"Finding something to do..."
Is there a way to set the Random Movies to play 1 video at a time each song, sorta like the "NumBackgrounds=1" trick with previous SM versions? I have some DDR characters bg videos I would like to use, so yeah....

Go to save folder/Preferences.ini. Search "NumBackgrounds=10" , change 10 to 1.

Ah thanks, I didn't know where to look to begin with, since I haven't fiddled enough with SM5. Tongue

Someone know how can do the random movie begin when the doors open? because the random movie begin when the first arrow appear , but i want the "random movie" start very "before", almost when the doors open, and also that the "random movies" do not end, or end when the doors close, because the random movie end when the music ends, but i want that the "random movies" end before the doors close.

sorry for my english XD

what i did is to go to stepmania. com and go to the random movies folder download one of the folders..... then it may go to opening stepmania or the file..... if you dont like them, delete them and add the videos you want. remember it shows the video for 5 seconds. IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!.... if you want a full dance video to show, like emi's dancing, only add one video or several videos of that one person and the same stage for it to work.......
check for keyword randommovies....

(choose random movies in stepmania options)

One issue to this is when you change themes, the NumBackgrounds=1 in the Preferences will reset to the default:5.

Place NumBackgrounds=1 in Static.ini, not in Preferences.ini.

Make a copy of Preferences.ini in the same folder, rename the file to Static.ini, open it with notepad, delete everything and add NumBackgrounds=1. Save. Move Static.ini to StepMania5/Data folder.

Hello in stepmania AMX there is a option called "Random bga's start with music" and the description say this :

(Turn this option "on" to start Random BGAs when the music starts rather than when steps finishes), and i want to doing the same , but in sm5, i can doing that ?

Just one question. Can Random Movies be sorted into folders or groups like songs? In the BG Changes at the Edit menu it says:
FILE1 GLOBAL MOVIE
FILE1 GLOBAL MOVIE (GROUP)
FILE1 GLOBAL MOVIE (GROUP + GENRE)

What does each function do and how is it different from each other?

"Just Play Along"
Sorry to bump, but in StepMania 5 how do I make random movies start immediately, rather than at the first arrow of a song?
