Jak nastavit simulátor Stepmania ?

Pokud jste v DDR a jiných tanečních simulátorech nováčky, tak právě pro vás je tento dokument, zabývající se instalací a nastavením Stepmanie, jednoho z nejrozšířenějších emulátorů pro PC.

Instalace samotné stepmanie:

1. stáhnout z www.stepmania.com odpovídající aktuální instalátor, momentálně je to soubor StepMania-3.9.exe
2. spustit instalaci a držet se pokynů během instalace - zde většinou nenastane žádný problém.
3. Spustit stepmanii - zde nastává první kritický okamžik, pokud se vám stepmanie začne normálně nahrávat, máte vyhráno, pokud vidíte chybovou hlášku o chybějící knihovně msvcp71.dll nebo msvcr71.dll. Je čas tyto součásti stáhnout například z www.dll-files.com. Po stažení tyto soubory nahrajte do adresáře /Program v instalaci stepmanie (implicitně "C.\Program files\Stepmania\Program\"), poté by mělo vše proběhnout bez problémů.

Nastavení v options:

Při výzvě stepmanie "Press Start" stiskněte Enter (jedno který) a uvidíte toto menu. Zde najeďte kurzorovými šipkami na volbu Options a potvrďte enterem.
 

 

Dostanete se do options menu kde budeme postupně procházet jednotlivé položky a nastavovat potřebné proměnnné.
 

 

 

Appearance Options:

Můžeme měnit vzhled stepmanie a jiné spíše kosmetické maličkosti, nám budou stačit tyto:

• Language - english
• Announcer - dle vlastního uvážení, je to takový ten otravný hlas co vám nadává :)
• Theme - je celkový vzhled stepmanie
• Default Noteskin - vzhled šipek
• Instructions - Skip - zobrazení nebo přeskočení instrukcí pro hraní při každém startu hry
• Caution - Skip - zobrazení nebo přeskočení upozornění při každém startu hry
• Song group - all music - ve výběru hudby se bude zobrazovat vše co je v adresáři /Songs, jinak si při každém spuštění vybíráte album
• Translation - romanization - zobrazuje přepis japonských a čínských znaků v názvech songů do nám známé abecedy :)

To jsou volby které je dobré nastavit, ostatní jsou nastaveny tak jak požadujeme :) zde je ukázka jak by to mělo vypadat:
 

 

 

Background Options

Tady lze nastavit chování pozadí songů

• Mode - nastaví se zdroj odkud se budou pozadí přehrávat, případně je lze vypnout, pokud vás ruší.
• Brightness - světlost pozadí
• Danger - blikání obrazovky v případě že máte málo energie, považováno za rušivé, tudíž - hide ;)
• Dancing Characters - tanečníci, pouze v případě že je máte nainstalovány v adresáři /Characters
• Beginner helper - zobrazení obrazovky s návodem :) kdy tlapnou, vyloženě basics
• Random backgrounds - počet použitých náhodně zvolených pozadí z typu určeného v Mode

 

Bookkeeping

v podstatě zobrazuje záznamy kolik jste tlapkali ... nezajímavé :)

Center Image - neotevírat

na některých monitorech je potřeba roztáhnout obraz a vycentrovat ho, k tomu slouží tato volba

Coin Options

Zde přepnete pouze jednu volbu, ostatní se tímto přepnutím vyruší

 

Config Key/Joy Mappings

Nastavení ovládání, šipkami posouváte, enter potvrdíte, stisknete požadovanou klávesu a pokračujete.

• Left(menuleft) - doleva
• Right(menuright) - doprava
• Up(menuup) - dopředu
• Down(Menudown) - dozadu
• Start - start
• Back - select

 

Input Options

Opět přepneme pouze jednu volbu:

• Wheel Speed - fast - pro rychlejší rolování seznamu hudby

 

Gameplay Options

Zde přepneme pouze dvě volby a to:

• Solo Singles - ON - pro centrování šipek na střed obrazovky když člověk hraje sám
• Marvelous timing - Courses only - pro přidání hodnocení marvelous pouze pro speciální případy

 

Graphic Options

Tady nastavíte zobrazení podle vašich představ (*
 

 

 

*) toto je nastavení pro okno stepmanie o rozlišení 800x600, doporučuji spíše fullscreen.

Machine Options

Zde nás opět zajímají jen dvě volby a to:

• Menu timer - off - zruší časový limit výběru v menu
• Default Fail Type - off - i když vám dojde energie, můžete stále hrát song až do konce, bohužel lepší nž FAIL už stejně nedostanete :)

 

 

Sound Options

Zde nastavíte pouze jednu volbu:

• Resampling Quality - High Quality - vysoká kvalita přehrávání

 

Profile Options

Zde je možno spravovat profily pod kterými hrajete, například si vytvořit profil pro hraní na klávesnici, ťapaní na padu, nebo jako zde profil "Pa-R-Ba" (je nastaven pouze pro hráče 1) když je vás více a nechce se vám pořád profily přepínat ;)
 

 

Other Options

Není potřeba nic přenastavovat

Reload Songs/Courses

znovu proskenuje obsah /Songs a /Courses a aktualizuje, bez nutnosti restartovat Stepmanii. Někdy je však rychlejší reset stepmanie.

