[WIP] DDRA Theme

Progress on the music select screen is really promising! This may be the theme that finally peels me away from my precious CyberiaStyle.

how...
*shakes head* y'know what? I'm just gonna take it and not ask questions. This honestly just made my day

I assume that this was added to the repo (for download)?

I checked it was not there

It seems Trav was working on his own version of the DDR A theme. There are some differences from MadkaT's version, and Trav's did manage to get the actual wheel from the game (and some other differences, such as the background).

Personally I'd love to see a fusion of both themes, since Madka's assets looks better than Trav's.

The background is in Madka's version also

The background was taken from a song video.
It looks like he has the REAL background.

Nice, looks so tricky to do I've never discovered a good way to create the item tranform funcions is so confuse for me

As a tip. I've done a lot of things of this theme, thanks to destroying a cyberiastyle theme

Nope, the trav358 version is his custom variation

Nope to this too. This is the initial video that I've used in the the progress, you could check an old screenshot:

Now getting back to the businness

I'm getting back to the Looniversity, that means, less time to theming I've been doing more theming things, but this is not the place to discuss it, I've pushed a little update, with some minor changes:

-Added the missing lights to the doors in the screen transitions
-Updated Extra Exclusive song list
-Disabled Encore Extra stage
-Pushed a version of Extra Exclusive animation (Not complete)

I've been inactive from this theme, because I'm doing updates on the 3rdmix theme, and updating (redoing) the DDRX theme too.

Yes, I have used the material such as texture and some code in MadkaT's and PKWP's theme to create a new version, which is actually brought from DDR 2014.

I will take a video later to show you how this works. Also I can release it if MadkaT and PKWP don't mind.

I'll be honest, I'm too lazy to see if someone else has mentioned it, but have you been able to make a scrolling transition of the numbers from score to score? I don't know a term for it, but for the score to look like: EX: "2467" (*note hit*) (*numbers scroll around until they land on the new score*) "2567" is shown.
As opposed to: "2467" (*note hit*) "2567" is shown.

I don't anticipate it being something easy to do, nor do I know if it's been brought to anyone's attention. I just know that it does make the numbers gameplay look much smoother, and the actual game has it.

I may be able to get a video if it's needed.

That wasn't reported here, also I haven't noticed that I've fixed it, thanks for your feedback.

My works are Open Source, go ahead!

Where did you get that noteskin? I've been hunting it down forever and I've just run into a endless span of dead and broken links.

This looks fantastic so far!

Some things I noticed (besides things which are obviously placeholder/recycled from the 2014 theme):
- I think the combo and "Fast/Slow" text in-game is a fair deal smaller than it's supposed to be.
- This may or may not be possible to change, but in actual DDRA, there are options to have notes appear above or beneath the combo AND judgement, but as it is now, the judgement is above but the combo is underneath.
- I'm pretty sure the opacity of the hexagonal forms behind the song jackets on the Music Select screen are too transparent as they are right now.

Other than that, keep on keepin' on. If I find anything else I'll edit this post.
Release-ready when?

For Trav's theme: The "Profile Select" screen in DDR A doesn't have the "My Groove Radar" portion anymore. I'm going to Dave and Buster's tonight, so I'll get a picture for reference.

I've made all the note colors (Flat, Note, Vivid, Rainbow/Solo) Also a Note+ with all the colors, but I don't like to create 5 folders to every NoteSkin, I could add to the noteskin repository the 5 different notes of the normal Noteskin, but not the others, I want to do this selectable via theming, to avoid the big mess of folders, but in the future, I still have a lot of Noteskins to dump

Thank you for all the comments, I'll see what I can improve in the theme.
As the combo and judgments field, I haven't find the method to adjust it underneath or beneath the arrows yet.

I just saw the the video of a seek peek of the DDR A theme and it looks very awesome. Major props to the person who did this masterpiece

Actually on DDR A you can set it to be underneath or beneath the arrows. (Provided you have E-Amusement linked to your Konami ID account.) So technically it is correct, For now.

I think he means he hasn't found a way to do it in StepMania, not DDR

Hi. You can find the noteskin in the first post of my DDR X2 theme thread before.

I mean adjust the area in stepmania, not in DDR.

You can probably just set it as a ThemeOption and make a Theme Option screen in options to handle all the e-Amuse only stuff
