Why are people hanging on to 3.9/3.95?
I'd really like to know why people are clinging to the old versions of SM when we have a new one in development that YOU can help shape. Kinda annoys me when the guys working on it get very little feedback and support from the people they're making the game for. The new version has a lot of great new features, plus it is being coded to work perfectly with the new SMO official server, which is being written with SM5 code (if I remembered that correctly).
So I'd like to know, why do you guys still stick with 3.9 or 3.95? Right now, there are only three reasons I've heard of: 1. Scoring. And let's face it, that's hardly a good excuse to not use the new SM5. 2. Stability. I haven't had any weird crashes/glitches, so shouldn't be an issue. 3. Themes. Understandable, but you guys do realize that if no one tries converting them to SM5, you're going to have a limited selection. And for those people who haven't even used it, don't knock it until you try it. |

Re: Why are people hanging on to 3.9/3.95?
I'm forced to use sm5 (other versions won't run in osx lion), but it's really annoying when you want to step something
Also users have to manually tweak configuration files hidden all over the place to actually start playing, and they get no documentations or whatsoever for it, so you are basically screwed if you can't directly ask one of the devs Last edited by leonid; 06-26-2012 at 01:06 PM.. |

car models from decades ago were always good enough to get from point A to point B. wouldn't it suck if leading car companies had shown the same kind of apathy and refused to make improvements?

sm5 is better in nearly every way possible. more stable, more options, better editor, more stats, larger scroll space, more accessibility to pretty much everything you'd want. just infinitely more convenient than 3.9

I just got into using SM5, and I can say it destroys every other version of Stepmania thus far.

Re: Why are people hanging on to 3.9/3.95?
The only reason I even have SM3.9 still is on my Linux laptop where its the only version that sound works properly with
Besides that SM5 all the way, its a much better version than 3.9

Re: Why are people hanging on to 3.9/3.95?
Used sm-ssc until quite recently, but it's pretty similar to sm5. I like both better than the older verisons.
What's wrong with the editor? I like it better than 3.9/3.95. |
