[SM 5.1-new / OutFox LTS and Alpha V] DDR A3 Theme

If you've been having the same issue I did once, you may need to add a region.lua file to your base Themes directory. It's included in the main repository for this theme (see first post).

I'll fix the font for Helvetica Compressed.
The 9 looks like the font Impact, which I can go into FontForge and Modify it.


EDIT: I will use calligraphr to make the 9.

So are you going to fix the difficulty rating number font in the music select and gameplay screens?

So I'm not sure if this is a stepmaina problem or a theme issue with A3 but is anyone else having the glitch where after you get a 100+ combo, the arrows vanish as soon as you match the arrow with their outline instead of having the little sparkle effect they normally do?

That’s a problem with your note skin. It’s looking for the explosion in the theme but it’s not there, I think some very old Curilang noteskins made for the A20+ theme worked this way which might be what you’re using. If those are what noteskins you’re using, maybe consider switching to either Peter’s DDR noteskins or Schneider’s DDR noteskins.

Of course!

Also the combo numbers and difficulty numbers too!

BTW, for my SDVX Booth DDR A3 styled theme has an alternative.
Gold = Booth
Blue = Floor Infection

ANNOUNCEMENT

Hi, so the theme will be on a hiatus for a little bit, of course this doesn't mean that we will stop working on it, actually is the complete opposite, we'll use that time to work on re-write virtually all the theme so it's more compatible with newer versions of Stepmania (5.1 and OutFox), and that will fix most of the major bugs that we have on the current version. So, hope that you guys understand and expect good things for the future ;)

Turns out that the "9" which I've explain is a font called Helvetica Inserat. I don't need to use Calligraphr, since I found out where the number 9 comes from.

I will remake the combo Numerals and use FontForge for the Difficulty Numerals!

Im so confused why. But on one of my machines. The characters and dancestages that are installed correctly, just doesnt show up. Im left with either a black screen or the BGA of particular songs that have them (ex: anti matter). I don't know why this is happening. I have changed settings around and everything. made sure it was selected on dance stage, and random character in theme options. They simply just don't show up. My other rig (my main gaming pc) has this theme and everything installed exactly like the other one does and it just works. I don't know why. Any info to help fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Also on this particular machine, the lifebar that's supposed to be at the top is also MISSING. Just gone. I don't know why that is. Scaling different resolutions, etc. didn't do a thing. its just..... gone....


P.S This happens on both Stepmania 5 and Stepmania 5.1

Turns out... I was right when I said this:


And I made good progress this far!



EDIT: FONT FINISHED!
I finished and generated the font. It took me like 10 minutes to modify the 9.
Go download it here:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1b3xBe_LN1RdR6AK18PI12DLcUbioe_tu?usp=sharing

Also, Feel free to fix some glyphs, If you find any problems!

I made a work around to hold start button to access options!

If using a dedicated options button drives you mad like it does to me, this might be for you.

I made an AHK Script that will send an options key press when you long press the start button.
The script only runs when Stepmania 5 is Open. If you are using a different program I'll explain how to change it on Step 6.

AutoHotKey is free and open source. https://www.autohotkey.com/

I used V1.1 but V2 should be fine too.

Step 1: Download and Install AutoHotkey

Step 2: Open a text editor such as Notepad and paste the following script:

Step 3: Save with .ahk extension

Step 4: Run the script by double clicking on the file you just made.

Step 4.1: (Optional) To run automatically with windows, create a shortcut.
Press "Win + R" to open the "Run" dialog box.
Type "shell:startup" and press "Enter". This will open the "Startup" folder.
Paste the shortcut here.

Step 5: (Optional) If you have different Key Bindings than the Default, Right Click on the .ahk file and open with Notepad.
Simply Replace the key with your binding
"Enter" = P1 Start
"/" = P1 Select
"NumpadEnter" = P2 Start
"Numpad0" = P2 Select

Step 6: (Optional) If you are running a different program than Stepmania 5, Just open the .ahk with Notepad and on the first line just replace "Stepmania 5" with the program you are using.

Step 7: (Optional) You can change the hold press time if you'd like. Default is 0.5 seconds. Just change the value where it says T0.5

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Hi there!
I just downloaded this theme and tried for my son and noticed that the options "FailOffForFirstStageEasy" and "FailOffInBeginner" don't work. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

You can change see that option on Options>Display Options>Appearance Option.


Sadly, that's a feature that's still not possible at the moment.


Please elaborate, we can't do anything without a constructive answer on what is wrong with the theme or what are the problems that you're encountering. if you are using SM 5.0 i swear to god...


I tested the extra stage system on both 5.1-new and OutFox and both seems to work fine, let me know if you find any issues.

---

I look it up all the theme and there is no "display option" and i dont know why

kind question, what version of StepMania 5.1 are you using? As stated on the first post, only StepMania 5.1-new works with this theme, you can find a compiled version by myself on the GitHub page, just click the 5.1-new on the readme.
