[W.I.P.] SM5 - DDRX Theme

Sorry for advertising but you can use the graphics of the forum and me as place holders for series folder banners.

---

Yes, I'll have to check the script to start changing it, I think it could not be so hard.


Thanks, this is more to a full game related, but I'm sure it would be useful if I decide to pack a DDRX pc version. Thanks!

Thanks for the comments friends, I have some free time this week, and also have drawn the high scores placeholder for the songs and some other partial graphics that I will show later.



This can be set to show or hide in theme options. For those that don't want to see them. Is still missing things, but I will complete it soon. I'm start to check the configurable settings to create a flexible theme

---------------------

Update, I'm working on the cut-ins/toasties I have to capture a video to check the missing things in the animation, but it works!

Nice :0

That's look nice but the 4 arrows are a bit lower how about you can move the arrows a little bit upper near the dance guage.

I like the cut-in's as well.
Keep up the good work.

I'd rather just have all graphics placed in the exact same spot and size as in the widescreen arcade version of the game. I'm aching for that song wheel and banner to be closer to the middle like in the arcade... it all just seems way too far apart and there's too much nothing in the middle of the screen.

To me the widescreen version of the DRX is a shame, they won't realigned the items, they are basically in the same position at 4:3 version, that's the reason that I don't like it, it feels incomplete, also as I've answered some pages ago, that will be customizable via theme options, those who like the arcade replica could choose it, those who like to fit the screen borders could choose it I'll have to make a lot of switches, but is better for everyone to apply his custom preferences and it would be a nice theme for everyone.

Actually you can toggle various items like the kcal counter, the cut-ins, the song high scores, etc. I think is the better way to do that.

-----------------

Added a short video preview there is a lot of things misaligned/misplaced is mainly to check the progress on the cut-ins, excuse the lag and the bad timming I have a lot of BG tasks running.

This is nice dude good job

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year

There are some news of what I'm working on some free times:

1. Updated the course type selection screen, is near to be done, I'll have to check a bug, when changing to challenge mode the elements are misaligned I'll check that later.



2. Updated the player options screen, I've removed the default SM5 options, and added the DDRX options, the Speed mods and other options are from remywiki data. Also I've added the Takuya's theme fonts, I have no idea how to change the Y Spacing of the elements, but I'll check that later too.



3. And for the last item, I've modified the default theme screen filter to match the DDRX filter, it works, but I have another bug in the profile saving, due to the equivalent number of the options the screen filter preference will not be saved, I'll have to create that later. But is working for casual play.



Well that is all until this point. I've been tired and busy, but the theme is near to go for a first release, I'll be ripping some resource and messing with the missing things. Thanks to all for watching. And stay tuned for more

For modify the Y Spacing, you have to find the RowPositionTransformFunction on [ScreenPlayerOptions] (if it is not there, see _fallback), and change the command self:y()

Example from my theme:
RowPositionTransformFunction=function(self,offsetFromCenter,itemIndex,numItems) self:y(CenterY()-182+28*offsetFromCenter) end

Remember: all modifiers should see in english.

Its looking great but that life bar really bothers me, If you fix that life bar does that mean the gameplay screen is done? Cause it looks Completely done on my eyes.

---

Thanks! I got It!




Yes, remember that I'm using the localization because my locale system is in Spanish, but I'm updating the english language too




Don't worry, I'll be fixing some things that I've left in the way of the process, the lifebar is one of those things I'll be fixing some position, some menus, cleaning some bits of code, deleting junk files/code from the default theme. Now I have some skills, and I'm working on some secret things that I reveal later Thanks for reading.

That select option menu is very good keep it up

I've updated it a bit, added the cursor, the line selector and the p1 and p2 icons, just left to find how to arrange the columns to put the option labels at the center of the screen, and reduce the explanations horizontal space to avoid the text overlapping. And this screen will be almost done

How did you get the special noteskins to work?

Never mind read that wrong lol

Fixed some things on the title screen and added the dummy items for the remaining PS2 items:


Anyone has the raining bgvideo for the shock arrow songs?


------------------------------------------------------

A little update: Arranged the battle screen



Still left a little bit of tweaks but is playable

I've gonna ask you did well of making this theme and you manage to change the score from old to new.

Another thing that you manage to add the word LOCAL MODE and the music list you manage to change it from flat to 3d and the colour of different DDR series folder.

Raise from the grave!

Taking a little break from the DDRA theme, and improving my oldest themes, I could notice here, that this theme and the DDR Extreme 2 are rebased, that means, that the themes are not a modification of the default Stepmania5 theme, that means a lower size of the file, and a lot of crap/unused files removed

As part of the news, the theme is all reworked, I've edited some pictures to avoid stretching some images, and get the best quality and performance theme.

All the metrics have been modified, to get the closest simulation, the repository is updated with the intention to make it public and test it please just report bugs or strange things, not missing or unimplemented things, remember that the theme is going to be reworked, and I can't port everything in one day from the previous version

I've got some good resources to replace some low quality files, and I will be creating the missing ones. As always I will try to get updated the thread with the latest news.

Also, as a parallel work, I'm doing the DDRX2 Console version, due the fact that is the 90% same thing like this theme, that theme is not in a repository, because I'm dumping the PS2 graphics and taht will take a lot of time, I will give a teaser of the quality of the new graphics:



And of course some screens of the actual DDRX theme:





As always thanks for the support, comments, suggestions and questions are welcome!

I think it's pretty baller that you don't let your themes die. Keep it up!

So wait, you removed everything from the last time you updated it to revamp the theme or because it was unstable?
