A special dual release this time:
1. The mainline stable release of StepMania 5.0.10, with many bug fixes and a few new features. Some of the bug fixes and features relate to compiling for those that compile StepMania from source.
2. An alpha release of StepMania 5.1.0, which has the beginnings of structural changes to StepMania. This is for noteskin and theme authors who want to create or port noteskins or try out the new modifier system.
Make sure you put the right treat in your bag, and have a happy Halloween from the StepMania team!

I just tried 5.1.0 and the start-up loading is very slow, even with both fast load enabled.
Edit: The performance and speed in this build is sluggish.

Can someone explain me how does the new function set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords works? (what are the arguments)

Here's an explanation of how to read Docs/Luadoc/Lua.xml (it's in your Stepmania folder).
You know you're working with a Sprite, so you scroll down to "Sprite" in the list and open it up to see this:
Each of the entries in the section is a function that you can call on a Sprite to do something. The entry is split up into different parts, a return type, the function name, the function arguments, and an explanation of what the function does.
For example, GetAnimationLengthSeconds has "float" return type. That means that it returns a number. So it could be 1.5, or 2.23, or any number at all. So if you do "local anim_length= some_sprite:GetAnimationLengthSeconds()", anim_length will be set to a number.
So we look at the entry for set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords and see this:
set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords( bool use )
If use is true, then the sprite will use the effect clock for texcoordvelocity.
That means that it takes a single boolean argument. "some_sprite:set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords(true)" makes the sprite do exactly what the explanation says. (it's also what the function name says)

Can you upload that In The Groove 3/Autoload song folder for us to try?

That link requests a decryption key, so I think you clipped off more than you should have when copying the link.

5.1.0 alpha is a debug build, and StepMania debug builds in general have very bad performance.

Sure here the song Autoload, remember the error is in the sm 5.1.0 alpha
There's a crash bug in the message that tells you that there is a duplicate chart, which has been fixed in a commit this morning.For that simfile, it's the single-beginner chart that is duplicated. You can edit it by hand to remove the second beginner chart.

About that. I tried to but couldn't. Do I have to make a local value? (like local BPM = get_use_effect_clock_texcoords()?)
Here's what I made.
Quote
LoadActor("1 (stretch).png")..{
OnCommand=function(self)
self:Center():FullScreen()
:zoom(3)
:customtexturerect(0,0,3,3)
:set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords(true)
:texcoordvelocity(effectclock('beat'),0)
end
},
OnCommand=function(self)
self:Center():FullScreen()
:zoom(3)
:customtexturerect(0,0,3,3)
:set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords(true)
:texcoordvelocity(effectclock('beat'),0)
end
},
I've tried local values but still no luck.

texcoordvelocity(effectclock('beat'), 0) or anything like that won't work. You have to set the effectclock separately.

How? (Already tried doing local values defining effectclock('beat') and nope. Also tried to define get_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords but thats just a bool)

You have to use something like :effectclock('beat') in the function chain. effectclock is an Actor function.

You were right. It had to be in the function chain. It works now, the difference between beats per minute is not that noticeable but it works. Thanks.Quote

self:Center():FullScreen()
:zoom(3)
:customtexturerect(0,0,3,3)
:set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords(true)
:texcoordvelocity(0.075,0):effectclock('beat')
end
},
self:Center():FullScreen()

:customtexturerect(0,0,3,3)
:set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords(true)
:texcoordvelocity(0.075,0):effectclock('beat')
end
},
Does the set_use_effect_clock_for_texcoords apply for linear too?

As the function name suggests, it only affects texcoordvelocity, so you'll have to calculate how long tweens should take by some other mechanism.
Also you might be able to get a larger effect by increasing the values that are set in texcoordvelocity. It looks like use_effect_clock_for_texcoords works by using the effect clock to indicate the amount of time that has passed when updating texture coordinates.

There is not a way to change the clock that is used when tweening. Tweens always use the frame delta. The frame delta is the amount of time that the previous frame took to process. (well, mostly. Holding Tab multiplies the frame detla by 4, holding ` divides the frame delta by 4, and using SetUpdateRate on an ActorFrame multiplies the frame delta for actors inside that frame. But most of the time, the frame delta is the same for all actors)Actor stuff being tied to the frame delta is actually something I want to try to change in 5.1. I'd like to take the modifier system I made for the notefield and use something very like it for actors in general. Then actors could do things with guaranteed sync to the music.

Does this also include some modifiers that require filtering notes, like little, nojumps, nofreeze etc.?

Those options function identically in 5.0.x and this current 5.1 alpha.
