Zaotsu Wrote:[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Hmm. For Stepmania 4.0, is there a way to make it refer to the songs folder that i have for Stepmania 3.9? I don't want to have to copy the songs and waste more HD space.Open up Preferences.ini, find the line that says "AdditionalSongFolders=" (should be right near the top) and put the path to the 3.9 song directory after the =. Example:
Before that, Stepmania 4 just crashes on startup every single time, so gotta figure out why that's happening.[/COLOR]
AdditionalSongFolders=C:\Program Files\StepMania 4.0\Songs
If you're using Stepmania 4 Alpha 4, Preferences.ini is in %appdata%\StepMania 4\Save\. If you're using Stepmania 4.0 CVS, it's in My Documents\StepMania CVS\Save\. If you have a lot of songs, be prepared for a long wait, since it'll have to rebuild the cache.
If you're on Vista or Linux, I think you could also do it by symbolically linking the 4.0 Songs folder to the 3.9.
Oh, and about the crashing on startup: You didn't try to use a 3.9 theme with 4.0, did you? 3.9 themes are incompatible with 4.0.
