How to Map your LTEK Dance Pad
This guide will show you how to map your LTEK mat in Stepmania.
1. launch Stepmania
Open the previously downloaded StepMania on your computer and connect your mat to the same device.
2. Go to "Settings"
Once you have opened Stepmania and see the main screen of the game, go to “Settings.”
3. Config Key / Joy Mappings Part 1
While in the settings, select the “Config Key / Joy Mappings” option.
4. Config Key / Joy Mappings Part 2
When you enter the Config Key / Joy Mappings option, you will see a notification. You can skip it by pressing “Enter” on your keyboard.
5. Config Key / Joy Mappings Part 3
If the LTEK mat is connected, “L-TEK Dance Pad PRO” should appear at the top of the screen.
If you are a PRIME / Next Level Gaming Mat user, depending on the profile, the mat may not appear as a controller and may have keyboard mappings. You can check the selected mode as follows:
PRIME: The Start/Select buttons are illuminated, and this illumination indicates the currently selected profile.
Next Level Gaming Mat: On the sensor panel in the middle, you will see 5 LEDs that indicate the current profile (depending on the color and brightness of each LED).
To check exactly which profile is currently selected, refer to “manuals & Setup” or the physical manual that came with the mat.
6. Config Key / Joy Mappings Part 4
If the LTEK mat is on the correct profile and is connected, it should be automatically detected by the game and mapped automatically.
If it is not, or if you want to make sure that everything is mapped correctly, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to go to the “Left/Right/Up/Down” option.
The options in the middle indicate the action to be performed by the assigned button. Since we have only 1 mat conencted, we add the control on the left side - “P1 slots” in "Primary" section.
7. Config Key / Joy Mappings Part 5
Now that the cursor is on the “left” action field (when you are on a given field, the dots should ‘flash’), press “Enter” on your keyboard — the selected field will start flashing faster and the dots in the empty field will turn red, which means that the field is ready to be assigned a button.
8. Config Key / Joy Mappings Part 6
Now, on our mat, we press the button corresponding to the direction - in this case, the left arrow.
9. Config Key / Joy Mappings Part 7
Repeat this for each direction until all four directions are mapped. Your settings should look like the ones in the picture.
If you have mats with Start/Select buttons, map them to the following positions:
Start – press the right button; it will be used to confirm actions.
Back (as select) - press the left button, which will allow you to go back through the menu.
10. Exit & Save
Now you can press “Escape” on your keyboard, a notification will pop up asking if you want to save the mapping, press “Yes,” the game will save your selections and return you to the settings screen.
Now your mat is mapped!
