[SM5 THEME] DanceDanceRevolution Next Generation ~Release~

Wow, I am really hype for this. Looks great so far.

awesome final version yay!!! i am so pumped for this

Released!
Check first post for details.

---

I can't open the mod menu. I hear the noise when it's about to open, but it never comes out, it goes straight to the doors.

The options menu functions in screen select music so you can only access it via the select key.

---

If I were to play with this theme on an arcade cabinet, how would I go about getting into the mods menu without a select button?

When I download the song pack, I get an error when extracting with WinRAR that says "unexpected end of archive".

I downloaded the song pack and extracted normally, maybe it was a download error.

Looks very good so far, trying all the song now...

---

Okay, I'll just try and redownloading it.

I noticed that the Results music and the Options music doesn't loop properly. You should try using .ogg instead of .mp3.
Issue with long group names:

I'm not sure how to get the character videos working, has anyone figured it out? I placed the stuff in the MEGA link in the right folder, but nothing is happening.

What if I want to set my background to "Static" background? Can it do that of some sort?

---

Congratulations for beating the DDR 2013 theme for sheer number of errors displayed on ScreenSelectMusic.
Please check %APPDATA%/StepMania 5.0/Logs/log.txt for errors and fix them. If you have problems, just ask.
(onscreen display of errors is still in progress, and is available to people who build from source)



Errors fill the screen when entering SelectMusic, when bringing up options on SelectMusic, and when changing songs on SelectMusic.
2 errors occur when starting a song and on evaluation.
1 error on Name Entry.
I played my first song with Risky on, then turned it off for my second, but it still failed me out of my second song on my first good, even though the life bar was normal.
Hard coding a limited set of speeds in the options is bad, because everybody has different preferences for speed mods.
Leaving out the "Blind" or "Hide Judgment" mod is bad because the combo/judgment is huge and distracting, but at least you had the decency to set ComboUnderField to true.
Name Entry screen doesn't work at all because of the error in it.

Over all, I'd say this theme needs a lot of polish and is not ready for release.

---

Found a bug: if Risky is picked but then turned off, the mod won't go away.

EDIT: Kyzentun just reported that oops

EDIT 2: If the options menu is opened, the song preview stops and does not start again when the options menu closes. I feel like this is a bug, but I can't tell if it was meant to be this way. Either way it's kind of annoying

I will occasionally get an error that says "OUTOFMEMORY", & the game crashes.

Also, the Heavy chart for Classic (in the song pack) is not a 12. It's a 10, at best.

---

Works great for me. Currently in the process of converting all my official simfiles from the DDR X2 theme into this one.

I didn't realise the song pack had been released?


The readme is misleading. The "ScreenGameplay underlay" folder in the zip file needs to go into :

[Stepmania Folder]\Themes\DDR Next Generation\BGAnimations

Cute theme, works perfect in my sm5. Thanks

---

Suggestions:
* Good (W4): no more combo break (battery can't loss a life if combo break in W4 is deleted), like in DDR 2013.
* Option for change the normal gauge to battery in player options (ex.: P1: selected normal gauge, P2: selected Battery)
* Add for "Good Full Combo", like in DDR 2013.

---

A good question would be....Has anyone ever found a way to implement the new grading system in SM5 anyways?

Waiei + DDR 2013 theme (SM5)

---

I don't know if this has been said before, but a full combo splash would be a nice addition to this list.
