DDR portal tě vítá na serveru českých hráčů Dance Dance Revolution


Co to je a k čemu je program Stepmania ?

Stepmania je volně šiřitelný program pro simulátor pro hry z rodiny DDR a jim podobných. Funguje pod Windows, na Linuxu i na Xbox konzoli.

Domácí stránka programu je www.stepmania.com a zde si ji můžete stáhnout. Na adrese najdete i pár bonusů jako songy, fotky, videa, návody a manuály. Samozřejmě nechybí ani odkazy na další stránky a aktuální informace o vývoji programu. Poslední stabilní verze je 3.9, takže doporučujeme začít s ní.

Samotný program Stepmania (dále jen SM) Vám k hraní stačit nebude, potřebujete písničky. Ty označujeme anglickým slovem "songs" a nahrávají se do adresáře /songs. Více o nich, kde je sehnat, vytvořit a nahrát, najdete pod klíčovým slovem "songs".

Doporučuji program nainstalovat do kořenového adresáře, například X:/DDR. Budete mít k SM rychlejší přístup a spousta malých souborů zabere méně místa.

Další informace, rady, instalaci a řešení problémů s programem najdete v této části našeho fóra .


Jaké adresáře v Stepmanii najdete a co do nich můžete nahrát?

Announcers - Tenhle adresář slouží pro nahrání komentátora, co vám bude "kecat" do hry. Říkat jak dobře nebo špatně potvrzujete šipky, jak velké máte combo, a jaké jsou vaše závěrečné výsledky.
Cache - Adresíř pro cache songů, pro příští rychlejší start aplikace. Pokud budete mít pár tisíc songů, stejně si chvilku počkáte, než se SM spustí.
Characters - Řekněme tanečníci. Jedná se o figurky, co se hýbou a tancují za šipkami a před pozadím. Někdy rozptylují, někdy pobaví.
Data - Adresář pro nastavení a statistiky. Najdete zde jak nastavení programu Stepmania (soubor stepmania.ini), tak vaše statistiky (adresář LocalProfiles) i statistiky celé mašiny, SM (MachineProfile). Můžete se podívat na doporučené nastavení souboru Stepmania.ini, nebo si SM můžete nastavit přímo v programu. Náročnější hráči si v souboru stepmania.ini nastaví JudgeWindow nebo PerfectScore, ale to normální hráče zatěžovat nemusí.
Notekins - Adresář pro uložení grafiky - noteskinů - dalších vzhledů šipek. Oni totiž ani šipky nemusí vypadat pořád stejně. Existuje větší množství těchto noteskinů.
Program - Adresář obsahující knihovny a spouštěcí soubor stepmania.exe
Screenshots - Ve Stepmanii můžete kdykoliv stisknout klávesu PrintScreen, a do tohoto adresáře se uloží jpeg s aktuálnám obrázkem v rozlišení 640x480. Dobré na ukládání obrázků z výsledné obrazovky. Plno lidí takto své výsledky porovnává.
Songs - Hlavní adresář pro hudbu. Sem dáváte všechny songy, které chcete v Stepmanii hrát. V adresáři Songs je další adresář s názvem alba, v něm adresáře s názvy jednotlivých songů a v tomto jsou už jednotlivé soubory (hudba ve formátu MP3, soubor se šipkami zvaný stepchart, případné titulky k hudbě označované jako lyric, animace, pozadí, obrázek songu a autora a podobně). Nemůžete sem tedy nakopírovat vaše oblíbené album s MP3, nemáte u nich vytvořené stepcharty. Buď šipky uděláte sami, nebo si seženete požadovanou hudbu jinde.
Themes - Jiný kabát pro vaší Stepmanii. Jako program Winamp můžete i SM převléci a dát jí jiný vzhled. Neliší se jen barvy, ale může jít o kompletní změnu programu k novému obrazu. Každému vyhovuje něco jiného, každý themes může ukazovat více či méně informací o dané skladbě, o výsledcích a může mít u různé zvukové efekty.
BackgroundEffects, BackgroundTransitions, BGAnimations, RandomMovies ...a podobné adresáře jsou pro videa a efekty k nim. Videa mohou být také přímo v adresáři Songs u hudby.


