UCS.EXT System
You can now create new steps and share only your step with your
friends. This only works if you are using our SongPack (JUMP,
MOBILE,RIO,PRO,PRO2,INFINITY,1STPERFECT,EXTRA-PREX3,EXCEED-
ZERO,NX-NXA,FIESTA,FIESTAEX,FIESTA2,PRIME,PRIME2,XX,STEPPRIME),
once you create the step from the editor, the game will create
a file in the SongTitle folder with an extension file (*.SSC.EXT)
that you can send to your friends. Your friends should also use
our SongPack.

For example:
If you created a Single 15 Cleaner from Fiesta EX based in our
SongPack, the step file (d15.ssc.ext) is located in “Songs/09.
FIESTA EX/1101 – Cleaner/”

Create MusicTrain
Creating MusicTrain list is easier than you think; remember to
follow these steps to make it work properly:

REQUIREMENTS:
-Preview Banner file: Resolution (464x264), PNG/JPEG Format
-Preview Audio File: MP3/WAV/OGG Format, 12 sec length or less
-Preview Video File: MPG/MP4 Format (Optional) Max
Resolution(640x360)
-Our SongPack (Recommended) or the Song Pack that you are
sharing with the current musictrain.

STEPS:
1- Create a folder in MUSICTRAIN folder (The folder name will be
shown in the game)
2- Put your files (Banner,Audio, Video) in this folder
3- Create an INI file called MUSICTRAIN with a suffix in the
MUSICTRAIN folder (IE: musictrain_First.ini). If you dont know
how to create an INI File, open notepad and save the textfile
with ini extension.

MUSICTRAIN_* INI STRUCTURE (open your Musictrain_First.ini):

-Your folder name should be between “[“and “]”, this is the

section that will be read in game (CASE SENSITIVE)
-The key “SONGS” will store every song folder that you want to
show in the Train
-The key “STEPS” will store every step from the songs that you
stored in SONGS key
To add more songs and steps, you should use a comma to split
Create MusicTrain
SONGS must have GroupFolder and the SongFolder to work properly.
IE, if you want to add Desaparecer from XX, then you should
write: 13.XX/16D0 – Desaparecer.
If you are using a custom folder or custom song, then you should
write the path from it.

STEPS must have the step type, meter, and the label from the
step (optional)
For example, if you want to use the Double 23 from Desaparecer,
you should write, D23. If you want to use an UCS, then you
should add D20 UCS

Songs and Steps Lists are sort manually, if the first song value
in SONGS is Latino Virus, then the First value in STEPS must be
a valid step from Latino Virus Song only. Same with the rest of
the songs and steps.

This is the result of the first music train, if everything is

good, you will be able to play it.
Create Quest Channels
Quest channels needs Stepmaking knowledge, and LUA coding if you
want advanced functions.

REQUIREMENTS:
-SSC File (Song and Steps)
-Media Files (Audio, Preview Video, Banner)
First at all, you should create a GroupFolder in Songs, and
create a textfile called quest on it, after that you should crea-
te your songs under this groupfolder:

The game will detect this GroupFolder as Quest because quest.txt

Your steps should have the LabelType based on the Quest: S1, S2,
S3 and S4. They are sorted automatically in game.

the Artist field .
te one, you will always get a “Quest Failed” message at Evaluation
Screen. There are two ways for goal creation: INI and LUA. You can
use them simultaneous or just one.
INI SYSTEM:
You should create an INI file in your SongFolder called: QuestConfig.
ini
(You can also open notepad and save the text file as QuestConfig.ini)

The structure of the INI FILE it’s split-

ted in 4 sections (based on the 4 steps),
S1, S2, S3, S4

Keys available (Always UpperCase):

The Keys are available for everysection,
it means the requeriments to pass the
step quest, you should only add the key
if you want it as requeriment.

FLAG : BREAKOFF and AUTOPLAY values, it means that allow the

goal with breakoff, autoplay or BOTH
PERFECT : How many perfects it requires to pass.
GREAT : How many greats it requires to pass.
GOOD : How many goods it requires to pass.
BAD : How many bads it requires to pass.
MISS : How many misses it requires to pass.
HEART : How many hearts you need to tap to pass.
POTION : How many potions you need to tap to pass.
MINE : How many mines you need to tap to pass.
ITEMS : How many total items you need to tap to pass.
VELOCITY : How many velocity items you need to tap to pass.
HIDDEN : How many hidden taps/items you need to tap to pass.
MISSCOMBO : How much MissCombo you need to do to pass.
MAXCOMBO : How much MaxCombo you need to do to pass.
LIFEBAR : What percentage the lifebar should be at the end of
stage to pass.
SCORE : How many total score you need to have to pass.
GRADE : What Grade you need to do. (SSS,S,S,A,B,C,D,F)
 Most keys allows ‘more (>) or less (<)’ statement.
If you want, for STEP1, get Blue S or less, More than 4 potions, 10
Velocity Items and get less than 65% lifebar. And for STEP2, get
more or equal to 100 Hearts, Grade B, and 0 Greats but the breakoff
is enabled on this. The final result on INI File is:

