Why are people hanging on to 3.9/3.95?

The judging is the same. Your issue is probably with global offset like I said before.

%APPDATA% (Assuming you're using Windows, since you can run things that aren't SM5 and lol who uses linux other than me) > Stepmania 5 > Save > Preferences.ini > AdditionalSongFolders=

Eww, that is gross. Why would they make the game install stuff to the appdata and registry. That kind of bothers me that it is no longer portable.

Also the exact time frame of the judging might be the same, but it feels different for many reasons other than that. Everything such as the theme, noteskin, aspect ratio and others. Every tiny change affects your feel for the game and when you played 3.9 for 10 years it is almost too hard to adjust.

I actually talked about this on IRC. I figured that some people end up attached to 3.9 because it was the only stable version and now that there's a new one that actually is better people are going to say "but... but..."

People still use XP for the same reason. (Also because Vista and 7 suck >:( NEVER CHANGING)

Just played through some songs and pressed all the notes to the beat of the music and got all great/goods and misses and failed the song halfway through.

There is something seriously wrong with this. Changing the global sync doesn't seem to affect anything. It's like the arrow receptors are just in the wrong place.

Edit: How do I add speedmods?

Nvm, figured it out. Also in appdata.

Try getting used to it? Or you can set your default mods to XX% centered (I don't know how it is in 3.9, haven't played it in 3 years) to try to get it in the right place (Dafeualt mods is in preferences.ini). Only problem is unless you implement it in the options menu accessing said menu and going to play a song will remove the mod.

EDIT: Doesn't seem to work. I guess you have to put it in the options menu first. How you do that is something I'm not sure about, but I'll look around a bit and see.

timing should pretty much be universal across all builds. you shouldnt have to get use to the timing of one or another

It is universal. All that's different is the graphics basically.

I just decided to open up sm5 and give it another try. It opened; yay. Then I went to configure my keymap and it just crashes; over and over.

I honestly don't understand why this should even happen.

[Renevatia]

i dont see a problem with either, just that all my stuff is on 3.95 dont feel like the possible trouble of theme conversion issues and any unexpected bugs on 5 when I play fine as is on 3.95.

NEVER MIND





Try either or both of these options. (I don't know how these images are going to act on a fullscreen monitor, tell me if they're breaking shit and I'll just link them)

[dAnceguy117]

oh whoa you can turn on the gameplay footer? hmmmmm. having more scroll space should be a good thing, but some of my scores say otherwise.

pretty sweet that it's an option, regardless.

[Choofers]

How do I get rid of the footer in 3.9

[igotrhythm]

The one thing I can't figure out about the scoring is that there's seemingly five different calculations:

-The letter grade up top
-The ITG dance points
-The MIGS dance points
-The percentage at the bottom
-The machine score

Now how the HELL do I set it to DP-marv, which seems to be the accepted standard for score comparison?
