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

You guys really knocked this out of the park. It looks incredible.

Oh and take your time getting back. The internet isn't real but your lives are.

Guess gotta wait for that patch with Enciso's characters, since Outfox updated. Everything else besides that works fine. Theme looks soo cool now with the added extras.

You probably just need to go download the new characters on Encisso's Github. He re-uploaded the Super Phase version which is what the A3 theme uses. I can confirm that the characters work on the most recent Outfox with the most recent version of the theme.

Really, cuz I did redownload them and threw em into the game and all I get is a black screen when picking stages. Hmmmm.... Time to fiddle with things I guess!

Make sure you deleted the old characters/dance stages folders, and deleted the old theme. Don't overwrite anything. With the characters, stages, and theme freshly installed change to the theme and then in options choose "theme". There are specific options in there for the theme and that is where you turn on the characters and stages. I'm not having any issues on 5.1-NEW on Windows 11 or Outfox on Linux, so I know they work.

The only thing is adding the Jacket and folder animation effect during the music selection starts genre change and folder opening,
Le'Noct are asking for it,

I recreated the starting bgs in video, fixed some images and added sprites for the levels in case you want to add

I just tried this theme and it looks great! It's very well done

I'm not sure if it's been reported but the difficulty indicator and the mod icons hide the step zone in reverse mode

---

dont worry, we are working on getting those animations as soon as we can, it may take some time because the reasons i wrote on the last update tho, so please be a bit patient.



thank you for reporting this issue, it seems that it only happens on Outfox. We'll look into that.



kind question, do you know how to build stepmania 5.1-new on windows? i've been trying to build it but i just can't

---

Unfortunately I don’t, the user razor blade here compiled it and shared it with me a few months back so mine is actually a tad out of date. But I do have what is essentially a fresh install of it.

THEME UPDATE: Outfox Reverse mode fix (20220512HF)

Update highlights:

- Fixed the player name and difficulty appearing incorrectly on reverse mode
- "Under the hood" fixes


you can download it from the same link on the first post.

Enjoy <3


PS: this is a short one, but it had to be fixed.

Awesome work as always! I was curious, does anyone knows how to code the Select Song Options popup so that pressing the Select button advances one row, rather than skipping to the end? I noticed changing Input Navigation Style from StepMania Style to Arcade doesn't affect this, and it would be nice to be able to navigate the whole theme without Up and Down keys just like on classic cabs

Can re-use the Golden League Graphics for the theme since A20 PLUS Theme

But convert all lights and border lights to bronze, silver and gold for GOLDEN LEAGUE songs, green for EXTRA SAVIOR and red for EXTRA EXCLUSIVE.

---

I'm sorry man I don't know how to do it, I'm still learning about this system. As I said in the first post, you have to use the assigned buttons, sorry for that

Thank you so much for this! I have it working in Stepmania 5 pretty much perfectly, but I have 3 questions if y'all are willing to help out

1. I feel pretty silly, but for the folder naming scheme, do we put the numbers in front (i.e. 20 - A3) or just write it as the version name (i.e. A3)

2. How do I access the options menu once I have the theme added? I can't find a way to switch back to normal stepmania, or to access the other settings (Like setting up controls, or adding announcers, etc). When I boot up Stepmania now it goes straight to the DDR A3 splash screens, and the only options I can ever get to are the modifiers you can do at the arcade (speed, noteskins, etc)

3. Is there a Noteskin that looks like the arcade too? I am trying to keep the experience at home as close as I can to the arcade (I just bought 2 L-Tek pads so I can hopefully build a home rig with the capability of doubles).

Thanks again for this amazing work, and I look forward to using it as often as I can!

EDIT: I figured out how to get to options. For anyone curious, at least on Stepmania, you can press the "Home" key at the "Press to start" part of the opening screen and it'll cycle through different options. You can get to the options and settings there.

Amazing work with this theme so far, but is there a way to make the full combo animation play right when the last note has been hit?

Hey. So, I just downloaded the theme which is awesome. However, the announcer is only present when I open Project Outfox and it is not heard throughout the rest of the time I played the game. Please help.

1) the name scheme has to be "20 - A3" for the respective folder, the game will get rid of it when using the ARCADE GROUP options on the Select Music screen, you can change that by pressing left and right simultaneously on said screen.

3) we usually recommend using peter's DDR noteskins, because those are the most faithful to the originals, you can download them from this link: https://github.com/Pete-Lawrence/Peters-Noteskins

let me know if you have any more questions and ill be happy to answer them


we think that the animation is good as it is right now, so is not a change that we have in plans for the time being, sorry about that

Okay, so my questions:

1) The font for song title and artist should be Swiss 721 BT Black like in official AC DDR since A. Will that be updated?

2) The BPM display in the music select screen should display a random repeating number cycling from 000 to 999, also like in AC DDR since SuperNOVA. However, in the theme, it's not implemented, always showing the actual BPM of the song. I would like to see the randomized BPM display implemented, especially for EXTRA STAGE

3) The ddr_groove_data.lua file is still missing Doubles and the newer songs. Would you like to have an updated version? I have one right here.
