naturally in my opinion. Most people can tell when they're doing a crappy job.

This sticky title is misleading... at first I thought this thread was about the standards of making stepworthy music. =/
