[SM5 THEME] DanceDanceRevolution Next Generation ~Release~

Mad Matt explained this a few pages back:

I thought I had fixed this in the last update, or maybe it's something else. Let me know if ForceTimer doesn't work for you.

---

In my copy you forgot to put in the ForceTimer metric. But don't worry, I typed it in myself and it works. Is it ok if you tell me how to lower the words in the main menu (Game Mode, Training Mode, etc.)? Because they're too high to the point that the word "Game Mode" ends up overlapping with the lower part of the "Next Generation" in the logo.

Yeah sure, in metrics go to [ScreenTitleMenu] and change ScrollerY=SCREEN_CENTER_Y+150 to something like ScrollerY=SCREEN_CENTER_Y+200. Just keep adding or subtracting until you find a position you like.

---

I tried the position you suggested "200" and it was PERFECT! Do you mind if I make a few more suggestions? This theme is awesome (This is coming from somebody who switched from CyberiaStyle 8 Solid) but I think there are some things that are missing that can really make it better.

Yeah sure go for it, I'm currently working on a DDR 2014 theme so they won't be first priority but I'll definitely get to working on them.

---

Thanks! So here it is:

THE OBVIOUS
1.The High Score name entry (I know it's a work in progress)
2.The Jukebox (I think it kind of the norm for any theme to have the jukebox but I could be wrong)

THE ATTRACT LOOP
1.The Tutorial video. Preferably after the title screen and before a demo of any song available (Look at #2)
2.Demonstration (A short preview of a song and a chart of any difficulty before the High Score)

MENUS
1.Music for main menu & final result evaluation

GAMEPLAY INTERFACE
1.An option to turn off the "SLOW" & "FAST" Timing graphics

I might add more every now and then.

Change it in Player Options, please:
from DDR X2-2013 style to DDR 2014 style
Risky -> Dance Meter
Off -> Normal
On -> Risky
Add: 4 LIVES

Bold: title for this option

Note: Regular play only

ScreenDemo is a variation of ScreenJukebox, so might as well include jukebox mode.

Also, I think there should be a Reload Songs/Courses option in the Options menu.

I hate to bump this but I noticed the download link for the theme is no longer available.

Sorry about that, had some trouble with MEGA. Links are updated and all on Mediafire.

---

OK! If MEGA fail our downloads, try on other download server, and add mirrors to other servers if any one fails.

@riskofsoundingnerdy, good luck with mediafire server!

---

I tested the theme on StepMania 5 beta 3, and it does work, but the alternative options menu crashes. But it still works!

---

Try updating your StepMania 5 to the latest version (which is 5.0.6 at the time of this post). http://www.stepmania.com/download/

Don't Update Stepmania to the last Version with this Theme. I use this Theme for Years for Convention Gamesrooms in Germany and I have many many troubles with the newest Stepmania Version and this Theme. Every half Hour Stepmania crashes. riskofsoundingnerdy please Update your Theme, so it works with the last Version of Stepmania.

Best Wishes,
Michael from Germany ;-)

I know this is super late, but I can't seem to change the difficulty on this theme. I'm using StepMania 5.3 on Mac Big Sur 11.1, and the difficulty won't change when I double-tap up or down. All I manage to do is toggle the info wheel. How can I fix this?

Have you tried using StepMania 5.0 or 5.1?

---

does 5.0 and 5.1 even work on OS X 11.1
