Continuously failing to hold the indicated direction will decrease the player's health bar significantly, and will continue to deplete until the direction is pressed Successfully completing a hold will generate a green checkmark judgement. If the player releases the hold at any time, the player will instead receive a yellow "!" judgement, regardless if it is being held at the end. Similar to Pump It Up, holds continuously generate combo for the player while being held down and also have the ability to be re-stepped on if the player was to accidentally release the hold before being completed. Players must keep the corresponding direction depressed for the duration of the trail. Holds - Notes that have longer, extended trails following the initial directional indicator.If a player's lifebar empties entirely, scoring will halt and the song will no longer be able to be "passed" for that player, although the game will still continue until a player manually ends the song or the song completes.Īdditional note types are also included with StepManiaX's gameplay. Missing notes will cause a player's lifebar to decrease. Stepping accurately will contribute to the player's life bar, visible on the edge of the screen. Any judgement that is not "PERFECT!!" will show an indicator if the input was registered early or late compared to the intended timing. These, from most accurate to least, are: PERFECT!!, PERFECT, EARLY, LATE, and MISS. Each note judged has multiple "windows" that it can be categorized into. When these scrolling arrows reach the end, the player must step on the corresponding arrows on the dance stage, and the player is given a judgement for their accuracy of the input. During normal gameplay, arrows scroll upwards from the bottom of the screen towards the end of the play area, towards a set of receptor markers on the sides of the arrow lanes. The core gameplay involves players stepping on the panel with their feet to correspond with the scrolling arrows (or "Notes") on-screen once they reach the end of beat lines (horizontal bars that move up the screen). Players can also customize modifiers adjust to their preferred style, such as changing the visual appearance of patterns, how fast patterns appear, background brightness, etc. Players can select between seven different difficulty levels that affect how many inputs are active and the difficulty of patterns displayed. StepManiaX uses five identically sized inputs, arranged similarly to a Directional Pad - Up, Down, Left, Right, and the inclusion of Center. Similar to other stepping or dance-based games, StepManiaX uses a "stage" that the user stands on with certain areas being pressure-sensitive buttons, or "panels". osu support (I think) which can convert to SM, though I’m not sure how good it is.StepManiaX gameplay, showing holds, pits, early perfects, and so forth Another one is probably taking a closer look at the works of ArrowVortex since it has. In SM the ratings are pretty weird (a 3.9 star is converted to 700 something).

One suggestion I have is when converting the difficulties to SM, try to have it scaled to convert the star system into a numbered system, an example being 3.5 stars being read as 350 or 6.47 as 647.

While it does work for many programs, 64-bit can be iffy on older systems like my trusty MacBook Pro 2012.
STEPMANIA BEATMAPS CODE
Think of Wine as Google Translate for computers, it basically translates Windows code into code MacOS/Linux can understand, hence the abbreviation WINE (Wine is not an emulator). It skipped through some of my favourite charts which is sad (like Kattobi Keikyu Rider which has a fixed BPM.) though it converts 7k and 5k to 4k but there’s issues there too since it’s forcing 4k. I’ll have to check again, but because I was lazy and tossed in all my beatmaps including standard (which I don’t play anymore), it must’ve attempted to convert those too.
