Question Regarding Arcade Mode Behavior

Hiya! 

I'm currently having issues with setting the Arcade Mode Behavior to either "Pay" or "Free Play".  Whenever the theme gets into the title screen when under one of those two modes, I get an error prompt that "Graphics/ScreenTitleJoin Scroll ChoiceGameStart" is missing.  So, I thought I could just run past the problem and hit ignore, but apparently even after putting in credits and hitting start, the game refuses to transition into profile/style select and stays indefinitely looped on the title screen.

Home behavior works perfectly fine.

Did I perhaps get a bad installation of TrotMania or is anyone else actually having this same problem I am having?  If this is a bit too vague, I can probably provide a crash report or some screenshots to clarify things.

Unfortunately Pay/Free Coin mode is entirely unsupported on TM3. The reason why you can't start the game up on ScreenTitleJoin maybe because not only the graphics is missing, but the command for "ChoiceGameStart" is missing aswell, which is weird, since ScreenTitleMenu uses the same Choice command...i think.

What you could do, is edit the Branches lua inside the Scripts folder to make it transition to ScreenTitleMenu upon exiting the attraction sequence (pressing start or inserting enough coins).

If it sounds way too complicated, i have a modificated version of both TM2 and 3, includes a functional attraction sequence (albeit still in works and placeholder-y), which i can either provide the files you need, or the whole modificated theme i have.

...or i could PM you for a more detailed step-by-step tutorial on how to do these...

P.S.: Also question: Are you using the provided SM5 version (5.0.7), or the latest version (5.0.10)?

That actually sounds really convenient if you could provide the files, considering I only really have the knowledge of a script kiddie and I don't want to end up blowing up the whole program. >_<

For the sake of learning though, if you'd still like to PM instructions,  I'd gladly accept that too.  I don't want to be too much of a bother.

Oh, and to answer your question, I'm using the latest version (5.0.10).  Does that really make that much of a difference?

Not supporting anything to do with coin mode. Sorry. If you want stages instead of event mode, there's a separate option for that.
