What you're using

GAMESTATE:GetGameSeed()

Always returns 8365 on the first game after starting the program.

Expected behavior

Seed is will be different every time you "Game Start", and remain the same until "Game Over". E.g. when you return to song selection between songs, the seed can be used to produce a consistent random sequence for that game, but each game will have a different seed.

Using Stepmania-Outfox_Alpha-4.6-amd64-date-20200711 (on Linux).

Steps to reproduce:

1. Start from Outfox main menu
2. Press start (Game Start)
3. Press enter to validate caution screen.
4. Press enter a second time, before the caution screen fades to black entirely. The timing is a bit strict.
5. => profile select is softlocked. Up/down arrows to select a profile don't do anything. At that point, if you press ESC once you take control back

I have recorded a short video, but since I didn't include an input overlay, it doesn't show much, except the fact I have to press ESC once too much: https://youtu.be/Hwm-oaEqVFk

(ps. I'm Kaede on Discord btw)

What you're using

I switched the HideNote Judgement option to "TNS_W3" and none of the arrows disappeared, even when hit with a Fantastic judgement. I looked in Save>Preferences.ini and found that the HideNote option in the .ini read "TNS_PRO_W3" while the game said "TNS_W3".

Expected behavior

The timing was intended to make the note disappear after attaining a Great judgement.

(Sorry for bad quality video and low framerate)

What you're using

I am using two toasties in versus mode. Using AppleArcade120's "Mario's a Tire"-Toasty for early triggering at 25.
Video link: https://streamable.com/wfebye

Expected behavior

Each toasty is ment to be triggered by the respective player's combo reaching a certain milestone or multiple of said milestone.

instead

After being activated from reaching the specified combo milestone, the toasty gets triggered on each note until the combo breaks.
if "Iterate=true", it will trigger the other player's toasty on the second multiple of the value in "ShowAt", with the same "trigger on every note" bug.
Either player's toasty randomily is the first to trigger, it doesn't matter which player gets the specified milestone, it will always prioritize one or the other.

What you're using

macOS Catalina Version 10.15.5

Running the Latest Build [5.3 Alpha 4.6] (though I did not get this to function properly otherwise).

Running "Stepmania.app" after giving permissions using "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Stepmania-Outfox-Alpha-4.6.0-MacOS-date-20200711/StepMania.app"

Expected behavior

Outfox ought to recognize USB controller adapter as it does others, but fails to populate "Test Input" menu.

Current behavior

Terminal debug window displays message acknowledging USB controller connect; also does not recognize button inputs in Mapping Menu / Test Input Menus. Debug window outputs message when controller is plugged in:

"OutFox Engine (SDL Input Debug) - Joystick Added For Mapping 02 (DragonRise Inc. Generic USB Joystick )"

My USB controller (Reyann Zero Delay Arcade USB Encoder https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UUROWWK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

Program Registers / accepts inputs from other USB joysticks fine; other programs recognize input from "Reyann" Controller fine (why i figured this qualified as a bug and not a tech support issue).

This is my first bug - forgive me if I need to make some sort of correction in reporting etiquette / standards.

Here is the source. Used for custom themes.

OutFox 5.3 reliably crashes every time before any arrows arrive. Other songs work great.

Using https://objects-us-east-1.dream.io/outfox/Windows/StepMania-5.3-Outfox-Alpha-4.6RC2-date-20200623.exe release

Using Fitness Mode, extended on default Outfox theme

I expect 4 random songs to be selected; instead, Outfox is alternating between the same 2 songs
I also created a workout playlist with 20 random songs from a specific group and the results were the same

Hello!
I'd like it if you added a mod list like this to the game. It would also be cool if it supported .sm mods, not only .crs mods.

Would be great to have a 1st party module to display a live chart preview. The above image is a concept, not a currently working prototype in SM5.1 .

Is there a chart parser implemented as a module in OutFox (yet)? I'm not experienced enough to completely code this myself, but I can absolutely help with implementation and theme-side assets.

Specifics:
-play chart preview in sync with song preview
-arrows display as if on autoplay (holds/rolls/lifts trigger properly)
-show where in the song by displaying an indicator on the NPS graph (a white line, at the exact moment in the preview atop a greyed portion from the beginning to the end of the song preview?)
-NPS graph scrolls/zooms in the case of long songs
-respects noteskin changes
-respects direction changes ("reverse"?)
-respects note modifiers? (dizzy, mini, flipped, no-mines, no jumps, etc)

When entering to Extra Options Menu when selecting a song/course in Extended/Courses Mode.
After scrolling through the bottom to go to the next screen for any of the options of

Gameplay / Main Option / Additional Options / Effects / Return Music Selection Menu.

