I kinda hate 5. It just looks (and believe me I really hate having to use this word) gay.

3.9 for simfile editing and 5.0 for playing.
The only real issue I have with 5.0 is the really slow initial loading times.

if 5.0 can port over notebar (freezes with colored heads plz) then 5.0 would win over 3.9 for me.

I still use 3.9 mostly for making simfiles...because I'm too lazy to mess with both stepping modes in 5.0 and up.

spoken like a true raccoon..
but really get outta here.

in my opinion it's all about preference. it's true that 5 has everything 3.9 has and more, yet switching from something you are used to, to something that will be wierd for like 2 months, idk not worth it for me. plus i think sm5 looks mad gay

This exactly for me, actually. And the fact that the scores on the default theme dont show up, only the percents, which kinda irks me. I'm so damn surprised this many people play sm5.

Does anyone know how to get the scores to show on the song select screen on the default menu?

Each have their own advantages for me.

3.9- This can run the themes and has downloadable noteskins (I don't know if SSC/SM5 has that as well)
- If I ever go to make a stepfile, I can rely on 3.9.

SM5- The gameplay is more smooth in this version.
- You can select between how many keys you want to play easily (even though I only really play single (4key).

the percentages are based on raw score and therefore are more meaningful than the machine scores (which are hilariously broken in the newest version of sm5 anyway)

I don't even know why people liked machine scores in the first place, they pretty much tell you nothing aside from higher numbers being "better scores". Percentage is far more useful to a player than machine score ever has, or ever will be.

really guys

REALLY???

if you all knew the history of sm5 you know that when it started as sm-ssc it was created to massive MASSIVELY improve the theme side of stepmania, the things you can do with sm5 is to insane for words, like a quick example

yes, you can write a script to edit the noteskin in game, 3.9 can only dream of doing stuff like this, but this is still nothing compared to some of the stuff other people have made, like there is even a theme with a mouse supported interface for god sake.

sm5 is way way better for making themes, but its also more advanced seeing that it uses lua which is quite easy when you get to understand it but people are just so lazy to learn it, its quite sad actually.

also try making proper beatmania and piu support in 3.9 because guess what, sm5 can

sm 3.9's gameplay does feel a little more raw which is something a lot of people have gotten used to over the years


but sm5's fluid motion doesn't take much time to get used to

This thread makes me wonder if I'm the only person who uses SM4.

So would someone inform me why everyone hates SM4?

Default Re: Stepmania 5.0 or Stepmania 3.9?

sm4 was basicly trying to bring sm to the next level and fixing all the bugs that came when sm was in active devolpment like with 3.95, in 3.95 there are a load of bugs because it was basicly everyone trying to make sm more advanced but adding stuff half assed, so there was a load of broken code, like it is more advanced than 3.95 as in it has an updated smo protocol which is still used in sm5, and it does have lua (cvs ver and alpha vers), but lua was massive disliked, and the amount of bugs just ticked people off to get it, chris danford tried to solve it by making the beta series which used ini files like the 3.9 line, but it was still shuch a mess, and after sm-ssc got released which had an active team and a load of fixes, chris basicly gave up on the 4 line and it got left behind and unfinished, sm-ssc was basicly sm4 alpha+ as in 3.9+, but with a load of changes, and in the end it got accepted as sm5
