Hello! going straight to the point: today I decided to (Finally) move on from Stepmania 3.9 to Stepmania 5, but while I was playing, found out some of the noteskins I used in 3.9 couldn't be used in 5, so I decided to go back to 3.9 to check if there was somehing I could copy and paste to 5 to see if it worked. I don't know why, but now when I try to play in 3.9 using one of the noteskins I used to use, it now shows me a warning screen that says: "Actor::HandleCommand: Unrecognized command name 'draworder'." and "Actor::HandleCommand: Wrong number of parameters in command 'draworder,90'. Expected 1 but there are 2." it never happened before I installed 5. What can I do to go back a und use 3.9 as always?

Thanks beforehand for reading, I hope you can help me :c

SM3.9 noteskins are not compatible with SM5. Look for the SM5 ports of those noteskins.

"No."
You shouldn't really stay at 3.9. Please move on to 5 and download another noteskin and theme for it.

@WolfenOmega maybe post the 3.9 noteskins you use and let see if others can make some SM5 ports of them for you.

Sure, but I'll have to learn how to port themes and noteskins to 5 first, I guess...

I know, thing is, when I tried to play again in 3.9 the noteskins gave the error messages I quoted before, I don't have any idea why. (I know it can be the noteskin because if I use the default noteskin it doesn't show that message)

Responding to a problem stemming from moving to SM5 with "move to SM5" is godtier advice

Try to check the noteskin folder and see if there's new file that shouldn't be there in the folder. Usually .lua files as these are not 3.9 Native. SM5 utilizes lua to function, whilst SM3.9 don't. Start from there.

That is because you combined the folders, noteskins and themes from SM3x and SM5x are not compatible, you need to enter into the noteskin folder, sort by dates and delete the most recent files, or the easy way is just reinstall SM3 and just copy/paste your theme and songs.

Just checked again, downloaded more noteskins for 3.9 (besides downloading again the ones I wanted to use), all noteskins except the default ones throw the actor messages :/ this never happened before

Nono, didn't combined anything, but what I did was, out of curiosity, double click the .smzip file of the notes when I saw it got the SM5 icon on it... after that everything burst into confetti...

I still hate this response as much as I did when SM5 first came out. Confused There's so much amazing art poured into the themes and noteskins of 3.9 almost lost to time at this point.

Stick with 3.9 if it does all you need it to do, and it's where your preferred cosmetic add-ons lie. 3.9+ has roll support if you need that.

But yeah. Generally at this point, if you want something to be ported to SM5, you have to take the initiative in learning how to do it yourself. Noteskins should be a pretty easy thing to start learning with, and I encourage doing so! Very Happy

Some DDR AC songs like ACE FOR ACES, CHAOS Terror-Tech Mix, Kanbu de tomatte sugu tokeru ~ kyouki no Udongein and Let's DANCE aROUND!! won't work in 3.9/3.9+ since all used steps timing, which SM5 does.

Have you tried using default theme of SM3.9? I have a gut feeling this is a theme-centric problem rather than noteskin problem.

Sorry taking so long to reply, my job got me away from my pc until today.

Finally what I did was to copy the default noteskin and move the files needed to make the one i needed to that file and replace the base image files, it worked and looked just like before... still don't know what caused the problem to begin with, but SM5 got me scared enough to keep using 3.9 until I lear how to port themes to 5

Anyways, thanks to te people that tried to help! I hope I don't have to bother you any other time soon

No, but to explain better: after I installed SM5, The program changed the icon of the SMPacage.exe icon of the 3.9 version to the SM5 one, I didn't know that until I tried double clicking one of the ".smzip" files (the one with the noteskins Iw as talking about) I had in one folder from the 3.9, smpackage from SM5 runs and SM5 starts... I alt+f4 the game and after realizing what file the program tried to instal in 5 I go back to run 3.9, and I discover the problem I mentioned before.

Anyways, just fixed it by combining files fo the noteskins I wanted to use with the default of 3.9 and that fixed it.

thanks for reading the problem and try to understand!
