THANK YOU!!

I'm still 503'd. :(

Okay, so I *have* been here, that's where I found out about this step [adding the 200 lines to ddr_16_global_events.sql] (I did a full forum search for "Baby-Lon's Adventure"). I know on Page 2 there was a ddr_16_global_events.sql file... is this the *same* one that's in the A20 thread's first page, or a different one, by chance? That might be the fix for my weird issue (in the A20 thread) if it's not identical. There's also something about another build here? I didn't see it anywhere.

Well, I don't mind A and it's fun to play for now. I'm still getting that 503 error, so it's just gonna have to do for the time being.

Filename: MDX-001-2019042200.zip ...yep, that's A, then. Well, shit. Should I dig for the other topic, then? Sorry about this. No VPN or proxy on, here.

I think with this, you just stick to Stepmania.

nyaa.si link does this: So, here's the first obstacle I came across. Somewhere in the thread I came across another dump, so that might be part of the equation. I followed some other advice I found about Baby-Lon's Adventure restarting forever, and that the fix to that was to change 16_global_event_data.sql so that there was 200 rows and they were all consistently labelled. I then saw on the Butterfly FAQ that you could change event_save_data.sql with 1s or 2s to unlock songs so I did that as well. Currently, no Baby-Lon's/Rinon's Adventure stuff appears, but that's okay, I think I'm really only missing Dancer in the Flare and Far East Nightbird/kors k remix out of these. The "Final Stage Only" songs *do* show up on Final Stage, no Oni charts, as well as New Century and Rising Fire Hawk appearing here. Cirno's Perfect Math Class has Oni but Night of Knights doesn't. And while I get Extra Stage to work, there's just Extra Exclusive with Pursuer and Vanquish The Monkey in it. KAC 8th shows up in the events sort too, but it's the only one. DDR Selection shows up as well. No Extra Savior events or songs appear at all. Also no Endymion or Ace For Aces at all. Cosy Catastrophe appears on all stages, for whatever reason, which is the only thing that seems odd. EDIT: Also, Oboro has no Oni chart.

Well, then I messed *something* up here... >.>

Do I need to somehow update ddr_16_event_save_data.sql for Extra Savior songs to appear?

I did use that guide, and I greatly appreciate it. It made most of this rather problem-free. The "service button for coins" thing did get me like, "wut" - but now that I know that, there shouldn't be any more hangups. Thank you all for making this so buttery smooth!

Trying to register them (as Adminstrator) gave me an error until I did the MPEG-2 codecs. It might be a result of recent Win 10 updates (or just a recent computer that doesn't come with them preinstalled)? Either way, it didn't work before that, and it's worked since then. *shrug* I've been a software engineer since 1998, so it's not like it's "way over my head" stuff. I gotta tinker with it some more to get it to 100%; coin slot makes the sound effect but doesn't do any credits so I have to play in Free/Event Mode, and Premium Play doesn't pop up there so I can't do unlocks/Extra Stage. I'm sure it's something in the config. The hard part was just getting it going, right?

Thank you for all the setup help. I just got this installed and set up, and I can launch the game and it mostly works good! For some reason though, whenever I pick a song with a dedicated video background, it just hangs on the CD jacket/loading screen indefinitely and I'm not sure why. What should I be checking for (if you know)? The video files themselves aren't missing or misplaced, either. Theater and umu are populated too, they just haven't loaded as of this screencap (hence the green bar). EDIT: Okay, so now Windows 10 makes you install the MPEG-2 codec *MANUALLY* now. This fixed it. Here's a link for your Page 1 FAQ: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/mpeg-2-video-extension/9n95q1zzpmh4 RE-EDIT: NOPE, STILL NOT WORKING. :/ RE-RE-EDIT: I had to install the MPEG-2 Codec *FIRST* and then re-register the DLLs per the tutorial. All is good now. To be fair though, I'm still curious about restoring older songs, and I think I saw something about that somewhere here.
