[WIP] DDRA Theme

I checked my settings, and "Allow Extra Stage" is set to "On."

You need to keep the average score, between the played songs to get the extra stage, the theme is using the default SM5 behaviour, but basically if you get something lower than a AA o AA+ I can't remember, you don't get the extra stage. I will test the theme on a clean installation, and check if I;ve damaged something, but the tip that I've said will work, the theme doesn't have code to calculate the extra stage possibilities.

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

I've added more localizations, translated the english footers


Also updated the Japanese font for the caution screen with a bolded one.


And fixed the BMP indicator, removing the decimal numbers wich caused a text flood in some songs:


If someone could help me to find a US version of the thanks for playing screen, would be nice

Wrong, iirc I inserted the Scoring.lua script we wrote for SN3. The only requirement is to get 970,000+ (AA) score on your final stage.

If i remember correctly, the Japanese Thanks for playing screen and American Thanks for playing screen are the same.

Only the copyright section is translated on US version.

Note: both WARNING and GAME OVER screens have outdated copyright (Konami Digital Entertainment) while the newer versions of AC have update copyright (Konami Amusement). Only my 3.9 and variants' theme have a updated custom copyright as static BG (some with outdated custom copyright until the MDX:*:*:*:2016112800 version) and the font is transparent to enable video BG.

P.D.: 恋する☆宇宙戦争っ!! and 恋愛観測 add to EXTRA SAVIOR

I haven't noticed it, thanks!

Yes, but I don't know what it says, (I haven't seen it, just the JP version) and also need a screenshot or a photo, to take the dimensions of the objects.

The warning screen is in process to be remade, can you post here the JP version of the updated text?

Yeah, I will update the song list when the simfiles are added to the database.

Says "株式会社コナミアミューズメント" on GAME OVER's JP version.

Is it theoretically possible for one to implement the "rating star" system from DDR X3 and onward by editing the scoring.lua file? (I assume here that that's the only file that controls Extra Stage being unlocked)

EDIT: Also, where on the dev roadmap are Online Features?

Extra Stages are enforced by a setting in the metrics, and the only criteria that can determine whether StepMania decides you got one or not are: playing on a certain difficulty level (that is to say, ​) or higher (Hard/Heavy by default) and achieving a certain grade (AA/Tier03 by default). It should be possible to set extremely lax criteria for whether SM gives you an Extra Stage or not (say, getting a D or better on a Beginner or harder chart) and then have the theme in effect decide whether you really got that Extra Stage (by sending the player through the standard end-of-round screens even if they got an Extra Stage if other conditions aren't met), which might be good enough to pull off the rating star system.

All that's in Scoring.lua is code to calculate the number of points you earn in gameplay.

Yes, a lot of things are possible due to LUA implementation I haven't added it because I play without profiles, and I'm focused first on the theme basics, the post-DDRX2 series extra stage system uses the profiles to save the data about the gameplays, and that is the main reason to not implement it until now, but is possible.

I'm liking to create first a basic theme like DDR Extreme with the normal and common gameplay, the second item on the roadmap is the custom music wheel, and the last thing is the profile/amuse support and if there is the enough support from the users the second last thing will be the implementation of the missing features like courses, battle mode, etc.

At this point we're getting closer to finish the base theme, I need to fix a pair of bugs and finish the localizations, some missging graphics and the next item will be the custom music "wheel". I'm working at this moment on the DDRX theme rework, and I've learned a pair of things to make more improvements to this theme too.

I have put aside this theme for a moment, because the DDRX theme has a lot of interesting things to teach (It has a lot of things ), but I will get back soon to continue with this theme.

Hey guys, it's been a long time since I touched this thread. While I was playing DDR A, I managed to snag
some of the button guide formats, so here they are!

EDIT: Didn't see the top post. Sorry!

One more thing, the version text should be something like this

Ishtar: add to EXTRA EXCLUSIVE

I wish the scores saved to our profiles..

I have redone the music wheel.

It's not quite there (for starters, in the real DDR A the rows are all horizontally aligned), but wow this is looking better and better.

Wait what? Is that real???

That is so sweet! Can't wait for a download. Now all that's left is to get them aligned horizonally and the rest would be minor cosmetic changes to be more arcade accurate. I don't even mind if it doesn't have up and down navigation, it'll be like on standard cabinets.

This is a % trick to addx to each music wheel items, surely we can do it on addy, too. But the wheel scrolling looks weird that way.

Very nice Trev!
I believe the font for both the scores and the Music Wheel are different than on DDR 2014.
I think the score font is the same as the BPM Number font (but bolder)
The font for the song wheel and their folders is Arial (I think)

Also those letter grades including the +/- are are still not there yet.

It looks like all this was carried over from the DDR 2014 theme.

But I say, "It's a start!"

Looking so much better! Can't wait for this theme. Awesome job guys

This is awesome!!! Keep up the good work