Just crashed... But pressing ESC key doesn't... haha~!

How to reproduce

1° Start the game with one theme, in my case, I'm using DanceDanceRevolution XX -STARLiGHT-
2° Switch to another theme.

----------- Mini-issue -----------
When going from DanceDanceRevolution XX -STARLiGHT- to SoundWaves, the starlight theme music still plays after the change until you get to the title screen.
----------- Mini-issue -----------

3° Trigger an error that can be handled
4° See the old theme icon in the error window

Video example: https://youtu.be/LqmOO8CuRtQ

At 0:09 you can see the mini-issue, at 0:36 you can see the main issue.

Only the bottomost layer is rendered, the second layer is missing.

Some observations

• When the BMS is cached by the game, it adds the first layer to the .ssc #BGCHANGES and discards the second layer.
• ScreenGameplay also need some changes to add the second BGA layer.

Sometimes have issues with my headphones not connecting back up to the computer after being away from it. Pulling the dongle and reinserting it is the usual fix. Also made Stepmania instantly crash.
log.txt

What you're using

Stepmania 4.6 OF (with backers special symbols build git-2b972eef18)

Right now we have 2 ways to enable "Hide Judgment" mod.

The first one being by going into Song Modifiers screen, going down to "Hide" row and selecting Hide Judgment.

The second one being by going into Song Modifiers > Additional Options, going down to Judgment Items and selecting Hide Judgment.

Inconsistent behavior

The first one disappears, after going back to the menuTitle or exiting the game, even if you have a profile. It doesn't work when playing modfiles

The second one does not disappears after going back to the menuTitle or exiting the game(atleast when you have a profile which is a expected behavior). It works when playing modfiles.

Expected behavior

There should only be one Hide Judgment in Song Modifiers, it should not disappear if you're using a profile and it should work with mods.

Most constant way to reproduce
1° Start the game
2° Go to Options
3° User Experience
4° Appearence Options
5° Select any other language
6° Exit the screen and go to theme options
7° Now you'll see that many lines are still with the strings of the old language.

Solution for now
Restart the game.

Video example
Switching languages: https://youtu.be/-m8t6NmGEC8
Restart to fix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNzvnj_bQpQ

Doing F2 + Shift (reload metrics) before step 7° doesn't not fix the issue.

The theme options screen is not the only affected, both me and Moneko (another translator) have reported more screens with strings not updating, but theme options seems to be the most consistent one.

What you're using

My Czech DDR.cz X-PAD PROFI Version Dance Pad (Red one when you google it) is not automatically recognised as a controller. When I try to map Dance buttons to xbox controller (last option "Map controller"), it is recognised, but when i try to set buttons in controlls it does not recognises all buttons (tipically it recognises only one of this buttons left/right, down/up)

Expected behavior

Automatically recognise of X-PAD PROFI Version Dance Pad. In Stepmania 5.1 and bellow, it was automatically recognised.

seems like licenses only matter for forks that aren't this one

https://i.imgur.com/zMvoiFX.png
I don't believe this for two seconds, first of all :

"The MAD library (included with most Windows binary distributions), and
interface code in RageSoundReader_MP3, is under the GPL, available in
Copying.MAD. Support for this library can be disabled at compile-time."

is still present in your own license file. So I would have to believe that after throwing the enormous shitfit you guys did when our fork had a singular closed component of code running under 1000 lines violating MAD's gpl license, it just happened to slip your mind that it is an issue that you should be dealing with in a good faith way. As if updating the license file due to the mp3 support being the only gpl licensed code, wouldn't be the primary purpose behind replacing the library, and wouldn't be the first thing you did. Doesn't pass the laugh test. Secondly there is no mention post 2018 ("research alternatives") in your dev history relating to mp3s, and looking at the symbols inside the executable_ZN19RageSoundReader_MP319do_mad_frame_decodeEb and _ZN19RageSoundReader_MP313MADLIB_rewindEv still exist as of this current release.

Conveniently for you your fork's entire codebase is still closed after years, and seemingly all your shills who waxed poetic about how 0.01% of a codebase being closed is "destroying development" aren't going to say anything about the blatant hypocrisy. I know you're going to lie about replacing the library. I know you're not going to provide any proof. I know you're going to close this issue without responding.

I'm just calling you out for it.

While I like having noteskins, certain ones appear to pass into other frames they shouldn't. I don't know why, and I can't quite capture a good split-second frame for a visual demonstration of this in dance mode, but it has bugged me since the latest alpha release. I'm sure someone in our Discord must have seen this and noted it. Can someone look into what causes this?

