How to change your StepMania theme (Zipped files)

[captainleah]

change .smzip file to .zip and open with appropriate software. move theme folder into the "themes" folder like in the video. if nothing changes after selecting theme in options then stepmania can't access the graphics files because the folder permissions aren't allowing it to. I had to manually change the permissions of every folder within each individual theme's folder to "read and write" in order to get it to work.

[StarburstGamer96]

I tried extracting the DDR Extreme theme, and I did that. When I went to the appearance options and changed it, nothing happened.

[FujoshiFTW]

@StarburstGamer96 Same with me. Though I had a different theme.

[Weed193]

I tried to go to my options but my cousin was using stepmania on my laptop and changed it to "Free play, no coins needed" and I cant go to options or anything ¬¬

[mikkomies9]

[TemariNara97]

Every time I tryed it:

Q_Q

[DMNNCCJ]

Thanks for the vid. I REALLY appreciate it.

[MrTeeson]

thnx :D my version is 3.9 and still works lol

[JeiReu]

It downloaded as a smzip FILE instead of an smzip package!

What do I do? I'm scared! 0_o;;;

[mewkitty4897]

I did everything you did and like... nothing changed.. > > I'm trying to using the Cyberiastyle.

[RJFlashCrash]

@mewkitty4897 It sometimes depends on what the theme is compatible with. The theme could only be compatible with SM 3.5 or 4.0.

It could also depend on what StepMania you're using. 3.0? 3.5? 4.0?

Most of the themes there are only compatible with 3.0

[peacemaker406]

Thanks a lot. This video really helped

[firevid90]

[bobgoesw00t]

can someone help me please, i'm trying to make the "cleared" graphic in a ddr supernova 2 theme appear with the crow cheering BEFORE the door closes, and i can't seem to find any info anywhere. I've already asked on the stepmania forums, as well as bemanistyle and no one is really helping me, does anyone know how to do this, or where i can read how?

[haghello]

i know that BUT IT DOESNT AUTO INSTALL FOR ME WHAT SHOULD I DO :(????

[haghello]

it saids SMZIP but i cant make a theme with that cant I?

[RJFlashCrash]

SMZIP makes it so that you can automatically install the theme to StepMania. I kinda hate it because it sometimes screws up.

[missiekoko]

@RJFlashCrash so how would it work if it's a smzip file?

[haghello]

Ok but what if its NOT A ZIP...

[RJFlashCrash]

This only shows IF IT IS.

What kind of file did you encounter? RAR? Or smzip?

[MrJjoosten]

@RJFlashCrash can you plz make a new video they have changed the style and i want to know how to use these darn smzip files

[YuriTakiSuna234]

@RJFlashCrash SMZIP

[alex23324523]

yeah but how do i start it up without no coins? how do i set it back to normal? like when i start the game it says no charge allowed so i cant get to options please help me to put it back to normal

[RJFlashCrash]

Press F3 during the attract screens to change the Coin Mode back to Home.

Additionally, you can get directly to the options menu again at any time by hitting the scroll lock key. This is the "operator button" with the default keyboard mappings.

[alex23324523]

hey your downloading the one that im downloading now
