"How do I make a simfile (for FFR)?" - A guide

[immawhiteguy]

Alternately, (as I just found out) You can use Stepmania's "Tools and package explorer" to skip basically most of "Where do my files go?" and "How '.sm' files work".

how I did it was Start > All programs > Stepmania > Stepmania Tools and Package Explorer

The popup that comes up has a selection at the bottom to make a song. Upon clicking it, it prompts you to find the song in your computer (I put mine on my desktop). once you select the song and click OK, it does everything for you.

Then you just go in Stepmania and edit the song and its steps as you wish.



I'm doing that with 3.9 BTW.

Edit: When you "make a song" for the first time, it creates a category called "My Creations". Inside (naturally) is a folder with your song. When you go to edit the song and stuff in Stepmania, and you save your file, it makes the .sm and .DWI at the same time.

Or well, that's what mine told me at the top left corner.
