The .CRS File

[captainjack360]

Does anyone know where to get a download of an empty .CRS file? I'm trying to make a course.

[TougaKiryuu]

just open up notepad and hit save as and click the dropbox and make it all files and just type coursename.crs and your all done ^_^

[Ben Speirs]

Copy and paste this into a notepad:

#COURSE:
#DISPLAYCOURSE:
#LIVES:
#COMBOMODE:
#SONG:

If your not doing an Oni course, delete the lines #LIVES and #COMBOMODE.

Then just fill in the blanks, example:

#COURSE:By will-i-am
#DISPLAYCOURSE:By will-i-am
#LIVES:4
#COMBOMODE:1
#SONG:Dancing Stage Ultimix/FURUHATA'S THEME:MANIAC:2x,planted
#SONG:Dancing Stage Ultimix/WA:MANIAC:sudden,brake,skippy
#SONG:Dancing Stage Ultimix/Young Forever:MANIAC:hidden,brake,big
#SONG:Dancing Stage Ultimix/Will I (LONG):MANIAC:dizzy,shuffle,planted
#SONG:Dancing Stage Ultimix/Jelly Kiss (Midihead's Smack Mix):SMANIAC:2x,reverse
#SONG:Dancing Stage Ultimix/SOMETHING WONDERFUL:MANIAC:reverse,C400,brake,dark

Mods go at the end, and MUST be commered between each one.

Rememver when you Save As, write it as the course name and at the end you MUST put .CRS or else you will fail :D

Anyway, you can also find information about the .crs file format straight from the horse's mouth, the StepMania wiki. Here's the link: http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/The_.CRS_File_Format

What does the #COMBOMODE line do? it isn't mentioned in the SM Wiki

[eepiccolo]

#COMBOMODE sets whether a jump counts as one or two towards your combo count. So for #COMBOMODE:1, a jump will only count as one toward your combo, as in the pre-MAX and post-Extreme JP games. For #COMBOMODE:2, a jump counts as two towards your combo, as in the MAX 1 and 2, and Extreme JP games.

On a slightly related subject, there's another variable that sets the minimum step judgement to count toward your combo, which is the #COMBO varible. For instance, if you have the line #COMBO:PERFECT in your course, only steps that are perfect or better will increment the combo count.
