Stepmania tech help & Simfile links

[TougaKiryuu]

Ok, to clean up the stickies a bit, I made a thread specifically for having links to the tutorials:

This thread will teach you anything you need to know about making crs files such as nonstops, onis, or ItG based courses:

CRS file basics

This thread is for learning how to make those awesome simfiles that you play, pretty explanitory:

Simfile creation Tutorial

If you're looking for help on LRC files, check here:

How to create a properly running LRC file for StepMania.

If you wanna be a cool kid and build a stepmania machine, here's how to do it curtousy of Anthony:

HOWTO: Build a Stepmania Machine

If you have NO IDEA what all of this is for, here's a link to things for DDR Simulators and what they're used for and can do:

Dance Dance Revolution Simulators

If you're having technical problems with your simulator, check here to see if you can get help with your problem:

Stepmania Tech Problems


If you're looking for a specific file, you'll want to go to one of these three links; if you're looking for ItG or DDR officials, use the first link, for user created files, the second, and for the japanese mixes.. the third one:

Official DDR/ITG Simfile Requests
Original Usermade Simfile Requests
Japanese Stepmania fanmixes

..or if you're looking for background videos for said sims, use this thread:

[straightedge]

i need a supenova pack with basically all of the songs

does any one know of a site where i can download them in a pack?

[TougaKiryuu]

this isn't a requst board, and also you didn't read this did you?

[RODD]

Is there a place where I can get ITG background vids for StepMania 3.9?

[RODD]

...excuse the double post

and also, is there a way I can place background pics for a song w/no bg pic?

[RichardCozODST]

I'm trying to implement mods in a course, like what ITG and ITG2 had. Can someone make an example or some kind?

[Nobbzii]

Anyone have any working links for the Bg videos? Rapidshare doesnt work it always says im downloading when Im not, and the torrent has no seeders and the direct download has been deleted! So does anyone have a working link or could seed the torrent?

When I say the bg videos i mean SM and DWI BG vids thread them ones!

Thanks

I have a question. I made a simfile and somehow I created 2 light difficulties for the song in the select menu. How do I take one off?

[DracoOfZeradaith]

I ... am completely boggled by this. It never fails. I'll be in Stepmania, heading through the song wheel or in the middle of a song when all of a sudden my monitor will shut off and the music will stop. And it won't come back on until I shut off my computer and restart it via the power button. I can't think for the life of me that it would be Stepmania causing this, but it doesn't do it any other time, only when I'm playing the game.

Has anyone else had anything like this happen to them?

Thanks for your help ahead of time.

I put together a huge guide for getting, configuring, and enabling Stepmania to play online. If you want, I could put together a thread that explains all of this. The entire guidr can be found here along with other small guides, such as making a simfile playable on ITG Machines and whatnot.

SMO Ultimate Guide

We also have two extensive simfile threads, with links to other places that contain many simfiles.