[S1]
GRADE=S,A,B,C,D,F
POTION=>5
VELOCITY=10
LIFEBAR=<64

[S2]
HEART=>100
GRADE=B
GREAT=0
FLAG=BREAKOFF

[S3]
[S4]

In case you just want a “Survive until the end” requirement, just
leave the Section with no keys (Like S3 and S4 above).

LUA SYSTEM:
This is for advanced users, and in case you want to count ie: noteskins
or count GREAT+PERFECT. First at all, you should create a LUA File
called Goal. In addition, you must have a Foreground Change in your
SSC Song Header redirecting the Goal Lua.

#FGCHANGES:-100.000=Goal.lua=1.000=0=0=1=====,;

The Lua file must contain an ActorFrame and a handle event from Game-
playFinish.

local t = Def.ActorFrame {
GameplayFinishMessageCommand=function(self,params)
local pnStageStats = STATSMAN:GetCurStageStats():GetPlayerStageStats(params.Player);
pnStageStats:SetSuccess(true);
end;
};
return t
Functions available from pnStageStats:

pnStageStats:GetFailedAux();
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_Heart”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_Potion”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_HitMine”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_Velocity”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_Item”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_W1”) <- Perfect
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_W2”) <- Perfect
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_CheckpointHit”); <-Hold

pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(‘TapNoteScore_W3’); <- Great

pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(‘TapNoteScore_W4’); <- Good
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(‘TapNoteScore_W5’); <- Bad
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(‘TapNoteScore_Miss’) <- Miss Tap
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_CheckpointMiss”); <-Miss
Hold

pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_Heart”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_Potion”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_HitMine”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_Velocity”);
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores(“TapNoteScore_Item”);
pnStageStats:MaxCombo();
pnStageStats:MaxMissCombo();
pnStageStats:GetCurrentLife);
pnStageStats:GetScore();
pnStageStats:GetGrade();
pnStageStats:MaxComboSkin(“NOTESKIN”)
pnStageStats:MaxMissComboSkin(“NOTESKIN”)
pnStageStats:GetTapNoteSkin(“NOTESKIN”, ‘TapNoteScore_XXXX’)

‘TapNoteScore_XXXX’ replace XXXX for W1,W2,W3,etc

“NOTESKIN” should be replaced for a noteskin that you set in the char-
t,example : “nxa”. But if you are using, ie: Prime2 as a noteskin from
QUESTMODS, and you want to count them, use “default”.
GetGrade() return:
Grade_Tier1 : SSS
Grade_Tier2 : SS Gold
Grade_Tier3 : S Gold
Grade_Tier4 : A
Grade_Tier5 : B
Grade_Tier6 : C
Grade_Tier7 : D
Grade_Tier8 : F

For example,the requeriments from STEP1 is: Get PERFECT+GOOD+MISS =

100, Get Grade S or More, 10 Heart Items, and for STEP2, count Old Skin
more than 50 Bad and NXA Skin less or equal than 10 Miss .

local t = Def.ActorFrame {
GameplayFinishMessageCommand=function(self,params)
local pnStageStats = STATSMAN:GetCurStageStats():GetPlayerStageStats(params.Player);
local fail = pnStageStats:GetFailedAux();
local iPerfects = pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores("TapNoteScore_W1") + pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores("TapNo-
teScore_W2") + pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores("TapNoteScore_CheckpointHit");
local iHearts = pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores("TapNoteScore_ Heart ") ;
local iGood = pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores("TapNoteScore_W4") ;
local iMiss= pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores('TapNoteScore_Miss') + pnStageStats:GetTapNoteScores("TapNoteS-
core_CheckpointMiss");

local iOld = pnStageStats:GetTapNoteSkin("old", ‘TapNoteScore_W5’);

local iNXA = pnStageStats:GetTapNoteSkin("nxa", ‘TapNoteScore_Miss’) + pnStageStats:GetTapNoteSkin("nxa",
‘TapNoteScore_ CheckpointMiss’);

local Grade = pnStageStats:GetGrade();

if params.Label == "S1" then
local iTotal = iPerfects + iGood + iMiss;
if (iTotal == 100 and (Grade == "GradeTier_3" or Grade == "GradeTier_2” or Grade=="GradeTier_1”)
and iHearts == 10 and not fail) then
pnStageStats:SetSuccess(true);
end;
end;

if params.Label == "S2" then

if (iOld >= 50 and iNXA <= 10 and not fail) then
pnStageStats:SetSuccess(true);
end;
end;
end;
};

If you did everything correct, you should be able to play and get the
quest system working
*.UCS Support
We are now giving support to *.UCS files converting it to our UCS
EXT format. In order to avoid problems you should follow these
steps. Remember that your ucs file will not be edited or deleted by
the game.

