I think that has to deal with how warps work in SM5, because I recall it being like that when run under 5.0.12. I'm not sure how it actually works, so updating mawaru2 to have that is probably not gonna happen. That, and I'd need enough time to actually look into it in full detail (and college isn't helping on the 'lack of time' problem).

@HaleyHalcyon - Gaming Channel wrong, play the file to find out your lied

Welp, here comes a large wall of text to answer this question. In general, the first thing I do is use the xml to lua converter sm5 has, and then work out all lua-related errors that come up. After that, it then really depends on what the file does. (it also depends on what I want, which is usually 16:9 compatibility) For short files, I can deal with replaying to ensure things work (It can be time consuming, as you say, though). In the event of mods or other visual effects not working quite right (negative reverse in 5.2, for example), I shift over to a testing file where I experiment (using the original set of effects as a base of sorts) and see how to re-create the original effect. This can take quite a while as I try to compare various inputs and the results they could give. For longer files, I end up using the editor to make sure things like fg and bg effects work (though I may have to temporarily disable things to ensure errors don't impede the testing process.) Testing things like player tweens require me to have the file play out to a certain extent. Sometimes, I'll even record the file up to that point and compare with the itg version, usually using ky_dash's videos as a reference. Sometimes, I'll even start to notice things that are 'off' while recording a conversion to release, and then I go back to working on it. Even after a conversion is released, people can still point out problems and I'll try to fix them if I can. Also, if the sm5 editor could have 2 player mode (like what nITG has), that would probably help with testing significantly.

MrThatKid4 interesting, thanks for the reply. and yeah, i've been thinking about how great it would be if there was two player edit mode too lol

Usually because I don't touch the .sm file all that often, and when I do mess with the .sm, it seems to work fine for what I need it to do (which is usually adding course modifiers in the form of attacks). I don't see much reason to include a .ssc if the .sm file works fine.
