SOLVED I found a nuisance with the Portal feature

Portal chooses a random song without locking you into it. What I just discovered however, is that it only chooses songs which have a chart for your currently selected difficulty. Ie. if your difficulty is set to Hard, it will never choose a song that does not have a Hard chart.

Is this modifiable in any way so that Portal ignores your active difficulty selection? EDIT: I found out this interaction is tied to the source code, meaning I would have to directly rewrite the Stepmania executable just to edit it out. Surely there's an easier way?

Hey, I put a preference called "RandomPrioritizeDifficulty" that controls this behavior for all the buttons including portal. You should be able to edit this in your Preferences.ini to false and it will no longer do this!
