[W.I.P.] SM5 - DDRX Theme

alright thanks

tried it but it made the whole free play and stuff disappear

Yes, I'm working on the coin mode to show the actual code from the default theme block the player interactions but I'll be working on it those days.

Imma try your theme and see how you did it

tried your theme and the local mode didnt change at all

Nice work on this theme, it's been a while since I checked on it.

Probably is not triggering the update of the system layer object, but is the same code of the main screen, I'll check that later.


Thanks the progress is slow, but I'll try to do my best.

Here. have an AAAA.

Here is an improved AAAA.

Finished select style screen:

Nice

Change Difficulty display is only for COURSE MODE or SELECT MUSIC screens

Aslo, in the SELECT MUSIC, display change to <> SELECT [START] CONFIRM -> ⇩⇩ OR ⇧⇧ CHANGE DIFFICULTY -> <> SORT MENU each 3 seconds.

I haven't detailed that, thanx for the feedback. Fixed now.



Added title to select music/course screen, and fixed the footer too.




Scrollbar position fixed!

Once this theme starts to get closer to being very accurate, it could easily be converted into a SuperNOVA2 theme as well. The menu background could just be a game captured video from an emulator much like Takuya's unreleased SN2 theme.

Not sure if it's be just as easy for a SuperNOVA theme though, which has much more 3D elements. Anyways, keep it up MadkaT, your work is very appreciated.

DDR SN, SN2, X2 CS and DDR X have difficulties down of Groove Radar.
Aslo, in Course Mode, don't have Groove Radar.

Fixed difficultybg behaviour and fixed the position for the actual difficulty list like VR0 said. While I can find the way to create the DDRX style difficulty list:



I'll check the course song list position later

And I have foound a screenshot of the thank for playing image, to start to recreate it

I honestly prefer the exact original position of all left and right images during widescreen mode (in select music screen).

Don't worry about that. As I've said on the first posts, when the theme is finished, I'll make patches for 4:3 screen ratio, arcade, ps2 versions etc. That is easy to implement, at this moment I'm focused on finishing the remaining elements from the default theme. I'll make a to-do list on the first post, with them. Actually I'm trying to do the select difficulty actor based on the musashi works. Thanks for watching and the feedbacks!

Difficulty colors in Select Music:
Beginner: Baby Blue
Basic: Yellow
Difficult: Red
Expert: Green
Challenge: Violet
Edit Data: Grey

In the DDR X2 theme on sm5 it has that difficulty colors

For Select Music screen, what I mean is, the placement of all images minus the headers and footers from SD mode remains the same for both SD and HD mode. You can just change the texture coordinates relative to center, not relative to left or right side.

You don't need to make patches for both SD and HD versions. It IS possible to consolidate both in one theme. Think about using IsUsingWideScreen() in lua condition statements.

Edit: Here is the actual DDR X AC HD display for Music Select that I suggested. All items minus header and footer (which are both stretched) are placed the same as in SD version.
