DDR X2 CS Theme ver2.1 for SM 3.9a, SM 3.9 Plus REDUX and SM AMX

http://stepmania.aldo.mx/
this is Aldo_MX (or called AMX for short) version
that sillybear used it to display artist name in gameplay

---

It works but this..



I didn't PFC that song

---

I think sillybear forgot to add image : AAA Full Combo

---

He has already the full combo image but the StepMania.ini has the problem in it.
I'll find a way to make it accurate, KcLKcL.

I've noticed that there seems to be problem with the placement of theme elements. The top bar overlaps part of the stepzone which you can see in the area I've outlined in red below:



Any suggested ways to fix this or otherwise move the stepzone slightly?

---

Unless it used custom code not implemented until SM4. Can someone verify? I'll send someone the official ITG AC theme if necessary.

Edit: Here's the lua command that OpenITG uses. Since OpenITG is running on 3.95 and I see lua functions throughout your theme, there's no reason why this can't be implemented.

try change this on metrics.ini

I just uploaded the main theme only, but I'm planning to port those to the modified SM 3.9 Plus REDUX someday.

---

Works perfectly, thank you!


Also sillybear, I've done this before on some of Takuya's themes but never mention it because of how he is against ANY type of modification to his themes even if it isn't shared. Perhaps it's just that I trust you more not to fly off the handle at the mere idea.

Basically I've gone through and edited a few graphics and such to make my copy of the theme as if it were a European version. Biggest examples are the words and graphics for 'Marvellous' and 'Favourite' which I've changed to the original English versions that you can see there. I may have missed some things but I've effectively covered most of the commonly seen stuff.

Would you be against the idea of me potentially creating a patch pack for people interested in copying over the altered graphics if they happened to be European or otherwise prefer or were interested in a British English version of the theme?

---

You can do that... no prob for me. it's ok...

---

Thanks for the continued efforts sillybear. For some reason this version of the theme smooths out a lot of loading bottlenecks I got with the last version, screen to screen transitions don't stall out as badly as they used to.

Also I updated my last post. I can't theme my way out of a wet paper bag it seems so maybe you can do something with it.

I did more marvellouses than before with the update.

---

It is maybe due to the new assist tick delay timing update... but btw, did you play with the assist tick enabled?
Are they (assist tick sound) in sync with your perfectly synced simfiles?

Anyway, i am supposed to be uploading a new patch for DDR X2 CS theme ver2.0, it updates the following:

- added DDR X1 and DDR SN2 artist name image overlays during gameplay (READ NOTES BELOW)
- slightly shifted down the stepzone so that the P1 right arrow and P2 left arrow don't coincide or hit the stage frame image
- fixed temporary bug in artist names in Course mode gameplay (BETA)

Notes:
- may take additional loading time of at least 8 seconds after the crowd cheer (assuming you are using DDR X2 Announcer) during Stage Screen. This is due to addt'l reading of condition statement in the metric for new artist names and more caching of artist name overlays. I can tell you how to avoid this but you have to block the new codes for artist name overlay, so you have to turn them off and minimize loading time in screen stage. Feel free to ask me.

It seems like it is uncertain/hesitant to add more artist name overlay from DDR SN1 and below. The more you add these overlays, the more the loading time in stage screen occur.

I hope there is somebody who can add new codes for just the artist names in gameplay and compile the REDUX source.

Just tell me if you want me to upload this new patch...

I wasn't playing with assist tick but when i'm typing this, i'm playing with assist tick. I'm taking screenshot and i'll write some feeback

The order of songs is like the DDR X2 category : http://zenius-i-vanisher.com/v5.2/viewsimfilecategory.php?categoryid=453

If i make 10 greats or less, that's ok.
If i make more than 100 perfects, then there is a little problem
If i make many greats and perfects, then the song isn't sync (the song didn't start at the good moment). [Like Anti Matter]

It is not necessary to count boss songs because my arm was tired haha

---

Seems like Anti-Matter S-Expert is really hard to play with... same for New Decade...

---

Because of the colors i think. It's too bright. Do you have any way to add the Screen Filter ? I knew that you were working for but i thought you give up already

---

It is still possible but still.. using unorthodox method again... i mean, this will always be permanently displayed (static bg) without selecting the screen filter modifier. Only one type of screen filter to be displayed. What do you like? 25%, 50% or 75% transparent black?

EDIT:

because anything in the BGAnimation folder are ordered to the top layer before anything in Graphic folder... so the only way to do is use the Static BG in Graphic folder to make screen filters.

---

In DDR on PS2, i always use Darkest so i think i'll take the 75%
