For those of you who don't know, stepmania has this new version out on their home page. And I say it's about time too, 3.0-3.9 has been out for years (months?). It has a really nice theme to it, and it resembles ITG. But since it is an updated version, a lot of the earlier themes won't work with it. If you do have a previous version, then most likely, this one won't replace it. It will be installed as Stepmania CVS. (Originally just Stepmania). If that's the case, just transfer all your songs to the new directory, and uninstall the older one (if you feel like it). An alternative (if you wanna keep the older version) is to find the Stepmania file in the Data folder, and then put the song directory name (with all the songs) after the line "Additionalsongfolders=" I couldn't get it to work this time for some reason, who knows -_-
One of the coolest things about this is that it has a built in network play. The older versions needed other programs, or metrics that you had to find. This makes it so much simpler.
Here's the steps needed in order to play:
1) Go to www.stepmaniaonline.com and register for the forums there. This will be the screenname you use to play online.
2) Create a profile in the profile options (of stepmania) and use the same name you used to register.
3) For best results, turn Even Mode on and turn Fail to Never/Off/whatever it is.
4) Go to network play and connect to smonline.us:24842 (you should get a "connection to smonline succesful"
5) Exit and you're good to go. Be sure to read the little things at the bottom that tell you how to navigate. (Things like... Ctrl+Enter to pick stuff, instead of just enter)
You can join any room, but if you don't have the songs the others have, they wont be able to play, so try to be courteous ;)
I don't play there very often, but my name is "Mechowa." Just a heads up for ya.