V Stepmanii můžete používat i klávesové zkratky. Uvádím je zde jen pro úplnost, protože běžnému hráči stačí šipky, enter, a esc. Zde je tedy jejich přehled:

Kdykoliv:

  • F1 = vložení mince
  • F2 = zvonunačtení metrik a textur
  • Alt-Enter = přepnutí do nebo z fullscreenu
  • PrintScreen = vytvoří screenshot obrazovky a uloží jej do adresáře Screenshots
  • Držet Tab = zvýší rychlost hry 4x. Používá se pro rychlejší pohyb v menu a výběru songů
  • Držet Tildu (~) = naopak sníží rychlost hry na 1/4x
  • Držet Tab a Tildu (~) = sníží rychlost na 0x

    V menu:

  • Směrové šipky slouží pro pohyb v menu
  • Enter = Start
  • Escape = zpět

    Ještě před vlastním hraním - attract obrazovka:

  • Left nebo Right = další obrazovka
  • F3 = přepnutí CoinMode

    V hlavním menu:

  • Escape = vrácení o obrazovku zpět

    Během hry:

  • F6 = přepnutí AutoSync módu
  • F7 = přepnutí assist tick (tleskání do rytmu hudby)
  • F8 = přepnutí AutoPlay (počítač hraje sám za vás)
  • F9 = sníží offset
  • F10 = zvýší offset
  • F11 = sníží BPM současného segmentu (držte ALT pro větší citlivost)
  • F12 = zvýší BPM současného segmentu (držte ALT pro větší citlivost)
  • Držet Escape = ukončí hraní

    V editoru:

  • Escape = menu
  • Up/Down = předchozí/další řádka
  • Left/Right = změna kroku
  • 1 až 0 = přidá/smaže notu
  • Enter - nastaví počáteční značku pro označení oblasti
  • Space - nastaví značku pro konec výběru oblasti
  • P - přehrání označené oblasti (pokud není nic označeno, přehraje celý song)
  • R - spustí nahrávání do označené oblasti (pokud není nic označeno, přehraje celý song)

    V menu pro výběr songu:

  • F9 = změna překladu názvů (například pro japonské názvy skladeb)


    Během výběru songu můžete zadat určitou sekvenci kláves a provede se příslušná akce. Tyto sekvence jsou sice závislé na tom, jaký themes používáte, nicméně se autoři snaří dodržet tyto zvyklosti:

    Přepnutí na lehčí úrověň:

  • Easier1=Up,Up
  • Easier2=MenuUp,MenuUp

    Přepnutí na těžší úrověň:

  • Harder1=Down,Down
  • Harder2=MenuDown,MenuDown

    Změna seřazení songů na další způsob:

  • NextSort1=MenuLeft-MenuRight-Start
  • NextSort2=MenuLeft+MenuRight
  • NextSort3=Left-Right-Start
  • NextSort4=Left+Right

    Změna seřazení songů:

  • SortMenu1=Up,Down,Up,Down
  • SortMenu2=MenuUp,MenuDown,MenuUp,MenuDown

    Modifikace songu (udělá obvykle hru težší):

  • Mirror=Up,Left,Right,Left,Right
  • Left=Up,Down,Right,Left
  • Right=Up,Down,Left,Right
  • Shuffle=Down,Up,Down,Up
  • SuperShuffle=Down,Up,Left,Right

    Změna rychlosti šipek:

  • NextScrollSpeed=Up,Left,Down,Left,Up
  • PreviousScrollSpeed=Down,Right,Up,Right,Down

    Další modifikace:

  • NextAccel=Left,Right,Down,Up
  • NextEffect=Left,Down,Right
  • NextAppearance=Left,Up,Right
  • Reverse=Down,Left,Right,Left,Right
  • HoldNotes=Right,Left,Down,Up

    Zrušení všech modifikací:

  • CancelAll=Left,Right,Left,Right,Left,Right,Left,Right

    Změna astavení Stepmanie:

  • NextTheme=Left,Left,Left,Right,Right,Right,Left,Right
  • NextTheme2=MenuLeft,MenuLeft,MenuLeft,MenuRight,MenuRight,MenuRight,MenuLeft,MenuRight
  • NextAnnouncer=Left,Left,Right,Right,Left,Left,Right,Right
  • NextAnnouncer2=MenuLeft,MenuLeft,MenuRight,MenuRight,MenuLeft,MenuLeft,MenuRight,MenuRight
  • NextGame=Left,Right,Left,Left,Right,Right,Left,Right
  • NextGame2=MenuLeft,MenuRight,MenuLeft,MenuLeft,MenuRight,MenuRight,MenuLeft,MenuRight
  • NextBannerGroup=MenuUp,MenuRight,MenuRight
  • NextBannerGroup2=MenuUp,MenuDown,MenuUp,MenuDown

    DDR MAX
    North American Version
    FAQ Version 0.95
    Written By: Knight of Fire

    =============================================================


    ====================================
    ii) Revision History DDR_002
    ====================================

    November 8th, 2002

    0.95 - Well, I added a few more unlocks, more edit mode stuff and I'm near
    completion. Changed a few stuff around, that's about it.