I had skipped installing RC3 until now to verify, but my FPS has dropped from about 59fps to about 31fps in-game with versions 4.6 RC3 and 4.6.0. This does not happen in RC2 or earlier. I also made sure that I am on the latest GPU drivers.

However, I am able to render in ~65-70fps when switching to "OpenGL" from GLAD in 4.6.0

Thank you for all the great work you are doing!

What you're using

This is tested with current in-dev versions, the Tiny modifier, a chart with holds, and a noteskin with a distinct start and end point in the hold body texture.

For this, I used Jousway's Cel3D noteskin, and GPOP's "My Story" chart.

I recall this being an issue since at least StepMania 5.1

Expected behavior

I'd expect the hold body to properly scale the texture so that the bottomcap does not look visibly out of place. I am unsure how this works with the topcap of a hold.

Here's what it does, and notice how the bottomcap's texture doesn't line up with the body in at least 100% and -100% Tiny.

100% Tiny:

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Right now, there's a GetSongBeat, and alongside that, NotITG has a SetSongBeat function. It warps both song and chart position by taking a float which is the beat to warp to. The function can allow for going forward and backward in time.

Describe the solution you'd like

So, implementing this function would be nice, as it could allow for truly endless minigames or having a person complete an objective to continue the song. Considering how beat is grabbed, I'd imagine this would be done through the SongPosition object, with a shortcut function in GAMESTATE, possibly (Though, this might be less doable due to split timing?).

I'm not sure how this will work in the case of split timing, as now the chart can deviate in beats based on difficulty.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Squirrel and the beta testers have experienced frustration relating to this warning to not override certain inputs.

It takes a noticeably long time before one can dismiss the warning.

Describe the solution you'd like

Either set the timer for dismissal lower, or allow for immediate dismissal.

Good night.

Here, we were using the Alpha 4.5.9 version (dated June 15, 2020. Because the administrator was unable to install the 4.6.1, acts like the installer is broken, even downloading various times from the website), and the issue for this case is the following:

We were testing a theme (StepMania Tacvicom Edition v4.0, not finished yet but is perfectly stable in SM 5.1 Beta 2 at its current state) in this current alive laptop, and we found the step field don't show any steps, noteskins, and judgment labels in the How to Play and Demonstration screens (but they appear successfully in the normal gameplay screen).

This current alive laptop use (Acer Aspire 5050 4697):

• AMD Turion 64 (2.20 GHz, 512 Kb L2 cache).
• ATI Radeon Express 1100 using v8.539.100 driver.
• 1 Gb of RAM memory.
• Windows 7 Ultimate SP1.

Thanks!!!

Something in the new notefield positioning code is not correctly compensating for older 480-resolution themes, causing doubles to not be zoomed correctly. This has been reported by other users as well on SL.

1. What you were doing before it crashed and what action made the game to crash.

On Mac OS.
I downloaded the DMG, copied all the files to the Applications folder.
Where I launch the application, I get an error message that says "No Noteskins available."

2. Upload the crashinfo.txt (GameFolder/crashinfo.txt)

None generated

3. Upload the info.txt and log.txt (GameFolder/Logs)

None generated.

Explain how we can reproduce the error

On Mac OS.
I downloaded the DMG, copied all the files to the Applications folder.
Where I launch the application, I get an error message that says "No Noteskins available."

Additional information

The file folders are in the same folder as the app. Not sure if it needs to be in a different folder.

Crash to desktop in the middle of a course during transition between song 9 and 10. Updated to version OF4.6.0-rc3 earlier today. Have completed this exact course dozens of times now and this is the first time to experience a crash. Will note if it happens again the next time or not.

What you're using

Having Caps Lock enabled or disable does not change the input to upperCase. Using Shift does.

Expected behavior

Having Caps Lock enabled should upperCase the input.

How to reproduce

1. Go to Options
2. Select Profiles
3. Select Create Profile
4. Enabled Caps Lock and type something.
5. The input is not in uppercase.

Version: StepMania 5.3 Outfox Alpha date-20200619

Before doing such issue, please make sure you're using the latest version of the game.

What you're using

When I input text in any text field, it ignores the current keyboard layout that I'm using (Dvorak, Colemak, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Bépo, ...) and forces QWERTY. This also breaks entry of any language using any character outside ASCII, including Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, French, Polish, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, Russian, Arabic, ...

Expected behavior

When I press a key, it should enter the corresponding character in the selected keyboard layout.