Test Input

Vyzkoušení funkčnosti kláves, každý řádek znamená jednu klávesu syntaxe: "IDtlačítka (Funkce) (Dedicated Funkce)"
 

 

A nyní máte stepmanii nastavenou tak, jako já ;) ehm, v podstatě je to asi nejlepší nastavení, s minimalizací času okolo a maximalizací času na tlapkání :)

1.0 FAQ Description
--------------------------------------

Although the original Dance Dance Revolution arcade game did not rely much
on unique or creative character designs, the newest titles have grown to include
quite a distinct bunch of personalities. And, with each new version we receive,
the characters are shuffled back and forth (within home and arcade releases of
any particular title). As of this moment, there are a total of thirty-two unique
character personalities in the game. When including variant costumes on these,
there are over fifty character models to choose from. The purpose of this FAQ is
to either introduce or explain the characters to players of the game (veterans
or newbies) and keep an orderly roster list of them all (and besides, before 3rd
Mix was out, the game never even told you the names of these characters).

The "generation one" includes the characters from the first DDR game.
Generation two includes those characters who were new to DDR 2nd Mix. Generation
four, then, obviously includes the characters who were new to DDR 4th Mix. And
so on. The current trend is for each new game to include four new teams (each
with a male and female character) for a total of eight new characters per
generation. For each home console DDR title that is released, the game has
always been sure to include every character from the previous games along with
the new generation. And, characters from previous versions tend to carry over
and be used in the later titles (even in the arcade).

The generations will be listed only as the "newcomers" for each title. They
will be numbered one to eight, according to their naturally selectable order. As
for the selectable character list, for each specific arcade or home console
title, those will be listed in the final section. In this "game title character
select" section, the entire list of selectable character "models" will be listed
for each DDR game (which, in most cases, involves a secondary or third model of
a few key characters). The "master model list" at the end sorts every character
model to appear in any DDR game, alphabetically.

GameFAQs (www.gamefaqs.com) for hosting this FAQ, along with more great
gaming info than most any site out there. Keep up the good work, man. Without
GameFAQs... where would we all go for detailed game help? Sure, lotsa places
have great code archives, and some TRY to keep all the best FAQs. But who
succeeds? Only one, my friend ^_^ Jeff "CJayC" Veasey does an astounding, daily
job of organizing these entries (and he writes his own wonderful FAQs). I must
also give a hearty thanks to Al Amaloo, the maintainer of Videogame Strategies
(vgstrategies.about.com). He has completed perhaps the best and most extensive
archive of codes and tricks (www.gamewinners.com) and written extensive guides
for games that would go otherwise un-covered. And what makes these two men (Jeff
Veasey and Al Amaloo) so special... is that they provide an invaluable service
to the gaming community out of the goodness of their heart. They work hard,
every day, without the help of any major affiliate. Bravo to both of you!

The wonderful patrons of my own message board, the OtherWorlds Shrine
(www.tows.org) which is sometimes the only refuge for the true gamer. Along with
my friend SineSwiper, we keep the shrine alive as a place for gamers to
respectfully speak and get together while online. The friends that I have made
there have meant the world to me, despite how my "real life" sometimes drags me
offline for days at a time. Either way, here's to ya'll... and I won't mention
any names (as there are too many of you to possibly remember them all now. And
you'll kill me if I miss any, hehe). The place has been around for years, and I
guarantee that it will always exist as long as there is an Internet.

The select few of my OFF-line friends who love gaming almost as much as
myself, and keep me inspired to keep on playing. Tacchi, you're as obsessed over
games as me. We've been gaming for well near two decades. We're getting old,
dude. And Crystal, well you can kick most of our sorry arses ^_^ Steffannee...
you introduced me to Will in Rival Schools! Scott, you've been a pal through it
all, despite how you suck at games ^_^ Kathryn, your love and understanding will
always be cherished (yes, call me sappy). And Alex, you've been there since we
were infants, when the NES was only a dream in the semi-near future. Chris,
you're one of my dearest friends (as well as one of the most eerily unique).
Your love for the Butterfly song and the goofy dance you do... will always bring
a smile to my face.

And of course, thanks go out to Lynn and Donna! You two are a few of the
only people who love Pop 'n Music (and Bust a Move of course) as much as I do.
Every time we meet is a cherished moment. And, speaking of music games, I owe a
world of thanks to Malcolm. His friendship has meant a ton to me, and he's one
of those few folks who plays and works hard at ALL the music game series just
like I do (Beatmania, Dance Dance Revolution, Pop 'n Music, Bust a Move, and the
countless other Bemani titles as well). And to the fans of music games,
worldwide, i offer the greatest thanks of all. Our demand is what keeps this
amazing genre of games coming back to us every month.

Konami, Sony, Sega, and all the great companies and people who made the game
possible. Without them, we'd never have been introduced to this wonderous world,
beautiful characters, and a style of gaming that changed our lives. These Bemani
games, like Dance Dance Revolution, are perhaps my favorite genre out there
right now. It gives those folks with a "rhythmical sense" a way to convey that
sense through gaming. And besides, it beats having another cookie-cutter RPG or
fighter to deal with.