    October 31st, 2002

    0.91 - Well added a few unlocks, almost near completion. Also, for the
    average Joe, this is not a DDR MAX (Japanese) FAQ, but for the North
    American version, as stated at the top of my FAQ. I'll probably do a
    what's the difference between the two section.

    October 29th, 2002
    0.90 - Well, I'm near completion, thanks to DDR Freak posting the official
    songlist today with the Oni courses ^.^ I just need to do some stuff on
    edit mode and stuff like that, then I think I'll be almost done, just need
    the game for the full unlock sequence.

    October 25th, 2002
    0.75 - Well a few days before the game ships out to the stores and I'm here
    updating the FAQ once again. It seems that we're now getting ONI MODE! YAY!
    Other than that, I'm just tinkering around with the song list, I'll finish
    that once I have a confirmed full songlist posted somewhere like DDRFreak.

    October 2nd, 2002
    0.5 - Whee! Well this is my first FAQ, I felt kinda bored so I decided to
    try a hand at writing a Dance Dance Revolution FAQ, and since DDR MAX is
    coming out in a month or so, might as well start. I'll probably be adding
    the basic stuff for now, I'll hopefully have a partial song list available
    as well since Konami has already posted a few songs which will indeed be on
    DDR MAX.

    ================================
    1) What is DDR? DDR_004
    ================================

    Dance Dance Revolution, is a music game where you use your feet to play.
    The game is quite hard at first, but once you get the hang of it, will
    get easier. You have 4 arrows, up, down, left and right which represent
    the control pad of your controller. Yes, you can play DDR on a controller
    but going out to purchase a pad is a wise investment if you want to
    experience the full fun factor of the game.

    ================================
    2) How to Play DDR_005
    ================================

    To play, you must first select your song, but I will cover that later on
    in the FAQ in the Game Modes section. Once you have selected your song,
    you will see a bar up at the top of the screen, that represents your
    "health". Once your bar is empty, you fail the song. Below that are four
    stationary arrows. Once the song begins, arrows will start to scroll up
    the screen. Once the moving arrows nears the stationary arrows, get
    ready to move your feet to hit the arrow, to get a Perfect, you must hit
    the arrow as it overlaps the stationary arrow. Sounds hard, but it really
    isn't. Some problems new players have is that they step on the arrow as
    it passes the stationary arrow, which causes them to get a Good, Boo or
    Miss. Having a good sense of rhythm is a key to becoming a better player
    in DDR. Even if you don't have a good sense of rhyhtm, try different
    techniques which will allow you to try and stay on beat, like counting
    1,2,3,4 along to the beat of the music. (It helped me when I first
    started out ^_^)

    ================================
    3) Game Modes DDR_006
    ================================

    **************************
    Game Mode DDR_007
    **************************

    This is the main section of DDR MAX where you will most certainly be playing
    on. When you select this option from the main menu, you will be taken to the
    Select Play Mode screen where you are given a choice of playing your usual
    Single (One Player), Versus (2 Player) or Double (1 player playing on both
    dance pads). After there, you will be asked to Select Difficulty (Light,
    Standard, Heavy and Oni). You can access Oni Mode by pressing right one more
    time after the selection arrow is highlighted over Heavy mode. You can still
    go from any mode while selecting a song to play, but this is primarily there
    as a way to lessen your time hitting the down arrow on your dance mat. As you
    may have noticed there are no more Character Selection screens, that is
    talked about later on in the FAQ.

    After all that is completed, you are taken to the Song Selection screen. There,
    scroll through the song list using the left or right arrows. When you find the
    song you wish to play, press the X button. If you want to have a little more fun,
    hold down X to go to the Modifier Screen.

    On the Song Selection screen, if you wish to go from one mode to the next, just
    hit the up or down arrow, in which way you want the difficulty to go, up being
    easier and down being harder.

    There you can adjust the speed of which the arrows scroll, to playing on Reverse
    mode where the arrows scroll from up to down, just like in Beatmania. To tinker
    with your modifiers, scroll left to right to select the modifier on that row.
    To change rows, hit the X button, to go back, press the Triangle button. When
    you're satisfied with all your modifers, go to Exit and then have fun playing! =)

    After the song, hoping that you'll pass the song, you will be taken to the score
    section of the game, and it will show you how many perfects, greats, goods, almost,
    boos and Ok's you've got in that song. The more perfects you get, the higher your
    grade will be. You can have a maximum total score of 50 million in one song.
    Grades can vary from AAA to E and Bonus is calculated by two methods:

    - Maximum combo in the song and the total OK's for the freeze steps
    - How well you perform in the 5 different attributes (Voltage, stream, chaos, air
    and freeze)

    To find your rank, each song is given a certain amount of 'Dance Points'. It is
    calculated by finding out the number of Normal arrows in the song, multiplied by
    two. Then take the number of freeze steps and multiply it by 6. Then add those
    two values up to give your max total score. The equation for this is:

    (2 * Amount of Normal Arrows) + (6 * Amount of Freeze Arrows)

    To figure out how many dance points you've received, use this little info guide
    below.

