i'm looking for a more sync version of sakura, does anybody have one???

[Cowman715]

No sorry... But if you want all of my songs I'll glady give them to you.

Secondly... Just wondering but I just downloaded the new version and... it has nothing new... no PPP... Did I do something wrong?

[psmo290]

i dont know, i didn't download it for PPP, i did it for oni courses and marvelouses.

[quadrollersk8r]

Basically you are not going to find major additions to the new releases of stepmania, rather bug fixes.

[psmo290]

yeah, that's all they ever do to new versions

[iamjay]

hopefully the nxt version will consist of multiplayer

[psmo290]

are you talking about 2 person multiplayer or 4 or more cause i think stepmania already have 2 person multiplayer, i did it b4

Multiplayer support sounds fantastic.

But I'm still a DWI fan.

Too bad Stepmania won't run on my Voodoo3 card.

[cnlohr]

What's the last version youve tried. They said they fixed a voodoo problem in alpha 15 I think

[psmo290]

ok, i got the smlan19d and i played with my bro over lan but when we look at that lanwatch thing, i was player 1 and he was player 3, and there are other players playing with us that we are thinking are robots.

How do i get rid of the robots and make my bro and i just play together with player 1 and 2, everything else works fine

NOTE: If you want to use StepMania Alpha 20, you must use SMLAN Alpha 20. SMLAN Alpha 20 is NOT reverse compatible to SMLAN Alpha 19 or StepMania Alpha 19.

SMLAN was designed for LAN use as well. When you connect, it prelocates two players for your connection.

This makes the first connecttee have both player 1 and 2. Second, 3 and 4.

If you play as player 2, you will show up as player 2. Two people can play on your compy at once, and p1 and p2 will be in SMLAN.

I just got Alpha 18, and yes, it does work now.

I'm still going to be skeptical until it's stable for a few days though.

Too bad I can't port over my DWI scores (almost all songs AAAed, heh).

[Cowman715]

I just have a question before I download this (might be answered when I download it)

Ok... say someone has their perfect window more open in the options menu.... Wouldn't that be a good example of cheating? Do they fix this so people can't cheat?

[GameTechChris]

That's why I don't put much stock into Stepmania scores/screenshots.

With DWI, the most you can loosen it up is 50ms, which is equivalent to Step Judge 4 on SM.

All of my AAAs (hundreds of them, almost all songs from all mixes on Heavy and Challenge) came from DWI.

Stepmania just has cool features. I was playing with Magic Dance last night, and let me tell you, going from 2x Hidden to normal Reverse is damn annoying!
