The BG Scripts/Resources Repository

A repository for StepMania BG Scripts and resources for BG Script Creation

Initial video setup instructions:

1. Download the folders of videos from this link. If space is a concern, only download the video sets you need.
2. Put the entire folders into your RandomMovies folder. Do NOT take the videos out of their folders. The final structure needs to be:

StepMania\RandomMovies\[Video Folder]\[Videos]

Script installation instructions:

1. Download the latest version of the simfile from the ZIv website to ensure compatibility.
2. Download one of the .ssc files for the song from this repository.
   • Most songs only have one. If a song has multiple, pick only one.
3. Put the .ssc file in the respective song folder
4. Boot StepMania and try the song.

If everything is done correctly, you should have background animations playing during the song.

A note about the MAX-EXTREME folder

I included a MAX-EXTREME folder for Beware's videos, despite most people putting Beware's videos directly into their RandomMovies folder. It's OK to have both, but I did this for consistency with the other video sets. In the long term, I would like to update Beware's scripts to use this format, as well as have compatibility with the ZIv versions of the songs.
