[WIP] DDR X2 AC theme for Stepmania 4-ssc

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this photo floating around before, but this can be a great reference photo for the theme:

I compared it alongside gameplay videos of X2 and the only difference is that the stage box on the life meter is blue in the photo compared to being green now.
The screenshot also shows that the artist text is a tad smaller than the title along with a thinner border around the text.

This is an old screenshot because everything is green now and this one have some blue thing and the life bar is different.

---

knowing Konami.......it the US version of X3(?) CS or the Xbox version (maybe they will change the color to green...)

@Greaf: I'm aware of the differences. Other than colour, the life meter is the exact same design.

@Queen-Zukin: No, Greaf is right, it is an older screenshot, but I thought bringing this back up may help the development of the theme.

I'm also still hoping that the Xbox version will be the arcade port. Calling it X3 though would be a bit awkward like how the titles of Final Fantasy were in different regions.

Good news, ne0's almost got SN2 style scoring working upstream. He's just gotta fix the hold judgement to cooperate properly.

This will be a big boon, for me, and for you.

Got a question.

When doing challenge courses set on dance points, jump freezes are worth 6 points (Marvelous) when they should only be worth 3. (4 for Perfect, 2 for Great)

Will this SN2 style scoring fix that, or will it still do double points when executed?

---

that sounds right to me. 6 points for a marvelous freeze. 3 for the marvelous and 3 for the freeze.

---

The jump freezes are counting for twice as much though when they shouldn't. So when completing a marvelous freeze, I believe you get 6 initially and 3 more for completing it, for a total of 9.

Did anyone get the menu theme yet? I would like to hear it in high quality. XD

Nothing out from what I've heard. You can hear the bgm in some lineout videos online, but it's only for like 10 seconds or so till they choose something.
From what I've heard from those videos, it doesn't sound too hard of a beat to replicate. So it should be possible for someone to ear-copy this.

---

the loop is probably at least 57 seconds long (if precedent is followed), no videos I know have the menu music uninterrupted for that long due to landing on songs. good luck copying something you've never heard before.

---

If someone knows the general beat to the loop, they can always just predict what it would sound like if it went on you know. This isn't recreating a song here, it's a music loop. Most music loops (specifically this one in general) don't have that much complexity to it.

---

what else needs the theme? Why are not published yet?

---

Hi friends, the theme is awesome, is only a matter of time for you publish the oficial theme. I found this video in HD of the DDR X2 AC JP with many details about the options and characters of the game and how the courses work, I leave the video link. I hope the video will serve as progress.

bye and good work!!!!!!!

You could communicate the modifications luna in ssx to obtain the high-end music screen as midiman and lirodon
Thank you

By which you mean Lua and ssc, I assume.

P.S. Welcome to Z-I-v!

---

Yes on ssc with lua
What lines of command(order) has to modify for the music high-end (rotation of the castor(roulette) da the sense(direction) horizontal??
For the rest of the theme X2 AC I understood!!
Thank you

I propose we release a preview version which uses the menu music from X2 CS. Then when we get the music, we can release a patch to replace the files. If anyone can record lineouts from an arcade machine, they should just let the music loop... or maybe it'll be on the OST.

---

I agree with you there, I'm getting kinda bored waiting for this thing to be absolutely perfect, when we don't need it to be that way. Just give the people who have been waiting for this theme since it was first announced to be in the works something to play with until we can get the stupid menu theme up and running.

---

Can it do a Great full combo AAA (X2 scoring), and if you get a full combo (not a PFC or MFC) will the full combo indicator show up?

This video shows where the high scores should go. Just skip it to about 2:50
