NO PROB

EDIT: I suggest to use STEPMANIA 3.9 Plus REDUX for this theme cuz this uses DDRSN2 Scoring (7 digits), and also to enable the mode switcher in ScreenSelectMusic to enable to choose the double chart while in single mode (ala PIU game) whats that jindev

AMAZING AWESOME AMAZINGAWESOME Good work!!

---

Thank you so much!

This is done quite well You did a very awesome job there. I know what theme I'm using

---

Screenshots?

I would like to see screenshots too. I bet this looks awesome.

I have a question. You say it's suggested to use on StepMania 3.9 Plus Redux, is it possible to use this theme on regular StepMania 3.9?

There's really no reason to be on vanilla 3.9 other than like 2 really old themes. +Redux works exactly the same, but better. Upgrade now!!

PS:

Click for fullsize, the first image goes from Splash screen to Caution, the second image is everything else except the last two screens.





The Gotta Dance results here are with one NG.

Very minor issues: Numbers are cut off on the records box on the songwheel, commas are misplaced on most numbers, and the numbers on the Results screen are cut off. Also, on the last image, the Options icon is still viewable. Also, not a huge deal but the step zone is slightly overlapped by the Groove Gauge. Cool theme overall though!

That is awesome.

Downloaded 3.9+ REDUX and installed theme...

Holy crap :O amazing job it was totally worth the install.

I love it. Thank you Silly Bear. You did a great job and I'm sure you'll make improvements to it

Can someone please post a mirror to Megaupload or something? Mediafire sucks on my dorm's internet connection. Thanks.

Here.

It's an awesome work but :

-When i play, it's laggy i don't know why ?
-The Bar + Stage (1st or event) is a little too big.

---

May i ask if what part is laggy? in my part, it plays very well...

as for the the 2nd issue you mentioned, it is already expected because aside from the different design of the Bar+Stage, stepmania program itself doesn't have a metric function to modify the location of the stepzone "to the x-axis"... unless if stepmania 3.9 (orig version and +REDUX version) program continue to update and added that function in their source code, i can move the stepzone to either left or right...

the size and location of that Bar+Stage image is the exact copy from the original CS version...

BTW, this theme can also play in versions other than the +REDUX version (3.9, vanilla 3.9 or older version) BUT, expect the score numbers in either Select Music Screen, Stage Evaluation and Evaluation Summary Screens display inaccurate. the comma displays permanent that mimics to the orig CS screen and is suitable to use the 7-digit DDRSN2 to X2 scoring system (a main feature in +REDUX patch). So better patch your 3.9 program with +REDUX version to display score numbers correctly.

For +REDUX users, don't forget to set your scoring mode to DDRSN2 to display 7 digit under Option Screen and that will surely display even in line with the comma.

I'm lacking an Encore Extra Stage image so it displays the DDRX image version of it. I accidentally overwrote the savestate that can go to the Select Music Screen at Extra Stage. And besides, it was very hard to unlock the EES. I can't AA Dead End GRS. I only got Grade A with a full combo. Any raw rip of the screen containing that EES image everyone?

Thanks everyone for your support... i'm flattered...

I haven't downloaded it yet, but I have an idea. You might not want to do this, considering it's not in X2 PS2, but still.

The difficulty display will top out at 10, because there's no 3.9(+) command to allow the bar overlap, or at least I think there isn't. So, how about taking a leaf out of CyberiaStyle's book, halving the widths of the bar blocks, and making it stretch to 20?

OK, you probably wouldn't do this, but still, just an idea. As I've said, I haven't d/l'd it yet, but it does look really good.

Also, as a question, how did you do the fonts? I'm trying to use Bitmap Font Builder, and the lack of anti-aliasing makes it look AWFUL.

---

Which CyberiaStyle version did you get the idea... so i can understand what you mean?

I do use BFB for DDRX2 fonts, but not directly applied to theme... i have to "retouch" it using photoshop to gain quality of it.
- import the BFB tga file to PShop then open
- load selection
- create new layer
- fill the loaded selection with any color you want
- if you add border to the font:
--- load selection from the the new created layer
--- expand the loaded selection to extra pixels, then create new layer again
--- optional: you can move the expanded selection to mimic Shadow border
--- fill the 2nd layer with any color you want (usually black)

- merge the two layers then save as png...
- finished
