It will have a timer so you can measure your pulse and a numpad for entering the BPM of your heart. If the theme supports it, a screen for entering your heart rate will come up after gameplay and before evaluation. If you set the calorie calculation choice to use heart rate, then calories will not be added to the profile for every step. VO2Max is optional, the internal code has a (less accurate) variant of the formula that is used if VO2Max is set to 0. (shapesense's formula is the one that was used.) Simply put, calculating calories purely off the number of steps hit and weight is inaccurate, so a new method for calculating off of heart rate, weight, age, gender and song duration was added. This screen was added to allow setting the profile settings related to calculating how many calories were burned. Hit Start on a choice to change its value. To reach it, go to the Options screen from the main menu. Theme author instructions for adding support are in the Themer section. If you're not using a theme that supports it, it's not relevant. This is for setting things like weight, birth year, and other calorie tracking stuff. Customize ProfileĪ profile customization screen now exists. This change was made because editing SpeedMods.txt often resulted in people making mistakes or editing the wrong one, or not knowing it existed, or having to add too many options and ending up with an absurd number of choices to scroll through. SpeedMods.txt is no longer used by the default theme, though other themes can choose to support it.
#Stepmania theme mod#
This replaces the old system where a speed mod was selected from a small set to allow you to set any speed modifier you might want without needing to worry about whether it's in the theme's small list. 10 on this scale is equivalent to 0.1x on the XMod scale.

"Speed Increment Large" adjusts the larger increment. "Speed Increment" adjusts the smaller increment that is used. To change the sizes of the increments, go to the Advanced Options section of the Options in the default theme. If there are two players joined, there are two status elements.
#Stepmania theme update#
The status element will update to tell you the new setting. Hit start on an element to interact with it and change your speed mod by that increment or change the mode. Last are elements for changing the mode of the speed mod. Next are elements for adjusting it up or down, in large or small increments. It's underlined by the player's color the same way any other option that is set is underlined. The first element on the speed mod row tells you what your speed mod is currently set to.
#Stepmania theme mods#
In the default theme, speed mods are set in a new way.
