EnvUtils2

EnvUtils2 is an add-on for StepMania 4.0/5.0 themes created by AJ 187. It allows themers to access the environment table using and, as one would in StepMania 3.9.

History
EnvUtils2 started life as EnvUtils in dubaiOne. The implementation was cumbersome, and it was hard to use efficiently, as repeated writes to settings did not work as intended (multiple entries would show up, and  was needlessly complex). A need for a simpler version of EnvUtils was evident, as there were a number of extra commands in the original EnvUtils that worked around the limitations of the original design.

Once AJ remembered you could call table values by associative names in Lua, EnvUtils2 was written and has worked without a hitch ever since.

The standalone version of EnvUtils2 was released on December 30, 2008. It is also included with the StepMania 5 fallback theme.
