About

This is the v4.2 release of Simply Love for StepMania 5. It includes bug fixes not present in the previous release.

Please note that this release of Simply Love requires StepMania 5.0.12 (or a custom build from StepMania's 5_1-new branch) to function properly. Older versions of SM5 are not supported.

Bug Fixes

Fixes for NPS Histograms

Clipping Issues

The notes-per-second histograms introduced in release 4.1 exhibited some buggy behavior. The right side of the graph representing the end of the chart would often be clipped off due to a masking issue. This would result in graph being inaccurate.

This should be fixed now.

NPS Histograms Fixed for CourseMode

Step Statistics, including the NPS histograms, have been fixed to work in CourseMode.

BPM Display in Gameplay

The BPM Display that appears in Gameplay has been fixed to accommodate Courses with "split BPMs." Previously, CourseMode was hardcoded to display only the BPM from the MasterPlayerNumber.

Surround Lifemeter Matches SL3.95, Visually

I realized that the Surround Lifemeter didn't match its SL3.95 counterpart visually and fixed that.

Misc. Cleanup

A few files have been cleaned up and more comments have been added.

Open Issues

It was pointed out that players using profiles should have their modifiers set from their profiles without ever needing to visit ScreenPlayerOptions, but that this does not actually happen. Some modifiers are applied but not all.

Some discussion surrounding this matter occurred here with a solution being offered, but that fix appears to not work for all modifiers.

I need more time to think about how to do this properly, and I don't have that time right now, so this remains an open issue.
