Deleting Scores?

[Ben Speirs]

I want to delete all my old scores to test out a new Unlock System I created, but everytime I load it up I have all the requirements met anyway, so I was wondering if anyone can tell me how to delete all my old scores (but if there was a way to keep my old scores and have a blank record please tell me).

Thanks.

Use the reset machine stats in the operator.

Heck, I cant even get SM to save my scores.

Where is that?

I tried deleting the machine/local profiles but it still doesnt work.

[TougaKiryuu]

add this to a theme:


[ScreenOptionsMenu]
Fallback=ScreenOptionsSubmenu
NextScreen=ScreenTitleMenu
PrevScreen=ScreenTitleMenu

LineNames=1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
OptionMenuFlags=together;forceallplayers;smnavigat ion
# This NextScreen is only used for the "exit" choice.
Line1=list,Appearance Options
Line2=list,Background Options
Line3=list,Bookkeeping
Line4=list,Coin Options
Line5=list,Config Key/Joy Mappings
Line6=list,Center Image
Line7=list,Graphic Options
Line8=list,Machine Options
Line9=list,Test Input
Line10=list,Clear Machine Stats


then pull up your operator and wipe that crap out, then remove it from the metrics.

Or make another Stepmania install for testing unlocks.

AFAIK, the simplest way is to clear the cache and delete the stats.xml files. Next time you start SM, they'll be created again.

Go into the Data folder and delete the machine stats folder, and any profile folders you may be using.

I tried out deleted one of my scores on stats.xml on both machine and profile.

and start up my stepmania and the score is gone. So, sometimes you don't need to clear cache.

to simply delete a score just open stats.xml to notepad. Press CTRL + F then type the song folder name of the song (not in .sm or .dwi titles, the song folder name on your song directory.) then you something similar to this:

<Song Dir='Songs/Jubo&apos;s Simfiles/Black Lagoon OP/' >
<Steps StepsType='dance-single' Difficulty='Medium' >
....
</Steps>
</Song>

if you know the rules of html or xml open and closed codes just deleted the ones in between those, including open and close codes (well, if you know, you know right?).

Otherwise, if you don't know... then.

To deleted a song score (total erase score of the song.)

go from this point (click and hold): <Song Dir='Songs/Group Folder Name/Song name/' >

All the codes here

Then (release click hold) to the point that has this:</Song>

- - - -

To deleted a certain difficulty score (like deleting the whole score you played on Heavy, Light, etc..)

go from this point (click and hold): <Steps StepsType='Type of Steps (Single/Solo/Double)' Difficulty='Of course difficulty (Beginner, Easy, etc...)' >

All the codes here

Then (release click hold) to the point that has this:</Steps>

- - - -

You get the point right? It also the same with a certain Highscore you played.
To be more sure it is erase, do this the same to you profile folder.

As always you always save after edit right?
As what people said above, just deleted the stats.xml for good ridiance(sp?).

And do this before starting stepmania...

This is pretty basic if you know the general knowledge of html or xml.

Do I replace it or just add it on?

In the theme metrics you will find a block of text similar to that but won't have the 10th option and may have some others (Reload Songs, Sound Options, etc.).

Just delete that and add this:

oh and I would probably just copy the metrics file from the default theme to another folder in the Themes folder. That way you won't accidently mess up anything.
