SM4 Noteskin help

[gattsta]

I've been trying to add a new noteskin into my stepmania 4, and everytime I try and use it, I get an error message saying [insert file name here].lua, unkown file. (Or something like that)

I can't find a skin and make it work. Could someone possibly send me a skin that they use and see if I could get it to work that way, or someone possibly help me find one that'll work?

[gattsta]

[who_cares973]

sm-ssc doesnt suck tho

[Plan_Bsk81127]

lol I know, was just continuing the chain. lol

ssc's good, but only if you have an average pc like a dual core. It lags and loading screens take too long on my pre-historic PC

to lazy to write a load of shit so I'ma post an irc post from a day or 2 ago

[22:26] <Jousway> also guys if you wonder why I want everyone to switch to ssc, well its mainly because 3.9+ is so limited, like you use an image directly or you use sprite, actor or redir to make it do extras like spin or size chance or act in an other way, the thing with ssc it added a new scripting called lua, and the thing with lua is, lets say you have a receptor, and you want that receptor to use 3 textures and they all act in their own way, well with lua you can do that, the thing with lua is, all the limits we had with older 3.9 noteskins are gone now, we can do everything, its truly an new age of noteskins

if someone makes an easy lowres theme and you put your settings on low it works fine

I don't think StepMania uses more than one core.

[DJMAYYYNE]

oh lol, yeah by dual core I mean a faster PC

actually, it does (as needed).

It only utilizes two cores, I'm sitting on a 6-core pc and I'm robbed of a theoretical 3x performance

Performance does not scale linearly by number of cores in use. There are software/hardware limitations and overhead involved in using them.

There are some things which could make better use of multiple threads, but they are used in the important places.
