Bug fixed where player difficulty meter and/or color inside MusicWheelItem don't update when switching between difficulties ( #1361).The ScreenEdit notefield now scales on themes with internal resolutions higher than 480p.On Linux, StepMania must run as root to save USB profile scores. Preferences are avaliable to specify caps on song file size, the number of songs that can be loaded, and loading timeout length. Songs can be loaded from profiles on USB drives. This is not a problem in the XInput interface since the arrows are registered as a DPad and each arrow is a button.'

'The XBox360 controller driver for windows has a flaw where the DirectInput backwards-compatible driver registers dance pad arrows as a hat and will not allow opposite arrows to be pressed at the same time. The DirectInput handler for Windows now supports XInput. As mentioned earlier, 5.1 remains compatible with themes and noteskins that are compatible with 5.0.12. The previous default theme is still included as part of the base StepMania package under the name 'Legacy', but it will be removed on a future release. Some content, particularly songs utilizing internal BGAnimations and other scripting, may require adaptations in order to render correctly when using high-resolution themes although this issue is not exclusive to 5.1, it has greater prominence because of its use of a high-resolution theme by default.

#Stepmania 5.1 beta 2 480p#

While most themes (including the previous default theme) render at an internal resolution of 480p for positioning actors, Lambda uses 720p. A new noteskin of the same name is also bundled, which is inspired by the visual design of the theme. It features a cleaner visual design with a bold color scheme, a more streamlined layout, and is optimized for high definition resolutions. Player-visible changes: New default themeĪ new high-resolution default theme known as Lambda has been introduced. The Alternate folder preferences can be used to share content such as songs between multiple versions of StepMania. macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/StepMania 5.1/.The user data directory has been changed to reflect the new version number This is the first preview release based on the 5.1-new branch, created as a result of the aforementioned fork. In other words, the previous preview release made under the version number 5.1, '5.1 -3', is actually an alpha build of what is now known as StepMania 5.2 on the Master branch. At the same time, a new iteration of 5.1 was forked from the branch of 5.0, which features enhancements and other internal improvements, whilst aiming to be 'almost entirely compatible' with content designed for 5.0.x, such as themes. Outfox works well for a lot of things but not the A3 theme, which uses SN2 scoring which doesn’t work on Outfox.A decision was made to delay some of the more signifigant changes originally intended for 5.1 to a future release, which will be known as StepMania 5.2 (see here for more details), and is in continued development on the master branch.

5.1-new also works well (and despite what the Outfox team wants to claim here it was last updated in November, not 5 years ago) but you have to compile it from github it isn’t given precompiled releases anymore. Boom, there you go.Īs for which version to use, for this the easiest to get going is ITGmania. Switch to it, go to options then theme (not appearance to change theme, there is a theme section in options for this theme) and switch your background option to dancestages (the other options are randommovies and sncharacters). With everything as it comes by default in the characters folder you extract the characters and dancestages folders from Encisso’s GitHub to your StepMania folder and put the A3 theme in the themes folder. It should all just be drag and drop, I have no idea what you’re talking about with renaming a file because it’s not part of the steps.

The easiest way is to have the most recent characters and stages and the most recent A3. Also the characters and stages have gone through coding changes so which version of the characters you need will correspond to which version of A3 or A20 themes you need.

The theme has to be coded to work with the characters and stages so it really doesn’t matter which default theme you like more unless you’re willing to mod the theme or beg/commission someone to mod it for you.