Related to Issue #13 - Likely caused by the same underlying problem: outdated/limited text input handlers.

Missing folder/files etc...

I was just opening StepMania 5.3 Outfox Alpha Build 5.3.0 then it crashed due to an access violation..

Crash info: crashinfo.txt

Crash Video Zip: CrashVideo.zip

A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Ex. I'm always frustrated when [...]
Sometimes, I need to adjust my global offset, or a song offset, or even a song's bpm. Usually, this involves trial and error, where I adjust the desired setting, play the song, and then readjust.

Idea / Solution:
On the score screen, the game shows a variety of helpful timing data (timing plot, score, etc). It would be cool if this timing data would retroactively adjust when changing the global offset / song offset / song bpm. This way, I could just play a song once, and then I could choose an offset based on the timing data, without needing to replay the song after each adjustment to the offset. That way, I can better evaluate how well a particular offset fits, and make sure files that I create are synced perfectly.

Bug discovered when it caused a crash on shutdown:
crashinfo.txt

What would be really sweet is if Outfox could take microphone input from a wired mic in order to automatically set the machine GlobalOffsetSeconds. Not unlike how Onkyo Audyessy receivers do when configuring speaker volume and delay. This could then automatically "zero-out" the offset timing based on where your dance pad is positioned from your speakers.
if combined with at least the ability to manually adjust for millisecond visual delay based on a reference like https://displaylag.com/display-database/ or one of these things: http://leobodnar.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=212 , one could dial in any setup perfectly every time.

An example of manually getting this value with Audacity
https://manual.audacityteam.org/man/latency_test.html

Maybe you could even call it something cheeky like Outfox Autotune :P

Having hundreds of dot-files/folders in my home directory already, it's not great that Stepmania makes another one for it's configs and data. If there's a seperate folder for 5.3, then it would be nice if it adhered to XDG Base Directory specifications.

For example, data files could go into $XDG_DATA_HOME/stepmania-5.3, but if $XDG_DATA_HOME is not set, it's up to the game to default to $HOME/.local/share/stepmania-5.3, and as a last resort use $HOME/.stepmania-5.3. It might be easiest to just move everything into $XDG_DATA_HOME only and not use $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or the others (exept for $XDG_CACHE_HOME, which shouldn't be any harder to implement), as it seems seperating stuff might cause more trouble than it would help.

There are some issues on stepmania/stepmania about this as well:
stepmania/stepmania#299
stepmania/stepmania#1912

I'm not an expert on this, but it would be a nice addition, although it might be a pain in the butt to implement.

Here are some resources to follow:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Base_Directory
https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html

Thank you for your time.

What you're using

On the latest version of Stepmania 5.3, limiting the game's framerate using VSync in-game or with external tools seems to introduce artifacts in the timing charts on the Simply Love/Soundwaves themes that suggest input polling issues (distinct lines and spikes in the offset graphs, screenshots linked below under each person involved in this).

This issue seems to be mostly hardware/OS independent (as I've confirmed this issue on Win 10/NVidia and Debian/AMD, among other setups other people have reported this on), and seems to not appear on Stepmania 5.1 (also confirmed by myself and others).

In addition to my findings, credit to shockdude, Haley Halcyon, and Mr. ThatKid for also confirming this issue on different setups/songs/themes, and slaugaus for the initial report with my screenshots (see #troubleshooting on the Project Moondance discord for more context/information).

Also thanks to Yumry/Crazy4321/stevereen for helping identify this issue on other discord servers as well.

Expected behavior

Input seems like it shouldn't be tied to the game's framerate, since you'd be able to arbitrarily improve your timing by turning off vsync.

What you're using

SoundWaves theme, both player slots enter to play. Mode selection screen. Single and Solo are grayed out as intended.

Expected behavior

Double should be grayed out like Single and Solo, as it is a 1-player mode.

installed Stepmania 5.3 Alpha 4.6 RC3 and this is the result when it runs:-

Please let me know if there is any more information I can provide that would be helpful.

Hello developers.

I was having the same issue with all the alphas released up today: When I launch OutFox, loads all songs, and when the main window appear, get a crash.

When the Center 1 Player option is toggled ON in settings with the game type set to para, and the user enters 2 Player mode, the note fields for both players (P1 & P2) are overlapped in the center of the screen. This behaviour was not present in the RC1 build from 2020/06/19 and earlier, but is present in RC2 (2020/06/23) and RC3 (2020/07/01). The issue shows up in both the theme my group is working on, as well as the default theme (Soundwaves) or when using different noteskins, so the issue does not appear to be theme or noteskin specific. Screenshots have been provided for reference.

