[WIP] DDRA Theme

Need alterate EXTRA SAVIOR transitions:
Original EXTRA SAVIOR (VOL 1, VOL 2 超変速の夏!荒ぶる波のBASS MUSICセレクト!, VOL 3 U1's birthday, TAG vs U1 and 猫叉Master vs kors k): uses RINON as EXTRA STAGE LV 1
EXTRA ATTACK (Poochie, この青空の下で, POSSESSION(EDP Live Mix), BEMANIスタジアム (IX as I or as NUMBER), 発見！よみがえったBEMANI遺跡, 怪盗BisCoの予告状!! and BEMANI Summer Diary 2015): uses RINON as EXTRA STAGE LV 2
夏の流星フェスタ (流星拡散フェスタ): uses RINON as EXTRA STAGE LV 3

P.D.: EXTRA ATTACK (Poochie, この青空の下で, POSSESSION(EDP Live Mix), BEMANIスタジアム, 発見！よみがえったBEMANI遺跡, 怪盗BisCoの予告状!! and BEMANI Summer Diary 2015) -> EXTRA SAVIOR transition instead of normal transition

---

You're free to add these yourself.

Oh my god this theme is getting so crazy, great job guys.

Edit: So I just got the newest version on github, how do you get the Extra Exclusive stuff working, or the English translation of the warning screen (or anything else you guys might've added)?

I don't have all the extra level images, I'm missing the level one, I think. I will check that later.

Thanks. I haven't finished the Extra Exclusive transition all that I've uploaded is a ugly placeholder the English warning screen is made by Inori, but is not commited into the repository, for the remain graphics like the footers and others, I will create the english counterpart, but I will do that later. Is not priority at this moment.

---------------------------

Now getting back to the action, I will finish the extra exclusive transition, and I think I will take a little break with this theme, I'm rebasing my old themes, and upgrading them a little with the new things that I've learned doind this theme. If I have soemthing to show, I will post in the respective threads. Thanks to all for the support in this process.

Sweet! Great work!!!!

Hi! I would wish to say that this theme is truly amazing! However, I have noticed an issue/bug within the theme:



While scrolling through some songs, a few charts (So far, I am only seeing this issue with some of the custom charts) seem to not show the filled in radar part. I am not sure what is happening. If possible, could you look into it and see what the issue is, please?

I also have a small concern:

While playing a song, with the 4 Lives/Risky mod, I noticed that getting a Good judge timing ends up taking a life away, despite it still counts towards the combo itself. Once again, if this can be looked into, that would be greatly appreciated.

---

While MadkaT is trying his best at making this a better DDR A theme,
why don't at least a few people or all take care of the DDR A simfile music?
There are numerous songs that STILL have the announcer's voice and must have attempts to remove it to make each song more clean.

Such as:
HANDS UP IN THE AIR
siberite
RISING FIRE HAWK
Astrogazer
Emera

This is one way to at least wait for the next large update for this theme.

But overall, posting pictures and videos for the theme are still appreciated.

Clear audio will be available when the ost is released.

really do want to emphasize how awesome this theme is. i dont think ive ever enjoyed a single theme for stepmania so much -- beyond the actual PC release of In The Groove. it's almost like playing at the arcade and it's getting closer and more realistic all the time. the moving skies, the sound effects, everything. i dont know how long you plan to keep working on it but even as it is, it's really amazing, and i for one will always download whatever the newest additions are! <3 <3

That's because the radar is focused to emulate the arcade data, actually there's no way to make a radar that calculate the same arcade values and custom simfiles (if exists, we don't know the formula), in the scripts folder are the arcade values for the official files, I think you could add the values for the custom difficulty, Inori have made that implementation, he could better answer you how to solve it.

I will check that, if the battery mod is enabled it should break the combo with a Good, right?

Calm down, most of the music that is not in good quality is because is Arcade Exclusive and there is no way to get it I'm sure the simfiles will be updated when a source of the music appears.

Thanks! That was the intention, bring the closest arcade/console simulations of DDR, Stepmania5 is a perfect plattform to do this, I'll hope to learn more, and make the closest recreations of the original DDR releases in my works.

Thanks. Hopefully, I can contact him/her as soon as I can to resolve that.


That's the strange part...Getting a Good doesn't break the combo in battery life. The combo keeps going, but you lose a life by getting a Good.

---

To clarify what is supposed to happen when someone gets a good in 2013 and higher is that the combo continues and you do not lose a battery life. What is happening in this theme though, is that the Good judgment does keep the combo, but is failing to keep the battery life. (It's taking the player down from ---- to --- for example, or just outright failing them if they're playing on 1 life)

This is probably something that can be fixed by changing a metric or two in the theme though. I do remember being able to change values like this in the old 2014 theme when I used it. I'm not sure what you're using to control what takes away battery lives though, but I can probably do a little tinkering later and see if it'll work.

---

I will check it out, I haven't explored the metrics so much but if you find how to do it, share it please!

--------------------------
As a little bugfix, I've fixed the battery mod and the danger filter bug, now it toggles correctly the danger filter:

It looks great, my doubt is the select music presentation, if it's difficult make it or not. I think I going to search in internet some theme that have the same characteristics. Anything that I find, i will notify in this thread.

---

Technically not so much, is just to get a table with all the songs and groups, and rebuild it again, but is a long process, and requires investigation, and a lot of tests, there is no info about how to build one, (or I haven't found it ) I'll left it to the end, when I've finished the basics, due the investigation time and the complexity of the controls, the conditions,etc. It will require some time for me, that's the main reason, but the time for the music wheel is coming, the basic gameplay is near to be done

Just as I thought, it was a relatively simple fix. Just need to add this line into metrics.ini under LifeMeterBattery

---

Yeah, Thanks! The metrics have a lot of options, I was sure that I've seen it too. But I haven't remembered the name of the parameter the fix is done in the repo.

Hopefully I'm not being annoying about this, but I'm STILL not getting the ScreenFilter when the videos in the Random folder from ScreenGameplay underlay are playing, I only get the ScreenFilter when a song has a background movie... Am I doing something wrong here?

Another thing is that the text in the StepMania Options menu is now invisible.

It's just you, try re-installing Stepmania or delete your cache. If that doesn't work then try updating Stepmania if not then I can't help.
