Read that CAREFULLY! And you'll know many things.
Simfile creation Tutorial
TougaKiryuu did a nice tutorial on it. And TougaKiryuu is mod so this might be locked ^.^

Using the search function on thread helps alot so click that and click whatever post that started ITG topic and don't be lazy to scroll around or search more topics. Cause the official simfile request is alot of pages and that search thing at the bottom narrows down alot of matches to your liking.

Just a heads up: you're not allowed to discuss ripped ITG sims. Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you got the music and stepfiles by a method besides ripping it from the disc, it's still legal.

Background - 640x480 or higher... Must be a ratio of 4:3 resolution.
Banner - 256x80 is the ideal size, you use 512x160 but it will resize it to 256x80. Just stick 256x80.
CDtitle - any size that is not take up more than 50% of the banner. I suggest max 125x60... I might be wrong

Can be either .png or .jpg are the most commonly used formats. But .png is best with transparent images.

Of course you need photoshop to this... I use Jasc Photoshop Pro 8. But there are others like Adobe and GIMP (which is free) So go google them.

Hey, hey! </delirium>

I did most of the important stuff. Oh, hey, when did Touga become a mod?

[Ix_Adam_xI]

ok, i dont know if im being stupid or i just dont get it. how do you put a cdtitle picture thing to a song? and then if i can figure out how to make a background, how do you apply that to the song?

[Patashu]

1. Put CD title and background in directory with song
2. Start Stepmania, go to options, go to reload songs/courses
3. If you know how to get the right dimensions they'll be used automatically.
