I believe the Dancers/Stages system also ignores the offsets for videos and plays them at beat 0 anyway (if the video is displayed on a stage, that is). A solution I made for this is to use a video editing program to offset the video so that it is more on sync with the music. Or edit the simfile's audio and beat 0 BPM to put the video on sync (usually by adding or deleting milliseconds of measure 0 silence). However, the latter approach often has me insert measure 0 BPMs that are either much higher or much lower than the song's actual starting BPM.
As for the grade score cut-offs, it just might be a StepMania limitation as it still relies on Dance Points/grade percentages. I have gotten borderline low 990,000 scores before and only gotten AA+ instead of AAA for that exact reason.
I’m sure it is a Stepmania limitation but 897k isn’t that low of a AA- but it gave me an A+. 953k is fairly low for AA+, I could see what you’re saying affecting that one. You don’t necessarily need to watch the videos to see it, the thumbnails have the scores.

hello, a query: how can you install the dance stage and the characters in stepmania 5.02 because when I activate them the screen appears black and nothing else appears
You mean 5.0.12, right?The characters go in the Characters folder that is created by default in Stepmania when you install it. The stages, just unzip that to the Stepmania folder where Characters, Songs, Themes, etc. are.
I did that but even so the background continues to appear on a black screen and neither the dancer nor the dancing stage appears

Encisso updated the gitup with the Super-Phase reupload. I'm not sure if that's the same as what was in the previous November Update though.

Hi guys, wait a little more for DanceStages/Characters support, please be patient.
Thank you bud. :D
About this, it is an StepMania issue, because sometimes I got one grade and passing the days I got another one.😅

Ooh, that's a nice update!
Also, in case anyone didn't know, the name of the font used in AC DDR for both the song title and artist in the "INFORMATION" tab, gameplay, and the results screen is Swiss 721 BT Black (used since DDR A). Special thanks to BruskNuke for identifying it!

It's been a hell of a week at work so I'm just now getting to try it out, but the new update is great guys. The new assets look really good, it's just a few updated as SchneiderAFX noted in the details but if you've been using this since the day they released it there is a night and day difference from then to now (and it was already really damn good when it came out). You guys are doing the simfile scene a huge service.

Last updated: 2022-05-06 01:51am
Just did a little testing and everything seems to be working as advertised. Awesome work.
Edit: If you guys are still taking requests, would it be possible to implement extra speed mods like 4.25, 4.75, 5.25, 5.75, etc.? Maybe as a toggle in the theme settings so people who only want arcade accurate mods can have that? Or if you're really feeling generous have the extra speed mods option go in .1 increments.

"Wish I could change my username" |
This update is great! Loving it.
However, I have two issues:
1. All arrow symbols ("←", "↓", "↑", and "→") are wrongly showing up as hiragana for some reason.

2. During gameplay, my speed mod keeps changing up and down, which easily causes me to lose combo due to how distracting it is. This might be an OutFox problem though (the version I use is Alpha date-20220327).

The speed mod changing in gameplay is because you're not using dedicated menu buttons. The menu left and right change your speed mod up and down. If you turn on dedicated menu buttons (home/del/end/pgdn by default as ULDR right above the arrows) you use them to navigate menus and also get to go up and down the song list like in the arcade.

thanks for the report, we're looking into it to see what's happening with the arrows.
also thank you n00b_saib0t for explaining the second point <3