I started the game, went to play selected standard, then in Ben Spears Galaxy I selected the song "I wish" and as soon as the arrows arrive on the screen it crashes. This is a new issue since RC2 with which I had no issues.

Hello, I'd like to report a crash issue when loading an external song folder other than the local one where StepMania 5.3 is installed. The crash log is the following:

StepMania5.3-git-c3092fe12d crash report (build c3092fe12d, 20200531 @ 20:47:04)

Describe how it crashed by giving us those informations:

1. Start playing a song
2. Enter the operator debug menu F3 + F6 + 3 to restart screen gameplay
3. Game crash.

F3+F6+3 Menu song restart crashlog.txt

info.txt

The first menu’s hide judgment appears to be the mod itself, which will be forced off and still show the judge if tested with something that does not act if a forced mod level set happens. The one on the second menu, however, seems to actually counter properly and judges will not show if a forced mod level set occurs.

By FML, I refer to lines of code in gameplay Lua that follow this example:

GAMESTATE:GetPlayerState(pn):SetPlayerOptions(“ModsLevel_Song”,”*9999 2x”)

In Full Bodied, one mod is forced along this example and you should be able to tell the difference in how the judge actor looks between the two hide judgments.

What you're using

Rate and Sound Effect don't seem to be operating correctly.

Expected behavior

I expect one of the options in Sound Effect to proportionally change the pitch with the speed, and the other to try to keep the pitch the same. I'll call the former "LP" (because it is reminiscent of a vinyl record on the wrong RPM), and the latter "Stretch" (because FL Studio calls it that).

I propose for the third option, Off, to select between these two depending on the speed chosen. For smaller differences, LP sounds better; at the expense of different pitch, the waveform is unmodified, making the sound crisp. For extreme rates, Stretch sounds better; LP would make the song sound too muddy or tinny if the pitch were changed too. I propose using LP if 0.7 ≤ Rate ≤ 1.5 (since Pump It Up used to have LP and a rate option between 0.8 and 1.5, and I'd like LP to also be used if Rate is 0.75).

Also, Stepmania 5's time stretching function is grating to the ears, compared to, for example, YouTube's play speed options.

What you're using

Stepmania 5.3 (4.6 OF special build git-555b3668ce)

Go into the Test Input screen and look at what the screen says:

It says that you can use BACK or ENTER to exit the screen, that's not true, you can only use ENTER to exit the screen.

This is also included with most if not all translations since the en.ini itself(which is what translators uses as base to translate content) contains this text.

Expected behavior

The text should only include ENTER or make BACK also exit the screen.

!m_pSoundMusic->IsMusicPlaying() failed assertion occupies the crash reason when using the F3 gameplay restart. Squirrel tells me it’s trying to play a null sound, but now it’s seeming strangely likely to be more than that.

Reported by Daniel Rotwind

The issue comes from the way the notefields are now zoomed, which do not count for y offset after applying this zoom.

In this example, I applied note addition modifiers, then Blender on the left field only. Both use the same base song, note additions, and difficulty (MD13 to Thinking Of You from SPEEDCORE 3), yet the Blender field has notes missing. For example, right away at 0:11, there is a missing note in a jump and a missing 16th not too long after.

The Flawless counter on the top of either side represents the amount of rows with notes of any count (“Single note” jumps are not taken into account, only missing rows can separate the gap.) that have passed at any given time per their side.

Upon seeing 0:11, Kid suspected notes missing in jumps are a double random to the same column, but when I asked him of the 16th after, he had no idea. At least we’re making speculations.

Stepmania 5.3 Alpha 4.6 RC3 with replaced ffmpeg dll on Windows 10
Stepmania 5.3 Alpha 4.6 RC3 as distributed on Linux (Kubuntu)
Hardware is in both cases an ASUS Barebone with Intel Atom CPU and Nvidia iON Graphics.

It is a Noteskin issue (arrows not appearing) on both systems.
When booting the machine and starting the game the first time, often (randomly) the noteskins do not appear.
When I go back to song selection, the problem persists.
However when I go back to the entry screen (top menu in Stepmania) and start the game, there is a big chance the noteskins do appear.
If they do appear, they appear in all songs from that moment on.

This problem persisted for me through all the pre RC (alpha) versions of Stepmania 5.3.
I did not encounter this problem with RC2 on Windows 10.
With Stepmania 5.3 Alpha 4.6 RC3 this problem exists again and on both, Linux (Minimal Kubuntu) and Windows.

Besides that.
Great work and great support !
Thank you very much and I am looking forward to your release in August.

Best regards,

Patrick
