After thinking about it, I think I'll accept the new scoring system and the lack of chord cohesion now that I fully understand it. I'll try this fork of Stepmania once I get the chance and probably come up with some documentation since some stuff here still has to be explained without sifting through this thread.

New Github Repo: https://github.com/etternagame/etterna

Gonna need new releases compiled here since the old repo isn't maintained anymore.

@melonpopes
You can try old compiled binaries from the old repo, though i wouldnt recommend that:

I'm kind of wondering why this build of Stepmania even comes with songs at all. 3.9 and 3.95 didn't come with songs and we all had to find stuff ourselves back then. The included songs also double the size of the installer.

I'm gonna miss the old scoring system with the letter grades when it gets removed since I can't compare to how I did back then.

Thanks for the report, it's now fixed and will be in the next release...whenever that is.

[TheNoSoMan]

Whenever someone bothers to compile a release and put it on the new github repo, which has no releases.

It's not "Just compile and make a release". Before we make a release we have to make sure we have what we want in it, and that it is stable. There's isn't a lack of releases because we are "too lazy to make a release", but simply because there are new features which require a lot of testing to ensure nothing blows up.

Ex. It'd be really bad if we made a release and it ends up randomly wiping profiles, which most people probably don't back up.

Also before you or anyone else mentions that we could make an "experimental/beta" release, it's been shown on this project and many others that nobody reads the release title or release notes. They then continue to complain about issues which were clearly stated in the release notes. So no, it won't happen.

this build is geared towards a particular style of play and it's a huge benefit to new players to have some examples of what that entails
3.9 and 3.95 were super user unfriendly and 5.0 only made extremely superficial changes to improve that (including some built in songs) before the devs started breaking it just so they could say they were doing something big

it's not difficult to learn what percentages correspond to the old letter grades, plus the scoring system in 3.9(5) gives you so little information about how you actually did that it isn't worth worrying about
