[MinaciousGrace]

i might have upped the nerf on rolls a little and forgot about it

i assume things haven't changed drastically?

if so i'll add it to release notes and worry about it later

edit: uhhUHHHHHHHHHHHH ok so some of the unfinished and untested modifiers snuck their way into the release lib earlier so im reverting them and reuploading installer

e: k its fixt

YES

EDIT: Nevermind, it still crashes.

[MinaciousGrace]

both xwidg and i tested a few charts for crashes during edit mode without issue

can you send me the chart that crashed on skype, my guess is it's probably negative bpm stuff?

unfortunately the edit mode playback and the actual gameplay screen are not compartmentalized so basically a bunch of changes we make to the latter require constant checking with the former to make sure it still works =/

I'd be happy to help; shoot me a message with what you'd like a hand with if you'd like.

Hey you spelt favourites wrong

[Dinglesberry]

Could it be possible to be able to press ctrl + <letterkeyhere> to filter songs that start with a certain letter again? Seems like its not working now, I miss that feature :/

It's not a big deal since you can just press 4 to start a search then type the letter anyways. I think also starting the song search by typing a letter (not needing to be in the search tab) would be good, could have issues though since you'd have keys bound to gameplay/moving through the menu, not sure how it would deal with that.

Also, reading that, could it also be extended the opposite way, so you could set the AA tracker to 80% (A tracker)?

@Dinglesberry I think it's intentional.
From file 'ScreenSelectMusic.cpp' function 'ScreenSelectMusic::Input' :

// This is really more annoying than useful as well as obsoleted by song search

And the whole code for the ctrl+letter filtering was commented.

On the new update I get a weird glitch with the combo text when I use opengl, but it's fine on d3d. It's not really much of a problem, but it is kinda annoying

I'd just use d3d but opengl runs quite a bit faster on my laptop

yes it's intentional, it also opens up a huge amount of premium hotkey realty for manipulating planned features


also yes the target tracker goal can be made modifiable

i mean it currently is if you do some hacky theme shit but i can make it less hacky to do it

Odd that the glitch only occurs on combo text, but I've put in a fix that'll be in the next release. Interesting to hear that OpenGL runs faster for you, what GPU are you using?

[Flossy97]

GeForce GT 740M It's on this msi gaming laptop I got for Christmas a few years ago. It's really not great and I plan on getting a desktop at my earliest convience

It appears to be any song for me. I have tried 4 songs so far and after a couple seconds of playback it crashes.

Guess I'll have to use a different editor

Would there be any reason for these lag spikes? They appear to happen at fairly regular intervals as well.

[MinaciousGrace]

did that only start happening in the most recent update or has it always been like that, or do you not know?

what kind of specs do you have to be hitting only 500 fps with the given screen elements enabled?

also clearly there is a reason for the lag spikes, just there shouldn't be, that and i can't reproduce anything like that on my end

make sure your gfx card isn't getting temperature throttled, i would try capping your gameplay fps to 400 or using predictive rendering (or perhaps opengl)

@kraezy i've tried all sorts of stuff and i can't get the editor to crash send me a crash log

[LHB]

I believe I started having the issue around the time I switched from vanilla sm5 to Etterna. The strange thing is that after a while it fixes itself for some reason? I'm playing on a pretty low-quality laptop, but it has a 940M and it can play more intensive games than Stepmania just fine. I'll try fiddling with it some more and if it stops I'll try looking to see what changed.

[Kalre]

Is there any chance the installation of this could have broke my audio drivers or the overall audio quality of my comp ? I know it sounds dumb, but i can recall installing this the same day my audio when downhill, but its probably just a coincidence.

[MinaciousGrace]

it's extremely unlikely, even more so given that this is the first mention of any issue of this sort

if stepmania is the cause of the issue, again, it's probably not, it's a stepmania issue and not an etterna issue. none of the edits to the fork have gone anywhere near audio driver code

also editor crash bug has been fixed

[Kalre]

Man i have asked soo much dumb stuff lol, but here goes another one, i seem to be unable to switch to search songs by artist, name or any of the other options other than Group, reinstalled and it keeps working like that ? should i just stop tryng to use this wonderfull theme/mod

Obviously i know how this is usually done 1+4 but it just doesnt switch.

[Flossy97]

Are you searching correctly? To search by song artist you have to type artist= then the song artist, and for the stepper you have to type author= followed by the stepper you're searching for.

Ex: artist=terminal 11 would show songs by terminal 11
author=icyworld would show files stepped by icy

[MinaciousGrace]

bind to switch to search is just 4, not 1 + 4, alternatively you may click on the tab
