I want to try to port the default 4.0 CVS noteskins to 5.1 (the noteskins still work on 5.0 with the only difference being a faster animation that goes with the beat). Bold noteskin falls back to the default for hold graphics.

http://www.staiain.net/StepMania/Noteskins/other/4.0/bold.rar

To use these on 5.0, rename the default to "sm4" or something and for bold, change the fallback noteskin from default to the renamed SM4 default noteskin.

I know I can port existing 3.9 noteskins to 5.0 by using another as a base and changing up the images. But how do I port to 5.1? I don't really know how the 5.1 noteskin system works...

"I'm honestly pissed off."
SM4 default for 5.1
Needs the actual mine and mine explosion graphics.
silenttype01: Kyzentun is never harsh. He says it how it is.

GENERATION 24: The first time you see this, copy it into your sig on any forum and add 1 to the generation. Social experiment.

I know how to do holds (put the hold and hold end in one graphic) but do I need to make the hold longer?

Mine and mine explosion graphics? 5.0 has the 4.0 alpha ones. But for the CVS ones I have to uninstall SM and extract the images from there. How can I get 2 SM versions installed at the same time?

Just make em portable, create a portable.ini file in the Stepmania folder and copy or move it where you need it, uninstall/install the other versions that you need and repeat the process. I have 4 different SM5 versions to test using this method.

No, 5.0 noteskins don't work on 5.1 because there's a new noteskin system. What I'm trying to do is port my noteskins to 5.1, not copy 5.0 noteskins to another build.

Thanks, I will use this as a base to port bold, which was one of my favorite noteskins from the SM4 era.

I added mine graphics and lifts, and ported bold.

Original mine graphics and lifts ripped from SM4 CVS 2008-01-03

Now, trying to add a 192nd color, but when I add it the arrows appear cut off/broken.
