Here are the SM timing window configurations for the file "...Step Mania/Data/Step Mania.config". Somewhere in the middle of the configuration file you will see "JudgeWindowSecond" replace the appropriate values with the style you would like to play.

I find that the "Frame-Rate based 8th Mix Arcade Timings" feel the most accurate.

The timing window is the degree of how precisely you need to hit the arrow compared to the music offset; a larger time equals more leanancy in how precise you have to be.

NEW! Using A Pad:

In conjungtion with the timing windows, you should set these two attributes, to more effectively duplicate a real arcade pad (credits to Crono).

PadStickSeconds=0.050000
JudgeWindowAdd=0.001500


Default:

JudgeWindowScale=0.660000
JudgeWindowSecondsAttack=0.135000
JudgeWindowSecondsBoo=0.180000
JudgeWindowSecondsGood=0.135000
JudgeWindowSecondsGreat=0.090000
JudgeWindowSecondsMarvelous=0.022500
JudgeWindowSecondsMine=0.090000
JudgeWindowSecondsOK=0.250000
JudgeWindowSecondsPerfect=0.045000


8th Mix Arcade:

JudgeWindowScale=1.000000
JudgeWindowSecondsAttack=0.120000
JudgeWindowSecondsBoo=0.150000
JudgeWindowSecondsGood=0.120000
JudgeWindowSecondsGreat=0.090000
JudgeWindowSecondsMarvelous=0.015000
JudgeWindowSecondsMine=0.120000
JudgeWindowSecondsOK=0.250000
JudgeWindowSecondsPerfect=0.030000


Note: Those of you that use the above option make sure to update the current WindowScale setting change.

8th Mix Arcade (Frame-rate based):

JudgeWindowScale=1.000000
JudgeWindowSecondsAttack=0.135000
JudgeWindowSecondsBoo=0.191666
JudgeWindowSecondsGood=0.158333
JudgeWindowSecondsGreat=0.108333
JudgeWindowSecondsMarvelous=0.016666
JudgeWindowSecondsMine=0.108333
JudgeWindowSecondsOK=0.250000
JudgeWindowSecondsPerfect=0.033333


Note: Those of you that use the above option make sure to update the current WindowMarvelous setting change.

In The Groove:

JudgeWindowScale=1.000000
JudgeWindowSecondsAttack=0.135000
JudgeWindowSecondsBoo=0.180000
JudgeWindowSecondsGood=0.135000
JudgeWindowSecondsGreat=0.102000
JudgeWindowSecondsMarvelous=0.021500
JudgeWindowSecondsMine=0.070000
JudgeWindowSecondsOK=0.320000
JudgeWindowSecondsPerfect=0.043000

i think that answer is in the FAQ thread

http://www.ddrfreak.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=64981


Q:what judge difficulty is closest to the real arcade?

A:Depends on what arcade mix, everything but 3rd and 8th mix, the difficulty is around the 4. For 3rd and 8th, bump it up to 5 or 6 if you are feeling lucky


i think is what your looking for

I doubt that answered his question...this, however might:

JudgeWindowAttackSeconds=0.120000 (assumed to be same as "good")
JudgeWindowBooSeconds=0.150000
JudgeWindowGoodSeconds=0.120000
JudgeWindowGreatSeconds=0.090000 (same as SM's defaults)
JudgeWindowMarvelousSeconds=0.015000
JudgeWindowMineSeconds=0.120000 (assumed to have "good"'s window)
JudgeWindowOKSeconds=0.250000 (just an assumption)
JudgeWindowPerfectSeconds=0.030000 (this would be around judge difficulty 5 2/3)

Change those in the SM config file. It might be JudgeWindowSecondsPerfect or something slightly different however.

EDIT: And that's 8th mix, by the way.

Thanks. And I'm assuming the options judge setting stays on 4?

EDIT: I'm also getting a lot of odd misses, one's that I'm sure I'm not missing (even on songs I can SDG/AAA).

yeah, if you change it to anything else and then try to go back to 4, it will reset to the SM default.

Thanks.

And along with the other remaining question, why is my default scalewindow suddenly a full second? When neither the default or the other one I put it on is 1...rather 0.66

EDIT: OMG.....the difference. IT BURNS!

Sakura went from 3 Greats to 60 Greats
Max 300 went from 18 Greats to 90 Greats
PS went from 10 Greats to 85 Greats
LoM went from 25 Greats to 80 Greats
MaxX Unlimited went from 20 Greats to 130!!

WTF! E2.gif E2.gif E2.gif My hopes of AAAing a 10 footer went terribly down the drain!!! OMG!! WTF???????????????????? I'll never get it now! This is just ****ING terrible! frust.gif frust.gif frust.gif

But there were no differences in goods (I sill FCed them all).

SHEIZAR! goog.gif

I hate to bring up an old post, but this is getting annoying. Whenever I change the timings in the .ini it always changes back to the defaults. I can't get it to stay. I am using rc1. Tell me what is wrong.

Question 1: What's rc1?

Question 2: Could it be because you're using rc1?

"RC1" = Release Candidate 1

Stepmania 3.9 has finished alpha testing and is very near release (release version will be 4.0 I believe). This is good news for skinners, as there will likely be no more metrics changes.

um, you did worse because the timing window wasn't painfully easy? also, the scaling has to do with what fractions your timing windows are based on. with a scale window of .66 your windows are divisions of that, while a scale of 1 sec means that your timing windows will be divisions of whole numbers I believe. not absolutely sure about that.

EDIT: scratch that. it doesn't make any sense. I've never seen your timings before, so I'm guessing based on the decimals that the ones you have are inaccurate and too easy. stick with the ones with the scale of a second.

JudgeWindowScale=1.000000
JudgeWindowSecondsAttack=0.135000
JudgeWindowSecondsBoo=0.191666
JudgeWindowSecondsGood=0.158333
JudgeWindowSecondsGreat=0.108333

JudgeWindowSecondsOK=0.250000
JudgeWindowSecondsPerfect=0.033333

This is actually all 60FPS mixes approximate timings.

DDR arcade mix timings aren't based off of seconds, they're based on frames, marvelous is 1 frame, perfect is 2, etc. If you divide these frame counts by 60(the amount of frames displayed in a second on 5th - 8th mix) then you get these timings. However, OK is not exact, since on the machine I believe it's based on beats, so it would be influenced by the BPM of the song.

However, these timings are not exact. When translated into seconds, it's just slightly relaxed.

If they were in seconds, those values are what they'd be.

So does that mean in both conditions (arcade and not) should it be 1.00 or 0.66?

I find that rather difficult to believe since it would make a lot of the slower scrolling songs easier to PA and that doesn't appear to be the case at all when I find songs like after the game of love harder to PA regardless of scrolling speed.

No, no. He's talking about OK's. Ya know the hold arrow?

That's why some people jump to the beat on the hold arrows because you won't loose your OK that way.

Yes, but he's talking about more than just the freeze scoring logistics. There's no doubt that it's based on fixed timing and nothing else. What I'm doubting is the notion that evaluation of tap steps are based on visual coordinate increments and not that same fixed timing.
