WHAT IS NOTITG?

NotITG is a rhythm game, standing out from others by being
visual-artist-oriented, with its unique in-engine features emphasizing
ease-of-use for creators of modded game content.

For creators coming from other versions of StepMania, one of NotITG's most
important features is an editor that accurately previews modded effects as they
would appear in regular gameplay. This allows creators to easily test effects
on-demand, without needing to replay the entire song.
It also provides support for GLSL shaders, arbitrary pathing for notes as they
approach the targets (and displaying those paths on screen) and even moving the
window itself, and much more, all controlled from Lua that can be loaded from
the charts themselves!

NotITG's content is primarily community-driven! Our Discord server hosts an
active community of user creating and sharing high-quality modded content. Hop
in to both play and learn more about creating some crazy arrow game content.

WHAT IS AN "SRT"?

A "Sight Reading Tournament", or SRT, is an event in which players are tasked
with playing modded charts they have never seen before. These tournaments have
taken place both offline (in person, at venues) and online (using special builds
of the game client).

Some of these events feature ongoing stories, with additional story content
including voice-acted cutscenes and extensive lore. The largest of these
story-based tournaments is named UKSRT.
The most recent tournament, OISRT, was exclusively run online, and was almost
exclusively comprised of community-created content. It took place in December
2021, and a second one will take place at the end of 2022. You won't want to
miss it!


DOWNLOAD THE GAME


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

 1. Download the game, and extract it anywhere without administrative privileges
    required.
    For example, your desktop, your documents, or another disk is fine! But do
    not put the game in C:\Program Files!
 2. Once the game extracted, open the new folder, then the Program folder. From
    there, you can simply start NotITG.exe!
 3. In order to make yourself more familiar with the game, please make sure to
    read the FAQ below!


FAQ


WHAT SHOULD BE MY FIRST STEPS?

As soon as you started the game, you might want to customise your key bindings.
The default keys are your keyboard arrow keys, but you can change those by going
into the game options, then in "Config Key/Joy Mappings".
From here, simply bind new keys for Left, Down, Up, and Right by going into each
corresponding row, hitting enter, then hitting the wanted key (like D F J K, for
example). Once you're done, you can save by hitting your Escape key.

Now that your keybindings are ready, you simply can go into "Dance mode", pick
the color of your choice, then select "Play Mods". You will be greeted by a vast
selection of pre-installed songs.

From there, pick the wanted song by using your Left and Right keys, and hit
enter to start it. The song difficulty is shown in the lower-left corner of the
game, and goes between 1 and 20. We suggest you to start with something easy
first!

During your first play, the game might not be synced to your audio devices. You
have 2 choices here:

 * Hit your F6 key twice, then play the song. The game will automatically sync
   the game according to your inputs.
 * If you prefer manually syncing your game, hold the Shift key and press F11 or
   F12. This will adjust your game sync with 20ms intervals. Holding Alt at the
   same time as Shift will allow you to fine tune your offset to the
   millisecond!

Either way, once you're satisfied with the current offset, you can either finish
the song, or back out (by holding the Escape key) to save your sync. All that is
left now is to have fun with the game!




WHERE CAN I FIND SONGS AND PACKS?

For NotITG modded files, the NotITG download already contains more than 120
songs, ready to be played! If you want more, feel free to head over to our
Discord server to find a lot of other files.
For non-modded files, you can find a large index of normal ITG files, which are
mostly compatible with NotITG.


HOW DO I ADD SONGS?

 * If the downloaded song only contains one folder, and inside it, some files
   (.png, .sm, .ogg, etc.), simply extract this folder from the downloaded
   zipfile, then drag-and-drop the folder into the NotITG window!
 * If the downloaded archive has a "Songs" folder (and eventually additional
   ones like "Courses" or "NoteSkins"), just drag these folders in your NotITG
   installation, to merge these with your existing folders, then restart your
   game.

In short: song folders must be placed in the hierarchy of NotITG/Songs/Group
Folder/My Song Folder.
A song cannot be loaded if it is not within a Group Folder within NotITG's Songs
folder.



HOW DO I CHANGE THE THEME, OR OTHER GAME SETTINGS?

You can change the theme by going into the game options, then into "Select
Theme".
However, if your current theme does not have such an option, you can still
change the theme by editing the GamePrefs.ini file found in the Data folder,
while the game is closed.

Various other game settings (such as DisplayHeight, DisplayWidth,
DisplayAspectRatio and Windowed can also be changed by editing another file:
Data/StepMania.ini.
(These, also, can only be changed while the game is closed, as the setting will
be overwritten on game close so your changes will be lost)
Please note that themes that were not created for OpenITG or NotITG will not
work here!


THE GAME IS CRASHING WITH DEFAULT NOTESKIN 'DANCE' MISSING!

Don't move the Program folder out from where it's placed in the setup.
Similarly, if you created a shortcut for the program, make sure to not edit its
"Working directory" in the shortcut properties. In case of doubt, double-click
on the .exe directly.


WHAT IS "PLAY MODS"? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE WITH "STANDARD"?

The default game mode for NotITG is two player mode, with a setting called
"BothAtOnce" - this is a setting that mirrors your inputs to all on-screen
playfields. This became the standard in modding, as many charts will use effects
that require both playfields to be on screen in order to be readable.


IS THERE A MACOS OR LINUX VERSION?

Not currently! There are plans, but you may need to wait a while.
However, as of right now, Wine support for NotITG is quite good! You will be
able to use this in almost all use cases for the game, without issues.


THE MAIN MENU HAS NO OPTIONS AVAILABLE!

You might have accidentally stumbled into Arcade mode! Please hold F3 to bring
up the debug menu, then press the 1 key until the option for "Coin Mode" is set
to "home".


THE GAME DOES NOT START AT ALL, WITH NO ERRORS BEING SHOWN.

Unfortunately, a few antiviruses (like AVG or Avast) wrongly flag NotITG as
being dangerous. Their assumption is only due to the fact it has not been
downloaded enough times. You simply need to whitelist NotITG's folder in your
antivirus, and it will be able to start.
