and also, how do you set auto-fail off? i'd like it at the end of the song lol

[Bozguyon]

@mrCLICKman Fail options are found in the game's options, so you don't need to do any behind-the-scenes tinkering. The choices for it are On, End of Song, and Off.

hmm, i couldn't find it. i guess i'll keep digging for it. it's just kind of annoying seeing it fail right when the bar goes out.

@mrCLICKman I'm sorry that I can't be of more help. I have recently had my laptop rendered useless by my charger not working so I can't directly take a look at the options myself.

Hello I use SM 3.9 on my Mac and I would like to know one thing.

How do I quit Stepmania if it crashes? When I launched it, I wanted to close it but the "esc" button doesn't work. I know I have to go in the menu and select "quit" but what if I can't get acces to that "quit" option?

Also, is there a way to have SM work in a smaller window and not the full screen? I don't like full-screen application I feel trapped if they crash :(

Thanks.

@SanatioDani There are a few things you can do. Firstly with the fullscreen option, there's both an option inside the game options that allows you to have it windowed, and you can edit it in the same way I've editted things on here. At the bottom of the text file will be the "Windowed" option. If it says =1 at the end, it will open windowed, if it says =0 at the end, it will open full screen. This is what you should do if you can access the menu.

@SanatioDani As for crashes, that's a bit more difficult in fullscreen, but Apple+Alt+Esc may help - this shortcut is the Force Quit shortcut that works system-wide for all applications, and it may force Stepmania out of fullscreen. A tip is to click the desktop or any other full-functioning application and THEN do the Force Quit shortcut (Force Quit also found in the top left Apple's dropdown menu). This will make Force Quit appear faster, letting you quit the application.
