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

I think what he ment by game mode is the normal game mode, course mode, and other modes that were in ddr x.

I don't think the tester would expect osu or something from stepmania.

---

Course mode is there. Why would you put tutorial mode? and Battle mode is there if you just advanced the screen select to it same with Endless. and this is AC wise.

---

WHen I mean gamemode, I mean Tutorial, Battle, Course, and Endless.

Its a W.I.P. DDR AC doesn't have Endless, so thats not gonna be in there. Battle might be in there and Course is definitely in there.
I dont think we need Tutorial.

---

We don't need tutorial mode in SM5 and plus no one knows how it works

Even though we don't necessarily need those modes, I'd like to see if it could somehow be implemented in the theme. I know the theme is based off the AC version, but you never know.

A lot of messages here first a notice:

The first version of the announcer is here > < is not complete because I haven't the enough time to play and complete, but is completed in a great percentage as far as I can remember are only missing some evaluation things, I'll update it later with more time, and when the first version is done, I'll make the "lite" version, removing/cutting the longest words that don't let us hear the music more like the old school announcers to make it less annoying.

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

Taking back to the theme:

The tutorial mode in DDRX was a mode with the easier song/difficulties selectable on the select music screen, and in the gameplay the screen shows the white beat lines/separators like we see in some actual videos:



I haven't remember if the endless mode was on arcade, but well, there are not much videos of ddrx system on the internet.

Some days ago I've found the missing thanks for playing image with emi


This screen is the equivalent to the song list on the old series, right? I don't remember

Well, I'm remaking this, like the game over screen to make more accurate. About the theme, there is not much progress, I've done some modifications, but some things gone wrong and I haven't repaired them

As always thanks for reading and for the comments

The arcade version of DDR X does not have endless mode. Only home console ports ever get endless modes. You can scratch that off the theme if you want full authenticity. You could also make 2 different themes for both arcade and PS2, if it's not too much work. XP

You don't actually need to make 2 themes if you want both arcade or PS2 version. In ChoiceName metrics under ScreenSelectPlayMode, you can just input a global function like PlayModes(). For PlayModes(), this will be your function statement (see link below)

DDR 3rd and 4th had endless mode.

I've been so busy, but the theme is not dead slowly, but is progressing, this time the noticeable update is the score and difficulty bgframes, they are working on normal and reverse gameplays, those days I'll try to code the stage header, and try to change the difficulty actor.



I've fixed some bugs too. C'ya later with more news!

-----------

Lastest update:

-Added stageframebg:
-Still left to do the reverse scroll checks to change the Y position.




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

Newset update:

Added initial version of screen information graphics! It work for stages from 1 to 6, final and encore stages. I'll complete with course, endless and aditional graphics later. I'm out of time due to Real Life. But the theme is still in development



C'ya later.

Your theme looks better than my ddr extreme usa theme lol

This actually looks very good.

Congrats on 573'd post

oh my. I just noticed. LOL
Thanks~

---

Thanks, I've fixed the banner for songs too. Still left the course banner. The stage information screen is near to be done.

Looks ALOT like the actual arcade besides the madkat thing. Are you gonna add the CREDITS thing? is that possible? Showing the profile name is bad.

---

It's possible ;-;

That is because I've created a profile to test the data saving screen and stepmania is in event mode, if you don't have local profiles It will not show, it will be replaced with the credits string I also have to test another variations of the status, but I'll try to do a closest skin due to arcade and ps2 versions ;) there are still a lot of work to do, I think to implement configurable things vie theme options like the kcal counter, or the high scores in the song information screen. But first I have to make at least a "home" playable theme this theme still has a lot of features to implement.



To release the first version I have to finish the gameplay screen and the course/nonstop modes, then I'll be adding more features to create a nice theme closest and better (as possible) than the arcade version. Also it gives me experience for the secrete parallel theme I'll reveal it later, when this theme progress is near to complete. Thanks for the support I hope to do a good theme that everyone enjoys and can show the power of some SM5 features Thanks for the comments, C'ya again with more news!

What does the data saving screen look like?