    Perfect = 2 points
    Great = 1 points
    Good = 0 points
    Almost = -4 points
    Boo = -8 points
    OK (Successful Freeze step) = 6 points
    NG (Unsuccessful Freeze step) = 0 points

    Your grade rank will be determined by how many dance points you accumulate based
    on the amount of Dance Points achieved over the maximum total score.
    (Amount of Dance Points) / (Maximum Total Score) = Your rank (must be equal to or
    higher than the percentage listed below)

    The grades are divided up into:

    AAA - 100%
    AA - 93% to 100%
    A - 80% to 93%
    B - 60% to 80%
    C - 60% to 45%
    D - Less than 45%
    E - Failed

    ********************************
    Workout Mode DDR_008
    ********************************

    *coming soon*

    ********************************
    Training Mode DDR_009
    ********************************

    Training mode is where you get to brush up on your DDR skills without a fear of
    failing the song in the middle (yea, you could always turn autofail off in the
    main game). The Menu sort of looks like this below:


    Music Select
    Player: Single, Versus, Double
    Difficulty: Light, Standard, Heavy
    Speed: 1-5, 1 being the slowest and 5 which is at default speed
    Assist:2. Metronome
    3. Song + metronome
    4. Arrow Clap
    5. Song + arrow clap
    6. Metronome + arrow clap
    7. Everything

    Metronome is when a tick sound is heard after every measure of the song.
    Arrow clap is when there is a clapping sound on every arrow. Which helps
    in perfect attack. (credits to soulgenesis)

    Select Option:

    Speed Modifier: 1x, 2x, 3x, 5x or 8x speed
    Boost: On or Off

    representation on how hard a song is according to 5 attributes: Voltage,
    Stream, Chaos, Air and Freeze.

    Voltage - Density of the steps at its peak in the song
    Air - Amount of jumps in the song
    Chaos - Irregularity of steps
    Freeze - Number of freeze steps
    Stream - Overall density of the steps

    ***********************************
    New Game Modifiers DDR_017
    ***********************************

    To access the Game Modifier screen, highlight the song you want to play, then
    hold down the X or O button.

    In DDR MAX, you have the ablility to tinker around with the speed of how fast
    the arrows scroll up your screen. In DDR MAX, you have an option of 1x, 1.5x, 2x,
    3x, 5x and 8x the normal speed.

    You can now also play with the DDR Solo 6 panel arrows as well. If you aren't
    familiar with 6 panel, the extra two panels are located beside the up arrow, one
    going up and to the left and the other going up to the right.

    If you're up for a challenge, try playing songs on Reverse mode! It's quite the
    shock if your not used to the arrows scrolling from the top to the bottom. The
    last two rows of modifiers are if you want to play with Freeze arrows and which
    difficulty you want to play on, if you made a mistake.

    *************************
    Freeze Arrows DDR_018
    *************************

    These are a new type of arrows presented in the MAX series. The freeze
    arrows add a whole new challenge for players, where you have to hold
    down the arrows as they scroll. These freeze arrows will give a player
    an OK if succesful, if not, a mark of N.G. is given.

    **************************************
    Wahhooo!!!! Oni Mode! DDR_019
    **************************************

    Oni mode is originally a new mode in DDR MAX 2, but KoA (Konami of
    America) was pretty good and decided to give us some DDR MAX 2 stuff on
    the US release of DDR MAX. Oni Mode is a variation of DDR 3rd Mix's
    Nonstop Challenge where you have a set number of songs and you try and
    passing it. This time, you only have 4 lives and with every Good, Almost,
    Boo, or N.G grade, you lose a life. Once you have 0, game over for you. So
    in essence, you have to try and full combo each and every song to the best
    to your potential. Though some courses will give you back some lives, it
    just depends on the difficulty of the song. To access Oni mode, press right
    one more time after the selection arrow is highlighted over Heavy mode.

    **************************************
    Where's Emi and Rage!?! DDR_020
    **************************************

    As you may have noticed in Game Mode, you don't get to select a character
    to play as. They are replaced by the FMV videos where you get to see your
    favourite characters dance along in the video.

    ********************************
    OMG! EXTRA STAGE!!! DDR_021
    ********************************

    If you're good enough, as you play DDR on Game Mode, as your final stage
    you get a grade of AA (or higher) while hitting 85% of the steps with
    PERFECT. You can also get MAX 300 by get 90% PERFECTS if you don't full
    combo the stage. In order to get Candy, the second extra stage, you must
    pass MAX 300 with an AA rating.
