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

Nice theme Inori, you have learned a lot with the SN3 theme.

Coming back to our business

I've modified the preferred songs file (SongManager PreferredSongs) like this:


But when the select music screen loads it still shows the groups normal and not in this manual order. I'm missing something?

Use perferred sorting and make sure the groups are enabled also

@MadKaT you forgot to include the group header above each line. Like these:

--- DDR X
DDR X/*
--- DDR SuperNOVA2
DDR SuperNOVA2/*
--- DDR SuperNOVA
DDR SuperNOVA/*
--- DDR EXTREME
DDR EXTREME/*
and so on

Nice, the sort worked! I'll have to check later the full list to make it detailed. Thanks friends.

As for the theme I have 2 questions:

When I use the default sorting, the folders are showing the names correctly:



But when i change to other sorting method, the fonts dissappear!:



And when you choose the sorting method also the group banner dissapear!



I think to delete all the banner fonts/graphics and add them one by one to re-check and search the bug. Any other idea of what could be wrong?

Well I've fixed the song wheel items graphics re-arranging them but i still have the fonts bug, I've removed all the songwheel item related fonts but still is missing the text, I'll check the metrics later. Maybe I've changed the X position of the text



After an extended checking of metrics.ini I have found a pair of lines that are creating this bug, and now is solved! The next thing I will try to do is the color assignment for the group bg item and the font.

Try add to your [ScreenSelectMusic] MusicWheelOnCommand: draworder,-1.

hey madkat can I borrow your music wheel code cause i wanna to try to finish the SN2 theme

Yes but don't forget to credit the original authors, the code is not mine

-----

The lastest update, I've done the initial version of the group coloring, the letter sorting is done:


The difficulty sorting is only missing the pills graphic for the difficulty level.


And the group sorting is in initial version, cause the CS version doesn't have the group sorting, only the bg colors and I don't have the exact colors for BG and fonts


I have to create the remaining font colors and check with a good source the true combinations I'll have to dump some other resources from the emulator, like the badges for the top 3 song, etc.

When I have some time I'll post more updates. Thanks for watching.

Thanks man but every time i try to run the mtrics on stepmania it crashes does this have to be a specific verison if so which version?

metrics*

What about the options menu but what about the arrow modifiers. When I select Note on the gameplay I'll show you an image of that.



And have a look at the modifiers Is not flat is note just like DDR 1stRemix theme

I wrote the music wheel code using sm5 5.09

It looks like MadkaT hasn't added the lines for the transform functions into the lua scripts yet.

Here: https://paste.ee/p/XimxE

That would be greatful for you to try it

He's trying his best, cut him some slack.

The options menu and the modifiers are things that aren't very necessary as of right now. They're easy to implement and shouldn't be bothered with until he irons out everything else.

hey ino which version of stepmania i need to run this theme cause with my stepmania it kept crashing and stuff

Use 5.09 and make sure you're actually doing things correctly. if you're sure you added it in correctly and it still crashes, send me the metrics.ini file and I'll take a look at it.

alright let me see if that verison will work if so then ill make my SN2 and extreme usa on that version

Crash reason: Assertion '!lua_isnil(L, -1)' failed

nevermind it works now

are you still trying to load from a lua script?
Loading from a lua script is a definite way to crash if it doesn't exist.

send me the metrics.ini

https://paste.ee/p/fEojl

also how did he do the group coloring thats one of the things thats gonna hold me back in my SN2 theme

What the hell is going on with your metrics file.
You have a bunch of copied code all over the place oh and also, YOU'RE STILL LOADING A LUA SCRIPT THAT DOESN'T EXIST

this is madKat's metrics for his theme not my theme since my theme will have my own code and wheres the lua script located in the metrics of his theme?

It should br in the scripts folder but he hasn't uploaded it, just use the metrics I put in my paste.
