Problem with loading banners.

[Prodigy Child]

I have a problem with loading banners in the game. The banner is in the correct folder and all the files are fine. The thing is, when I go to select a song, the banner is the album cover.

I have already tried the following:
- Reloading songs/courses
- Removing the album cover
- Deleting the banner.cache and its corresponding folder

Is there anything I can do to fix this without having to re-download the simfile(s)?

*I have the Stepmania 3.9 build.

Are we talking about a particular song, song group? Or every song you have?

Check the .sm of the affected simfiles. Odds are that the album cover took place of the banner in the .sm, so you just have to manually type in the banner name in its place.

If its all your sims... I'd check a few from each group to see if all are affected the same way. Otherwise, I'm not too sure on how to fix it.

I have all the DDR mixes and only about half the simfiles in each group are affected. But I'll try looking at the .sm file.

Edit: Okay, it seems that the stepfiles are in .dwi format. Is there any line of code that can be used to specify the banner, or is it automatically picked up by Stepmania?

I usually have the word "banner" somewhere in the title of my image so that Stepmania will know how to load it properly. Example: "banner.png"

Brilliant @ whoever didn't write the charts in SM where there is a banner tag.

>.>; You can blame DDR:UK for that. I got these packs a couple years ago.
