What does this error mean?

Could not read metric '[Left] TapMineAnimationIsNoteColor' or '[NoteDisplay] TapMineAnimationIsNoteColor' in 'cel'






This is wat happened when i loaded up sm3.95 with groove2.2 and new notskins from i think winduie (not sure if i spelt that name right) but i got to the thae part where i load a song i selected my optoins and then it crashed or does anybody have groove2.4 thay can link me to with itg noteskins??

Download a cel noteskin pack from somewhere else and try again.

Also, you don't need to make 4000 threads.

sorry

OK, what do I do about this error? I'm using sm3.95 and i just downloaded the itgh4x theme. When i go to load the game i get this error. (and i have my 3.95 on drive "F" not "C" if that makes a diff.)

Please tell me if i can fix it or if i need to just download it from somewhere else. I also have teamviewer if anybody wants to help me hands on

um what did you actually do with the theme? you downloaded it in a package or not?
it seems that it is the only theme you have in the SM thus replacing the default theme but without it it won't be able to fallback on the default theme.

if you downloaded the theme in a package (.smzip) just put it in the smzip packages and then change the appearance of your SM in the appropriate options.

btw the theme itself should be in a folder in order to work...

/themes/ITGH4X/ [all the theme folders and files]

----------
EDIT:

I downloaded a zip file from jeffrey's page. unzipped it and copied the folder named default to themes folders of my SM. I renamed it to default2 though as default folder was already present. (then I changed static.ini so it would load default2 theme instead of the arcade one). loaded SM and it works perfectly.

I don't have the original sm3.95 build so I'm not sure if SM uses static.ini or not. but well what I did is just change the theme in the file as I cannot do it in the theme I use. but you should have appearance options available and change it there or in gamepref.ini in stepmanai/data folder.

do this and it should work.

EDIT: crap I hate my internet connection...sending for 15th time this time it has to get through