Recommended way :
1- Copy your *.ucs file to the song folder that you are looking for.
(Example: Toccata from NX-NXA)

2- Start the game. Once the first load finished, the game will
create a ssc.ext file based on your UCS. The game will now use
the extension ssc file (*.ssc.ext), if its not. Reload Songs from
StepMania Options

3- This is how the game show your step.

4- Open StepPrime Editor, and now you can edit the chart and their
properties. Remember to delete the *.UCS file to avoid overwritten
issues.

WARNING:
- ssc.ext will work properly with a main *.ssc file, because they are just extensions. Even so, you can
use only ssc.ext files and play, but you have been warned.
- You will use this feature under your own responsibility, remember that you can also open this file
with notepad, so go ahead and have fun!
- GhostHold Effect is not supported and will be taken as Hold in the game.
PIUIO Support
StepPrime has an experimental PIUIO driver that you can try. In
order to make it work you should follow these steps:

1- Uninstall IO2Key (In case you have it)

2- Download Zadig from: https://zadig.akeo.ie/
3- Select your correct input device and select “WINUSB Driver”
4- Click “Install Driver”
5- Once you start StepPrime, the game should connect automatically
to the dance

Known Issues: Lights from pad are currently not working properly.
Packing SimFiles
With this feature, you will pack every simfile and important text
files to a SPX File which cannot be edited once is created.
Remember that you still need to share the media files, because the
SPX File will NOT contain audio or image files. This option is
meant to share your work but final users can’t edit and optionally
create custom steps.

Every SPX will be located and created on /UserPackages/ Folder.

Remember that your SPX File will not work properly if media is not
installed.

If you want to share your work, you need to send the SPX file and
the Media Folder only (without simfiles) separately; example:

-SPX File: (UserPackages/My Pack.spx)

-Media Files Only, WITHOUT SIMFILES or TXT, INI Files or LUA:
- /GroupSongs/01 - First Song/Song.mp3
- /GroupSongs/01 - First Song/Banner.png
- /GroupSongs/01 - First Song/PreviewVideo.mpg
- ...

Before creating your SPX File, you should create a file called
PackInfo.ini on the Group Folder
For example : /Songs/MyGroupSongs/PackInfo.ini
[PACK]
NAME=My Group Folder (change it)
AUTHOR=StepPrime (change it)
URL=www.facebook.com/StepPrimeOfficial (change it)
DESCRIPTION=You will see this in list channels description (change it)
UNLOCKED=0 (Use 1 if you want users to access into the Editor to create only
UCS EXT)

PACK, NAME, AUTHOR, URL, DESCRIPTION, UNLOCKED should be always UpperCase.

> Open StepMania Configuration and go to UserPackage View/Creation

> Go the creation Section with arrow keys.
> Select the GroupFolder you are going to Pack
> You will see the information that you put on PackInfo.ini
> Press Center button to Confirm.
> File will be created on /UserPackages/

SPX File will only contains (LUA, SSC, SMA, DWI, KSF, EXT, SM, TXT, INI)
External SongMovies Folder
This feature will give you the option to select an Additional
SongMovies folder, so you can avoid moving/copying files.

1-Close the game

2-Open the file Preferences.ini from Save Folder (You can use
notepad)
3-Find the key SongMoviesPath
4-Add your path as value, example: C:/My Videos/BGAFromPIU
5-You can also add multiple paths; use a comma (“, “) to split
them.
6-Save the file

Remember that these folders are just ‘Additional Song Movies’

Paths, they are not replacing the SongMovies from StepPrime.
Custom Sort in GroupSong
You can now apply a custom sort of your group folder.

1- Create a text file in GroupFolder root path called: Sort.txt

2- Open the file and insert the SongFolder with the sort structure
you want.
3- Save the file and start the game.

Sort.txt File Example:

Final Result

Remember that if you use Sort.txt, category sort are overridden

under this channel, and categories sounds will be muted.

This custom sort will only work under your channel. AllTunes
and categories channels will have their own sort.

PS: Game will not allow folders duplicated, and if folder on

list is not available, it will not shown in game.
