One question about SM SSC

Where I put the names of songs which I want to be unlocked???

---

Open up your stepmania folder and search for the following item:

Stepmania → Themes → default → metrics

From there do a search for "Unlock1Song=POP 4" It will take you to the spot of where you would put the songs to unlock.


I'm not entirely sure how to work it, and I'm not even sure if it's the metrics file that handles that, but it's better than no information.

Edits: oops, this sm ssc. I'm not sure if it's the same approach with sm ssc.

I haven't tried this, but I found it in the base.ini file
I assume this is an example on how to set it up

[UnlockManager]
AutoLockChallengeSteps=false
UnlockNames=""
# UnlockNames="1,2"
# The song "Pledge" requires 500 AP.
# Unlock1Command=song,"Pledge";require,"UnlockRequirement_ArcadePoints",500

# The song "ABC" can be unlocked via roulette; pick an arbitrary code
# to use to store the unlock.
# Unlock2Command=song,"ABC";code,"59183751";roulette


you have to change the metrics in the fallback theme

Maybe I should've tried before posting, because I can't seem to get it to work

Well I'm going to make it and later I'm going to tell you.

I've managed to lock songs. I have no idea how the point system works though.

I don`t understand How can I put the code of unlocks songs

---

Open up the metrics in the _fallback theme

ctrl+f unlockmanager and you should find it

here's what I put in to lock these songs

UnlockNames="1,2"
Unlock1Command=song,"BUTTERFLY";require,"UnlockRequirement_ArcadePoints",500
Unlock2Command=song,"321STARS";require,"UnlockRequirement_ArcadePoints",500

I just tried try it, but it doesn't work

Make sure you're pointing to the exact folder name for the song. if there is more than one song with that folder's name using a directory to ensure it's looking at the right one "Dance Dance Revolution 1st\BUTTERFLY" instead of just "BUTTERFLY".

Double check the folder name too, the command is not case-sensitive but if the folder is called "321 STARS" typing "321STARS" will find nothing and it will be ignored.

The arcade points system was from 7thMIX, I don't know how the points are tallied nor if the code is even still a part of StepMania.
Try conditional unlocks like Passing MAX 300 on Expert to unlock CANDY in the songwheel and see if it works then.

Why do you use this smiley EVERYWHERE, it doesn't mean what you think it means.

I don't have doubles of songs, and 321STARS is the name of the folder.
I had no problems locking the songs. But like you said, I have no idea if there's a point system in place at the moment.

I was just curious and wanted to give it a try, and pretty much figured it out. Thanks for going a little more in-depth though.

Well I put this.

Is it the name of DWI, or SM, or the song's folder?

The song's folder

Also remove the ###s or the command will be ignored. Those are examples that's why they are commented out so they do not get read.
