StepMania is a free/open source rhythm video game for Windows, Mac, and Linux created by Chris Danford. It was originally developed as a simulator of Konami's popular arcade and console video game series, Dance Dance Revolution, and has since evolved into an extensible rhythm game engine capable of supporting a wide variety of rhythm-based game types.

Post subject:  StepMania: Aspect ratio? What aspect ratio?

options->graphics->aspect ratio (3:4, 1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 16:10, 8:3)
options->graphics->Display Resolution


Here's the graphics options screen:



Where is this "aspect ratio" that is spoken of?

It's what i discoverd that it effect a little bit, so I will look if i could post a screenshot.

All the aspect ratio's are taken from the resolution 1680x1050

The 1:1





The 4:3 (normal)





the 8:3 (dual screen)





The 16:10 (widescreen)





I don't know why somethimes the background is disappear, but you can see on the right side of the pictures that there are bugs with these stars. Those stars appears in the beginning of a song, but should be disapear. You can see that it is by the 16:10 shot that it isn't that bad but on 8:3 it is much worse. If you've got some questions The_cranky_hermit, then i will try to answer them.

Hey Hermit... that's StepMania 3.x those Aspect ratio options are in 4.x which is still currently considered a beta.

Open mouth, insert foot? :lol:

Yes, the third screenshot that P-Storm posted has a big '4' on it, and that tipped me off that the features are in the unstable version.

And I have a tip for you - insulting someone who asks for help with a solution is not a good way to make friends, even if you provide the relevant information first.

No problem. Betas get listed here all the time. It's just a good idea to make it clear you're using a beta when talking about one.

Post subject:  StepMania: 4:3 vs 16:10


1024x768, aspect ratio 4:3


1280x800, aspect ratio 16:10

The overlay elements are centered and scaled correctly, but the background is stretched. The extra horizontal space appears to serve no purpose but to display the stretched background, so I'm going to call this stretched. To be honest, it doesn't seem like there's any way StepMania could benefit from widescreen no matter how it's implemented.
