Re: [Stepmania-devs] How to reload metrics.ini ?

[Chris D. <cdanford@u.washington.edu>]

Hi.

THEME->ReloadMetrics() is the right call to make.  You could find somewhere to put that call (like
ScreenManager::SetNewScreen) so that it would happen on every screen load.  

There's no cache of theme data, so you don't have to worry about it reloading from cache.

What behavior are you seeing that suggests it's not working?  What metrics are being changed by the external program?
