## Q＆A
- The song difficulty on the dan-i select screen is all Oni 10 stars!
```
In the .tja file, please add ",(Difficulty),(Course)" in the #NEXTSONG line.
- I get an error saying "Tower_Floors" is not found.
```
Make the folder structure not System/Graphics
but System/(Skin name)/Graphics.
```
- I get an error saying "11_Characters" is not found!
```
From version 0.5.2, characters are read from 11_Characters.
In "(Skin name)/Graphics" folder, make a "11_Characters" folder, and insert character files in "(Skin name)/Graphics/11_Characters/(Character number)".
Rename character config files to "CharaConfig.txt".
If you do not want characters, make "(Skin name)/Graphics/11_Characters/0" empty.
```
- OpenTaiko does not start.
```
